, and being of muslim and it is certainly not that. and i want to wrap it up, because i want to get back to azra, but i have had the most extraordinary experiences with beautiful friends and warm and welcoming peoplek and i have also seen the face of pure evil. i don't know if people have seen the news today, but the press release has been released that two women in brooklyn and actually from queens, they pleaded guilty today in brooklyn to basically preparing and planning to build a bomb and distribute bomb-making instructions to followers. they are extremists. they are radicals, and they follow groups like al qaeda and islamic state and they actually had the intention of using a weapon of mass destruction or a woman in the united states, and these are two women, two american women, and muslim women who have been radicalized, and so this is a very important discussion. i am happy to be here. i am hoping that azra and i can dispel some of the inaccurate information out there and get to the root of what is causing this rise in radicalis

muslim women that had been radicalized. so i think this is a really important discussion, i am really happy to be here, and i hope that osler and i can dispel some of the inaccurate information that is out there, and really get to the root of what is causing this rise in radicalism amongst some in the muslim community and what we can do as a nation to stop this, and to find a way to communicate and make a difference. >> and how has radicalism made its way to the u.s.? we are seeing a rise in domestic terrorism for both in terms of anti-semitism, white supremacy mama but also islam is in. and i'm wondering how you all see that making its way to the u.s., how has that, how is that ideology getting root in a place where we value things like democracy and freedom and liberty? >> for me, i grew up, i came from india, and i lived first in new jersey, then i lived in morgantown, west virginia. in the foothills of the appalachian mountains. my father was a professor at west virginia university. and so when i was a teenager, i went

it's been hijacked by muslim leaders, women muslim leaders who want absently no conversation about the women's rights issue in islam because they know it's our achilles' heel. and they know that if you dare to touch the issue, you're going to end up with an indefensible argument related to segregation and lack of equal rights and just so many fundamental issues. and so they have completely abandoned it, to me, women in so many muslim countries like the women in iran who want to simply have the right to feel the wind in their hair. just such a simple idea. when you go outside as women, and when you go outside as men and see a woman being able to just walk freely, this is the feeling that i have is wow, do you know how amazing and experience this is? because it's denied millions of women. and, unfortunately, the feminist movement today wants to say that you are an islamophobe if you want to talk about these issues. but that's what i i say stand p with moral courage and challenge of them and feel no shame about raising these important issues. >> exactly. thank you so much for such an impo

of being muslim. [audio breaking up] in the middle east and i will wrap it up because i want to get back to asra. i have had the most extraordinary experiences. beautiful friends, warm and welcoming people. if people have seen the news today -- you know, a press release that two women in brooklyn actually from queens they pleaded guilty in brooklyn to basically preparing and planning to build a bomb and distribute bomb making instructions to followers. they are extremists. they are radical. they follow groups like al qaeda and islamic state. they actually had the intention of using a weapon of mass destruction on a large bomb in th united statese. these are two women, two american muslim woman that had been radicalized. so, i think this is a really important discussion. i'm really happy to be here. and i hope that asra and i can dispel some of the inaccurate information that is out there. and really get to the root of what's causing this rise in radicalism among some in the muslim community and what w

not run by muslims you trying to define young muslim women's identity thank you but muslim women can speak for themselves well soup is this is is just the latest platform to be embroiled or transparency of route just a few weeks ago us social media network team called this is woke a paid to claiming to engage in critical thinking amas him traditions was found to be receiving funding from you guessed it but home office who are the problem is this the 1st of all the home office seems to says the only thing is sees does in the muslim community is a extremism in many ways this is really should engine hearing of trying to say is that there is something fundamentally wrong with muslims in the main street and we need to social engine here to sort of changed so there will not be problematic living in our society it really is sort of extension of seen the whole muslims as possible terrorist a so therefore we should have these projects to changed into something more acceptable so perhaps the young muslim women in the u k right now be slightly more hopeful the new home secretary pretty patel wh

muslim leadership let the muslims down we should have explained to them what our prophet peace be upon him meant means to us so in one minute i'll try and explain what he means to us a prophet. was the witness to the divine book the holy koran the holy koran is the book of guidance for muslims and the prophets life. was living the koran he was an example of what the koran guided us to be so he is the ideal we all tried to get to. the prophet created the state of body down the 1st state in islam that state was the basis of a muslim civilization which became the predominant civilization for the next 700 years and what was that state i has such strange things about islam that it is against women it's against minorities the 1st state of islam. in medina. most of it was the 1st time a welfare state was set up the state took responsibility of the weak weirdoes of poor people handicapped. attacks the rates spent the money on the poor the state announced that all human beings are children of adam hence equal whatever the color of the skin the state announced the prophet announced. bed and slav

this was the muslim band. in my oversight, as chair, i want to know what that waiver process looks like. i appreciate that the state provided the data but as i look at that data, as the tens of thousands of waiver applications, only 5 percent has been granted. on a no why 95 percent were denied. 95 percent by trying to come to the united states for reasons of hardship or national interest. or national security risk. again i want to know what happens when that waiver application to the back black box. who makes the decision. what is that process look like. what authority have a counselor and officers been given. i think about this in the context of our most important fathers members of congress. it's just not from oversight but from people who do work for our constituents. people who would represent us. i think about one of my own constituents, omnia. omni is the two -year-old. like many families industries all across this country. limit share her story. her mother is an american citizen. she happens to be in l

in indonesia little non muslims and it's not just non muslims who are somehow it's likely lower middle class working class women who find the sheet laws used against them to blackmail to intimidate to arrest so it's potentially very serious damien and islamic groups in indonesia they're saying that these proposed changes to the country's criminal code reflect the character and personality of the indonesian people and the nation are they accurate in saying that well let. it reflects the character a knight sure of some intonations we're going to keep in mind there's always been a very conservative bent amongst some in the nations going back decades islam islam has been a popular strain within the nation politics and society amongst some in the scenes for a long time it's never been in the majority as gregg's pointed out it's probably not more than 20 percent in the electoral but it's very influential and most in the nations will size them muslims even if they're not devout muslim and they're very unlikely to want to go against what they want to put them as muslim precepts out even though

>> i think muslim communities in europe are watching closely to see what happens to young muslims fromfrance, belgium and germany. like what will be their fate? will they be prosecuted and aided in the same way as a 15-year-old white da'esh girl? 15-year-old white dutch girl who made a horrific mistake? so i think that is one thing. i think the stakes are high for the judgments of european muslims. at the same time, there has been a terrible shadow cast over civil society in europe. because so much of the kind of political activism or preoccupation or concerns, frustrations, grievances of the young people in europe that isis very much preyed upon our kind of seen now in the lens of counterterrorism. if you are a young person in high school in the u.k. and you start going to free palestine matches you will show up on counterterrorism police and maybe get a knock on your door. a lot of the state support for muslim women's ngos, these other issues are now under the umbrella of counterterrorism. it is as though fate has been securitized in the path of this. i think that is polarizing and o

to be here to visit the muslim. as he's affectionately known let the vietnamese nationalist movement for nearly 3 decades 1st fighting japanese in vegas then french colonialists forces and later u.s. troops in the vietnam war he died on september 2nd 1969 and did not live to see the end of the war nor the reunification of north and south vietnam. in a still very much revered in vietnam seen as the man who brought independence to the country but he is also viewed by some as the source of authoritarianism the communist party which he founded in 1913 still rules vietnam to this day but over the years the vietnamese communist party has slowly implemented reforms mostly economic the country's growth is almost parallel to china's a communist one party state that embraced market reforms and capitalism in the early $9090.00 s. that policy has led to boom times in vietnam its g.d.p. is forecast to increase around 6 and a half percent this year and next but along side economics. sets come new challenges because we have develo

hundreds of years of muslim rule they openly talk about teaching the muslims listen i'm afraid the prime minister modi belongs to this r.s.s. ideology when the good drug rights took place i believe in 2002 he was the chief minister for 3 days the daughter law that they are allowed the mobs of free reign to spread terror to kill thousands of muslims 100000 muslims were made homeless so my life this ideology will not just stop in kashmir i feel that. you know pakistan is a threat they will try to take the world's attention from what is happening in kashmir by diverting attention to pakistan by some sort of a false flag operation by that i mean. you know blame pakistan for some incident that might happen in kashmir and divert attention by like they did before in february their tact us when some took place in the kashmir they will do i fear they will do the same again india also says that what's happening in kashmir is an internal affair and and i guess and an argument that supports that is that one doesn't want international community continue gauged in conflicts elsewhere what would your r

if you're a young muslim woman living in the u.k. then this is the website for you at least that's what the creators want you to believe. this is a global media platform for young muslim ours in the east london and beyond to share and create inspiring and empowering content with positivity at its core inspiring but now it's been exposed after it was revealed that the site is being funded covertly by the u.k. home office in an attempt to tackle radicalization and now 2 employees have resigned over the controversial funding one of them says working believes. in my neighbors here so that through this opportunity our super assistance i really could help to make real change pushing forward a different narrative from muslim women themselves sure when though we are empowered and multifaceted are realized now there with the home office funding the project at the root there was no way i could do this regardless of the content i was pushing out while the project was set up in 2015 in direct response to 3 approaches schoolgirls including the ba

anti muslim. and if you read the accounts of the founding fathers they openly considered the muslims as who should have been. ethically cleansed from and they believed in the racial purity of hindu and the hindu civilisation could not reach its peak because of. hundreds of years of muslim rule they openly talk about dietrich the muslims listen i'm afraid the prime minister is that modi belongs to this r.s.s. ideology when the good draw the riots took place i believe in 2002 he was the chief minister for 3 days the daughter in law did they allowed the these mobs of free rein to spread terror to kill thousands of muslims 100000 muslims were well made homeless so my life that this ideology would not just stop and question. i feel that they were you know pakistan is a threat they will try to dig the world's attention from what is happening in kashmir by it diverting attention to pakistan by some sort of a false flag operation for by that i mean there were you know blame pakistan for some incident that

he's the muslim brotherhood. it's not. that strongly reputable of a group but you would rather have them in and so you see. there's any true i'd rather people not being praised to subject their citizens to industrial degrees of torture here and use them or send them out who was responsible as well as mr al sisi was responsible as human rights watch said in $23041.00 of the largest single day massacres in modern times in a city for which nobody has ever be. held responsible somewhere between 40800 people die. in it indiscriminately killing by egyptian forces pussy didn't do that . i think there would be a variance of opinion of believing that the muslim brotherhood been in power in egypt is better than c.c.p. in a tower no i do not claim and i don't think anybody in this administration with the c.c. is perfect or near perfect by any means you feet praise on him and i think that once with that there would be criticism and that there has been criticism that there will be criticism but there i also believe there are people try

why did you destroy the village, the muslim village that was here, to build this camp? "there are no villages where we built the camp." two years ago, at the height of the military campaign against the rohingyas, i was able to film a muslim neighbourhood called myo thu gyi, which had just been burnt. today, on exactly the same stretch of road, there's a newly constructed government complex instead. myo thu gyi has completely vanished. we were also shown a relocation camp where returning refugees are expected to live, closely monitored by the security forces. there is a large new police barracks close by. here, two satellite images show that a rohingya village was demolished to make way for it. well, this is perhaps the strangest part of this tightly controlled government trip. they've brought us to a village called inn din, which is notorious for a massacre of ten muslim men in september 2017, and for which two reuters journalists went to prison after investigating it. now, they've brought us here showing us scenes of ordinary life to stress that it is all peaceful and

almost one and a half 1000000 muslims now live in italy this makes them one a few ups largest muslim communities the majority have integrated well into italian society while at the same time maintaining their arab identity. and you know where you live and this is how i view the fact that we will tell you that things are severely. disabled you know we have voted for you we have. to see a new video which is exactly the right thing and i think. that it's where you have missed it is that you got on with us and with the band comes in and out and about for good luck with as we are told them and you ask me. how the minute i found them what i put on the way out of the wood and i know more would you want her and not a sign of that a hissing or a little bit funny as hell and the c. of the mother herself talked about that it was you know do you like it when you must tell love you will come to those who could not love me i don't see you with but that's good i'm out of the line not everything can satisfy but send us a little bit by that i'm good but bill. in 2016 for me out of the car that became
