muslims believe god's word was revealed and is contained in the koran. 30 years after mohamed's death in 632, an internal split was between sunni and shia, but didn't deter the spread of the religion. in 1095, the pope called upon european christians to recapture the holyland. the campaigns and the crusade would change everything. >> the muslim response was minimal until they committed the following. where islam was born. >> the holiest places in islam were threatened by foreigners and the call went out for a jihad to drive the infidels from the lands. >> that aroused the jihad that drove the crusaders out. this clearly saying your time has passed. your religion is superseded. this is the final word. move over. >> despite this great jihad, western influence is in the middle east to stay. for centuries, they came and went at will. from napoleon to the french and british. after the great war in 1923, the empire collapsed, ending it. three powerful factions of islam emerged. a hard core group of fundamentalists took part. by 1929, a second radical movement, the muslim brotherhood. now shia scholars asked their followers to rid the

up in theory in a muslim home but i never really knew whether -- i knew i was muslim and i didn't know whether we were sunni or shiite until i went to high school. this is not a concept i grew up with, sunni or shiite. it also became of age in the 50s and 60s and while america had their own 60s we had our 60s. they were basically much different. in this country, people rebel against the a more, against, you know, this certain dominance that brought them, male-dominated society but we were of porter, internationalism inside colonialism in that era also shaped a lot of people of my generation. i also grew up with strong women. the concept of arab women is weak, submissive and they have no voice is a big mess. i tell you it's a big mess. i grew up with a strong woman. my mother came from a family that was very rich and she hated housework and she had nothing to do with it. she worked outside the house and she owned her own business and she had a print shop and she managed all of her male staff. her pride didn't come from.

difference between iran fans of shia islam and the who these brand desired the muslims inside yemen are actually much more similar to sunni than they are to twelve or shias who make up the majority of the iranian population but of course saudi arabia for political reasons has tried to turn these you know forty percent of yemenis into suppose that shia because understate the hobby as i'm in saudi arabia you know these are non muslims they're heretics they're polytheists and what that sectarian narrative does is it provides ammunition to saudi arabia by which they can demonize yemeni muslims and centrally consider them inferior and not muslim and then also try to tie them to iran western officials say iran is running weapons typically sees what evidence is there that the allegations that iran is sending these weapons via boat are highly suspect because saudi arabia with the help of the u.s. navy has been imposing a brutal blockade naval e. and also in terms of air on yemen which you know prevents any kind of arms shipments from being set via of the water and then the allegations that iran is sending weapons through oman hav

if we as muslims have the right to force our islam regardless of shia, sunni, whatever, that has power, on the rest of humanity, that is very troublesome. nobody really has challenged it in the muslim world. it has to be done in the muslim world. it is being done in the muslim world by a lot of educated people, but they are being silenced either by authoritarian states or sometimes their profiles are being shut down because they are offensive to taliban-like figures in the countries. so there has to be a discernment that the values that make america and europe a beacon for freedom of thought and expression, the very thing values need to be applied to everybody who uses the internet whether it's middle east or muslim countries or america. there shouldn't be two standards. there was a scandal about facebook helping the government identify blasphemous people. pakistan. should facebook or you tube youtube really help this government crack down on people who don't want to believe in jihadism? american companies need to actually -- they are already part of this war. you are already in the mi

muslims, but then you have complete freedom. this is actually really significant because it shows they can actually take on terrorism. not only have powers in government in the sunni government, but also companiesfa like facebook are shutting down their accounts because they are secular and they are offending essentially totalitarian off these countries. so they are facing it from both ends. unfortunately, this is the best hope for really winning the war. this is a war of ideasope for essentially. it cannot be won militarily. yes, isis had a lot of weapons, a lot of training on one side or another. but it's ideological at the endn of the day with all of these terrorists having comments is that ideology, which we have not done anything to counter our allies when they say that they are our allies, do not take on the account of the people that have sometimes been following in the million, that capitulate these ideas. so the war of ideas we haven't yet thought that idea. we haven't yet really taken on global confront our allies to say you have to stop the extreme of ideological hate that is destabilizing the entire world. security has become a concern all over europe,
