world of cambridge. the of the one at georgetown, cities are muslim women, american, british, whatever, but they are still living in their own traditions and comfortably adjusting to the world. now the danger is conceptually if you remember the center the average reader who knows little about islam and has so much controversy and debate and discussion particularly in the united states the danger is that they may think that is only their offer that the muslim women are either completely extremist and want to block the west and kill people and so on and on the other hand, they want to reject islam, said you think that there is a danger of an effect pushing the reader into that trap on the intellectual trap of missing out the main street or the central? >> guest: i don't think so because i talk about that in the book as you know that one of the frustrations that muslim women have have had over the last decade is that women like ayaan hirisi ali and aafia siddiqui have crowded out their voices coming and that was -- i quoted a number of women and putting for a simple the nobel laureate talking about ayaan and

under islamic law, the muslim world sees barack obama as a muslim, as a son of islam. that's just the way it works. that's the way they see him. but of course, he says he didn't grow up that way. he didn't believe in that. he believes in jesus christ. i accept that. but the muslim world, the muslim world, islam, they see him as a son of islam. >> be you do not believe he's a muslim? >> no >> categorically not a muslim? >> i can't say categorically. >> this is where it gets to me, alex, my colleague. what this guy is planning is that same old seed that it the right wing has been planting about our president, and he is our president, from the first time he emerged as a a national figure. that he's foreign, that he's exotic, not one of us, that he's not patriotic, he's loyal to other people. he went on to say he's backing the muslim world against the christians, even though he's killing bin laden and doubling the number of troops in afghanistan and all that good stuff, working with the special forces. no matter what this man does for this country, they still want to write

the muslim world is asking how did it get to be the muslim world? we talk about mesopotamia as the cradle of civilization but this civilization it was the cradle of -- is now a muslim country. we talk in our own time about egypt. when the kingdom of egypt was founded in 1922, the second finance minister was a jew. it is inconceivable. all the jews have left egypt now. it would be inconceivable for a jew to be finance minister in egypt. when you study the history of muslim expansionism in its first centuries from spain to india, in more recent times you understand that this is a religion but is also an imperialists project in a way that christianity was not. if you look at the differences between christ's final message to his disciples and mohammad, muhammed basically says go around the world and make them submit to islam by conquest. christ says taken around the world and preach to them and convert them which is what happened. there's a fundamental difference, most universalist religions that islam takes an entirely different view in the temporal wor
