the guy who's the guy is this middle east scholar he was a professor at columbia you're a good muslim bad muslim and you used the phrase others have one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter so like ben bernanke is a freedom fighter for america. these emerging market economies is a piece of financial current financial terror and which is where before we use that term to give you props where credit is the right yeah so anyway i think it's a funny thing about about been brought about ben bernanke and he's he's basically terrorizing the emerging market economies by generating all this liquidity buying up so many assets pumping so much money into the global economy these guys are running around the chinese central bank the brazilians are bike and they're printing money to soak up the dollars so you can keep their currencies at a competitive level so the this can buy their entire industry so let me ask you this do you think ben bernanke he just believes in his heart of hearts like do as i say not. i do and that's appropriate because for whatever reason or do you think he's really clueless

muslim or the bad muslims. this is once again not going to help anyone in the future. thank you. [applause] >> i enjoyed your talk very much. what i would like you to do is to talk more about bringing women into the running of things. because it seems to me that most of your religions, for instance, have nails in the lead role. -- males. it wasn't until 1920 that women got to vote in this country. so if you don't let them in, they just don't seem to have much influence. but if you do nothing and you get a different vision, from the mail. the males got a load of testosterone and and it's behind all the wars we've had. it's behind a lot of the troubles with that. it's a crime and stuf so if you put the women in come your going to get a different viewpoint. at like you to comment on it. >> i completely, i completely agree with your conclusion. i would be more cautious about the biological explanation. [laughter] but the serious point here is, is really about women being much more involved. and i completely agree with it. you know, we have to be series about this. we have to rely on facts and figures when it comes to, when he society is doing well. if you look at all the facts and figures when it comes to education, for example, when it comes to agriculture, when it comes to every dimension of making decisions. when you allow the women to be involved, they are doing better than them. the facts are you. it's an agriculture. it's an education. not only in muslim countries, not only in the global south. look at what is happening in the west. we have now women and muslim women being involved in education at the same level as men. those figures are clear. they are doing better than in an this is creating even problems within the muslim communities in the west because now they are more educated. so i would say that, and starting with this as a principle, it's very important to try to find a way to promote women. and i would say don't be misled by the supervision of what is happening in the muslim or turkey country. the uprising, women are very much instrumental in tahrir square, in tunisia. they were there. even in saudi arabia. even in petrol mortgage of women very much educated and being more and more visible. the point is to promote this through education and job opportunities, and to get them not as simple. be careful with simple set up betraying the radicals on the ground. i think this is where we have to come together. but what i would like

collection, you implied your opponent was a muslim and by implication you said it was not a good thing to be a muslim. why is it not -- is it bad being a muslim in america? >> i appreciate that question. i spent 50 months of my life doing everything i could to protect muslims in iraq. we to do everything we can to ensure that innocent muslims, christians, jews, anyone of any race and religion has an opportunity here in the world. one of my public radical islamists that women in the middle east are treated like garbage. we are treated as second-class citizens and it is not fair. this is an issue all of us -- can all agree on. this is something we can work on together. we can go on the attack, not in a military way but an intellectual way and take on this issue of women in the middle east being treated as second-class citizens. it is not ok for women in saudia -- saudi arabia to be stoned if they go out in public wearing blue jeans. it is not fair for a woman who is right to be prosecuted or thrown in jail. >> mr. brown, you have 30 seconds. >> we have seen this pattern of these kinds of campaigns from josh mandel. attack, attack. does not have

you implied that your opponent was a muslim, and by implication, you said it was not a good thing to be a muslim. why is it not good -- what isn't so bad to be a muslim in america? >> i appreciate that question. i spent 15 months of my life doing everything i could to protect muslims in iraq. i believe we need to do everything we can to make sure that innocent muslims, christians, jews, or anyone of any religion has protection in america and throughout the world. one of my main problem with radical islam is that women in the middle east are treated like garbage. in so many countries they are treated as second-class citizens, and it is not fair. this is an issue that all of us can agree on. this is something we can work on together. we can go on the attack, not in a military way, but in an intellectual way, and take on this issue of women in the middle east being treated as second-class citizens. it is not ok for women in saudi arabia to be stoned if they have the audacity to go out in public wearing blue jeans. womannot ok for the same in the middle east to be raped and then put in jail. i am working in a bipartisan way to put an end to issues like t

muslims want to reduce their religion to this, that's their business. but they cannot tell you in the united states, you know, what you should say about islam. because i can tell you many bad things about muslims say about other religions. but who cares in the end? one final thing. business, business -- [laughter] islamist business. [inaudible] that's why they are not revolutionary, they are conservative. they are extremely conservative. and that's the reason they scare me. but there is also another thing, and i have to agree with bill here. if you look at -- [inaudible] especially in this country in the late 1940s when he was horrified about what he saw in america as decadent, decadence, hedonism, weak spiritualism, and he said if there's a conflict between us and them, we will win because you are stronger. and let me even say something that many islamists don't like. when you listen and hear and read the rantings of usama bin laden, what to -- what do you see about the united states? deck -- decadence, materialism, no spiritual core. what do you see? you see echoes of -- [inaudible] yes, they want to do business, and we know that. but they have also a certain cultural views about the west in
