the word terrorism is not mentioned in the koran. it talks about the other kind of jihad which is to do within yourself. when i was growing up in the middle east, jihad was war and violence. >> let me show you some video of ofegyptian clerk in the name mohammed hussein jack lew -- yacoub. it is an example of what you can find on the web of some imams and what they say. >> how much is that what you hear in mosques all the time? >> it is very common. it is on the streets, it is everywhere. just the word jew can make a person feel scared. >> there are 1.6 billion muslims 15the world and about million jews around the world. why is everything based on this? >> because islam, by nature, unfortunately, they like to find evil outside. it is not like the , whichhristian culture demands that people look within before they look outside. when i came to america and i attended churches with my family , i noticed that they , onentrate on redemption fixing themselves. concentrates on fixing others. >> sharia law, what does it mean and -- you hear peo

now, until recently, nobody read the koran on its own. just as jews don't read the jewish scriptures, the hebrew scriptures, without the -- you see the jewish scriptures through the lens of the rabbial which has been developed over centuries which was very much concerned to mitigate extremely violent passages in the hebrew bible. we all have vie violent passages because we're violent people, and the muslim world, too, nobody just picked up the koran and picked out a few passages from jihad and ignored the rest. this caution of reading the scripture in the lying of all this tradition actually held extremists' opinions at bay. now, why there is so much terrorism in the muslim world now? because i said earlier, mouse limits have had a much more difficult passage to modernity than we have. number one, they were a great world power. they were -- when the british and the french came in and subdued them in their empires, they were reduced overnight to a dependent block, and that humiliation goes very deep, and humiliation is often a huge cause of
