the muslims are terrorists but all terrorists all muslim and without the rise of american islamophobia so with osama bin laden out of the way of the u.s. military spending higher than ever who's afraid of the big bad muslim. and if the bird is a plane no it's the first meeting of the congressional super committee so will these lawmakers use their powers to defeat america's kryptonite or is the defense budget simply invincible. and there it is tuesday september thirteenth five pm in washington d.c. and christine for example you're watching our team. well it would be difficult to refute that the point that since nine eleven we as a society have changed profoundly we think differently about the way the world sees us we travel differently and many of us don't even think twice when we hear stories about our government using enhanced forms of intelligence gathering to prevent violence to young men learned this the hard way when they attended the republican convention in two thousand and eight and were encouraged by a friend and mentor to take their protest to the next level that friend and m

100% muslims, 95% muslim, iran 95%. they haven't been successful in implementing. the point is really that sharia is just a prop, and attempts to say we don't like islam and muslims i don't know and i don't care. but if you want to have an excuse here is one. let's try sharia. i think that is what it is. i have one non-islam related -- about this report which i find perplexing and interesting. the favorability numbers towards african-americans are 89%. nearly everybody, 90% is a huge number. so why is race an issue in this country? why do people feel that they institutionalize discrimination in this country? what it tells me is there is no connection between favorability and institutionalized discrimination. so it is quite possible that you could have just favorability numbers very high towards muslims in the u.s. without having institutionalized discrimination against muslims and that is why you find of muslims in america are much much happier than this data actually suggest. that is why two out of three american musli

muslims?hat is up with that? okay, the reactions of the muslims within the non-muslims engage will be very important because again, it defenses go up right away and you're not allowed to engage, you know that something other than reform mindedness is going on. but it's also very, very important when you are told, because you will be told you're stationed in in islam a phobia, very important. i get these tips in the book as well because it's really a how-to for both progressive muslims unprogressive non-muslims that if you are fearful, you'd be running away from this conversation. he wouldn't be sticking around to try and press the other person to engage in it. so again, you don't need to freeze in that moment, okay? to recognize that are. the stakes are universality of human rights and reflect on the tips that i could do in the book so you will be prepared for what one would think should be and are very legitimate conversations in a pluralistic society and that you do take a moral courage to w

are muslims who are better than the muslims in europe and our muslims are not like the muslims of iran so even those that have had no contact would be predisposed to having a slightly positive delta attitude relatively speaking. but also this clearly shows anybody that knows a muslim personally has a very positive views about muslims and does not have the striking the high unfavorable views about islam. but in the republican party is very interesting. even though people in texas and oklahoma that have never met muslims but to somebody they like like rick perry who is very close or christie from new jersey, these are people that are not talking in the islamophobia language. i have a feeling that if muslims can reach out at least to the leaders and the opinion makers the fact that not every american can no muslim can be part of a affected by muslims knowing who shares their attitude and their opinion making for half the american muslims particularly is really gargantuan. >> tell me how much time we have left because i want to go back to the twitter feed. we will begin and end with twitte
