they want to drive the wedge between the west and the muslim world. >> have you address this concern to donald trump. >> i have not talked with him. >> what would you say to him. >> anybody who promotes that type of characterization of the problem and mischaracterization in my mind, i would try to describe how those comments are being interpreted and how they are feeding this narrative that the terrorist organizations are propagating. it does not help to arrest this cancer that has taken over so many of the communities because a lot of the underlying conditions that exist within the middle east, africa, southeast asia and other areas, political distant fright franchise may, lack of opportunity, opportunity, these tourist organizations and this perverted version of a religion prey upon the hopelessness. by making comments that are incendiary and are viewed as attacking a religion or a people or community, it only further drives those individuals to grasp onto those extremist views. they interpret a lot of comments that were made as the west in the united states are out against them. w

carla: i think it is really dangerous to talk about the muslim world at large. i am highly skeptical the minute anybody says islam says or muslims do. to say that about 1.6 billion people who range from tribesmen to anesthetists in kansas, how do you bridge that? what is interested about the sheikh is his conservativism. he is absolutely steeped in the classical text, in a classical tradition, but has allowed him -- it is his knowledge of the text has allowed him, in some cases, to find, you know, very liberating solutions for women. in other cases, not at all. one of the most profound lessons i learned is there is no spectrum in islam. i mean, in the first couple of months, i sort of ran around trying to figure out, what kind of sheikh and my studying with? is he a moderate? is he a conservative? is he a fundamentalist? is he a wahhabi? here he is, really liberal on women. at the same time, he is convinced i'm going to hell. here he is on the canon on what it means to be an islamic scholar. he will not tolerate homosexuality. i went to see a cambridge university

reaction of the mayor can people was that for decades there had been this list of grievances in the muslim world about the united states, that it supports dictators, that it brings violence to the muslim worldld, that it renders the wishes of powerless and irrelevant, that it steadfastly supports israeli aggression, a whole litany of grievances that if you pay attention to the discourse of the muslim world or you would be familiar with. after 9/11, the reaction of the majority of americans, which was quite genuine, was bafflement. it was, i don't understand why anyone would possibly want to attack the united states. wewe are such a peaceful nation. all we want t do is go about livingng our lives with freedom and liberty, yet people seem to really hate us and it's impossible to understand why. the question that was asked of the mirkin people was -- of the american people was the famous "why do they hate us" question, and the u.s. government needed to provide an answer bececause people wanted to know why they were attacked. the answer was, they hate us for our freedom. what's remarkable aboutut th

muslim community. if we want hope of repairing this world we have to stop bashing muslims and if we have a president that is on record as mb that me lines muslims we're in a world of hurt. >> why didn't we see this emerge in the 2008 election, 2012? even 2004 which was the election right after 2001, the attack. it was never like this. in terms of trying to identify all muslims as terrorists and so forth. >> part of it has to do, if we're all being honest, with the fact that you have donald trump saying he at one point wanted to ban all muslims now. muslims that are born in foreign territory and the idea is now thinking about banning countries that maybe are like of muslim descent even though countries aren't of muslim descent but this idea that you have a presidential candidate talking like this and it's resinating with his supporters. when i'm on the trail talking to people they're echoing back what donald trump is saying in the ralliesful these are our enemies and part of that they're saying these other people, they're identifying this race and this one religion and saying these people are the problem

this was the muslim world at the height of his power. i think what he is trying to show is the caliphate for this incredibly heterogeneous quality, but there's no one caliphate. people cerda the idea of when a quality was led purely by worship of god. of course like any political structure is much more complicated. they were callous or were deeply spiritual and deeply warlike. you can find a justification for almost anything. so i think this is a necessary corrective to this kind of rhetoric of the caliphate to be pure better time. >> host: one where book you have coming up? just go there's another book by a law professor criminologist and start edition which was about why we struggle so much in america with mass incarceration of how everything you think you know is wrong. don't about the war on drugs or private prison. at the root prosecutors in criminal justice. a lot of people haven't acknowledged the major factor behind these high levels of imprisonment in the united states. one of the things that is fascinating about the book is a s

with and deal with as the president said after one of the attacks, this is just a war within the muslim worldualties are collateral damage. no! the majority of people do not accept that. we need to re-engage in the world. we cannot continue these policies. if we do, we will have another major attack here. that's a large part of the reason donald trump is still in this race. >> annmarie, i have to give you a chance to quickly defend the honor of the obama administration for which you worked. >> i don't think iraq cuz stable when president obama took over. president bush negotiated a withdrawal and president obama continued it. i do think that the invasion of iraq was a massive foreign policy blunder. let's talk about whether we are safer now. there have been 350 attacks since 9/11 in the united states. 12 have been lethal. only 94 people have died compared to 3,000 on that day. we are much, much safer from the kind of 9/11 style attack. they have tried, they have been stopped. the danger now is exactly as tom friedman said, isis is a virus, right? it spreads from the fragmentation and radicali

notes, i was like, "you know, oftentimes people in this country think of the arab world, and the muslim world, as a world that kind of pushes conformity." and you're an absolute nonconformist in so many ways. >> what we're seeing in the arab world today that is very exciting is not only that, for a variety of reasons, economic, political, and social, are the traditional centralized state power centers being diffused through different groups in society, but more importantly, we're seeing a self assertion of the youth. we're seeing a whole new dynamic take place-- and i'm getting now to the question you asked me-- and it is about thinking outside the box. we're seeing youth empowered through technology and through changes that are taking place in society, and through sheer numbers. we have a youth bulge. it's doubled in the past 30 years, and our youth are 65 or more percent of our populations, on average. and those youth are not... they are not... while they... they're living in multiple sort of... their identities are part... are expressing themselves in a multiplicity of ways, both... there

muslim. you know, whenever a terrorist attack takes place, the world expects muslims to speak out. but when we do, we are called stealth jihadists or those indulging in -- seriously. is that as good as you can get? the point is there are 1.6 billion muslims in the world. you can't deport or incarcerate them or millions in north america. i think the only choice we have, or you have, is to work with those who are speaking out. you know, a friend of act for america lives here in washington, brilliant writer and speaker. used to be a radical has now converted. he said, and i quote, "attacking all muslims or disrespecting all of them without being able to distinguish between those who want to implement violence, sharia principles and those who want to understand and practice their religion in a peaceful way is a mistake that could push the world towards a violent zerosome clash of civilizations." while it certainly is fair to attack violent and discriminatory sharia principles. it's important to recognize and support true liberal muslims who are putting their own lives at risk in the fi

there is no question that barack obama is sympathetic to the peaceful muslim world. 's not a bad thing. we need allies like jordan, egypt and morocco. those countries help us and we should not alienate them. any rational muslim is not going to take offense at the words islamic terrorism why? because that would be irrational while visiting france this summer i saw firsthand how the french supreme generally turned against all muslims. you can hear and feel the bitterness over the isis attacks also because of mass muslim immigration into france. some of that bitterness is not rationale and could be mitt dated if the french muslim population would outwardly condemn the jihad. that has not happened to any meaningful extent. all over the world many muslims stay silent. president obama's primary obligation is to protect the american people. a strong argument can be made that he has not, not done that effectively. the enemy needs to be defined, mr. president. and if some people get their feelings hundred then that's too bad. the second thing that caught my attention in the to

they can do >>> right now thousands of pill grams are in meshing ec arc today as muslims around the world mark the end of -- thousands as we said were there as the muslims round the world marked the end. it was one of the world largest. it included 5 intense days of rate walls and prayers hundreds died last year were trampled. >>> hillary clinton's health is now a much bigger issue on the campaign trail. mrs. clinton is calling off her planned fundraiser in california today and tomorrow. this after she got overheated at the 9/11 memorial in new york city on her doctor said she got overheated and dehydrated 2 days after being diagnosed with pneumonia. her doctors orders are to get some rest are. >>> donald trump has questioned her health and stamina many times after she fainted and got a concussion back in 2012. while her doctor has said that overall she in excellent health not many specifics are known about donald trump's health history. recent diagnoses trump has not commented or tweeted about her health. >> after a pretty warm weekend things will be cooling down nicely. >> yeah, they ar

this book, we talk about the idea of the 21st century alliance and some of the leaders in the muslim world. back to your question about russia, russia have to understand and they know this. they have a big problem with this element as we describe in this book as we do. it's actually sort of closest to the sled. they are on the sled and it's really close. pakistan, chechnya and other republics and problems that they are having their. this funny alliance between russia and iran, we have to understand why. when people say why should we deal with russia? we just dealt with russia on an iranian nuclear deal. i asked why on that. what i tell you is we have to be tough, we have to be demanding, we have to be very precise and we have to acknowledge there are times in our own history, and certainly going forward where we have to pick and choose certain things that we are going to do with others around the world >> >> does a gradual publication of power. is seen as to leave for some time we have tried to apply power gradually and really looked at it in the military sense instead of the psychological

money where their mouth is was a problem, rising religious fundamentalism, particularly in the muslim world, but also in israel a big problem. all of these things were surmountable separately but together i think it created a situation in which. and by the way the obama administration made some serious mistakes early on in the way it managed this problem, both on the israeli side and the palestinian side. - avoidable mistakes? - well yeah, mistakes born of inexperience and not listening to all, remember there's 30 years of people who made mistakes. so you know, one of the first things you think you would do if you're trying to go make middle east peace is go to all the people who tried, from henry kissinger up and say, so why didn't it work? - what would you have done differently? - what would you have done differently? and here's what i think i wanna do and tell me if i'm write or tell me if i'm wrong. but they came in, you know any new president comes in gang busters, right, and they're like we're gonna do the opposite of what bush did. i mean that was their, like he did this we're gonna

anywhere you go in the muslim world it seems, no matter what, you feed your guests, you do your best have to eat. maybe we should. [ speaks arabic ] >> you are supposed to eat this with your hands. mmm, very good. [ speaks arabic ] >> he's saying if you eat this you shouldn't have another meal for 3 days. >> anthony: where do this dish come from originally? >> this is a dish that's native to southern gaza, the sinai, the uh-sort of the desert bedouin areas. >> all the food i have had so far in gaza has been very different than in anything else i've had in the arab world. it's a different flavor spectrum. >> yeah. totally. it is kind of its own little gastronomical bubble. >> elder man 3: why are you not using a spoon? >> you know, i find that the food has more flavor, i get a better sensory experience. [ speaks arabic ] even children like to eat with their hands. [ speaks arabic ] >> he's saying god gave us hands to eat with, not spoons. [ laughs ] hey! nikki! what are you doing here? you tell me, stephen. what? i'm snapping. you've been streaming my videos all morning. now you're wi

. >> this is the third major event in the muslim world in the last 24 hours.tehran this morning, millions of people are shouting "death to the shah, death to carter." that is followed by the cry "god is great." >> these groups are very hard to dissuade. these people believe that god is on their side. that is a very powerful form of delusion. >> by the end of the year, it was clear that the united states was so ill prepared and failed to recognize the extraordinary change that had happened in the '70s. >> new year's eve, end of the decade but not yet of the deadlock. >> in 1979, we take a deep breath and realize we're on the precipice of an entirely new era of terrorism. >> the islamic world is in crisis, and the crisis goes well beyond the u.s. embassy walls in tehran. >> rather than catching our breath, we should have been thinking, how can this get worse? >> it sounds like the most futile observation possible, but i'm going to make it anyhow. we have to find a way to stop terrorism. it is growing at a scary rate. terror is a new form of warfare, and history

trump has talked several times about supporting those people in the muslim world who come out and speak out against terrorism and extremism. he mentioned sisi by name. it's significant for trump to look at a future world leader. sisi would be the centerpiece of an anti-terrorist strategy. and it's smart of sisi, too. the obama administration insisted on muslim brotherhood participation in the new government he created. a strange moment. now there are strained relations between egypt and the united states because president sisi would not do what president obama wants him to do. he seems to have that trouble with foreign leader. >> i met sisi right after the so-called coup. i do think it's curious he's meeting with both secretary clinton and donald trump. lou: kt mcfarland. great to have you here. there is much more straight ahead. stay with us. terrorism in this country has risen dramatically under president obama. donald trump says our failing leaders invited the threat. >> obama and clinton have toppled regimes, displaced millions of people, then opened the door to isis to enter our co

saying we'll work with our allies and our friends in the muslim world. y, that's been the policy for 15 years now, and that's been a bipartisan policy. i would also point out that on a lot of issues, you have democrats and republicans, more or less agreeing on drone strikes, on a whole host of issues that would have been controversial pre9/11. that have now become standard operating procedure. on the areas of difference i haven't heard anything hillary clinton has offered on counter terrorism that is not straight up 101 boilerplate from the last decade or so. so there's no new ideas. if you think we're being hit too often and hit too hard, she doesn't give you anything other than we'll try harder. there will be an intelligence surge. on trump's side, yeah, i said the muslim ban was a terrible idea, he walked away from that. he shouldn't be saying we should do torture or enhanced interrogation. i disagree with him on that front. there's some places i think he goes astray. temperamentally speaking, he seems more angry about the terrorists and hillary seems

obama had when he went to the arab world in 2009 to when he gave his famous speech in cairo to the muslim world. they shared a vision. >> we expect president obama shortly. you see the son of the late president shimon peres shaking hands with former president bill clinton, expressing his condolences to other people who have come to the funeral of shimon peres. >> as expected it is very emotional. we see the president approaching the podium. he's being introduced. let's listen. the president is going to be speaking. [ speaking hebrew ] >> generations of the peres family, president rivalin, prime minister benjamin netanyahu, members of the israeli government, heads of state, and government and guests from around the world including president abbas whose presence here is a gesture and a reminder of the unfinished business of peace, to the people of israel, i could not be more honored to be in jerusalem to say farewell to my friend shimon peres who showed us that justice and hope are at the heart of the zionist idea. a free life in a homeland regained. a secure life in a nation that can defend itse

. >> let me talk about the national security interests in the broader muslim world.e have had this conversation in the past and you have essentially argued that we cannot win the war against radical islamic extremism without muslims. i have talked to a lot of people in the intelligence community who have argued that donald trump hurts the national security interests. do you agree? is this a hindrance to carrying out your work? that sayand comments the religion is the source of to problem is detrimental our interests and understanding this. i have met with presidents and prime ministers and they are outraged that the muslim community has been ineffective by this cancer. these individuals have a distorted and perverted presentation of islam and they pursue these psychopathic agendas. they recognize they have a leading role to purge their communities of these influences. driven byviduals are this ideology that is not rooted in islam. psychopathic and absolutist. you are either with us or against us. the caliphate wants to -- samuel huntington referred to this as a clash

let me talk about the national security interests not only in saudi arabia, but in the broader muslim world. you and i have had this conversation in the past, where you have essentially argued that we cannot win the war against radical islamic extremism , jihadism, whatever you want to call it, without the help of muslims. i have talked to a lot of people in the intelligence community who argue that the way that donald trump, among other people, talk about islam, talk about muslims, actually hurts our national security interests. , widening thehat optic, talking about banning islam, talking about banning muslims -- is this a hindrance to carrying out your work? mr. brennan: words and comments that taint the religion as being the source of the problem i think is detrimental to our interests and understanding this phenomenon. with princes, presidents, and prime minister throughout the middle east. they are outraged that their community, the muslim community, has been infected by this cancer, individuals that have a distorted and perverted interpretation of islam and pursue these psychopathic

we must reach out to the muslim world in a much different way.f leaders in the muslim world, they are scared. they are afraid and they know that they have a problem. >> general, we've got -- for folks who are tuning in, the fbi has released an image of a 28-year-old suspect who is wanted in connection. it is on the left side of your screen. his name is ahmad khan ramahi. he does relate to the address on the right side of the home. it's link to a person with a similar name. it looks like he's the guy they are looking for. they have gone to his house -- >> do we know which bombing he's connected to? >> we don't. they can be the same. >> so general, i'm very curious to see -- is we remember what happened until texas, when those guys showed up to take down the draw mohammed situation. they leave from phoenix and they get gunned down by security. i'm scurs if he's on anybody's radar. i'm curious if we were tracking him to begin with and trying to find out -- were we just lucky 7 1/2 years ago and have we changed our tactics now because the number of t

and a pressure cooker bomb, that is ubiquitous in the muslim world, certainly american soldiers haven into these pot iuds all over the place. even though he had good weapons systems, he could have gone one block to the east and attacked the flatiron building triangle there at the 23rd street metro or madison square park. all of these things, the trade craft that the bomber demonstrated. and then, no suicide, no martyrdom. all the hallmarks of jihadist terrorism were not checked in this operation, which led us to believe it was more of an amateur that had a little bit of skill. >> over to juan serate, to our viewers, these are both lovely men in a scary line of work. juan, public officials have been saying, this guy acted alone. i've heard two reviews, as i said, number one, that he was quite skilled in these explosives. he covered a lot of ground. while it didn't all succeed, thankfully, he had some skill. number two, i've heard people call him flat-out incompetent amateur. what do you just of all of it? >> brian, i think it's a combination of both, actually. he was able to be danger

thousands of pilgrims circled the kaaba in the saudi city of mecca today as muslims around the world began marking the holiday of eid al-adha. eid al-adha means "the feast of the sacrifice" and is one of the two most important holidays in the musl calendar. it marks the end of hajj, one of the world's this weekend.... the new movie about the so-called 'miracle on the hudson' topped the weekend box office. 'sully' brought in nearly 36- million dollars. jay taylor - among those who went to the movies this weekend to watch it...//how //how was it?// tom hanks ?? traffic ?? for month's her campaign has been almost on autopilot...now questions about hillary clinton's health threaten to derail the clinton train. nfl players...get patriotic during yeterday's kickoff weekend.we're looking at some of the ways they did it... that's at 5:35. ####break########break#### we got confirmation overnight that hillary clinton will not attend fundraisers in california today and tomorrow. they've been canceled after she got overheated at the 9-11 memorial sunday. we later learned she's battling pneumonia

you are the first leader of the muslim world that's met with donald trump.ous arab country. such a crucial country. what was your impression of donald trump? do you think he would make a strong lead er. >> translator: no doubt. >> one of the things about meeting with donald trump is he's said he will ban muslims from entering the united states. this week he talked specifically about extreme vetting and said he won't allow muslims to come to the united states who are aren't capable of carrying out that vetting. did you talk about his plan? >> translator: the united states in general conducts very strict security many measures for everyone who wishes to visit it. this has within in place for quite a few years. also important to know that during election campaigns many things are said. however. after words, the actual governing of the country would be something different and subject to many factors. >> it sounds like you think donald trump is saying what he needs to say to be e lekked but he might not follow through with the plan. >> i i don't want to be unfair

we have to find a way to work with our friends in the muslim world. both at home and abroad to confront this ideology and turn it back. yes, i think we have to continue the military aspect of it as well. if there are specific groups plotting out. what's our strategy for rendering the ideology neutral? ultimately that's what won the cold war for us. we proved that communism was a failed ideology. not only did the soviet union collapse, a couple of isolated places in the world, communism collapsed. before we were successful the ideology that al qaeda and others have advanced is what we're going to have to defeat and ultimately going to have to collapse. i don't personally have any easy answers for that. i look forward to hearing more about how we can approach that. and with that i yield back. thank you, mr. chairman. >> let me welcome each of of our witnesses. we appreciate you all being with us and the insights you deliver. pleased to welcome honorable james jeffrey, ambassador to turkey and iraq. and senator adviser to president on of iran on these to

by reaching out to the muslim world, which the president almost has not done. and beginning to's late the radical islamic muslims, not have them isolate the united states of america. i know i can do a better job in iraq, i have a plan to have a summit with all the allies, something this president has not yet achieved, not yet been able to do to bring people to the table. we can do a better job of training the iraqi forces to defend themselves an i know we can do a better job of preparing for leches. all these and especially homeland security, which we'll talk about later. host: mr. president, you have 90 seconds to respond. president bush: i too, thank the university of miami and say our prayers are with the good people of this state who have suffered a lot. september 11 changed how america must look at the world. and since that day, our nation has been on a multipronged strategy to keep our country safer. alpursued al qaeda, wherever qaeda tries to hide. 70% of known al qaeda leaders have been brought to justice this erest of them know we're after them. we've

to the extent we're talking about terrorists from the muslim world, which we mostly are, i think there's something to think about islam itself. i think the professor mentioned it. the islamic world has not undergone a reformation. point one. point two, i'm a roman catholic. one of the strengths of the catholic church is the majestyian and that's lacking in islam, in sunni islam. one of the things that's required is to think of the reformation of islam. i'm sorry that a colleague of ours has left that is a libraryian. we are having a conference in seville at the end of september in which we'll talk about the role of intellect in islam. meaning which is one of the sources of reform if it can be combined with communal consensus. i think that's awfully important. one of the things that comes from the panels in one way you can be overwhelmed, you learn so much. on the other hand, if you're a general gray, you have to fight back and you have to win. i think that's true. of course the win here is much more subtle than the usual win. but again, i think you've extracted the best out of many of th

lot of anti-american sentiment, expressing outrage over what america was doing in parts of the muslim world, saying that they were being slaughtered as a result of american policies. so there is now at least a tangible piece of evidence that shows his own ideological support, his own sympathies to terrorists groups. so prosecutors can make a link that they now have at least an ideological not itch by the actual suspect's own handwriting in that journal they found on his body. >> his wife not in this country but is speaking to authorities. any idea what she's telling them and where is she? >> well, we know a very specific detail. she said she had no knowledge of this incident before it took place. she's now in the united arab emirates. both uae officials and the fbi con firmed she is in custody there, being questioned. the fbi now is saying they are at least aware that she had nothing to do with this. she's probably going to be allowed to continue her travel to pakistan. but that's not been confirmed by uae officials who say they're still holding her there still for questioning. a federal la

he became president before the arab spring about the way we would reset our relations with the muslim world and that we would try to kind of reframe the way the u.s. projected its influence in the middle east. by getting out of iraq and trying to build up -- it was very hard. really the bottom chopped out from under us when the arab spring happened. it's sort the challenge for us is we have to understand that in the two other regions that matter most to the united states in terms of our future -- in europe, asia -- we are also seeing historic changes occur. if you go to each region, the answer all of our partners are asking for is more of the united states. we have to continue to be engaged in all three regions, and we have close partners and three allies in all those regions. we cannot by definition meet all of their wishes equally, and that triage is something we struggled with an government and the next administration will struggle with as well. >> the last question was on iraq and why is it that this parcel of land has been such a statesge to the united not the : that's a great question

. >>> thousands of pilgrims today as muslims around the world mark the holiday meaning the feast of the sacrifice. it's one of the two most important holidays in the muslim calendar marking the end of the world's largest pilgrimages that draws the faithful to the holy city of mecca and areas around it for five intense days of rituals and prayers aimed at erasing past sins and drawing muslims closer to god. >>> big name movie stars are speaking out refugees this morning. it's titled, "what they took with them" and is inspired by real refugees' accounts. if you had to flee your home what would you take? cate blanchett and other actors rattled off a few items that they often take with them such as phones, food, water, money, party -- yes, it goes horribly wrong. >> as many as 30 students injured after decks collapsed. police aren't surprised something like this was coming all along. >>> tampa's first cannabis clinic open for business? we'll take you there and tell you why the doctor believes it could provide an alternative to traditional drugs. you're watching news channel 8 . >>> the fire

look around the world and there are dozens of places built on the quaran they are not pleasant for women or religious minorities or homosexuals. there not even pleasant places for muslimsa minority creed in a country that has the majority of a different type. is it a coincidence that seven out of the top-10 abusers of human rights in the world are islamic countries? that is an odd thing to happen if there wasn't a relationship but the fact that they are islamic countries. if you are a muslim pdf flu dash getting ready to be born there is no greater blessing you could experience and to be born to a muslim mother living in the west of judeo-christian civilization the chances for a decent life practicing your religion without fear of being blown up to have all the full rights and dignity afforded to as the human being are much crater if you were born in the heartland of america and endow heartland of islam. [applause] donald trump has been crucified because a number of months ago he said we should have limits to muslim immigration and it took 10 minutes for a the press and republican leaders to run to microphone to say that is not who we are or our values. they are wrong.

mayor khan: there are millions of muslims around the world who love america and want to study, invest, go on holiday. there are proud americans and proud muslims. the message you are sending inadvertently or intentionally, are western values and muslim are not compatible. you are in a virtually playing into the hands of so-called isis or daesh because they are saying the same thing. it is possible to the western -- be a stern and a muslim -- be western and a muslim. with't want a bust-up donald trump, but you are standing to be the most powerful person in the world, the president of the usa. the rest of the world looks with admiration of the country, and running for office brings responsibility. i don't want to get involved in u.s. elections but i cannot but respond to an invitation where i'm the exception to a rule that i think is unfair. katty: maybe donald trump is just reflecting what people think. votersrepublican primary in some states supported the ban on muslims. that is what the american public is telling him what they want. mayor khan: one of the roles of a politician in an

and also reminded his fellow muslims that fighting isis requires the muslim world to work together. it will be, as he sees it, a generational long-term ideological fight, equivalent of a third world war. these are big words. you might also think about a different concept here. that's the idea of reform or reformation that we in europe went through 500 years ago. it's true, the consequences of this grand design of islamic power that isis presents are huge. and luge. isis is determined to achieve it's goal of establishing global islamic order with all possible means of warfare and conquest. yet we want to make sure not to lend credence in support to the simplistic and apocalyptic world view of isis. great britain's counterterroism policy is a good example of what not to do. respond in kind with brutality because that's precisely what isis wants. make us hate islam so that isis can pose as the protector of muslims and count on pulling muslims into their twisted ideology. now, isis does not shy back from committing the most brutal atrocities against other muslims, not willing to follow

the muslim world has to come to grips with it. b world, people like the president out of egypt is one. we should embrace the kind of speeches he's been gichg and the actions he's been taking against organizations like the muslim brotherhood. we have a problem, when the leaders get together, like they're going to starting today, tomorrow, tuesday through wednesday, they have got to have the guts to speak up about this. >> right. >> our leadership has to have the guts to speak up about this. we're at a place now where it's not about what is happening, it's why it's happening and then we have to get after this problem. >> you took an al sisi speech and you'd be denounced by the obama folks. trump has taken a lot of heat about his remarks about refugees. do you think the fate of terror attacks like in minnesota over the past couple of years vindicate his position? >> i think that we have to take a real hard look at where are the refugees coming from, how are they coming into the country, who is paying attention to them. how are they as

during his trial, he urged muslims around the world not to commit acts similar to those he committed.> to the u.s. and hours after their first face-to-face showdown of the presidential debate season, hillary clinton and donald trump are back out on the campaign trail this tuesday. both republicans and democrats have cried victory following the debates which were watched by more than 18 million tv viewers. trump has vowed to hit that harder in st. louis on october 9. more on the reaction on the streets of the u.s. and in the opinion polls. opponents after their first bout, both keen to signal victory before the scorecards are revealed. donald trump denied he had let his rival get under his skin. >> i was not angry at all. i was a little bit upset that the microphone in the room wasn't working properly. >> hillary clinton made short work of that claim. ms. clinton: anyone who complains about the microphone is not had a good night. >> more than 100 million people are thought to have tuned in in the u.s. alone. the morning after the candidates fellow new yorkers had their say. a lifelonge

there is utter disdain for muslims around the world. nobody knows more than muslims who are the principal victims. king ab dull law call -- ab -- abdullah says it it is good enough. >> will this help her electorally? >> well i don't know what it is going to do. i think in that same speech she called donald trump the recruiting sergeant of isis. in the past he called her the founder of isis. that leaves gary rejohnson with, what, the head of hr? none of this helps squish isis. we need to squish them, squash them and kill them. none of the discussion actually does that. so i really don't see where any of this moves the ball forward when it comes to eliminating the threat. the great point about the israelis is they have always said human life before human rights. they are a democracy, but they will do that. they will look at certain people who are bound to be more inclined to do something like that and check them a little more carefully than anybody else. >> getting back to the idea of profiling, why is it such a dirty word? isn't that how

i mean, the pew research center did a study of the muslim world and found that it is permeated with hatrede import that to the united states? i hope donald trump has a chance in the presidential debates to turn to hillary clinton and say, secretary clinton, you say you're pro women, but you want to bring in hundreds of thousands of young men who hate women. you say you're pro-anyway, but you want to bring in hundreds of thousands of people who think gays ought to be killed. you say you're on the side of america's jews, but you want to bring in millions of anti-semites. and this is modern-day progressivism. look, let me try to wrap this up. let me commend an article to you, came out this week, written by an anonymous author. the author says that they are the head of a conservative group in town. it's not clear whether it's a man or a woman. the title of the article is "the flight 93 election." you remember flight 93, the flight, the plane, the hijacked plane that came down in pennsylvania. the point of this author was that this country is the equivalent of that hijacked plane right now. we'

to the extent we're talking about terrorists from the muslim world, which we mostly are, i think there's something to think about islam itself. i think the professor mentioned it. the islamic world has not undergone a reformation. point one. point two, i'm a roman catholic. one of the strengths of the catholic church is the magestyrian and that's lacking in islam, in sunni islam. one of the things that's required is to think of the reformation of islam. i'm sorry that a colleague of ours has left that is a libraryian. we are having a conference in seville at the end of september in which we'll talk about the role of intellect in islam. meaning which is one of the sources of reform if it can be combined with communal consensus. i think that's awfully important. one of the things that comes from the panels in one way you can be overwhelmed, you learn so much. on the other hand, if you're a general gray, you have to fight back and you have to win. i think that's true. of course the win here is much more subtle than the usual win. but again, i think you've performed a real service and extrac

he became president before the arab spring about the way we would reset our relations with the muslim world and that we would try to kind of reframe the way the u.s. projected its influence in the middle east. i think, begun, the challenge for says is as we're watching what's going no the middle east, we have to understand that the other two regions that matter most in the united states in terms of our future, europe and asia, we're also seeing historic changes occur. if you go to each region, the answer that all of our partners in each region are asking for is more of the united states. that gets back to my point i made earlier, which is more of everything is not a strategy. you have to continue to be engaged in all three of those regions, and we have close partners and treaty allies in those regions. we can't meet all of their wishes equally, and that -- that triage is something that we struggled with in government and the next administration will struggle with as well. the last question was on iraq, and why is it that this parcel of land has been such a chal ek for the united states for

how do we make the muslim world move in the direction. there are some groups out there that embrace modernity, that are willing to accept other religions, other viewpoints while pursuing their own because that's -- that's the ball game. basically is that there is not a reasonable alternative right now in terms of governance and religion. so that gives fertile ground for these crazy ideologies to grow. those are the two questions. and colonel price, if you could start since you touched on those in your opening, what's the best approach to handling that? >> yes, sir. so on the first question, i think the way we will have to move forward and what we've done since 9/11 is realized that this is not a unilateral fight, and that's going to require multilateral efforts in order to make most effective ct policy. that obviously entails a number of functions, building partner capacity, security force assistance, and those types of programs. i don't think i have a good answer to come back with the perception problem of having u.s. in those countries.

storm where ideas are able to be spread among their peer group all over the world and when they're asking how to be uber muslimanswers come from the bad guys and that ideology is percolating in all parts of the world so whether it's dhaka, whether it's paris, detroit, san francisco, it's there and i don't see a mammoth effort to face the threats we face ideologically. >> what do we do? what effort should we be undertaking? >> the good news is in the 15 years since 9/11 we have piloted a whole host of things that deal with this sort of persuasion piece, this ideological war that's happen iing and by the w, i don't mean winning hearts and minds. that's not what i'm talking about. >> you're over that? >> we're getting peer influencers to provide alternative content for the young person so that they understand themselves in a different way. and so when we think about what you do all day everyday at your amazing center in the online space and understand what's happening to young people and you combine that with what's happening offline, when these kids are talking to their peers about hey, how do you do this? how d

these blessed 10 days and i remind myself and all of you that let us think of the plight of muslims around the world. look at our brothers and sisters in syria. look at their plites in kashmir. see what's happening in mir amar, in so many muslim lands. our brethren go to sleep worrying about bombs and they wake up in the morning worried about where to get their food. we thank allah for all the blessings he has given us. and i strongly disagree with the sentiment that some people have that they're always complaining about the times that we live in. recently i heard somebody moan and say that this is the worst time to be a muslim in america. i disagree. in fact, i believe this is the best time to be a muslim in america. there's never been a better time. do you know why? it goes back to the theme of this convention. navigating challenges and seizing opportunities. we are facing colossal challenges, unprecedented challenges. and it is a struggle navigating our way through those challenges. it's a struggle to always try to find opportunities in the problems around us. these days we are constantly having
