black power meant radical social cultural political and economic self-determination. they have political determination. people are equating that term with violence. the decision was collective. they need to start defining political and social phenomenon for themselves. even though their are disputes and disagreements, they find common ground in a shared love, especially poor black people. interesting now, we talk about the politics of ferguson, the black people were the poorest of the poor it was not just students. it was the poorest of the poor. denied constitutional rights we think about king and carmichael. that will become a very close. and in the course of doing research one of the most fascinating things was the antiwar activism and the biggest antiwar activist in the united states was carmichael,, and he is one of the people who inspires martin luther king to come out forcefully against the war. he gives a powerful speech at the university of california berkeley. over 10,000 people are their , and he criticizes the war in vietnam and talks to white students abo

not a s why we are de-radicalization program. we are you preventing radicalization program. >> preventing is infinitely harder, by the way. we want to get it right now and when you can have a much better impact. i would just highlight, ten times over, appoint just made about the shrunken window of radicalization. everywhere -- this is what about -- e talking this -- tthis model in the past where someone would have to go over a period of time and be radicalized. it is yesterday's model. we are talking about a week and weeks in some cases. people who were not on your radar and shouldn't be on your radar, and all of a sudden they are because they traveled. of the biggest problems is that it is not happening in the happening in s not your bookshops. it is happening online. the social media phenomenon here is tremendous. perhaps most -- i highlight just two. one is that this is a two-way conversation. literally talk to someone, often someone who can do neighborhood, what is it like there? which type of north face jacket should i bring

we think about stokely, he is not just an activist for radical democracy. after he becomes a black power activist, he is a full-blown antiwar activist, anti- imperialist activist and american hegemony around the world which is crucially important because he provides the context for the black panther party. they go to alabama and help local people organize for democracy. no black public officials. fifty years later we have similar instances, but in 65 it was hugely dangerous. they organize an organization whose nickname we will be the black panther party which travels all the way to oakland, california. he provides a platform for the antiwar movement that different radical activists will participate and support in the 50s. his legacy is a transformative legacy. why is that? well, he leaves the united states of america. the reason is because of his international travel in 1967 he does a five-month tour, he is in london. he is in cuba with fidel castro. castro says carmichael is under his protection. he is in algeria with the revolutionary algerian leaders off

people beingop radicalized? >> if you spent time with the police and intelligence services, they can give you come as examples of people who are pulled away from radicalization. we need to triage people in the right way. at the end of the day, we have to allow the police and the prosecuting system to work to tackle those who are threatening. >> you talked about the darknet in relation to child abuse. fact, the darknet in relation to terrorism is much darker and deeper. it is used to finance terrorism. the internet companies who came to your seminar promise to do various things. should we be doing so much more as far as these efforts are concerned? have you looked at the possibility of setting up an internet watch foundation for those who want to report? isn't this all happening far too late? think -- we are doing all of those things. interesting, last week the internet companies took massive steps forward. i said you have to stop people from using vulgar terms to search for images. they said, that is impossible.

you are far more radical people out there. >> different degrees of radicals, but he's easily comfortableround people who have very radical extremist views. >> you know, that doesn't bother me so much as this -- >> no? >> i think what you point out earlier is the really pertinent fact. you look back at al sharpton's history, tawana brawley is the one that people are familiar with. but there's much more. there's much more in terms of anti-semitic behavior and inciting violence that leads some connection to death and all the rest. putting on phony civil rights marches. >>> but hanging out with reverend wright for 20 years and all the incendiary comments, gd america, america's chickens come home to roost, he knows his history. 83 times at the white house. we shouldn't interpret anything from that that the president is comfortable around people with radical viewpoints. >> i don't have any -- i think in the black community you're going to run into people who have far more radical viewpoints than al sharpton. i don't have any problem with that. it's sharpton's history in terms of the lies -- ju

people with radical views that i would argue are out of touch with the mainstream. let's go to the president. on every high profile racial case he's weighed in on. cambridge police, trayvon martin, this case, he's 0 for 3, a three-time losing on the wrong side and rushing to judgment. here's the proof. >> i don't know, not having been in and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that, but i think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. number two, that the cambridge police acted stupidly. my main message is to the parents of trayvon martin. you know, if i had a son, he'd look like trayvon. i know the world also took notice of the small american city of ferguson, missouri, where a young man was killed and a community was divided. so yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions. >> juan, let me go through this. the cambridge police didn't act stupidly. traben, we had an eyewitness that saw trayvon grounding and pounding on george zimmerman. hold on. and in this case where he had we have ethnic and racial tensions. in every case,

but being radicalized by the exploitation of social media. this guy was using all avenues, posting on youtube, he was having his hostages calling a local radio station. he was taking a playbook right out of isis to basically spread the word. that's the problem, it's inspiring more and more of these attacks. again, this was a lone wolf, a crackpot, a claimed cleric, if you will, a muslim cleric, but by all indications this guy was really a criminal leading down to probably a terrorist and the jihadist calling. but it's growing. the fact this guy is from iran really probably a shia, i would assume, with me making no connection to isis makes no sense. the majority of people getting killed in iraq and syria are shia, being killed by isis or isil, they're predominantly sunni and taking that sunni strand. this is a larger fight within islam itself about addressing these problems and how are they not pushing these out because people are getting radicalized. and it's not just happening on social media. it has-s happening in mosques around the world a

they go, well, we're preventing radicalization. but it also said these individuals were mott suspected to be associated with violence.

a known radical.e sent very nasty letters to the mem family members of australian soldiers that died in battle in afghanistan. this gives you a pause how you balance the issue in the united states between free speech and hate speech? and at that level the point where police should be able to go ahead and arrest somebody or take somebody into custody because they advocate this kind of violence? >> clearly evident this problem will be with us for quite some time. it will not be over with the end of a war in some foreign country. these people are hell-bent to kill innocent people and will stop at nothing to do that. and, ab is right in a free society there is nothing you can do about it. you can't prevent all these things from happening, which i think is why most americans, when they see this stuff play out, whether is in australia or here in the united states, they think about guns. and it's why, they think about personal gun ownership and being able to protect yourself, protect your phamly, protect you

we will always be the face of this coalition, and we must remain vigilant about the threat of radicalization or the threat of lone wolf attacks. again, i want to thank both of our witnesses for appearing here today, i look forward to a productive discussion on this incredibly challenging effort to counter radicalization, stem the flow of foreign fighters in and out of syria and prevent future threats to the united states and our allies. i yield back. >> the chair will now recognize other members for opening statements. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from south carolina, mr. wilson. >> on sunday both the fbi and the department of homeland security issued warnings to american military personnel within the united states regarding possible threats from isil.

which d to look at programs of d radicalization are working best -- de-radicalization are working the best. we seem to have an effect in some universities and some countries. we are up against. it happened to the prison where we are responsible for people. able to recruit enough who are prepared to challenge the narrative? which you would expect them to do because it is not the narrative of genuine islam. bailey is a real challenge. only able to recruit enough to do that? >> i guess we are. there is a particular course educating prisoners who are new in the muslim ed tackling head-on the -- so, this was one of the purposes of the extremism task force. you have all the different -- prisons, ties colleges, universities -- it one that has to -- tthat might be the highest priority -- but because the extremism task force exist, they know they have to report back to me on the action they take on this agenda. >> the "sunday times" has recently reported that they taken away the passport of not just him, but the entire family. 22 passports were removed from the entire family. if that's what we

the radicalism of the fundamental claim has to be understood. thomas jefferson said something like this, too. there is an exchange of letters between jefferson and madison where jefferson makes something very much like paine's claim. that every law should expire after a generation. madison right back this wonderful letter where he gently says -- if you think about what things will look like on the days that the laws expire, i'm not sure that you want to do this. [laughter] the radicalism of jefferson's kind of liberalism goes that far and there are times when he was willing to take it to its logical occlusion and times where he wasn't. paine always took it to its logical conclusion and it results in arguments like those. >> this is great. i have a follow-up. i want to put in one more plug during our remaining 15 audience for our c-span audience to treat us your questions. tweet us your questions. by the end of his days, jefferson was questioning aboutls, as we will learn in our final talk of the evening. in that sense, what was pain and and jeff

they can be radicalized in our own u.s. cities. we have to do is we have to start from the top. the president needs to be able to say the word, radical islamists. we have to be able to know what we're fighting. we cannot hide from this. it doesn't mean that all followers of islam are radicals. it means that there are radical islamists that are trying to kill us. we need to point that out. we need to have policies that go after them. and we need to not be afraid to call things terrorists. it's not -- you know, not just vandalism. it's not workplace violence. we have to call these problems out and then fund them and all go after it. whether or not there are campaign promises that somehow look like, you know, they're up against the reality of terrorism, we need to have a president who says you know what, i thought that i wanted to bring all the troops home. that really was my goal. but when i got an intelligence briefing and realized the danger i can't do that. because it will make americans unsafe. he needs to be honest, he needs to

we must also remember that the process of foreign fighters joining isil and the group's radicalization of westerners are still in the beginning stages. it took years before we saw the results of individuals joining osama bin laden and al qaeda in afghanistan, and the complete threat posed by isil foreign fighters remains to be seen. yes it is true that the problem of foreigners joining a terrorist group is not a new problem, this should not allow us, however, to be complacent, the sheer number of foreign fighters to isil is cause for alarm and any -- we must look rat all options available to us to prevent fighters from traveling to syria and iraq from returning to the united states and the recruitment in the first place. whether that is tightening travel restrictions on those who try to enter certain countries or go back to the u.s., increasing pejities, providing support to terrorist groups, enhancing cooperation with our allies. we have to have a realistic debate about the measures necessary to take on foreign fighters, to monitor them here and overseas to arrest and detain them, bef

>> i have a question about the rise of radical islam in southeast asia. you mentioned, started to talk about it. we were just in cambodia where i heard references to the presence of some islamic fundamentalism. of course it exists in indonesia. that's part one. part two is what we've been reading about the repression of muslims in myanmar indian-china, will that create a kind of radicalism? >> great question. it's interesting. since come in and some random work we've done over the last couple of months we have looked at the numbers, levels of jihadists activity. between 2010-2013 it was a 58% increase in the number of jihadist groups. most of those tend to be the middle east, not southeast asia. there's a doubling of jihadist fighters during that same time period. and the rough doubling in the number of attacks by these groups. most of that is happening, interestingly, in north africa and the levant, syria and iraq. southeast asia has seen some swings back and forth over the past several years. the philippines, for example, that have been weakened severel

terrorist -- the biggest radical terrorist movement is in the name of islam.and i don't see the moderates joining together to take back their religion, which is being hijacked. i think it's time, don't you? >> look, first of all, you can't hijack islam pu can get on the bandbaggen and use -- no, not islam. the name may be hijacked but the religion is not hijacked. >> doesn't the koran talk about jihad and holy war and not taking christians and jews for your friends. isn't that being taken literally by jihadists to justify the treatment of mirnnorities and women but people of other faiths? >> not necessarily being used by jihadists, but those who don't understand their religion, people who use it as an excuse to unleash their anger on. >> but they say they're practicing your religion. >> they can say that just like i can put on a pair of camouflaged clothing and say i'm a part of the united states army, but am i really a part of it? so what i'm saying is there's a problem. but the problem is not necessarily tied to the religion of islam. it's tied to the use of

the current events in the german democratic republic present a radical change with the past. their meaning is a revolutionary renewal of socialism. current changes, even if many have been surprised by their speed and extent have not been porn out overnight. they have become possible or necessary thanks to the new thinking and foreign policy introduced by the soviet union and other socialist countries in which my country's german democratic republic had an active part. this policy has radically changed the international situation and created a favorable atmosphere for moving away from the arms race and the policy of confrontation to the policy of relaxation of tensions and cooperation among peoples. the current events have become possible and necessary because of a number of objective and subjective reasons deriving from the internal development of the socialist society and the german democratic republic in recent years. in a way, unthinkable still a few months ago, millions of people have expressed their wish for a change. they have thus demonstrated their determination and t

it would change if iran gets it, because it's another variety of radical islam.that's why the pakistani -- i would not lay it at the obama administration. this after all is a revenge act that the taliban, pakistani is launching against pakistani government which has actually stood up against them and is conducting a pretty serious campaign in north waziristan, so this is an attempt to react on the part of the pakistanis. but i would draw a distinction between this and what happened in australia. australia was a marginalized, unstable guy acting on his own who was given a script. but i don't see it as an act of islamic terror, he didn't even know exactly what he was doing. what we're talking about here in pakistan is a deliberate act and to hear josh ernest refer to the violent stendencies of these extremist groups r u you not able to say, islamic radicalism, the barbarism of islamic radicalism, which essentially will give it a connection with isis and other groups. this really matched a discussion of extremism really does in the help the cause. >> an attempt by t

police storm the cafÉ held by that radical islamists. come on in, drag.s in london. >> we have been talking to the police in australia. it was an ugly and to a very bizarre and lethal siege. what we are learning from the police is that the siege is over. it ended in a very tricky way. let's backtrack very briefly. you have an iranian refugee with a criminal record and a twisted islamic mindset. sydney taking probably about 20 hostages with a pump action shotgun. holding them for 16 hours. making them stand in front of a window. five managed to escape about halfway through the siege. then the negotiations began between the police and this individual. negotiations that the police had hoped would make this thing go away. according to reporting, it is believed that the hostage taker, 49 years old, fired the first shot at either police or the hostages. allowing them to flee unharmed. then they went in big time. a 32nd or so round of heavy ammunition. then, we saw maybe as many as five stretchers coming out of that cafÉ indicating that there were injured hostag

you do not have large dense populations of peace abiding muslims and then people attempting to radicalize them. clerics often times, you see it in france and the uk, i don't know what they are in australia, but you don't have that very negative element that is tolerated for fear that there could be a greater social implication. these clerics that peddle this hatred are tolerated if countries likes the uk because the authorities just don't really know what to do with them. offense times, even if they're incite something sort of hatred, i don't think you have that to the same extent in this country. >> i think that's true. i think we're -- there are some limit -- many limitations to what we can do here in the u.s., any type of rhetoric on the part of a cleric that's essentially a call to violence, or very violent rhetoric, they're going to jump all over it. unfortunately, that's not the case in other areas and i think we have a greater level of assimilation with the muslim community in the u.s. and although there are many lone wolf candidates out there, i think there are more safeguards and

because individual nature of the threat, the individual nature of the radicalization process, and of the you know operational process, it goes from radicalization to being operational is very personal. and sometimes very short. however, i think with every threat, i look at it as an equation. threat equal intention plus capability. the intention will always be there. you're always going to have people who want to attack us. will they have the capability to do it? that is what our system is designed, the national security system is designed to identify and disrupt. however they need to be successful only once. we need to be successful all the time. >> that was ali suffant, chairman and chief executive of the soufffat group. we'll return in just two minutes. training? >> investigating a dark side of the law >> they don't have the money to puchace their freedom... >> for some...crime does pay... >> the bail bond industry has been good to me.... i'll make a chunk of change off the crime... fault lines... al jazeera america's hard hitting... >> they're locking the door... ground breaking..

it is primarily about the threat from radical islamist extremism as we heard, but not only.those are not the only threats that we face. and this is a very important part of the dialogue. when you're dealing with immigrant communities in general of whatever religious or ethnic persuasion, many come from places in the world where having a relationship with law enforcement or intelligence is anathema, right? you don't welcome that relationship because in many places in the world where people are coming from that debt can't be good. and understanding that here it can be good and is good is something that has to be taught and learned and a relationship that has to be earned. so it's great to do that. if that's all we are doing, we are doomed to tremendous and very fast and painful failure. one of the things that we are least comfortable about is having a discussion about ideology. and one of the reasons we have that discomfort, it's not just because of freedom of expression, it's not just because of the establishment clause, it's also because we are uncomfortable with the idea th

pope francis, even though will be greeted as a great novelty and speaking out of a radical prophetictradition which has been consistent in the church throughout the popes of the 20 century since the late 19th century, but doing so is what he sees as the contemporary equivalent now of the debate about industrialization and the market in the 19th century. the same kind of moral critique. look at the devastation and the impact the economic model is having. if we have an economic system which produces tremendous wealth, treatment is growth in many parts of the world, but produces poverty, chronic long-term unemployment in other parts of the world and results in devastation of the environment, he is going to say this is not a system that works. we need a system where the human beings come first. rather than making human beings particularly the poor, instruments of a machine which benefits the few. that will be the kind of response or critique, if you like that francis will be making and this encyclical. it looks to generate an extraordinary amount of debate. my understanding for those inv

so it's clear there's a radical islamist bent to this individual. whether he was directed by isis, we don't have evidence at this time. clearly he was inspired, though, by isis. i think that's very clear from his postings. >> is there any indication -- anything we know about the timing, why this occurred, the hostage-holding, right now? >> well, i think it's important to note that after the air strikes began in iraq and syria, isis began a very impressive social media campaign calling for these types of attacks, these lone wolf attacks and they have obviously connections with australia, western europe and the united states. that's what makes u.s. officials most concerned is the idea of this type of thing happening also in the united states. so i think it's a direct result of the september order, if you will, from isis to have people that are more bent towards radicalization to start conducting attacks. that's what we saw unfortunately in sydney. >> this location in sydney, right in the heart of sydney, some are saying compared to new york, it would

there were some indicators that the level of radicalization, but he hadn't voiced that he was, that he had potential for violence or violent extremism. maybe it's hindsight to say these things, but i'm not sure i agree with everything that was said there. >> if we take the flag away, if this was a guy who was just having some issues and was, as the prime minister said, deluded, in the days before isis, we wouldn't have called this guy a terrorist, would we? we would have called him a crack pot or a loon. >> caller: that's right. we need to be careful of what we, we feed to need to be caref what we call these people. i'm not sure it's correct that we can call them deluded either. he certainly had mental health issues and had spent time in prison, which probably didn't help his mental health issues, but we really need to be careful how we phrase things. i'm not even sure if we should be calling this a death cult. we need to be very careful on what sort of terminology we use for this type of actor. i'm wondering what sort of attention this would have drawn if we took away the islamic flag

thompson was obsessed with radical islams with 277 search terms for jihad. a former ranking member of the house intelligence committee says, the u.s. is handicapped bit wikileaks revelations and democrat-led senate intelligence committee report on the cia interrogation. >> the tools that are essential to us, they now know what they are and what they do, they create work arounds so they don't provide us access to the kind of information that we need. >> today in a series of raids, french authorities confirm the arrest of 10 people with france's homeland security minister calling disruption of jihadi recruitment networks to iraq and syria the highest priority. lou? lou: thank you, catherine herridge. police in pennsylvania are searching for a former marine reservist suspected in the shooting deaths of at least six people at three houses in the philadelphia suburbs. they were shot and killed before dawn today. investors don't know how bradley william stone is moving around but he is suspected of killing his recently-engaged ex-wife and several members of her fa

their politics were considered radical. so we can understand why this sort of interest would be there. well, we are preventing radicalization. but it also said these individuals were not suspected to be associated with violence. these were not actually terrorists. these were people who on the basis of secret judgments made by a secret agency with no public oversight and with no authorizing legislation had decided that a certain brand of political viewpoints would authorize the intrusive monitoring collection and eventual disbursement of your private records related to your sexual activities. this is a fundamental thing. -- this is a fundamentally un-american thing. we have to ask ourselves, why do we allow this in the first place? ok, maybe it happened, maybe mistakes were made. but how do we hold people accountable? i think this follows to a fundamental point. i don't want to be on bob. he came to the forum. he is kind of what we've got. he is doing a hard job. we all know he is trying to do his best. he said something fun

targeting suspected radicals. >> this is the body of one of 21 suspected radical muslims allegedly gunned down by kenya's police since 2012. he predicted his death when i met him last year. >> i am the one who is being terrorized. my life is the one that is in danger. >> al jazeera has spoke investigative reporter has spoken with the spokesmam. >> since i have employed i've killed over 50 suspects. >> britain and america have credibilitied millions of dollars to kenya's police. and officers claim they know about the killings because they provide some of the intelligence in police reports like these obtained by al jazeera. >> do you think that the british know that you guys are elimina eliminating terrorist targets. >> they do. once they have the information, you. >> reporter: the head of the international bar said that western governments are complicit in the killings, and could face charges. >> if there are individuals found not just training, but who have been found to be director, supervising, targeting individuals who in turn would be targeted in a killing, then there is a criminal re

the second is radicalization. before we start, i think it might be right after the events of yesterday -- >> i was going to give you time at the end, but my like to do it now. >> i would just like to pay tribute to those murdered in australia. and today's outrage in pakistan. i'm sure everyone in this house and committee will have their thoughts with the families of the ones who perished. in australia, there are tales of bravery and sacrifice that are being told about what happened in that cafe. that is what we would expect from that remarkable country. what has happened in pakistan simply devised believe -- defies belief. it is a dark day for humanity when something like this happens on the scale. there is no police system in the world that can justify this sort of appalling act. what this shows is the worldwide by thethat is posed velocity of extremist islamic terrorism. it has nothing to do with islam, a religion of. this is a perversion. we have to realize the scale of what we face in this country and around t

the threat of radicalization is already here.ng people have left the country to fight for these extremists. we must take action at home, but we must also have a comprehensive strategy to defeat these extremists abroad. >> two questions he has put to himself. how long will the war last, and when will mission creep set in? >> this will not take months but years. but i believe we have to be prepared for that commitment. >> the prime minister places trust in the iraqi army. the problem is that we armed the army and they ran away and now isil has their arms. is he seriously contending that by airstrikes alone we can rollback isil or is this just politics? >> i am not claiming that by airstrikes alone we can rollback this problem. what this problem requires is a comprehensive strategy including a well formed iraqi government and armed forces because they, in the end, will be the ones that have to defeat this on the ground. >> will he recognize that killing extremists does not kill their ideas but can spread their ideas and that getting

to ask, what ways are we working with the nations to fight this radical islam ideology? is this joint command a signal? >> thank you very much mdm. first, i will do this in reverse order -- on the issue -- of funding that would probably be best asked to the treasury department. dhs plays a small role in not in terms of criminal investigations. >> a specific threat to our servicemen and women -- >> on that one, let me go back to what we said over the weekend. there were statements -- public statements by isil in september to the effect of attacks toward -- we are not aware of a specific threat. we do want to be able to have members of the state and local law enforcement and members of the military community, and .their families take reasonable precaution to reduce the risk of events taking place. we are very mindful of the techniques -- the use of social media that you described -- and that isil is able to use. >> ambassador, on the issue of our allies, are they fighting back against the islam ideology? do you have any info about whether they're willing to put boots on th
