i'm not here to depend islam. islam has god to defend it. i'm here to build bridges of understanding so that we do not go into the abyss of hating each other or thinking we are right and the other is wrong. that's why i'm trying to seek this middle value that we have. islam, the core of moderation in islam lies in two verses. one which says we have created you a temperate nation, a balanced nation. this is first 143. it comes exactly in the middle. however, it is preceded -- and wasatia means middle, linguistically it means moderation, middle ground, temperance. the significance of this verse is that it is preceded by another verse. and so there is the foundation is built on three columns or three breaks. it is the idea that the first -- it's preceded by verse 142 that says he guides whom he wills to a straight path. so we are talking about a path, a straight path. and then so it is a path to deliverance. and the verse talks, and thus we created a moderate nation, which actually builds on the golden rule. then we walk on that to justice. act

with respect to the islamic state. holding territory, therefore, taking it back from them, taking bacharacha, taking back mosul, taking back -- taking back raqqa, taking back mosul, taking back other cities, matters. it will put a big dent in their recruitment. because they will lose a great deal of legitimacy that they have enjoyed within jihadi circles. they will still go underground. and they'll still have to be rooted out. but it will be easier if they can't recruit as well. ms. sanchez: thank you for that enlightenment. i've really been one of those who has been trying to understand what's the root of this. thank you, mr. chairman. mr. thornberry: ms. mcsally. ms. mcsally: thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, gentlemen, for your service and testimony today. in my time in the military, one of the things that was our most concerning at first threat was the combination of a terrorist organization with a weapons of mass destruction. i serve on homeland security, i'm the chairwoman of the subcommittee, we've done some h

they talk the talk about confronting islamic state. islamic state does not really threaten assad. they have almost a tacit understanding to leave each other alone. it is the groups we would like to support, should support, that are really locked in with assad, bearing the brunt of russian airpower. they are all in on this. they are all in against us, but we are not doing anything to demonstrate to anyone that we are pushing back. >> that was a great question, senator. i agree with much of what the ambassador said. syria is isis center of gravity. what they're doing in iraq is occupying sunni lands. in syria, it is from syria they have expanded into those affiliates i described on those maps, and from syria they are creating a worldwide following. syria truly matters, but it is a much more complex problem. when you talk to leaders, sunni leaders, unequivocally they will tell you that iran is her number one problem. that is their issue. and, i put that map of there because sometimes a visual picture tells an incredible story of what their concern is. that is the number one a sister

himself from the other islam state or islamic country. but the people, the muslim people are saying it's a completely different question. what they think of themselves and what the people call them is different. i believe the saudi's, the royal family is not popular as it used to be. because they align themselves with the west. they're taking the american side and they help american of iraq. so now they are distending their warplanes so i believe it is not as pure as they wanted to be. so they call themselves part of this rhyme but i believe the image is very shaky now because of their intervention in yemen. because of the intervention also supported muslim brotherhood's and also with the bigger states in the middle east like egypt for example. like syria, like iraq, and because also the division which is also taken place in the syrian division, now they are represented one side of the islamic part and the other side is the shiite islam. so the one state is actually the leader because of the secretary and divide. >> it was my impression t

is there a moderate islam? what is moderation meaning islam? how does one achieve it? we are fortunate to have two people who exemplify but one of our speakers is professionally seceded with which is the concept of moral courage people can display in society culture and it is about ideas and beliefs, standing for change even if there is a great personal call. both of our speakers have exemplified that idea, that ideal of moral courage within the context of islam in our society. first i am very proud to turn to her shed mansion. this is not the 1st time speaking, but it has been some years since she has been with us. i am delighted she is back. she is a prominent speaker and lecture public intellectual, author of books such as allah will liberty, and love. muslims call for reform in her place. any enemy nominated documentary faith without fear. i'm delighted you can find time to join us. i call today a discussion and exchange of views and i think that is the spirit in which we will proceed. i am delighted to introduce my colleagues here at the institute, the western fel

islamic state as brutal as it is. see you have to deal with that ruth cop -- the root causes to help the country rebuild with respect there is the big debate. one having refugees in camps indefinitely or near syria also breeds resentment to help the islamic state recruits as well. and to take refugees to bear in mind to play into the islamic state as a make that decision of refugees. >> thank you to the witnesses and eight years on the intelligence committee and to appreciate your testimony and on the military and political front. with some concrete steps with that military french and on the political front given the fact there are countless examples through the chiron that's isil uses to justify their actions. what are effective ways to delegitimized isil? given the headwinds that we're up against that they are using the acheronto justify what they're doing? >> as recently to hold several hearings on counter extremist messaging and then the white house announced the new task force. with an ideological messaging and t

i think we all know they are not there to fight the islamic state, they don't care about islamic state, nor does iran. they care about shoring up the side. so with that it is perceived in the region as an anti- sunni arab access. the more we don't take sides the more we try to work with the russians or iranians, the more that perception takes hold among the sunni arabs. the considerable majority of the pipe relation of that region. the more islamic state can make hay out of it. i could go on a great lengths, but i will not. i would mention several specific steps that we need to take. i would agree on the importance of establishing a no-fly zone and safe zones. it has gotten infinitely harder now with the russians they are. i still would like to see us pursue it and i would imagine this committee is heavily engaged with the administration and looking at its feasibility. it is important, like many military actions, it is important politically. single sunni arabs and and beyond that we stand with them against the butchery of the charlotta. his killing far more of his own citizens than isl

and some fled the islamic state. although actually the numbers that flee the assad government's aerial bombing is much, much, much higher than the number who flee the islamic state, as brutal as the islamic state is. so you've got to deal with that root cause in order to convince people to go back. there could be reconstruction. we might be able to find ways to generate resources to help the country rebuild. but you can't do any of that until the war goes on. so i go back to what i said on that. with respect to keeping them closer versus farther, yes, there's big debate about syrian refugees right now. i would just say this. having refugees in camps indefinitely, even near syria in lebanon or turkey or jordan or iraq, where there is no hope, also breeds resentment and helps the islamic state recruit as well. so as we the americans think about whether or not we should take refugees, i think we also need bear in mind that choosing not to take refuse zees plays into an islamic state recruiting effort. and we will have t

frederick: this is an area where the islamic state has tried to mount attacks. they have their base in an area to the east, and what they are clearly trying to do is disrupt the formation of an effective government and effective police force so they can expand their rule. are we seeing increasingly that libya is becoming some kind of a backstop for islamic state as they come under pressure in syria? frederick: that's the real fear. this is in many ways right territory. there's no government. it's lawless. it has plenty of arms. they already have a foothold in this one city. there is already a base of jihadist sentiment in some areas, so this is a real concern. laura: there are others, too, who are causing chaos, aren't there? frederick: it is a very crowded field. the region is awash with militias, so there is a lot of competition. we found islamic state was actually pushed out by a rival jihadist group that was aligned with al qaeda. laura: you technically have these rival governments that you talked about. do they talk to each other? frederick: the real focus

the battle is within islam itself. wherein the arab world this battle is intersecting with regimes and family monarchy's fa failure to adjust. therefore, we are fighting a political and religious ideology which draws its origin from the strict interpretation of the koran and the intolerance. political leaders have referred to it as a religious revolution. yet the current u.s. administration fails to define radical islam or explain it, nor understand it. how can we possibly defeat radical islam if we don't understand it? knowing the kind of war you are fighting is the first priority of a national or military leader. given this purposeful misunderstanding, or self-deception at best, by not acknowledging this narrowly focused islamic ideology, it creates an unnecessary condition where all muslims are brought under suspicion. law abiding, faith-based traditional or modern muslims who would do no harm to the fellow man and resent any association with radical islam deserve better treatment than that. this is a 21st century g

because what does the islamic state propaganda rely on? first, they say western society is not suitable for a muslim to live in. a muslim should immigrate to a muslim land, and preferably to the caliphate, because this caliphate that we are establishing is the dream land for all muslims. and the other aspect -- the other key point of isis propaganda is based on the fact that westerners marginalize muslim, that there is racism and hatred. and basically, what have we witnessed last summer? first, hundreds of thousands of muslims fleeing this dream land of syria. it's like -- it's just like if you had loads of jews fleeing israel just a couple of years after the state of israel is established. i mean, that's a -- it contradicts all of the speech the state is based on and contracts itself on. and not only that, so they leave this land of sham, that is dream land for isis, to immigrate to lands of unbelievers. and on top of that, they are welcomed with open arms by the western societies, who -- and by many people in europe who say, "well, you a

islam & muslims are not terrorists. terrorism is not islam." across the city - nahdlatul ulama, an association of islamic scholars - with 50 million indonesian members worldwide - held an interfaith dialogue with representatives of the catholic and protestant churches, jewish, hindu and bhuddhist communities. signing a declaration condemning the attack, calling for unity and compassion for the victims' families and peace. in november 2015 - recognizing the potential threat, the association released a video campaign - aimed at the film urges muslims to put more focus on the human side of islam. there is growing concern, heightened by this attack, about isis gaining a foothold in the world's largest muslim country. at least 500 fighters are believed to have traveled to iraq and syria from here. but that's 500, out of 200 million mostly moderate muslims - in a secular state. isis claimed responsibility for thursday's gun and bomb attack saying the group was targeting quote "a gathering of nationals of the crusader alliance, which is fighting the i

is at war with islam. in the 90s it was a little bit harder to figure out what the heck he meant by that. it seems like sureley lunatic notion. the usa gone into bosnia. what happened after 9/11? this is really the way historically it functions. we invaded afghanistan. we invaded iraq. they began flying drones over pakistan could we began flying drones over yemen. they began taking strikes in somalia. it's a gross oversimplification to say the u.s. is at war with islam. but it's literally true that we are killing muslims. the core recruiting pitch of al qaeda to impression all young muslims is the u.s. is killing your muslim brothers and sisters it's your religious obligation to fight back and that's what it was. well i think the u.s. is safer than it was at the time of 9/11 certainly a big attack like that , because of surveillance and border control and a lot of other things. it's also true i think most experts would say the minority of muslims and is a small minority of more than 1 billion muslims world

syrian the non-jihadi groups to fight islamic state. their arch enemy is not islamic state. it's assad. we want the arab states to come into fight islamic state. that's not their biggest issue. it's a ran. the same thing applies with turkey. -- it's iran. the same thing applies with turkey. the united states is clearly a threat to them, and they know it. we have seen that in syria. but in their calculus, the kurds are a much greater threat. we have the dilemma that the most effective on the ground force we have found in syria the ,ne the turks fear the most particularly since the syrian are affiliated and thousands have died in that conflict inside turkey. , this is the problem from hell at every dimension. it is an going to get better on its own. startling revelation, i know. it's going to take sustained dialogue and engagement with all of our traditional allies in that area. we just need to be having that conversation. continuing on priorities, which sunni arab state views the islamic state as a greater threat than it views iran and shia aggression in the region? >> i am n

pledged allegiance to islamic state. the officer's injuries are not life-threatening. u.s. correspondent richard walker joins us with the latest on this story. so richard, what more do we know about the circumstances of this attack? richard: sarah, it really does seem pretty astonishing that this officer is still alive, with the police saying 13 rounds fired, some of them at very close range. so i think certainly lucky to be alive simply with injuries to his arm. the police have been talking about what the assailant allegedly told them after he was apprehended, as you just mentioned, reportedly saying he was pledging allegiance to islamic state, that he did this in the name of islam but we should also caution that his mother has also been talking to local reporters saying that her son was mentally ill, that he'd recently had voices in his head. so that is certainly going to be something for the authorities to look at as they continue their investigation. so far, at least, they're not using the word "terrorism" to describ

they talk the talk about confronting islamic state. islamic state does not really threaten assad. they have almost a tacit understanding to leave each other alone. it is the groups we would like to support, should support, that are really locked in with assad, bearing the brunt of russian airpower. they are all in on this. they are all in against us, but we are not doing anything to demonstrate to anyone that we are pushing back. >> that was a great question, senator. i agree with much of what the ambassador said. syria is isis center of gravity. what they're doing in iraq is occupying sunni lands. in syria, it is from syria they have expanded into those affiliates i described on those maps, and from syria they are creating a worldwide following. syria truly matters, but it is a much more complex problem. when you talk to leaders, sunni leaders, unequivocally they will tell you that iran is her number one problem. that is their issue. and, i put that map of there because sometimes a visual picture tells an incredible story of what their concern is. that is the number one a sister
