ok redlands focus to the muslim. countries i think muslims in european countries. believe that you know they joy the greatest freedoms in the muslim communities in the west are thriving most of all in europe and when they think about the position of muslims in america to be honest with you i think they think that the numbers are tiny before i caught the plane here actually i was with my mom and i said who are you as we say in somalia. how many muslims you think they're on in the whole of the united states and she said hundred thousand hundred fifty thousand you know the whole united states in the whole united states but i mean as i understand there is anywhere between five and eight men. i mean when you think about america as a land of opportunity and sort of seizing things with both maybe the sort of you know the next rock humas if i could be so arrogant as to say that will come from him because you. think so. i have distant relatives in the somali community here they're among the first to escape the civil war that's been raging in my homeland off and on for decad

muslim and really the importance of it how it would affect not only muslims but christians sue. was not realized ballasts in one thousand nine hundred five in what way was it important turning that means alaska national this movement as extreme as ours believing what we believe in the race issue could make a one hundred eighty degree turn and join the muslims of the world good christians and of the good people of this earth is amazing but when you look from the middle east to europe thinking of america as a bad place to be a muslim it's like living in the belly of the beast and i've heard that how would you say that life is like for people well we know things that happened to make america peer ugly in the eyes of citizens of this country and that is a world that if we can see america the beautiful that has advanced against america the ugly successfully. then i'm sure that we would recognize that america is the most fertile soul we have for x. davening our religion and our future for our children grandchildren and children to come and then my journey across america i want to find

would you say just sort of young muslims living in other parts of the world would think being a muslim in america is a very tough thing and such are i mean there's advantages there's disadvantages we definitely have a lot more opportunity is that it's kind of difficult going up any different especially where i'm from it's a stance and the only muslim in my school dealing with some of my high school so that's definitely a challenge but once you get past that you know you can there's so many different avenues so many different opportunities for you to connect with and what it's like to be able to come into the united states get challenging and rewarding on the same time but i think the most important thing to remember is that you don't you know what we can make you know if we want and i encourage all muslims around the world to actually do the same you know please get to know your elected officials will it all that's the only way you can make a difference. well that's going to get. you guys who are happy to see you know this is when the slaves got free right this is a great example of th

the muslims. and again they do the same in india and then in the punjab we see the muslims retaliating by attacking the sikhs and killing a lot of sikhs in march nine hundred forty seven so the whole thing is blowing up in a way that's becoming really completely uncontrollable. in march nine hundred forty seven lord louis mountbatten arrived in delhi. as the last viceroy of india he's been tasked by the british prime minister to negotiate an exit deal with indian leaders. batten appeared bent on hastening the end of imperial rule and soon came to favor the option of partition. again and again. but. once you are gone. but. only after you decide. and. then of course the congress leaders decided that they would accept the partition. was able to stir up so much trouble for them that if they didn't concede for a separate state of pakistan then he would he would cause terrible disruption within within after independence and perhaps compromise the integrity of the indian nation state perhaps collapse. wa

because like many muslims he viewed it as a pattern izing attempt by hindus to assimilate muslims. gandhi saw himself as a universalist he didn't want to be seen as hindu but his indians. going to put out i got me going to do yet everything about his style his dress was typically hindu the menu and. so musical memory is embrace of renunciate are a disciplines and linking of ascetic practice with political aspirations all that created the impression of a quintessential hindu sales. shimla the summit capital of british india. in the one nine hundred forty six the leaders of the muslim league and indian congress party met here to discuss ways to implement vision of a united independent india. there is nothing diplomacy failed in the face of generous intransigence. after three weeks the talks broke down. campaign centered on a single topic congress was a hindu party with a hindu leader and if hindus won the first elections after independence muslims would face assimilation and oppression to survive they needed their own state of pakistan so in one hundred forty six he decides to take t

well hindu nationalists massacred muslims muslim league extremists butchered hindus ghandi was horrifying. he began to fast in calcutta which he vowed to continue until the violence stopped. he refused to relinquish his vision of an india where the two communities could live in friendship and peace. and gandhi was watching all this he was doing his best he went to. he walked around the villages which where the muslims have massacred the lord's and he talked to the muslims he really put his life on the line and he went without any protection just a few of his followers walking on foot. and he managed to persuade the muslims that there was not not right to do this as he walked people would throw glass pieces on the way they would fall excreta in his spot and his answer to that was to even give more of the very simple founded speech he used to bear in order to walk and in fact walking barefoot this had a tremendous more to impact and the fatted that we like to draw is between in the christian tradition the crucifixion of christ that is suffering for humanity tormenting the fish in order to m

the muslims. and again they do the same thing in and then in the punjab we see the muslims retaliating by attacking the sikhs and killing a lot of sikhs in march nine hundred forty seven so the whole thing is blowing up in a way that's becoming really completely uncontrollable. in march nine hundred forty seven lord louis mountbatten arrived in delhi as the last viceroy of india he had been touched by the british prime minister to negotiate an exit deal with indian leaders mountbatten appeared bent on hastening the end of imperial rule and soon came to favor the option of partition. gandhi said the game and the game in the poor narky but don't buy it we will sort it out once you are gone then we will see how to do it but the beauty said we will go on leave after you decide who should go. and that is all parties and became absolutely inevitable so by me he went to the extent of saying that. the only big platform is that barbie. and then of course the congress leaders decided that they would accept

later on he also joined the muslim e a group protecting the muslim minority. both parties were fighting for an independent india which at the time was gina's ultimate goal jinnah in strongly opposed to the idea of a separate muslim nation and indeed he is saying this is british divide and rule they want us to be divided we've got to stand together we've got to fight for our freedom if we don't fight for our freedom to get that we will never be free but he increasingly gets sidelined by a new younger generation of leadership among whom particularly there is there is no room who is his nemesis handed now who calls for an indian republic is accused by the league of working for domination over the muslim minority but are making everyone with britain's grip on india weakening nehru and the indian national congress grew in power nehru wanted a new india to have a strong central government run by his party. this alarmed general who argued muslim majority regions should govern themselves it was a losing battle winner realized that given the imbalance in political supp

that doesn't suggest any short of general bias against muslims or that they will ban all muslims because of a fear and the proclamation is opposite to say there is inadequate information sharing or other risk factors. and the people without problem andhe then they they will protect them until they do so.

would you consider this terrorist organization that they could be exchanged for selling muslim being sent back to. i think there was little expectation even thought would succeed and i think the turkish prime minister also gave insight into how uncle was thinking he said whatever the result is he said that the fact that saudi muslim has been detained is and that is an indication that indeed was any terror leader is no longer free to travel for a year europe with impunity so i think in many ways are considering these the victory the fact that suddenly it was actually brought to court and detained in the first place although we also have to point out that he is a good for you know i we don't know was whereabouts but we also know that he is a free man in europe tonight we know that turkey says that mr muslim is a terrorist or suspected terrorist so what does the government what does it base its allegations on. well we're going to have any evidence from. this they just say the fact the muslim was the head of the p y d which is the political wing of this militia the white p.g. which is fi

this they just say the fact the muslim was the head of the p y d which is the political wing of this militia the white peachey which is fighting in syria is a key ally of the united states from one christmas break that they say is linked to the kurdish rebel group the p.k. k. which has been fighting a decades long insurgency inside turkey now what i'm calling to report to turkish reports is that they are saying that there was this deadly car bombing in the capital on current twenty sixteen which killed over thirty people injured schools more now they blamed that on a suicide attack of a member of the syrian kurdish militia the white peachy and i think by the fact that sally muslim was ahead of its political wing at the time that directly links him to the attack now has to be said that the both the p y d and the y p g militia of the night any involvement in that attack they strongly dispute that they were involved in any way linked to the insurgency inside but from unger's perspective they have strong evidence from their point of view that links this militia to that attack and therefo

not all muslims are the same."hat was kind of a good way to not lump all the muslims together, in terms of not everybody is bad. >> i'm just curious about the structure of the trip. were you all in the meetings together with these different groups, rabbi marv? >> yeah, there were only 12 of us, so we stayed together. 12 of us from the u.s., and then the israaid staff, depending where we were, which part of greece we were in. >> what was the day like? it was like five days, right? >> four days. >> four days. >> the day was pretty intense. early in the morning till the evening. and one of the things that i had sort of fantasized and had expected -- i have a number of friends who did volunteer work in the midst of the refugee crisis in greece. i anticipated meeting lots of refugees and getting to know them. but we weren't in any one place, at least for me, long enough to be able to do that. but what i was just tremendously impressed by and touched by were the ngo's that we dealt with, like israaid and other ngo's all

or in the muslim world and stability in g.c.c. is so important for all of us and there are some claims and accusations and so far not even one single evidence has being. shared. they told us that they will send all the evidence says we haven't received anything and each time i see anybody from kuwait from leadership i mean i asked them whether they have received any evidence about these accusations they say no because kuwait is the mediators country and therefore it was a very much political decision and unfortunately. it didn't. serve. the interests of any countries in the region or in the site so i hope they will overcome this situation soon and we still believe that. south korea can lead actually this process and to overcome this situation but i mean as you were engine quit has been leading mediation you in your country has also tried in the very beginning actually a couple of days before the siege was announced president and one sent envoys to riyadh and the how to try and resolve things as things were escalating i went but pe

, you will find what about al jazeera which is staffed with muslim brotherhood. the bottom line is that you have got the egyptian brotherhood which i think the egyptian muslim brotherhood which i think is the home base, the center nuclear cancer cell. that should be labeled a terrorist organization. hamas already is. offshoots should be labeled as such. ideologues in london, the muslim brotherhood never put an office down here but there are a lot of believers in islamism. the muslim brotherhood is an ideology. in the middle east, they do not carry cards. just like we were fighting the cold war. we understood the communist party was not our ally. we did not shut them down. we allowed them the freedom to speak out. there werethat significant threats but we did not shut them down. muslim brotherhood organizations it is easier to monitor them when they are above ground. middle east dictatorships are classic examples of this. whenever they push the muslim brotherhood underground, they come back and recap it. touched onhave not china yet. -- when thent chinese presiden

communities and muslim women they talked about other groups but muslims were not included i'm sure was not intentional -- intentional but at the same time one of the original founders was already in conversation with african-american civil rights leader a chicana woman working on criminal justice reform and already in conversation are talking about women of color when i made that comment they said we have a muslim american organizer then she has to be included and they were like absolutely so that is how i joined the woman's march. originally when i went to the table we came with the condition especially in my death the critiques that was started so we didn't want to be look at the one black woman or the one woman so we asked to be cochairs we also had very important roles with the assistance around operations as a fundraiser also the principles to be in charge of what was manifested beyond that day and it was a lot of work and something you have to think if we had the resources to engage but it happened and it was amazing and hard but it happened. >>host: tell us your favorite moment

as a muslim woman there were sacrifices for me to stand here and say them unapologetically muslim and her words are so inspirational and someone like her who is seen so much pain and trauma and was in the midst of a moment he or she is still alive during the reemergence of a civil right movement in this moment i think anyone who is feeling feel hope sister aisha was wonderful. for the program we talked for your family and your children and you are bringing into the room the lions and lionesses of the civil right movement and all that went into what is now universally praised across the ideological spectrum and how much sacrifice and pain and blood and sweat went into it and you were talking about watching the movie, your kids. i thought it was a beautiful story and you sure us that with our viewers speak to i think people often see as they see us on national television sharing artwork and stories they might see us on a color under cover of a magazine and they think it's glamorous and unfortunately it is not. no one wants to be anyone on the front lines of the movement and especially y

muslim denies any involvement d.w. spoke to him exclusively just one week before his arrest turkey says that the why p.g. and that the people that these are terrorist organizations. they say that they are no different from the p.k. which we know that many governments around the world have classified as a terrorist organization the links are strong aren't they know it's not true well i mean war where you yourself though once with the p k k no i was really an engineer and so there. was an engineer and you never know what is it about that. nothing to do with why is it then that for example that p y d has said his arrest was any legal and immoral act by czech authorities if extradited he would be the most high profile kurds in turkey captivity in nearly twenty years. joining me now as correspondent love to move on building back he's in the syrian town of call bani which is solidly muslims hometown loving what have been the reactions in call body do solid muslims the rest. then the christian go back into a very unhappy with

terrorists are all bad, you know, i want to kill terrorists and muslims.ngs into my own hands. things like that. the next day, osborne drove to london. his original target, this pro—palestinian march, where he says he hoped to kill as many muslims as possible and jeremy corbyn. but road closures meant he couldn't get near, so he ended up in finsbury park looking for a mosque. just after midnight he came down the seven sisters road, swerving across the bus lane at speed, and impacting the group of worshippers just here. his foot hard down on the accelerator. he ran three people down, knocking several more to the side, and then smashed into the bollards at the end of the street. his radicalisation complete, he had achieved his aim — to kill. mohammed mahmoud, the imam who saved osborne that night, says his congregation were left fearful. it left people wondering, would there be more, what next? if a car can be turned into a weapon and cause multiple casualties in one go, in an instant, then could this be expected again in the future? the jury rejected darren

or turkey considers a solid muslims party to be an offshoot of the p.k. k. group accused of running a decades long insurgency on turkish territory the us and the e.u. have deemed the p k k terrorist organization and here's what turkey's president to one said about the arrest. now the head of the p y d has being caught him and. how i hope god willing is that the czech republic will hand him over to turkey. and made justice be done. they broke up our religious community they told this nation the pot's and that is why we are fighting these terrorists. now it's important to note here that sali muslim was not fleeing turkish authorities when he was arrested in fact he has been moving and speaking freely here in europe just last week he appeared right here on the day we have. truly i mean we have some numbers there were syrian kurds or syria they were among the people and then when the syrian conflict started they tended to defend their families and their syrian their curves for them not the people here anymore and. i mean many people because you know the some pit

the muslim religion over. people even suggesting perhaps you'd be interested in running for some sort of political office how do you feel about that you've clearly got strong opinions on these. i think that's flattering but. i also think that so i'm abolitionists i believe in a world in which these systems and structures in which are kind of exacerbating in time of the racism in creating it aren't necessarily fitting into the system doesn't necessarily make them go away but we're just trying to assimilate into white supremacy because this is anti muslim racism it's not just individuals biased against each other it's part of a larger system just like anti-black racism and so we have to think about this structurally rather than just wanting to just like change your policy is that when there's a whole structure of profit internationally that works within the military that works and surveillance in all of these countries that are also engaged in perpetuating anti muslim bias israel for example spreads so much anti

darren osborne from cardiff was described as a loner who'd become obsessed with muslims after watching tv drama and looking at far—right groups online. the 48—year—old told the court he was not mad but angry. let's speak to our correspondent asad ahmad who's outside the finsbury park mosque where that attack took place. you have spoken to local residents and people from the mosque, what has been the reaction? i have to say the reaction is one of calm, particularly at the muslim welfare house which is that building behind me, the building the murdered man walked out of before darren osborne ploughed his van into him and killed him. and also the finsbury park mosque, i was there an hour ago and there was no sense ofjubilation to there was no sense ofjubilation to the verdict or hatred towards darren osborne. people just say we want to get on with our lives, a short time ago i spoke to an imam who was the imam who stepped in to protect darren osborne after the attack from people who were angry and shocked at what happened who wanted to get their hands on him but he protected darren osborn

come back to the program a court in a small german town has banned its local mosque playing the muslim call to prayer that's a couple complained but not just about the noise it's a kind of vocal chant in a tone that has a disturbing effect on us but we are mainly concerned with the content of the call this puts above our guard of christians and as a christian who grew up here in a christian environment i can't accept that. the mosque was forced to stop its call to prayer after a complaint in twenty fifteen how ever the court only came to its final decision a matter of days ago and it could still be appealed we went to the tallinn west germany to hear how residents feel about the move. to ban was unacceptable because the court assessed whether the noise was audible from a distance the people who are here assessed that the noise isn't possible to hear from over there was it is important for people that the call is there so that they know oh it's time for worship and then they are prepared to pray for mr president for me it's quite separate from the issue of religion i'm very much for rea
