muslims, i think the four of us here are american muslims. that by itself is proof of the compatibility if we look at how american muslims have been well integrated, there has been a sense that you can be both fully muslim and fully american without having to choose. where in europe, i think it's been more complicated where there is attention sometimes between say being french and being muslim and you're sometimes asked to choose one over the other. to be more secular or less religious or less conservative. because we're a country that appreciates the religious expressions in public life and we don't see that as something bad to be fought, you can be christian, muslim or jewish and express that, that has been one of the important aspects of american identity. now for the first time, at least in recent memory, we have an administration that wants to challenge that basic idea and say you have to choose being american over being muslim. or if muslims express their religion or say anything positive about sharia, islam law or tradition. so if we ha

not done yet, but some of the recommendations how can we as american muslims and communities of faith chart a, you know, a progressive and way forward for american society. thank you. [applaus [applause] >> i want you to welcome sammy rangel and connie wright. sammy is author of life after hate, deals with victims who become perpetrators of hate and violence and he is involved in a documentary called healing from hate, angry white men and the rise of the alt-right. connie rice of the wroj that deals with racial justice and the legislative issue, a number of legislative issues and sought out by key policy makers including the obama administration, and putting together a paper on 21st century policing. our discussion revolves around the issue of race and nationalism. and i think that is the issue of our time. in other words, how race is creating or influencing conversations that put communities into a corner and that divides our country and makes it difficult to have honest conversations about national security, about civil rights, about pluralism. about the economy, even. so, i'm just

muslim americans have been lumped in with other degraded eds. but it's not a given there's the same issues they affect a young african-american man in the bronx and your family and community in brooklyn. so, where did that come from and then how did you use that the advent of that certain of connection you made when you really became a leader for racial justice in a very intersectionsal way in new york, to cross those bridges in the women's march context. >> guest: i started with flexing on my own life. i went to john j. high school in brooklyn and my school was at the time of the '90s -- a lot of gang activity in new york city, and my school wag where you walked in the morning and you were stopped and frisked. my school was 90% african-american, and those are my friends and people. so for me i thought that it how it was. i didn't understand this idea of the school to prison pipe'll and we had nypd officers walking the halls of the high school. there was never such thing at school safety officers. so i started reflecting after watching young peop

actor samuel ljackson says young muslim americans need to start telling their stories ino make films about their lives and experiences. do you see people doing that? is it happening? i do. i absolutely see people doing that and i'm one of the people who is doing that. and i think i have a real privilege as a muslim because as a muslim woman i am not what people picture when they think of a muslim woman, but i represent a lot of other muslim women. not every muslim woman chooses to cover. most muslim women are not being oppressed in america, where i live and where i grew up. so i think it's a great opportunity for me to have written a show with a muslim family as a centrepiece, where the father is devout, the mother is a doctor who doesn't believe in god, to show that muslims are again not a monolith. we are not all these one note screaming terrorists that we are depicted as on television, that muslim women do look like me, that you can be devout and have faith, and still live ioo% acclimated to the american lifestyle. i think right now they are trying to other us. so peop

i think over time, i have been engaged with the muslim-american communities for the past 11 years and my work. prior to 9/11 to me it was an invisible community. in fact when i was a young police officer in a mosque was built right site -- outside of usc we were told don't go anywhere near it. you are not allowed in there. there was this very mysterious -- so we were always saying wow we don't know what goes on in there. when i got into this business just like they did with any other community with a lgbtq community and the african-american community, the hispanic community. i didn't get put in counterterrorism because of my background. i got into counterterrorism because of my values for the community because i know their strength. terrorism in our country is i high consequence threat. we will continue to see it but look we need to prepare for earthquakes, for fires, for floods, for the physical environment of our communities and what he streets look like in cleaning up graffiti. those kinds of discussions are what we need to really protect. in the words of doctor here who i always l

will never work on any issue without looking at it through a racial justice standpoint even as a muslim american icon fro im a very diverse community, and a third are african-american. so for me i do not consider myself an ally in this work. when i march against stop in for a score against the killing of unarmed black people, i believe that i first and foremost march for my muslim brothers and sisters and by extension all that racial injustice for me i was like okay, immigration. black immigrants. when you think about reproductive rights was the most directly impacted, when you think about issues of equal pay, again the inequality among the women who are fighting for equal pay there needs to be a racial justice analysis to that as well. and i also realized he can't win them all. the undocumented folks are not going to win them all and we've got to bring them together. people thought we were crazy which is why we wanted to make it so visible and you wil in god more about it in the book. people said to us here we go again. it's not distracting at all we are intersectional human being. what don't w

to not be able to articulate at it is to be an american muslim. what that identity means and what value that brings to the best of our society. so i think over time i've been engaged with the muslim american communities for the past 11 years in my work. you know, prior to 9/11, to me, it was an invisible community. in fact, when i was a young police officer and the mosque was built right outside usc, we were told don't go anywhere near it. you're not allowed in there. there was just this very mysterious -- so we were always kind of saying, wow. i don't know what goes on in there but, you know, when i got into this business it was just like any other community with the lgbtq community, african-american community, hispanic community. put in , i didn't get counterterrorism because of my intelligence background but because of my ability to see the value of bringing communities together because i knew they were our strength. so the conversation needs to move beyond terrorism. look, terrorism in our country is still a low volume but high consequence thr

i was 20-years-old, here i was muslim american, never really thought about it. it was never something that was at the forefront of my mind, and then here comes a very tragic day i was walking home in brooklyn and seeing my local community closed down at the moment i didn't know what happened because there was no twitter at a time on facebook. there was no cell phone service. i realized what had happened and i went from being this ordinary girl in brooklyn. in a tragic event that killed millions and my fellow new yorkers by perspectives changed literally within a matter of minutes and i remembered a few weeks after 9/11 happened being at the mosque and people came crying saying someone came to my home and took my husband and i was like what do you mean this doesn't make sense to me but in fact it did happen. the communities i came from and loved and i was very radicalized at that moment. i said this is the right. why would they be to her rise to something. volunteering to find services for them and then eventually it had become my full-time to defend the communit

never work on any issue without looking at it through a racial justice standpoint, even as a muslim american, i come from a very diverse community, and a third of muslims are africas. so, for me, i don't consider myself also to be an ally in this work. for me as a muslim, when i march against stop and frisk of the killing of unarmed black people, i believe i march for my black muslim sisters and brothers and all black people in america. racial justice came in for me on everything. i was like, okay, immigration. who is left out of this conversation? black immigrants. when you think about reproductive rights. the most faked were black women. when you think about issues of equal pay, again, the inequality, even amongst the women who are fighting for equal pay, there needs be a racial justice analysis through that as well. and then i also realized and is a built very deep legalizationships with organizers here in new york city and then nationally, can't win alone, black people can't win alone. white people can't win alone. you're not focused hospital. are you going to fight for all these issues.

muslims." if you can talk about the atmosphere in this country over the last year. of course, i could not help noticing last night in the chamber as president trump spoke, many of the african-americanegislators, congress members, were wearing african cloth, whether it was scarves or boat types -- bowties, ties. ilhan omar, your response? rhetoric surrounding muslims and islam in this country has become a very dangerous one. and you sort of dehumanize people's ability to take a violent action against individuals because they don't agree with the god they play two or they don't, you know, where clothing that you might approve, it sends us down a path that becomes very dangerous for our a lot of young kids in .he schools and workplaces and just like i was, roaming around the streets in d.c., trying to do the work i was elected to do. you are faced with not only hate oft comes in the form verbally, but it gets very physical at times. and a lot of our communities are living in fear. it is the same thing with what is happening around the conversation with immigrants. are all of the lies that being told by the president and republicans, we are forgetting that immigrants in a light of our

african groups are on the blacklist and it includes the palestinian solidarity campaign and american muslims for palestine joyce an engineer is general secretarial the american friends service committee one of the group's all militias says israel's blacklist won't stop bryant's groups from carrying out their work. we find it amusing that you know israel feels threatened by nonviolent action and by organizations with which have embraced or you know speaking truth to power and on behalf of the oppressed and we're we're very resilient organ organizations i think i could speak on a festes behalf and others that are on the list. and we will find ways you know this is not going to press our voice and are working towards peace and justice all over the world on on account of those oppressed including palestinians are working on humanitarian. injustice on economic injustice has spanned decades and so in the united states if he's well regarded as an organization that is credible is does bold and courageous work stands for injustice regardless of who was affecting you know the organization has helped n

as i was writing the book, i actually instinctively did it on my own, i asked a muslim american friendscript to a friend of a friend in iran, and she sent her thoughts. i wanted to make sure it was authentic and accurate, my depictions of muslims and iranians. once i sold the book to harper, they also hired sensitivity readers to go through the book again. i think what is interesting is, for me, i didn't mind when harper said they wanted sensitivity readers to go over it again. if i think of it as accuracy readers, if i think about someone who has an experience that can look at my work and make sure i am being accurate and thoughtful about how i depict groups. that is fine with me. i think the biggest misperception is that the writers are forced to take every suggestion that the sensitivity reader makes. that wasn't the case for me. i just want to get... basically, you agreed the book with the sensitivity readers and the publisher, then was a lot of upset. the saviour of the book of the muslims was a white woman, and it was more her story than theirs? right, there were people that were

every person everywhere in the world whether you are a german, a jew, a german jew, a german muslim, an americaney have a holocaust museum in washington, why? because this is something we all need to think about. it is not a question of asking my grandchildren to take responsibility given that their great-grandfather was it you -- -- was a jew? every human being needs to crime isd that this something that must not happen again. which leads us up again to israel. if you are talking about israel not having the right to exist. which is precisely what the holocaust was about.t. we need to make this connection. there is a second problem. holocaustk about the as saying it must never happen again. it won't happen like that. it will be an iranian missile against tel aviv. ie synagogues will be burned arab's here in germany. it will happen in a different way. kristin: we have to disconnect israel.criticizing i know you are saying it is possible -- alan: we cannot disconnect it. israel is where the jews went when the germans kicked them out if they did not kill them. there is no way -- difficultt is very

white nationalist groups that have been attacking americans, african-americans, americans -- muslim americans. so there's no context to the president's words. to me, again, they reflect bias, they reflect ignorance, and they reflect dangerous rhetoric. they're trying to create a picture that does not give the fullness and the truth of the challenges we do have with security and safety in this country but also the importance to the success of our nation from having immigrants in our country. we're a nation built on immigrants. innovators, business folks, teachers, first responders, we are a nation that is profoundly enriched because of immigration. and to change those policies right now risk what made us great over the last generations. >> senator cory booker, thank you. >> thank you very much. >>> i'm joined now by republican congressman matt gaetz of florida. congressman, sarah huckabee sanders today not denying the president said what he apparently said by all the indications we have. do you understand why the statement he said in that oval office is viewed as so offensive and hurtful by so

for example, with muslim americans. they don't want this to happen again to anybody.s why the history is important. i like 0 people to understand that again, this is something that is not that far along far away. it happened 75 years ago but in the span of a history it's not that long ago. so when people say could ever happen again, again we have to understand it did happen. not that long ago and it could happen again. so that's one of the main reasons we're doing this exhibition. >> this weekend, c-span cities tour takes to you springfield, missouri, while in springfield, we're working with media come to explore the literary scene and history of the birth place of route 66 in southwestern missouri. saturday at noon eastern on book tv, author jeremy neely talks about the conflict occurring along the kansas/missouri board offer in the struggle over slavery in his book "the border between them." >> in 1858 sxwraun brown having left kansas comes back to the territory and he begins a series of raids into western missouri during which his men will liberate enslaved people
