the muslims. and again they do the same in india and then in the punjab we see the muslims retaliating by attacking the 6 and killing a lot of sikhs in march $947.00 so the whole thing is blowing up in a way that's becoming really completely uncontrollable. in mart's 947 lord louis mountbatten arrived in delhi. as the last viceroy of india he'd been touched by the british prime minister to negotiate an exit deal with indian leaders mountbatten appeared bent on hastening the end of imperial rule and soon came to favor the option of partition. gandhi said the game and the game in india were narky but don't buy it we will sort it out once you are gone then we will see how to do it but the big b. said we will go only after you decide who should get what and that is all part and became absolutely inevitable so gandhi went to the extent of saying that. barbican could only pick platform is dead body. and then of course the congress leaders decided that they would accept the partition they felt was able t

muslims live on and you know all. sharif says that many here feel marginalized and abused by the philippine government a feeling only confirmed by the bombing of murali. as a result of the conflict and the destruction tens of thousands fled the city. we visit one of the many camps set up for the displaced. is a widow and used to run a small shop downtown she has 8 children since the battle erupted she hasn't seen 4 of them. again no one no one alive my strength comes from allah only from allah he keeps me alone. before i could hear my children's voices but not anymore. before in the middle of the night at 1 in the morning i could hear them crying asking for help but now i can't hear them anymore my children are too far away already i can no longer hear their voices. normal. before who have gone missing 3 girls and a boy were all in qur'an school when the fighting began. and the 4 children still with her are tormented by thoughts of what might have happened to the others were they seized by the i.a.s. fighters are they

many here don't trust muslims. see no evidence that when muslims come to our village there's no problem but when we get to where they are they want to cut off our heads i mean. down the road you know melissa long as that's why we don't want them to rule in our community. but that's the attitude of muslims is very different from our christian attitude. on money it's terrifying. what will happen to our children when we have to live under muslim rule. muslims and christians are different than what i was a christian simply had. once the muslims rule they will make us their slaves and. harvest well but allan tell me you want the local i'm going to look i'm. out. after church on sunday in a nearby village it's time for some cock fighting. it's a bloody spectacle and a favorite pastime for many in the philippines mainly among christians. and. muslim religious leaders and the moral islamic liberation front disapprove not of the cruelty but because it involves gambling. we reached the biggest city in mindanao. president to

they're muslim. and. we're allowed to visit the headquarters of the military wing of the liberation front. us. the chief of staff isn't in uniform perhaps of the shift from armed struggle to political action and responsibility. or we ask what might happen if the project of autonomy doesn't go well. day and maybe day. people are up and they are saudi leads us by our creativity did a lot of people really become diminished by the time that the isis with. the station double means all the followers of the will go in for their good will and. that they can become bigger. says. the liberation front has a lot of support among the muslim world poor many believe their ancestors were victims of a historical injustice committed by christians the spanish american colonists and the philippine government in manila. the prospect of autonomy and peace has given the people here new hope. the m i l f says it will disarm up to $30000.00 fighters once autonomy from the muslim majority region is implemented. what they have not

or any other muslim area the same thing would happen again . only muslim people with. but if the battle took place somewhere else i would join somalia. is out of a job again and he's disappointed about losing the battle and about the empty promises said. the leaders of the i.a.s. fighters in morale we were 2 brothers omar and abdullah martin. members of a powerful clan they are revered as heroes by their young followers. but most muslims on mindanao have no sympathy for the ideology of the so-called islamic state other conscious raef is a leading figure in the local muslim community he knew them out of brothers because of his long beard he has been dubbed bin laden as in osama bin laden. sharif likes the nickname even though he says he is opposed to violence and said that to the local fighters. visiting me in my house and convincing me to go in there sometimes they told me please join us we will make you as our army. yes and he will make us our leader actually when you have talking with me to say but they have been letting me join us because we cannot trust in them or

the muslims. and again they do the same in india and then in the punjab we see the muslims retaliating by attacking the sikhs and killing a lot of sikhs in march $947.00 so the whole thing is blowing up in a way that's becoming really completely uncontrollable. in march 947 louis mountbatten arrived in delhi. as the last viceroy of india he'd been tasked by the british prime minister to negotiate an exit deal with indian leaders. batten appeared bent on hastening the end of imperial rule and soon came to favor the option of partition. again and again. but. once you are gone. but. only after you decide. and then of course the congress leaders decided that they would accept the partition. was able to stir up so much trouble for them that if they didn't come. for a separate state of pakistan then he would he would cause terrible disruption within within india after independence and perhaps compromise the integrity of the indian nation state perhaps collapse. was appointed to the boundary commission i

as it actually doesn't matter if someone is a jew a muslim a christian or an atheist. in the end jewish people and muslims are more affected because we are a target for nazis and racists. and meanwhile not far away these people are also expressing solidarity between religions christians jews and muslims have gathered to pray for peace this kind of interfaith service is unusual appealing for intercultural dialogue working against hate and exclusion. of course you are always afraid especially when you hear about attacks like the one just now in how then you ask yourself tomorrow will it be us always some other group be the target the question is not only relevant for muslims but for every one. to terror attack in holland has put germany on edge the spotlight is on authorities to provide better securities for jews muslims and everyone else. really no glue croft joins me now in studio william let's just get a little more context on this i mean how big is the threat right now to germany's muslim community or let's just look at some statistics that german government has put

massacred muslims muslim league extremists hindus gandhi was horrifying. he began to fast in calcutta which he vowed to continue until the violence stopped. he refused to relinquish his vision of an india where the 2 communities could live in friendship and peace. and gandhi was watching all this he was doing his best he went to bangor he walked around the villages which where the muslims have massacred the landlords and he talked to the muslims he really put his life on the line and he went without any protection just a few of his followers walking on foot and he managed to persuade the muslims that there was not not right to do this as he walked people would throw glass pieces on the floor. in his spot and his answer to that was to even give more of the very simple founded speech he used in order to walk and start walking barefoot this had a tremendous more to impact and the fabric that we like to draw is between in the christian tradition the fiction of christ that is suffering for humanity tormenting the fish in order to make the martyr. be and then th

between the muslims and the.

>> muslim communities in europe are watching very closely to see what happens to young muslims from france belgium, germany who went. what would be their fate? would they be prosecuted and aided the same way as a 15-year-old white danish girl who made a horrific mistake. that is one thing. the stakes are high for the judgment of european muslims. at the same time i think there has been a terrible shadow cast over muslim society in europe because so much political activism or preoccupation or concerns, frustrations and grievances of the young people in europe that isis very much preyed upon, are seen now in the lens of counterterrorism. if you are young person in high school or the uk and you start going to free palestine marches you will show up on counterterrorism policies and might get a knock on your door. a lot of state support for muslim women and domestic violence, other issues under the umbrella of counterterrorism. it is -- faith has been securitized in the path of this and that is very polarizing and one of the terrible legacies for muslim communities. >> host: let's open it up to

the muslim man dehumanizes muslims. evoking dark chapters of our nations history. the story of the jews, irish, italians, the stain of japanese-american direct camps. each of these groups, which on an isolated. but america prevails. when these groups stop being seen as outsiders and started being seen as neighbors. and that to americans, your neighbors. we are your dentists and patients. your teachers and students. we are our barbers and politicians and even standup comedians. but most importantly, we are husbands and wives and parents and children and brothers and sisters. this is why the muslim man versus deeply personal loophole. clause we know that it is contrary to the welcoming country we aspire to be. here's the good news. the president and the supreme court's do not have the final say. congress does. earlier this year, congresswoman and senator chris coons introduced the gnomon act. a bill that would terminate the current muslim fan. and with amendola to assure that no president can enact a similar discriminatory plan again in the future. most importantly,

this was the muslim band. in my oversight, as chair, i want to know what that waiver process looks like. i appreciate that the state provided the data but as i look at that data, as the tens of thousands of waiver applications, only 5 percent has been granted. on a no why 95 percent were denied. 95 percent by trying to come to the united states for reasons of hardship or national interest. or national security risk. again i want to know what happens when that waiver application to the back black box. who makes the decision. what is that process look like. what authority have a counselor and officers been given. i think about this in the context of our most important fathers members of congress. it's just not from oversight but from people who do work for our constituents. people who would represent us. i think about one of my own constituents, omnia. omni is the two -year-old. like many families industries all across this country. limit share her story. her mother is an american citizen. she happens to be in l

to argue in majority muslim countries. 92% of the world's muslim population is not included on this list of the top 10 majority muslim nations in the world, top 10 only two of them are included on this list. and there are concerns with the individual countries that leads to the current administration coming before congress just like the last administration did because the c countries still he issues. serious is still in a very bad place. in serious you can argue is a worse place than it was during the last administration, totally destabilized. our great employees working hard to execute vetting for our country don't have a partner on the other side to contact your partner in the sitting government with the yemeni government. i have some documentation i want to verify. i want to make sure it's accurate and i have a question. there are a lot of countries all around the world where we have the ability and the documentation is verifiable but we have applicants coming from certain countries where the country has been completely destabilized to the point where we don't have a willing partner a

india has 200 million muslims, the second largest muslim country and they voted with their feet to stay in india. there is no indian members, indian muslim members of isis or al qaeda, no active she hottie movements except a few fringe groups. that the indian government because of the citizen registry, because of the detention centers they want to institute. they are amending the law to exclude muslims so the atmosphere in india right now, the press has been silent, the judiciary has been co-opted and indian civil society, lawyers are deeply concerned about the fate of the country right now. it is the world's largest democracy. the power of populism, trump, modi, populist. a populist can tell a false story well. the only way to fight these guys is by telling a true story better and this is why they hate journalists and writers. in some cases imprisoned, murdered. you can tell a true story better, a global contest of truth telling. >> we have to stop there. we will get too many questions but we had a great discussion. the authors will be at the book signing tent across from us. if you wo

our community is suffering from the muslim ban and unjust laws. in san francisco, we have local laws and policies that protect us from injustice that the federal government carries out against us. we need to make sure that sfpd officers continue to follow laws so that the muslim community has protection from the f.b.i. we need to know that san francisco police officers will stay out of the jttf and value the communities which they are swearing to protect. i hope the mayor's office and board of supervisors and police commission will continue to keep san francisco safe. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. my name is [ name indescernible , i am part of the yemeni american organization but i prefer to be san francisco resident. i want to thank commissioner hirsch for their commitment to our community. i also want to thank the police chief and mayor for the response. this issue is really important to me, and to my family, and my community. we need our officers to continue following a stronger local law so that the muslim com

in indonesia many people claim to be muslims but what sort of muslims are they are they do not know much about our religion we see it as our task to explain the true islam and its rules to the people. the movies even calls for evening prayer while people in many countries around the world are becoming increasingly open to same sex relationships and various gender identities indonesia seems to be taking the opposite path. cinta observes this very closely but hopes it's only a phase them and i still believe that indonesia can maintain a balance between democratic and conservative forces the pendulum sometimes swings more to one side sometimes more to the other but in their hearts indonesians are people who respect and accept others. a festival for minorities in yogyakarta. performing are hindus christians and transgender people. it has become politically opportune to be against transgender people yet they feel that they are just as good muslims as many other indonesians. joining us in need of anniston our national indonesia is one we have seen a rise in violence and discrimination against

he was convinced the world, especially america, was against muslims.snapped when a provocative video of a muslim woman wearing a sheer and transparent abaya was shown during one of his college classes. >> i saw a video that was really offensive. it made me feel insulted. like, what's wrong with a burqa? why is it getting desecrated? and it's an emotional thing. it still bothers me. it's just not right to do that. >> warren christopher clark, the isis recruit from sugar land, texas, also felt persecuted in his own country. >> i'd come from a long line of strong people who have survived 300 years of slavery, hundreds of years of jim crow, and the struggle still goes on. >> and you wanted to go there -- >> yes. >> -- specifically to be part of the islamic state, to be part of isis? >> no, i wanted to go there to see specifically what was going on, for myself. >> for hoda muthanna, peer pressure brought her to isis. she says it started innocently enough, chatting with friends online. >> it was like a muslim community going on, and i was part of it. at one

since 2010 many more than this but let me show you here black activists muslim americans palestinian sympathises of polish ice protest as occupy wall street protest this environmentalist republican national convention protest this whole all coming under the watchful eye of the f.b.i. when you all watched this intently and intensely how do you manage one of the coping strategies how do you heal as a community or as a group. well one thing that i really am hoping that we can time to do together as a community is come up with a better term than paranoia and you know i've been thinking about this idea of almost like a justified resilient almost clairvoyant knowing and so it's that intuition that has contributed to our ability to survive and to thrive even in the midst of heavy surveillance and monitor to for decades and so i think there's so much stigma attached to the word paranoia or even suspicion when so many of the activities that we are experiencing are invisible to those who may not have this kind of awareness or history and so i think you know to talk about what is our justified

yes, move it to, we're taking cancer researchers and nobody cares muslim, non-muslim, vietnamese, country, this that or the other thing, but by the way, when trump has tried to do that, when he has tried to say we don't want people to come to our country who immediately need government assistance. what kind of country would do that? of all the cut-offs in the world, it doesn't even have to be nuclear scientist, how about you don't come here and immediately need government assistance? that seems like a good cut-off. trump has pushed it just in the last week or two. and once again i'm hearing claims of hitlerianism. david: in the first six months of 2019, the number of people crossing the southern border reached 100,000 a month. and they arrived and they made an asylum claim. and those asylum claims were pretty clearly unfounded, but nonetheless, there was a system of law and treaty that governs how asylum seekers are treated that made it very difficult for the united states to do anything about that. if you want to do something about that problem, you're going to need change to change the

pages such a beautiful picture of her film go through so the experience for so many muslims when these kinds of programs are revealed is not it's not shock it's just the kind of validation and assurance that comes from recognizing that you're not actually crazy for seeing the things that you see and feel in the way that you feel about it but it certainly does create a level of paranoia that i think. you know people should not take take lightly if the experience for so many people of color for example muslim community members when dealing with other members of their community is one of fear because they don't know whether or not proximity to that person brings them within the sweep of a terror. surveillance program or because as as again as we uncover in some of our litigation law enforcement agencies are in the practice of putting individuals in mosques for the specific purpose of striking up pretextual conversations to suss out people's political opinions then you really start to tear at the fiber of what holds a community together away from and i'd like to help you what kind of a bri

some young muslims in the uk are turning to speed dating to find love. including apps but like the idea of meeting people of their own faith in real life. anisa kadri from the bbc‘s asian networkjoined a speed dating event for muslims in london. three minutes to make an impression. that's how long you get with each person before its time to rotate at this speed dating event for young muslims. yeah, there's definitely many different types of muslims so for me it would be good to ask questions like your boundaries in terms of having a relationship, it would be important to know their personal connection with god. if they pray or not. i'd say if they're practising or not practising, all information that's quite important to help decide what kind of person. the organisers say the event at a london cafe's alcohol free in line with the religion‘s beliefs. i think real life meets for us was the biggest draw. there are ways, apps now, so many different platforms to meet people for muslims and other faiths, but it was the real possibility of being able to meet pe
