islam there is only islam. so what in your view is moderate islam and how does it differ from extremist islam? >> that is a question for islamic intellectualism. we can say that the moderate islam -- there are people that are raising people on behalf of moderate islam and they're not really moderate. there are also some who speak using extremist expressions and interpretations of the text and i cannot say that this is not from a systemic environment. but the talks about an islam of his own, it cannot be -- the moderate islam is the real islam . the moderate islam is the islam of coexistence between all people in that -- and moderate islam believes in diversity as a tradition. and this is actually the nature of human creatures. the real islam believes in the rights of all people and cannot impose its own beliefs on others. or its ideas. the moderate islam understands that there is diversity in religions and schools in ideas and cultures. otherwise, all the people on this earth will think in the same way and have

the moderate islam is the islam of coexistence between old people and moderate islam is the islam that believes in diversity of pluralism. this is actually the nature of human creatures. the real islam believes in the rights and cannot impose its own beliefs on others. the moderate islam understands the differences in religions and schools in ideas and cultures that otherwise other people on this earth will think the same the same culture. islam is a moderate religion. that description is really the description, but to use it for for anybody who raises the question of islam and the way it works, this is not a way for the muslims. when we find the moderate islam and use it for 1400 years, coexisted with everybody. i would like to mention that there are people who try to falsify history. there are events that were written by some historians which does not really blowing too slim. right for islam. they also misinterpreted islamic history. history is coming from the garbled mike. however, we recall -- in the kerlan and i am a specialist in the islamic law. i studied and i am a religious ma

islam. the traditions, the cultures, that you're used to many people of islamic identity, of practice, following of the various schools of islamic thought, whether they are in the arabian peninsula or on west africa. with the journey coming into america we have a very new identity emerging with the rise of proet toe islamic movements, if you will. elements of islamic identity that incorporated the nation of islam, that incorporated the influence of the ak ma dia movement as well. it's important to realize that the development of islam in america was certainly very much the result of ak ma dee i can't missionaries in the united states at the turn of the century in the 1900s he was instrumental in the establishment of islamic identity in the states. i say that in light of certainly the blasphemy laws and issues in pakistan large by, but this is a very interesting to show you this fusion, this melting pot of islam coming into the american experience. so african-american muslims journ journeying
