of the muslim american community from national origin, there's sunni, shiite, american muslims?k about the social economic side. what would you tell people who have no idea what it looks like? what would you tell them? >> i think it is important, i'll start us off and then dan can jump in with his expertise. there are about 1.622.1 million muslims -- billion in the world globally. that means the second largest religious group after christianity and the fastest growing religion in the world today. the muslim population is projected to grow by 35% in the next 20 years this is a population at least globally is going to be rising quite a bit. in the united states, the best record we have of the u.s. muslim population is in the research center. they invest millions of dollars every few years to run a national sample using a telephone were essentially a tile random digits and try to find a muslim household and that's how they estimate the muslim population because you can't do so otherwise. there is no religion category in the senses on top of that, the category that we might used to

we put all those words together andut the public's hearing muslim, muslim in america, muslims abroad, terror, not us, them, violence, evil, when they hear all of this together they are going to start to think that all of these different groups arehi linked. not everyone is listening as carefully. and lobo becomes the patriot act or thing in section 102 also warns the public to not conflate south asians, muslim americans with tears in like the government itself cannot decide which group here waiting to care about. but for all of them they are not terrorists agosto provide wide spread powers, wiretapping powers. definite gag orders. you have all these things that are happening in unison. and thend you have a bush era or i amhe sorry, the obama era. 2004 opposite the muslim community did not vote for bush. despite at some time there being over 90% approval behind him. >> all those initiatives are pretty bipartisan too. >> they were. exactly, exactly per they really were. echoes to question how much representation with this group feeling? seeing the acknowledgments in my book, what i obse

then muslim americans. so when the group is referred to as a muslim american being in the united states and i have different searchterms to look for the different groups . and i put together what's called a corpus of text. from there what i'm trying to do is assess two things. one, what is the volume of coverage of each of these groups over time? and 2, what is the sentiment of coverage of these groups over time? there's two inquiries here. how much information are we getting about these groups on these different platforms over time and when we are receiving news about them, is it positive or negative? what i find is the -- when you look at the proportion of coverage dedicated to these two groups i find in the post-9/11 era and in the 2016 presidential campaign year, the foreign muslim group appeared in a large proportion of news coverage across cnn and fox and msnbc. on cnn and fox it was about 30 percent of news coverage and on msnbc it rose to 40 percent and when you look at the sentiment of coverage whi

non muslims. you get more to do away with a literal reading of the text. in the lift you need to sit in demand. it's an approach that usually leads to great interest in the spirit of sin rather than in the literal meaning that the nearly all of the koran. 114 series contain a lot of ambiguity. ah, so we ask question, how do we know we know? how do we know if this interpretation is actually an interpretation of what god had in mind? how do we know if this is a source of authority? why this male scholars through the centuries had more authority than a woman today living in one context for understand this text for her own experience from a woman's perspective, tenicia is the most liberal muslim country in the region. even so reforms are needed. islamic scholar also use of has written extensively on issues like inheritance, low polygamy and homosexuality as they relate to the koran. uses compares the interpretations of males scholars from the middle ages to those of today and critiques their positions

they believe a lot of thing so do muslims and our job is to look in this case as muslim what do they understand jihad to mean and a variety of ways that can be interpret. the original question was referring the hadif. and jihad is the inner struggle and some ways that muslim interprets it, jihad in terms of that. but i think the fundamental question is how do muslim themselves and close to 2 billion people me world understanding this concept. one thing to keep in mind, i'll finally say on this point, the islamic state or al qaeda has a certain extreme interpretation of jihad. it's fascinating we should not forget is that people on the far right in europe and the united states are invested in that same understanding of jihad. and we need to understand why nat might be and what benefit comes from interpreting the concept in that way as opposed the nuances sara has pointed out inmer book and this talk today. >> to tag on to that point as an addendum. that weaponization of very specific understanding of jihad but also the weaponization of islam phone -- islamophobia which is weapon night

i do believe the work we do helps muslims and also nor muslims to do away with literally nothing of the text. you hear at least the text says it's an approach that usually leads to greater interest in the spirit of the text. rather than in the literal meaning. that. nearly all of the qur'an 114 suras contain a lot of ambiguity. so we ask question how do we know what we know how do we know if this interpretation is actually an interpretation of what god had in mind how do we know if this is a source of authority why these males close through the centuries had more authority than a woman today living in one context were understand the stakes for her own experience from a woman's perspective tunisia is the most liberal muslim country in the region even so reforms are needed islamic scholar of yusef has written extensively on issues like inheritance law polygamy and homosexuality as they relate to the qur'an use of compares the interpretations of male scholars from the middle ages to those of today and critiques their positions because of past she's been threatened by islamists. alone. to a
