>> when does the holy month of ramadan fall? >> it changes every year because of the moon cycle. >> it's a lunar calendar, and oh, darn it, i'm trying to think, i can't remember, it's a certain- it's a month in the lunar calendar; i can't remember if it's the 7th or the 9th. >> no, no. it shifts because of the wide range. and i was there, and believe me, there's not a restaurant- you can't buy food- but they hear them about 2:30 in the morning, they call, "women, get up and prepare the food for your man." >> we need to get back to that. there's some interesting- it reminds me of our conversation in the previous class with- or earlier on with fundamentalist christianity, because indeed, we're still talking about religious expressions that are rooted culturally in an androcentric, patriarchal mind set. and so i don't know what we do about that- i can't possibly be an apologist for it, but it's there, and you're right. >> when you can see a white thread, that's at the time- it isn't when the sun comes up, but it's when the priests

the third pillar of islam is called the fasting of the month of ramadan. now this is the ninth month of the muslim calendar, and the muslim calendar, we must know, is a lunar calendar, so this month obviously rotates in different seasons. and this is the fasting throughout the whole of this month from dawn to dusk, which means from dawn time, the person must not eat- from the time of dawn, he must fast from eating and drinking or any kind of bread and the wrong things: back biting, telling a lie, stealing, and all those kinds of things. so this is the whole month of islam must fast. the fourth pillar is called the zakat, which means sharing one's wealth with the poor, with the needy, and this is the best kind of sharing, and it is on one's annual savings- it is not on the income, it is not a tax, rather, it is a really just obligation for sharing the wealth with those who do not have it from those who have it and who have savings. so it has a different rate according to different kinds of wealth- for example, the gold, the silver- so there are different wa

a place you can live why don't you come live with me being religious and it being the day before ramadan thinks well this this must be the act of god and goes and lives with this man over four months the established a really intense relationship all the while the informant is stoking derek's you know anger and derek says well i i really want to kill a judge and when pressed on it there can even name a judge and so the informant says well why don't we come up with a manageable plan why don't we attack a shopping mall in rockford illinois and there really admired this man who he thought was a roommate and he then says well i the informant i know an arms dealer who can provide you with weapons and we can get grenades or we can attack the shopping mall and derek side of the agrees but the problem was that there was broke he had no money at all and that was a problem the f.b.i. because they needed to buy these grenades and so the f.b.i. informant and the agent discussed it and the f.b.i. informant tells the agent well there it's got these old stereo speakers and they come up with this plot wh

you know, during ramadan last year, she would say, "look, i'm fasting, and i'm running for," what is it, miss world, miss universe, whatever it was. "after i break my fast, i'm going to be out there competing with other women," and i welcome that because it breaks the stereotype. i'd never compete in a beauty pageant, but there isn't one way to be a muslim woman, just as there isn't one way to be a latina, there isn't one way to be an african american. there's a multitude of ways. but unfortunately, in most mainstream media depictions of muslim women, it's the headscarf or you're a bad muslim woman. and not just here, in the u.s., but across the world. >> hinojosa: you know what? i'm not sure if you've been called a bad muslim woman... >> many times. >> hinojosa: you have, but the fact is that you... in a lot of ways, what you want us to do is you want us to get a broader sense of what's really going on, the conversation of this community. and so you do reveal things that are not talked about a lot, and you do take a position that is not talked about a l, and you take a l of criticis

not against the united states but against ramadan these four things give you some clue as to why he wasnvolved. one other thing, he spent, at the most, a few months in chechnya: he was born in kyrgyzstan where serbians were shipped by stalin in 1994. it's clear from his web page, it's, you know, russian equivalent of the facebook clear that was romanticizing his historic, sort of spiritual mother land and all the abuse that it took from russia and all the struggle for islam went with that. >> bret: tamerlan is derevived from item -- tamerlane, final thoughts general and then charles? >> this is going to take us relook how we are doing here and certainly process and procedures. overall we are probably going to feel pretty good. american people are going to have a sense of awareness about events like this. i think we can go on with our lives to be quite frank about it i think we have the resilience to do that have to take a hard look internationally though in terms of what is going on with our strategy dealing with international terrorism, the al qaeda specifically. i think the initial st
