if i want to know what muslims think about me i'll have to do is go to the muslim web site.if i want to see what muslims want always to do was google christian great commission. you can find out anything you want about anybody. the problem is we have a lot of smart people who don't know how to speak with one voice in a the global conversation in a clear way where people can understand them. that is what is not happening. >> thank you, bob. [applause] madison. how does it look from your lens in terms of these kinds of issues, in terms of what is happening in the progressive field? >> well, i first want to commend you for the theme of this conference and for the theme of this panel and those that you have gathered because this is the kind of conversation that needs to take place not just here but throughout the country. it takes muslims to have these people brought together. thank you very much. >> highlights the point i want to start with and what pastor roberts just said. the problem right now is that there is no place to have a conversation. there was no common ground. ther

this in the muslim world that in which muslims are way way way in which muslims or either a majority or a minority so i think you're simply taking a. chance and trying and you're right and you're trying to universalize it in a way that's not true wafa go ahead it is simply not true that's not the reality they really want in the united states of america you are not something you're not supposed to wait for someone to tell you about islam you should do your own homework and reach your own conclusion does god does that book i have that by the way i have i mean i definitely know my own homework enrich my own conclusion and my conclusion is yes i testify that there is no god little one hundred as a possible and i live and i live in a community i live in a community and i live in a world where the kind of radically extremist anti muslim views that you articulate simply don't apply. so you don't mean you are not your need you are need to open minded. and descend to what muslims are doing and saying not only and that is let me come to these but where i find that they exist. just listen to. t

muslims you know has to believe in islam as a religion and as a state muslims are not allowed to live under the american constitution they are here eventually to replace the american constitution with islamic sharia because no one is allowed to live but and that islamic sharia ok wasn't the end warfare. any evidence for what is the evidence do you have to make that statement that they want to take. on their head yet the evidence and their color on and it is you have to read one hundred mudslides in arabic in order to understand that the underlying foundation of islam is to take over i was all done to fly people until they believed in islam. this is what mohamed said what well that is that is. that is absolutely contrary to the reality of a person like me who is an eighth generation american whose parents are christian whose associates and friends and loved ones in many ways in many cases are christian no one has ever told me in any religious context that i've been in that the purpose of my life was to somehow overturn constitutional law and replace it with sharia that simply isn't tru

it is not for muslims to do anything other than american muslims or muslim americans as i like to say have always done. to say what should we do suggest that something you have done has brought this circumstance about. and i reject that. and that was one reason why i know we are having fun and we are talking but the pearl harbor analogy was very disturbing to me. this notion that this collective guilt should be imposed on random american citizens for what some random other people did, it wasn't even the action of a particular government. >> what i was trying to say was we didn't respond in a hysterical extremist manner. great you are not in concentration camps, congratulations. that is not what i would say here. what i would say is we did not respond in the same extremist manner we did in the past. >> i was referring to hysterical but my point is, the real point of the answer is we, all of us who are americans, all of us have to claim this as a problem for america. we have got to say that this focus -- [applause] this mass hysteria is carrying our country apart. it is making us less s

this is to muslims are in this country. >> that is muslims in america.ghter] this was taken in a basement. we took this photograph at a basement and just muslims smiling and having a good time and that to me was the essence of our project. and words can summarize it any way they want but that photograph really captures the portrayal so when it comes to the controversies, yes, racial profiling, backlash, people getting beaten up and profiled and things like that i don't want to downplay the severity that the state of that reflects my life style at all is ridiculous. i'm on the road about a fourth of the year and for the most part i don't have problems flying like here and there there are some stories and things like that but those aren't the issues. the conversations we are hearing is my mortgage, how am i going to pay the mortgage, what kind of public schools should i put my kids and? by wife won't let me watch the game triet [laughter] these are not unique to muslims. these are issues and that is what we wanted to get into to talk about so instead of ta

, again, american muslims said that suicide bombing, 80% of the muslims said that suicide bombing can sometimes be justified in defense of islam. the simple math if we take a number such as 7 million, that mr. obama said, that would be 560,000 people who live in the united states who think suicide bombing can be justified. among muslims aged 18 to 29, 15% believe that suicide bombing could be justified. among this age group, 60% thought of themselves first as muslim and second as americans. among all ages and met 2007 survey, 5% had a favorable view of al qaeda. now that we have not suffered another large-scale attack after september 11 is due in part to some fine work by law enforcement. for more than likely come the inability of the muslim brotherhood to capitalize on what they built. and there is i will say the great uncertainty as to how americans would react to widespread terrorism within the american heartland. american navy is very genteel people, but also people whose passion for freedom could leave them to drastic measures. i believe the muslim brotherhood doesn't quite know

terrorism the terrorist muslim extremist muslim extremist terrorist and of story. the point here once again is that this kind of fear and hardline condemnation of entire groups of people seems to be based west on our actual relationship with those people and on our relationship with media. with african americans the situation is somewhat different this has been a group that has achieved some recognition on television in terms of being a group people in terms of certain visibility on television that. african-americans are about fourteen percent of the television population which is close to the real population but their representation is very peculiar this bacteria. allows itself to be. peculiarly they are healthier they're wealthier they're more successful they're more middle class than characters in general giving the impression that there's no problem the problems have been solved very successful. leading to the notion that they african american. civil rights and. equality movement has achieved its goal and there's no problem it will be different than it was befo

they were protected in the muslim world. they became great merchants in the muslim world. when the muslims exposed, excuse me, when the catholic church of spain expelled the jews in 1492, it was the muslim world, it was the sultan who took them in and who allowed them to thrive. and he took them in not to carry stones up to build a pyramid, he brought them in to thrive and to make the empire stronger. so there were many times when jews were either horribly persecuted or greatly emancipated within the context of the dimmy world. but whenever they excelled, they excelled as dimmies. when they were put down, they were put down as dimmies. there is no way to generalize. if you have a specific question, i will specifically answer you. now, the jews of mesopotamia were there for 2600 years. that's a thousand years before islam came to the middle east. how is it that they were turned into a vile member of the citizenry? well, the answer is this dimmyhood, this dimmytude. how did the nazis come to make common cause with the arabs? the answer is, oil. there were never, there were n

for all muslims. and jews setting in motion a cycle of fear and recrimination that bleeds from our news into our fictional forms and back again as violent representations of arabs and muslims in t.v. shows movies trigger even more violent reactions. including the increased popularity of torture as part of our evening entertainment tonight. violent reaction a backlash that seems to have played out in the real world as well. born in america bred here in america muslim extremist terrorists spreading various chests anti-american and violent extremism except for timothy mcveigh every terrorist has been a muslim there's a theology that seems terrorism now i don't claim to understand it because the collide i'm not the expert in all all those what i'm told all along was a demon spirit even more hammered thought so extremist muslim terrorism the terrorist muslim extremist muslim extremist terrorist and end of story. the point here once again is that this kind of fear and hardline condemnation of entire groups

hindus attacking muslims, muslims attacks hindus. he was there in the capitol of india, and many were feeling very insecure, and indeed there was a plan by some to evict all the muslims from delhi and make the city purely hindu. his last fast and was a fast untoe death as he called it started in january. enough hindus in delhi prejudiced themselves to prevent that from happening. it was the last fast that angered the few hindus who were convinced that gandhi was too friendly to the muslims and decided to kill him. he was assassinated some days after that final fast of his. >> i wondered what your opinion was of the film made by sir richard apler of gandhi. >> i believe it to be a very fine film. no film can cover everything. it has to cover only certain episodes in a person's life, but i thought it was a great film. it is interesting after all the creator was an englishman, so this enabled him to speak to the world. >> do you have a profound personal memory that you can share with us? a story? >> the last months of gandhi's life were

this is alarming for muslims. places like iraq and afghanistan, tremendous persecution because the amount of christians converting. the amount of muslims converting to islam. the amount of muslims converting to christianity, sorry. >> is this part of a larger struggle? >> africa has always been caught between the struggles, whether it is the cold war, communism, capitolism. it is fair game, a fertile ground for places like conflict and religious, religions to spread. >> doctor, why did they want to spread nar islamic fliens? influence? >> a lot of the times they can get access to europe and via the places like nigeria and other places. also, i think africa has a lot of wealth and a lot of influence. the community of islam can be established. >> of course that is part of the islamic e philosophy, to spread their religion far as wide as they can. they see an open door in africa? >> definitely an open door. it is important that christians around the world pray for africa. a lot of islamic persecution taking place in

american muslims worked to define their place in u.s. society, but many felt unfairly targeted by enhanced security measures and what they saw as a rising tide of islamophobia. president obama made improving relations with the muslim world one of the priorities of his new administration. the 9/11 attacks led to american involvement in long and difficult wars in afghanistan and iraq. religious and ethical leaders debated whether each conflict was just. president george w. bush argued for a doctrine of preventive war, the idea that it was moral to attack a coury to prevent it from attacking us first. the ethical debates intensified with revelations that the us was using torture as a means of getting information. after thousands of deaths of troops and civilians, president obama announced the end of combat operations in iraq and the intention to begin withdrawing from afghanistan. economic crises dominated much of the end of the decade as recession, unemployment and foreclosures took a toll on faith-based groups and the people they serve. r

you have muslims, bosniak muslims, and the alliances change by the minute, by the hour. it was a murderous mix, and we have seen it today in that same part of the world. but the truth is that the worst crimes was the holocaust was committed by this muslim catholic alliance, as clients of the nazis in yugoslavia. eventually, hitler lost the war, but the holocaust stopped in may of 1945, and it continued in the middle east as all of the infrastructure that have been put in place by the arabs to make common cause of the nazis to destroy the jews, now came into the own the middle east countries. they invaded israel and they invaded, not to restore palestinian rights, not to restore their lands, but go to exterminate the jews. they even used the reference of genghis khan. this phrase was invented in the 1920s. not in the 1930s, not in the 1940s. palestinian blood not. how stein is our land. they would run up and down the street and they would scream palestinian is our land. but it was actually a ride. here's the second half of the run. palestine is our land, the jew is our do

was the muslim world. it was the sultan who took them in and who allowed them to thrive, and he took them in not to carry the stones to build a pair mid -- pyramid and they were great emanslaughter dated in the context of the dimmi world but whenever they excelled as dimmis. now, the jews of mesopotamia were there for 2600 years. that's 1,000 years before islam came to the middle east. how is it that they were turned into a vile member of the citizenry? well, the answer is, this dimmi hood, this dimmitude, the nazis. how did the nazis come to make common cause with the arab? the answer is oil. there were never -- there were never any countries in the middle east. they were all created by british petroleum and anglo persian and by other oil imperialistic states in the west for the sole purpose of getting the oil. prior to this there were just tribes. as a result of this, this bringing in of the west with the mesopotamia, as a result of this, it made the people of mesopotamia feel that they were being invade

it is not for muslims to do anything other than american muslims and muslim americans. to save what should we do suggests that something you has done has brought circumstance about. i reject that. i know we are having fun and talking, but pearl harbor analogy was very disturbing to me. this notion that this collective guilt should be imposed on random american citizens for what some random other people did, it wasn't even the action of a particular government. >> we did not respond. it was great. congratulations. that is not what i would say. what i would say is we did not respond. >> my point is, the real point, me, all of us, all of us have to claim this as a problem for america. we have to say that this focus, this hysteria, this mass hysteria is tearing our country apart. it is making us less safe. it is undermining our ability to harvest resources of american children who want to make a contribution. mexican american heritage, islamic heritage, religion. and again, not to pick on you, but just to say that america, they like muhammed ali 30 years later. and he chang

the muslims were going to be honorary catholics or honorary croatians. we should always understand, always understand whatever we have today did not appear suddenly. it is a legacy. here is a question from western friend from los angeles. how does any of this relates to the so-called broadcast investment sanction movement against israel? we hear about this or time. weather roots of this movement? when did this start? this started in january of 19 -- april of 1933 when the mafia of jerusalem went to the arab consulate, we are ready to join the nazi boycott against the jews and from that it percolated as a continuous effort to deny identification to, legitimacy to and commerce with the jews in palestine. it got so bad that in the 30s, took a jew across town. that arab taxi driver could be killed. so the movement is -- the one we see today is as much a legacy of the arab nazi alliance of 8 as anything else i have discussed. do you have one? here's a question from london, my question is was it premeditated or spontaneous? was it premeditated? the answer is y

now i'm not muslim and we are not the same as a muslim nation and we can't lecture to people on thist's none of our business naturally. all we can do is enable discussions among muslims so we are doing the things like organizing with usitc in 100 afghan mullahs to travel to egypt for several weeks to indonesia and to the united states and have discussions about topics of mutual interest with imams from those countries. we are not dictating what conversations will be. but it is important for us in a national security interest those discussions start to occur so that is one example we are looking at quite a few other programs of a similar nature taking people out, and we are also working to set up a distinguished islamic speaker's serious to try to bring interesting speakers to afghanistan and then clearly we sure their events and speeches are promoted and that they are broadcast and people hear about them. very important area. this is too though. we are, mentioned the demographics dreyfus in a useful deduction, drive a lot of our money and effort in the youthful direction and we are w

or you here, obama is a muslim. he's a closet follower of islam here that explains why he came out in favor of the ground zero mosque. or obama is a progressive, he's kind of a left liberal. he hasn't half-baked ideas in college. or obama is a socialist, not a marxist perhaps, but some kind of a european-style socialist. and that is why he is expanding the size of the government. i think when you begin to examine these theories, you find that they don't quite fit the data. they are like hammers. you have to take the data and sort of work it to make the theory stand up. take for example, the idea that obama wasn't born in america. oddly enough by the way, when i wrote a cover story in forbes as sort of a little preview of my book which is called "the roots of obama's rage," and when the forbes article came out, the white house -- this is the very on robert gibbs white house press secretary, they begin to attack the book is a he is raising the issue whether obama was born in kenya. this is a flat-out distortion of my
