there's this huge muslim population. there's not a huge muslim population oklahoma. it's ridiculous and the whole movement is ridiculous. there have been no cases have sharia law actually been sighted. one exception in new jersey, which was overturned. and of course you remember that summer as well as two years before, all of the rumors that obama our president is muslim. one third of all believed this according to polling at the time. one quarter of the entire electorate believe this. and of course the ground zero mosque. the ground zero mosque becomes the political litmus test to determine how politicians stand on this key issue. mayor bloomberg, newt gingrich is against it. but even as a political litmus test out in iowa, and iowa. in 2010 and the race for a seat in congress held by bruce braley, a democrat leading his opponents until this political ad. for centuries, muslims tell mosque were they when military the trees he now they want to build a mosque at ground zero were islamic terrorists killed 3000 americans. it's like the japanese building at pearl harbor.

condemned the attacks of 9/11, virtually every muslim, majority muslim country condemned the 9/11 attacks including iran. third assertion, that the organizer of the mosque believes that america was partly responsible for 9/11. i think maybe they made a strange mistake here, and they mistook imam ralph for jerry falwell. because if you remember what jerry falwell said immediately after 9/11, he blamed, he said america is partly responsible for 9/11. of course, he said more specifically paganists, abortionists, feminists and gays and lesbians are responsible for 9/11 because god is not happy with america because of the social victories of these groups. and so this is chickens coming home to roost. this is jerry falwell, not imam ralph. actually, imam ralph -- interestingly enough -- in his last book turns out to be quite a conservative fellow. not religiously, politically. if you read his book, he has all sorts of nice things to say about justice scalia, for instance, and the bush administration. in fact, of course, ralph was an emissary for the bush administration overseas in the muslim wo

taken place in the muslim world so the angry with it in the muslim world before nine eleven was you what was the world i don't think he was i don't think was greatly known i think. if anything in the gulf countries and those people had been part of the struggle the fight to get the jihad against the soviets he was known in that circle of people definitely because of his personal sacrifice and his integrity and all of the things that he'd done which you would not expect a very a billionaire to do but after that i think is influence as being. if it's been seen for. something greater than it really is people were going to it wasn't the united states didn't just attack with some bin laden that into school after they went after nations and they killed tens of thousands of people in the process so bin laden may have come and gone it's irrelevant because those symptoms that bin laden was addressing are still there. would you primarily describe yourselves on. the liberation of those. people who like. for processes intellectuals. all of the above. i think some of the those things don't necessaril

we're muslims we're in the news you speak we speak a bit of french. and we want so determination self-determination. is best met by not showing up too much with egypt it was not made in egypt i think of course that you know and the arabs have attempted it they've tried to do the different organizations of of of just arab unity but this goes beyond arab unity and this is i'm talking about islamic unity which includes turks it includes iranians it includes pakistanis in indonesia it's huge it's massive but why have unity well why would europe want to do the whole point of unity there as i think there will be and i think the reason your wanted you to actually was set up by the states to make the united states of europe that would be economically perhaps on the right in order to combat the soviet union that's why i think and i think i think that the reason and now now it's it's a trade block right the reason for unity would probably be. economics of course defense of course. and you know this is a harking back to history where you could travel from one po

that i saw that video and to me it looks like a fiery muslim preaching jihad. why did you say this sort of bombing this comes in the context of. the israelis having bombed qana and in the cold masses of civilians this is in two thousand and six now i know you have to understand is that you know as far as muslims are concerned at the moment you know they are under attack in countries you know all over the world oh you know hundreds and thousands of people dying and effectively our concept of just you know at least in its current iteration is that you know as muslims we have the right to defend ourselves and there is no no point of saying that. these people are being killed that is a occupation clone or domination racism taking place and that these people they should be allowed to defend themselves of issues keep being slapped and killed and raped and that they're not allowed to defend it and defense here means military resistance of course and all of these countries should be not i mean that's on the full the full speech and i and i talk within that speech as we

but what of a muslim? what of a muslim in cairo? is there ethical struggles? is there ethical dilemmas that a young muslim has to go through in trying to realize- in this case his- his own proper patterns of action? what's the good life for him? now, to some extent, this happens in all cultures, because he's a young person trying to make sense of life. but what akmad- who we interviewed- what he brings out is that even within islam- i mean, you may be well familiar with this- but even within islam in egypt, there is major conflicts. and to put a little bit of a background on it, when we were in egypt, there were very, very few tourists there because not shortly before, the tourists in luxor had been mowed down by machine guns. and what's fueling this, of course, is the quest by fundamentalist, traditionalist muslims to overthrew what they perceive as the secular regime of mombaric. and more and more, akmad, this young person, is feeling that pressure- the pressure of the old, the old traditional, those very rigid ethical patterns of action that come out and ar

of the muslim brotherhood who went militant. some of the members of that group, which are obviously a terrific in using violence have since actually said they made a big mistake in assassinating him because they thought he was far more tolerant than mubarak. so it is interesting they have had a change of heart. but that particular group is no longer a major force and never really was a major force but they asserted themselves and very ugly ways, including the assassination of on moore's about. host: our next call is from hollywood, florida. caller: i am speaking as an egyptian american. i have lived in both countries and i see both sides of the story. one of the things i wanted to point out is egypt has suffered 60 years of for my lack of education. most people there have been pushed not to think of politics, but what they're going to have for dinner. on the other side, egyptian -- egypt is very important to the states, but the problem i see is it's another like of education, not in terms of illiteracy, but in terms of how the m

simply on the basis that the people they were monitoring were muslim so what does this mean for muslim americans in the state and does this mean racial profiling is acceptable there to discuss this i'm joined now by shahar is associate professor of law at texas lesley and university. so as a member of the muslim community what is your reaction to this well it is disappointing to say the least i think that there's a lot of patients finding first in new jersey citizens clearly need to pass a law that bar police departments from other states from snooping in spying on your citizens without any and if you want mission and without even knowing you knew your you who is department within your. governor so i think that it's clear that until more needs to be passed to protect your you didn't and such overreaching because it appears based on the move who are one who think the attorney general is competent that. they did accurate legal maneuver you are the problem seems to be that the law law and no a new law needs to be to protect all that is in particularly muslim the point yesterday and so thi

there's a rapidly growing muslim population. they were trying to make the case that because of the occupation, the christian population with shrinking. but had you square with that that the muslim population is tripling? what looks like a fleeing population is a population shrinking because of its percentage, particularly in bethlehem. israel controlled bethlehem until 1995. there are no israeli forces in bethlehem. before 1995, christians were a majority and that the christian population went from 90% to 30%, but not because the christians are leaving, but because the muslim population is growing very fast. the point i made in the interview that was not broadcast -- they had to find the holy land as the west bank, bethlehem and jerusalem. they were surprised there were christmas places in israel. how can you not talked about the total double -- total devastation in gaza? israel has the only growing christian population. the christian population has grown from will -- don't -- grown by 1000%. they're better educated and more aff

my comments today will focus on religious profiling of american muslims. up to six million americans know what it's like to be looked upon with suspicion in the post-9/11 america, perhaps even before, although muslim americans work hard and play by the rules, a small number don't, many even live the american dream and send their kids to college and earn a living just like everyone else. yet many know all too well what it means to be pulled off of an airplane, pulled out of line, denied service, called names, or even physically attacked. like other americans, muslim americans want law enforcement to uphold public safety and not be viewed as a threat but as an ally. when fbi, for example, shows up at home and offices of american muslims who haven't done anything wrong, it makes them feel taergetted and under suspicion, and it diminishes the important connection between law enforcement and citizen that is necessary to protect all of us. when muslim americans get pulled out of line at the airport and questioned for hours, asked questions and these are question

you know packets of peanuts there's a perception among many muslims that the u.s. is on a crusade in the islamic world but some argue it's more based on the idea of transforming the region rather than imposing the religion on them the original sin of this entire enterprise which was the carter doctrine really posited. through the use of american hard power we were going to be able to shape and determine the destiny of a very large part of the world when are we going to acknowledge that we are not going to be able to determine the fate of one point four billion muslims we don't have the wisdom we don't have the will we don't have the wallet what do you hear in the speeches by u.s. officials is usually something along these lines we're waging wars in muslim countries to fight terror bring about democracy peace and so on you'll never hear the words say but what kind of message does it send when they're all means call themselves the sabers and could cross a low blows on their warplanes i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . coming up next hour r.t. dou
