about. >> guest: first of all sharia, and this is the fundamental thing to the member, sharia is inherently incompatible with the u.s. constitution. >> host: that is what faizal says of ground zero when told he was demoted. why is that? if we have people telling us that it is compatible in the constitution, why? >> guest: there is not only a religious component to sharia, this is an all encompassing ideological system that controls every aspect of the muslims life and if they have their way it would also control every aspect of and on muslim's life. sharia no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion. women's rights of the window. gays, stoned to death under the sharia society. jews and christians, second-class citizens. that's only the beginning. there's also a mandate to wage violent jihad conquests. it's not a spiritual struggle as you mentioned would like to frame it but jihad as a violent ideology of conquest. this is mandated under sharia law. >> host: okay. if that is true and they are telling us they are following a strict adherence to a religion they all believe mandates sharia law

the endgame is a world governed by sharia. they would like to establish what they call the caliphate. that is basically an islamic superstate come all of the world's muslim nations together in one united bloc to take on the west and take on all infidels and subvert them to fill all of sharia. that is the endgame it doesn't matter whether it is a brotherhood, al qaeda, that is the shared in a game but the endgame is the same. >> host: if the muslim brotherhood is a kind of overarching holding company if you will of the start ideologies, would it be fair to say that some of their tactical units would be organizations like the council on the economic relations with the muslim student association or the north american islamic trust, you know these obviously because they are part of the holy land foundation trial proceeding, but how much or how little should we trust these organizations because from my experience, they are very astute politically on this country. they know exactly what to say and when to say it and how to take i th

would you like to see stricter interpretation of sharia? would you like to see women given subordinate rule -- roles? what is your vision? >> i would like those egyptian people to ask me face to face, not via media. and we are -- >> you can't talk to 18 million egyptians so i'm going to do it for you. >> not all egyptians watch cnn. so, they are facing us everywhere. first of all, we are not going to catch power in egypt. >> but what would you -- what would you change about egypt today? >> we are going to have independent democratic civil country. this is our main goal now. and i think this is gaining a very national consensus. the people are the only source of authority. the only source of authority is the people themselves. >> so, would you support the kind of civil law egypt has now rather than a religious law? >> in islam, you don't have a religious law. in islam you have a civil law. civil law means that the people have decision in their parliament after keeping in mind difference of sharia, difference of islam. >> would non-muslims ha

herman cain saying he doesn't believe in sharia law.o a comment he made about muslims in his cabinet and he said sharia law has influenced court decisions in oklahoma and new jersey. new jersey there was an incident that was appealed and repealed on appeal in 2010. voters in oklahoma did ban judges from relying on sharia law when deciding cases but it was a pre-emptive move. not based on a judge doing it or muslims in oklahoma intending to institute sharia law. in new jersey in 2009, a judge refused to give a woman a restraining order because of her husband's muslim belief. that was overturned later. we want do look at dial testing to see in realtime, viewers reactions to tonight. tom foreman joins me from rochester, new hampshire. >> hi, anderson. we've had a fantastic evening with a group of republicans and independents. some with tea party leanings. the first thing ta that produced a big spike as you watch the results. the red is republicans. the yellow is independents, cain when it came to right to work laws. there's been a big figh

the end game is a world governed by sharia.hey want to establish what they call a califate, an islamic superstate, all the nations together in one united block to take on the west, to take on all infidels and subvert them to the law of sharias. that's the end game, doesn't matter the brotherhood or al-qaeda, that's the game. they have different tactics, but the end game is the same. >> host: let's talk about the means to the end because if the brotherhood is the overarching holding company if you will, of the strict ideology, would it be fair to say that some of their tactical units would be organizations like the counsel on american islamic relations or the muslim student association or the northern islamic trust? you know these obviously because they are part of the holyland found cation trial proceeding, but how much should we trust these organizations? from my experience they are very political in this country, know what to say, how to say it and how to take criticism about perhaps a threat and turn it into the plight again

and sharia law, radical islam, would you agree or disagree that radical islam would place sharia law as the primary law of their religion? would you agree or disagree? >> absolutely. >> that is a central tenet to their agenda. >> yes. that is what some of the material that is in the prison system, videos and lectures are about the creation of all worldwide muslim domination of sharia law. >> kevin james case, that was -- >> could you also comment, that supersede the constitution of the united states? >> it absolutely does. only one document. >> i agree. the reality is for a committed jihadists sharia law is god's law and the only law they have to follow. everything else is man-made law and that is not something they feel has any authority over them. >> i would agree. i would offer this. in our out reach and engagement with muslim communities we recognize and muslim communities recognize that the law of the land is the constitution. there may be sharia principles in their communities that they look at similar to jewish law but the rule of law is the constitution of the united states.

schools and hospitals are open under sharia law. >> reporter: they're also eager to display a softer, almost enlightened side saying they're letting this bridge be rebuilt. they're keen to show themselves mingling among welcoming locals. >> we don't have any security problems here says one trader. we don't fear thieves like we did before. another says business now is not as good as we had before, but we're fine with the taliban. >> reporter: it's not clear how genuine these smiles are, but this small taliban thiefdom has opened up while nato's surge is at full strength, leaving many wondering what they'll do as nato starts to leave. >> the taliban has taken over in this town. is this a sign of things to come or a sign of nato's worst fears? >> reporter: well, i think we should point out nato's reaction to images like this. they're very clear that talib taliban's role is fleeting. they consider things like the video you've just seen which the cameraman we commissioned to go and see, they consider it part of the taliban propaganda network. we're hearing from officials this part is held

. >> i do not believe in sharia law in american courts. i believe in american laws in american courts, period. >>. [ applause ] >> there have been instances in new jersey, there was an instance in oklahoma where muslims did try to influence court decisions with sharia law. i was simply saying very emphatically american laws in american courts. >> the crowd certainly liked it in that room. does that have anything to do with being president of the sus and how did he acquit himself last night? >> i actually think newt gingrich gave a better answer than herman cain. i took over herman's radio show in atlanta, but there were a lot of phone calls even from die hard herman fans scratching their head, like they knew obama and pawlenty would come up. newt gingrich gave a better response for him on this. it is not going to hurt him in the republican primary. heck, state of oklahoma passed a statewide referendum on sharia law. doesn't hurt republicans, but it is an off topic issue when jobs are out there. >> you say jobs. i want to get one more in he

law but all muslims practice sharia law you know you get in kind of a catch twenty two situation there but you know i just i can't help but feel little bit of love for herman cain the underdog even though he is a crazy total out there bigot just like the rest of the. song was kind of doing it for her. and they kept saying a raise let's raise some came let's raise again and it kind of all sound like they're saying like something about mccain mccain mccain it. looks the same like trying to play off of some of that you know lots of elections. they're like i don't like are you mark against them where i just know i should vote for you we have to revive it. well let's talk about fox news for a moment if we went on our web site today check out what's the top story on fox news and one of the top stories was that iran is building its secret missiles herb's secret missile installation in venezuela oh just some guy decided to fear monger about that right about that but i just thought of fox news gets away with this stuff i mean i understand it's not the rest of the media's job to sit there for th

sharia law doesn't have any legal standing in the united states.the only law of course the courts will enforce indian estates is law that's enacted by legislatures, and the common law, the, a judge made law. the result of millions of judicial opinions year after year after year, interpreting previous traditional opinions. it's kind of customary law. sharia law is never quite -- either legislation or in common law adjudication. now, you know, i think is a bit of a controversy floating around. i forget the source of the controversy. it may be someone, you know, i'm cautiously said under certain circumstances sharia law might be recognized in u.s. courts. there's a very limited set of circumstances where american courts will enforce foreign law. this is pretty technical stuff, and it's pretty dull so i will keep it short. but basically suppose there's a dispute between two people in morocco. suppose those two people end up in the united states and they bring a lawsuit against each other in the united states. so the american court has to perform what's

individuals and organizations -- who have sought to make this, fabricate this, so-called creeping shariathreat, have tried to make it part of our national scourse -- seek to divide us as americans. this is precisely, at the end, what they seek to do is to marginalize and divide a specific group of americans against other groups of americans." >>> another poll out this week shows that evangelical leaders in the so-called global south -- africa, latin america and asia -- are much more optimistic about the future of evangelicalism than those from the global north, which includes europe and north america. according to the pew forum on religion and public life, a majority of leadersrom the south, 58%, believe that evangelicals are gaining influence in their countries. anwhile, mt leaders from the north, 66, say evangelicals are losing influence. the survey found that evangelical leaders around the world agree on many social issues. a large majority across the board said abortion is usually or always wrong. 84% also said that society should discourage homosexuality. >>> the survey was conducte

secondly, yes, i do not believe in sharia law in american courts.american laws in american courts, period. there have been instances -- [ applause ] there have been instances in new jersey, there was an instance in oklahoma where muslims did try to influence court decisions with sharia law. i was simply saying very emphatically american laws in american courts. >> on that point, governor romney let me come to you on this. mr. cain said he would have a purity test or a loyalty test, ask a muslim a few questions before he hired them, but he wouldn't ask those questions of a christian or jew. >> you are restating something i did not say, if i may? >> let's make it clear. >> when you interview a person for a job, you look at their -- you look at their work record, you look at their resume, and then you have a one on one personal interview. during that personal interview, like in the business world and anywhere else, you know how committed they are to the constitution and the mission of the organization. >> i asked this question the other night, you said

they want to impose sharia law on the people in the south. there is unfortunately a tremendous amount of racism involved in this. what we have had been, since independence and 56, was the marginalization of all these other groups around here who feel they have no stake and where the power is in sudan. the people in khartoum have actually been rather clever and skillful in the way that they have conducted ethnic cleansing. what they have done is typically there is a pattern to this and it has been repeated to this day, right now in abyei. they use their air force to bomb villages and what they call softening up. this has been followed not by regular soldiers but i'm malicious of local disgruntled, poor arab nomads whom they pay and they do the dirty work. this has happened since 1983 and since sudan 2 million out of 99 people who live there. there is a population of 6 million people, half of whom have now been made homeless. that is 90%. human rights watch reckons 90% of black villages in darfur have been destroyed and empty and the deaths of

where do we start here not everyone in the muslim world is out to impose sharia law the world they're not all trying to form a giant muslim caliphate believe me i think that's been watching a little too much glenn beck because since the arab spring began glenn has been pushing the caliphate ery pretty hard but back to pat i'm sorry but a sane person can't simply state that the muslim population is just like the nazis yes there are some muslims that are extremist we also have christians here in the us who are also experienced when you just made broad statements like that pat that's why people call you a bigot and others call you stupid and crazy so maybe it's time for you to retire stop spreading islamophobia the whole name of ratings and donations and that's why i found roberson is tonight's time winner. yesterday president obama participated in the morial day ceremonies here in washington d.c. to remember those who have served our country he also laid a wreath at arlington national cemetery to remember those who have died but what about those who come back alive and scarred from war

the panel here that radical islam with place sharia law is the primary law for their religion?ould you agree or disagree to that? >> absolutely. .. committed to jihadists fishery a lot is god's law and that is the only they have to follow. everyone else's man made and that isn't something that they feel has any authority over them in their actions. >> i would agree however i would offer that and our outreach and engagement with muslim communities we recognize the muslim communities recognize the lookit similar to the jewish law but the long will of the land as the constitution of the united states. >> that's correct. >> i would add the muslim community in the united states is in compliance and well-educated but they do accept the constitution of law of the land. >> specifically radical islam you would agree then what it take sure real law would supersede and radical islam for a statement? >> i think that is the distinction that needs to be made. what i'm talking about this from a radical jihadist mentality, not mainstream muslims. and i think he would have to put violent radica

arabia and the sunni muslim clerics who wish to impose a historically questionable interpretation of sharia law throughout central asia. the issue of women's rights has become a political foot babble used originally by the bush administration to help justify the invasion in 2001, and then ten years later it is being used as a justification for remaining in afghanistan and for legitimizing a military solution. but the truth is in the meantime, women's rights are being bargained away. the time has come for progressive muslims to demand an accounting of their arch conservative brethren, insist that a standardized interpretation of this issue be accepted by the highest authorities and move on. this will remove the pressure from afghanistan's fragile democracy, place the burden where it belongs; on the sponsors of radicalism. but if anything stands in the way of resolving the afpak conundrum,s it is pakistan. of all the regional interests invested in creating peace and prosperity for afghanistan, only pakistan deserves the right to actively undermine any and all initiatives that don't serve it o

my experience in the tribal areas a sweeping taliban victory of afghanistan would move to impose sharia law across the world. their belief is they can defeat westerners who fear death and are unwilling to endure sacrifice to be reaffirmed. no clear message has emerged. in our war wariness in this country, do we risk not stabilizing in the country and getting a result? >> i don't think very many people were able to find a result. the model we're using isn't an appropriate model in the future and in afghanistan. one of the key points -- this is an area that senator reid and i may disagree on. i do not believe we need a permanent presence in afghanistan. i think it's counterproductive to what we're trying to do strategically. it's enormously costly. we are ignoring -- excuse me, we are ignoring the realityings of a serious emergence in asia that will have more impact on our strategic future than anything going on in this region? >> what about libya? >> i don't think we need a permanent presence in iraq and i think we need a presence in afghanistan, pakistan, but that presence hopefully one

we need: a victory that secures our borders and make sure there is no sharia law in our courts or banks in this country. i think we need to try anyone that the terrorists in military tribunals and not civilian courts. we needed military policy. we must maintain the strongest and best military in the world and fulfill all commitments to our veterans. we need to maintain fourth projections in the forward to deter enemies as often as possible. when someone is a threat to our country and will not play well in the sandbox and we have is every other alternative, we have to assess who are they, what are the, what do they have, what are their strengths, and whether their weaknesses. we have to establish a force package that brings to bear at an overwhelming force. you have rules and engagement than levels the playing field for our troops and takes away the unfair and immune manages and keep the american fighting forces under the command of american leaders. you have a clear in state vision so you know what the victory will look like. you shake -- u-shaped the battlefield. you dictate the outcom
