hate isis. we are united against this fight against isis.we are not the terrorists. >> what about the challenge that many are giving to members of the muslim community to say the muslim community has to take the lead or a lead in trying to weed out, identify those who have become radicalized, those who are using the faith as a mask to carry out harm? >> well, we definitely have a responsibility, but all of us have a responsibility. we are muslims and we are americans. this kind of approach that this issue is happening in our communities and we don't care about it isn't correct and it doesn't make any sense. i mean, muslims make up over 99% of terrorism victims. these are people that we don't want in our communities as well. but at the same time, muslims are consistently and constantly condoning these acts of terrorism, and i don't feel like the media always wants to go with that story. i feel like how much louder are we supposed to -- are we supposed to condone -- condemn, sor sorry, these terrorist attacks? i saw some stats the other day. o

united states. >> how do you measure that? >> in the incidents of hate crimes, actions against mosques, civil rights groups, the number of incidents on a daily basis, more than that not just sentiments on the margins, it is the people at the head of the pack aren't just condoning this, they're encouraging it. if you look back to after september 11th, george bush goes out of his way to say this is not about islam or the west against islam, that absent maybe rand paul or jeb bush in last night's debate, that fear is gone now. >> you have anger and fear on the part of muslims in this country, as well, yes? >> you have anger and frustration, i don't -- i don't know if i'd say fear yet. i think people are concerned. i don't think they're afraid at this point, they are just worried about where this could be going. >> death threats for a number of prominent muslim americans, some of them on our program, who have described it. they're scared -- they're worried, concerned about their safety. so i guess, the question is what do you do about it? how do you put -- how do you put this back together again? is it possible? >> i think it is. and

people of all faiths united outside of a library in dearborn to promote peace and understanding. community against hate. they want to break down harmful stereotypes one sign at a time. "the idea that muslims are silent on terrorism is simply not true. muslim-americans stance against terrorism is often silenced, but we are not silent." "i tell everyone if you're scared, if you're fearful, go and meet them, go and help them, go get them off the boats. they're not scary people." the same group held an anti-isis rally last weekend in the aftermath of the deadly shooting in san bernardino, california. police arrested a man accused of starting a fire friday afternoon at a southern california mosque. police took 23-year-old carl james dial jr. into custody friday night and could face charges of arson, hate crime, and burglary. flames were reported friday afternoon at the islamic center of palm springs. the fire was contained to the building's lobby and no one was hurt. the mosque's acting imam says he terrorism. russian authorities are investigating a deadly fire at a home for people with mental illnesses. 23

against muslims. that's her biggest fear? >> it's astonishing, there were 5400 hate crimes in the united states last year, a thousand against religionknow how many were against muslims, 16%. 58% towards jews, i'm wondering when loretta lynch is going to come out and say the jews are taking it in the face and make sure the jews aren't getting the hate crimes, they're getting the biggest majority not the muslims. in a nation of millions of people, there's a total of 166 hate crimes against muslims in all of last year, compared to 598 against jews. i think, you know, if she's going to talk about this, first of all, when did we suspend the first amendment and free speech? i don't recall that. stuart: yeah, because what are you allowed to say? if you're critical of islam or critical of muslims, what are you allowed-- are we allowed to say that? that's the question. >> and it isn't a little odd, what statute can the top law enforcement officer in the country cite as the basis to prosecute someone for saying something this hurts someone's feelings and if she is in fact the attorney general, which puts her over the fbi, if she not aware of

are trying to tell muslims across the world that the united states and the west is against, out to fight islam, the entire religion. when he spews hatefulall muslims, including muslim americans who are serving our country from re-entering the united states, it plays right into their hands. so is she going to take a back seat to donald trump and stand down in the face of his attempt to bully her as he has done to the rest of the republican field? absolutely not. and if we had heard other republican candidates standing up to trump before now, then maybe we wouldn't be in this place where he's still considered the front-runner and he still continues to get away with this hateful rhetoric that is making it less safe here in the united states of america. >> so the criticism of the comment here is, where is this video? >> there is footage all across the middle east airing of the comments that he made and the proposal he made to bar muslims from entering the united states. nbc news has reported that the comments are playing into the hands of isis and inspiring terrorists to join isis. we can point to clips all across networks in the middle eas

against muslims over the last month. we see about 33 so we're talking two-and-a-half times the five-year moving average of hate crimes in the united states. that's reported hate crimes as you have shown, we saw assaults in new york, new jersey, california, north dakota as you showed. >> let me recap that. you are saying there are different confidence and lack times. if you are looking at reported publicly available information, as far as you are tell, what's happening right now is more than double the typical frequency these types of events in the united states? >> that's exactly correct. i am former nypd. i did multijurisdictional statistic am analysis. i tried to take out acts that were hateful but not criminal and then tried to take those cases that pass muster with regard to the fbi standards. as a criminologist, the available data seems to indicate on published data shows about two-and-a-half times, more than two-and-a-half times to the moving average over the last five years. we had 12r0i69 160 in the last month. we had 33 hate crimes give or take. we are averaging 13 a month. that's a significant increase to what we usually

united states is accepting. and we are absolutely accepting. but what the president and the administration is failing to do is failing to realize that at home there is no issue here. there is no hate against muslims. there is no backlash. >> you say suspicion against muslims. that's why donald trump, we can say that what he said tonight and i think he will garner even more support because there is suspicion. >> there is suspension but the crimes and actual actions against the muslim population is not there. >> not acted upon. can't do a group think don't be suspicious when there is one crew against the u.s.a. and that's the islamic fundamentalists, the crazy slams. >> absolutely, right. we need to be -- we need to understand that and identify that and not put this like you said group think on the muslim community. >> final question, do you believe that the president's strategy of making muslims sympathetic is worthy in an age in the war on terror against the jihad? >> it is not. it's actually feeding into the jihad, bill. because, what's happening here is the president in his own words is actually being divisive. he is saying to the muslim community you need to be afraid. there is nothing

against muslims over the last month, and what we see is about 33. so we're talking over 2 1/2 times the five year moving average of anti-islamic hate crimes in the unitedtates. that's reported hate crimes as you have shown, we saw assaults shooting, arsons, and it goes across the united states from new york and new jersey, florida, california, north dakota, as you showed. >> let me recap that. just to make sure i understand it. you are saying there are different sources of data and different levels of confidence in that data and also different lag times. but if you're looking at reported publicly available information, as far as you can tell, what's happening right now is more than double the typical frequency of these type of events in the united states? >> that's exactly correct. i am former nypd. i was one of the first people to do multijurisdictional statistical analysis. so what i tried to do was take out acts that were hateful, but not criminal, and then tried to take those cases that would probably pass muster with regard to the fbi standards for reporting. again we're not a law enforcement agency but as a criminologist the available data seems
