arabs and muslims -- most muslims are not arab. so some of the muslim women are seen to be the objects of oppression by the male patriarch just a time when a lot of american women are realizing that they are also -- restrictions because of the page are key. so these definitely changed over time. >> host: so that was her final chapter of the different faith groups and it went up to the present day. who are the heretics today? obviously you feel that way about the muslim community. i don't know if you feel that way about atheists. or in the future, it's kind of a fertile time where you have all these new religious movements coming up in a bee be there is more openness to this idea of god speaking in some different way. what do you think our future heretics are? >> guest: it's an interesting crowd because they have been seen as heretics for a long time and polls demonstrate that while americans at a certain amount of prejudice towards catholics and jews they even more so towards muslims that atheists tend to be really unacceptable esp

sure about this is a developing story tonight face to be with us and the government is blaming the muslim brotherhood indeed that's a completely the wrong question there what do we know about the strike on the victims. well the sound is not so clear i cannot hear the question will bring us a previous up to date with what you know about what's happened here today this tit for tat the sap and. attacks by the israeli army on the gaza strip for the boss a few are ones have began after the killing of an israeli soldier and in fact for the boss a few days there have been some the clashes between palestinian militants there israeli army and the israeli army wanted to. wanted to improve the buffer zone between gaza and israel and they were shooting at policy and farmers and civilians for the boss a few days to the palestinian militants should an israeli soldier out when he was did clear on the israeli warplanes that take the gaza strip they have been the sun is in the gaza strip is so most of them are civilians and up to now a situation somehow is being calm but for the bost two hours of why the

muslim brotherhood in egypt, the freedom and justice party. how might that declaration impact that party. >> the important thing to remember at this point is that, you know, as you mentioned the muslim brotherhood has a political arm, which is the freedom and justice party, and it has a huge network of social services, ngos and an appar at us of social movement that has been around for decades and is not going to disappear overnight because of a legal designation. that, for me, is the take away here. that the government can label the muslim brotherhood in any number of ways. it's going to be very difficult to uproot a large organization overnight. >> how will this decision by the government play in the neighbourhood. i'm thinking as i ask the question of qatar and the u.a.e., just off the top of my head. >> yes, of course, qatar has, you know, publicly supports the musl muslim brotherhood. the u.a.e. - currently there are prosecutions against egyptians in the u.a.e. for activities with the muslim brotherhood. we can expect players like qatar a

the muslim brotherhood said it was not involved in the attack. the government disagreed and labelled the group a terrorist organization. the government is trying to prevent more attacks and stop attempts by the muslim brotherhood to derail elections scheduled for the spring. >> pope francis used his first christmas message at the vatican to call for peace in war-torn areas, including syria. >> translation: let us continue to ask the lord to spare the beloved syrian people further suffering and to enable the parties in conflict to put an end to all violence and guarantee access to humanitarian aid. >> pope francis prayed for a better world and protection for christians under attack. tens of thousands packed st. peter's square. christians from around the world gathered in bethlehem. for tom that live there the day was overshadowed by the shameful reality of living in a land of conflict. >> this is a town where legend has it jesus was born. there are 200,000 christians, but for many christmas is not all that merry. >> this christian palestine family

although the muslim brotherhood condemned the bombing, the government accused the muslim brotherhood from being behind it, and declaring it to be a terrorist group will have a profound affect on egyptian politics. >> this can't lead to more democracy, it leads to more authoritarianism. and we're talking about a group with millions of supporters. >> reporter: many march misdemeanor solidarity. whatever the broad implications most people seem ready to ready to live with it for the stake of stability. >> it was the tale of two messages. nsa whistle blower edward snowed enrecorde snowdon. >> reporter: edward snowden first wished britains a merry christmas and then transitioned into his main message of his address, privacy or the lack there have. he said that the late author george orwell had no idea what latest technology would allow government to snoop into people's private lives, and warned that a child being born today may live or her life never knowinknowing what personal pr is. >> the conversation today will determine the kind of trust we can place in the technology that surrounds u

the muslim brotherhood is well-established as a party. the political arm, the freedom and justice party is still an open question, what this declaration means for the freedom and justice party. is it clear to you that in spite of this designation, the muslim brotherhood is not going anywhere anytime soon? >> yeah. i mean, that much is clear. simply banning an organization or labeling it a terrorist organization will not make its members disappear. it may make it harder for them to function out in the open, but to one extent or another, the brotherhood has operated more or less underground for many decades. it is in some ways, i think, well-adapted to existing underground. what it wasn't well-adapted to is operating in the sunlight and operating, you know, above ground. that's another story. it will certainly not make the brotherhood disappear. it's not clear how you would enforce something, such an enormously broad blanket ban on an organization that is, you know, deeply embedded in egyptian society and has been for almost a century. >> i
