you know, when you say that islam means peace, do you think islam in theory or islam in the way that its practice? because if you mean islam in theory, that's cool. but let's talk about islam in this. why is that, for example, that the vast majority of muslims who have been tortured, murdered, or imprisoned in the last 50 years and certainly this study is an arabic language studies back up the point about the last 10 years, in particular. why is that the vast majority of muslims who have been subject to this treatment are subjected to fellow muslims? what is up with that? okay, the reactions of the muslims within the non-muslims engage will be very important because again, it defenses go up right away and you're not allowed to engage, you know that something other than reform mindedness is going on. but it's also very, very important when you are told, because you will be told you're stationed in in islam a phobia, very important. i get these tips in the book as well because it's really a how-to for both progressive muslims unprogressive non-muslims that if you are fearful, you'd be

so rustling, america is wrestling with islam and islamic america. this is part of an often heated historical pattern. the second i can be much briefer. that is that the sorts of tensions that this report is focused on having to do with islam and also immigration are not just freestanding issues. they have been integrated into the framework of growing political partisan polarization in the united states that is developed really over the past four decades. so you know as robbie has put it, the issues of islam and immigration have now become part of a broader fabric of america's culture wars. with regard, and this is my third point, to immigration, there is a very interesting tension revealed in this survey between, on the one hand, a diffuse majority in favor of fairly capacious and comprehensive immigration reform but on the other hand and intense minority that opposes it. there is more intent -- there is more intensity on -- against the views on the favorable side and american politics, political institutions have a way of giving disproportionate in

there's also been a growing debate over islamic religious law, or shariah. measures to restrict or ban the use of shariah have been introduced in nearly two dozen states. yet in other areas, the last ten yearsave brought a new spirit of dialogue and cooperation. kim lawton has our report. >> reporter: as muslims were observing ramadan, an unlikely group gathered in syracuse at the islamic society of central new york mosque. christian, jewish, buddhist, hindu, and bahai women joined their muslim friends for the traditional iftar meal that breaks the daytime fast. the event was organized by women transcending boundaries or wtb, a grassroots group that started in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. these women didn't know each other ten years ago, and they admit they probably still wouldn't. but 9/11 changed everything. >> wtb took a negative, you know, a really tragic, tragic situation and made something positive from it. >> the relationships with these women have enriched my life enormously, have expanded my view of the world in a way that i would never have known

republic turkey has an islamic government that covers a lot of territory and egypt may have an islamic government and in the future so having said that it's almost going to play a role doesn't tell you a great deal necessarily about what subject or e could be could be a more secular government does exist in turkey could be a government that tries to. impose some form of islam equality that of course even within that there is a lot of room for interpretation and all that is consistent with for example saudi arabia very strict imposition of islamic law very pro-u.s. god so there's a lot to be determined and i don't think it should just as a surprise that in a muslim country like libya is almost going to play a role after revolution just as in egypt a democratic government is going to bring arguably to bring islam without a doubt and i think that the bottom line is that it's just hard to say exactly what that future government will look like important to talk about on the last thanks so much robert naiman policy director for just foreign policy and obama eleanor. well as we mentioned befo

it is not islamic at all. what they don't tell you that if you kill a human being if it is as punishment for murder or other ability in the land, only then is it like killing mankind unless this the escape hatch. why would it be? to say this has nothing to do with islam we are lying to ourselves and is on. and then being actively used it to put forth old competing three interpretations that is being used in violent ways. if you kill a human being it is like mankind unless that is punishment for murder as what we're doing with one another? what about israeli occupation why is it we never acknowledged that it is also a felony and l.a. and if we define that then we have two realize the counter narrative to the jihadist movement is that we have to eliminate with the extremist ideology and we can only do that and moderate step up to become reformists. why are they liberal? because they look to conserve one plan of a multifaceted identity. for moderates, when it comes to liberal muslims all they are is muslims. of y

bin laden represents a puritan extremism within islam, modern islam. there's no question that the extremists and puritans want to be the only representatives of islam who can tell you what god wants and what islam is and that's the beginning and the end. what i think is the most dangerous is... there are few that are as arrogant or self- righteous as bin laden within the muslim world. but the most dangerous is a type of thinking that would allow a person to think they speak authoritatively and decisively for god. and that type of thinking is more widespread in contemporary islam than bin laden. what i communicate to people is a message of tolerance, of a conception of god as beauty, the embodiment of beauty, and the insistence on the autonomy of the individual and the importance of conscience, and the acceptance that the law does not necessarily embody morality, but that morality must always examine the law and shape the law.

first the relationship with radical islam inside the islamic community. muslim-americans and their relationship with it is what? >> well, actually, a study came out from the pew research center about a week and a half ago. updating its own study in 2007. bottom line is that most muslim-americans believe that there is no support for extremism with their community. more non-muslim-americans believe there is. clearly a chasm. >> muslim-americans believe there's no support for radical islam. very little support with the community. >> right. >>ed perception is there is? >> exactly. moreover, most muslim-americans are working tightly and very well with law enforcement agencies. so there is already one divide in terms of perception that needs to be bridged. i think the bigger issue here actually dylan is that since 9/11, even more so than in the days immediately following that horrible moment, fear has increased. and i think fear, not just among non-muslims towards muslims, but really especially among liberals on both sides. here's what i mean. liberal non-musli
