this is not the true islam! the true islam is the islam of louis farrakhan!" and well, the class is going ... they're yelling stuff, people are starting to yell, things are getting real negative. and i kind of look up at the clock and say, "can i get out of this one?" but i turned it around- i turned it around. i got up- i happened to have a mic there- and i said, "now class, you see the power of doctrine and the power of ethics- belief and behavior right here?" and fortunately, the period ended and we got out of there. but you know, i got to talking to her, i called her on the phone after class. several students came up and said, "you handled that well, because it could have been, you know, quite a negative experience." but from her perspective, being a young person, true islam was the teaching of louis farrakhan, and she took issue with the standard islamic ritual of the noon prayer. i got to know her throughout the rest of her four years there, and she never quite said, "well, i'm kind of sorry for that," but she came around and realized that there was a wi

aasi at the american islamic college. dr. aasie, you're a professor here, but you also have a very strong religious role in this community, don't you? >> yeah. i basically represent different communities and conduct services at different places. but my definitely profession is as a professor of historic religion and of islamic studies. >> okay. in our study of religions, you can almost pick up any introduction to religion book and you find the five pillars of islam is usually the way it's presented. but coming from a devout muslim, could you explain the five pillars of islam to us? >> yeah. these five pillars basically are- there are two aspects of- that we just call the five articles of faith, and then the practice of that faith comprised into the five pillars of islam. and the first pillar of islam, it is called shahada- it means bearing witness to the truth- and it goes like that, that i be a witness there is no god but allah, and i bear witness that mohammed is his final the last messenger. now this is a kind of confessio

well, because islam's beautiful and we want to look at islam. but why now in this course? because we're talking about the doctrinal, the ethical, and the social dimension, and in sunna, you get that sense- the body of established islamic faith, the morals, the practice- established by consensus- down through history, through scholars, through religious persons. and we see the sunna is the majority of the muslims, the shiite muslims, and also later, we'll talk about the sufis- they're the mystical tradition. and we have one of the most rare videotapes- something i'm very excited to show you, actually, in this class- we have a video interview with a sufi sheik on a rooftop in nazareth, israel, so we'll be bringing that up, but we also want to talk about the sufi tradition. anyway, at the heart, for our purposes, the five pillars of islam. and why i like to touch on this at this point in the course is because the five pillars couldn't be better from any possible doctrine, any possible religious exploration, because it's religious doctrine defining ethical behavior that impact

>> my world turned upside down, because the islam that we were living, this very egalitarian islam at home... outside in saudi arabia, i was seeing the complete opposite. and so i learned at that age, at 15, that there were many different types of islam, because the islam i was taught was, "you and your brother are equal, you and your brother must go to university, you and your brother have to perform at this very high level that we expect of you." but outside, on the streets of saudi arabia, women were absent, and it was a very misogynistic interpretation of islam. so it was a real culture shock for me. >> hinojosa: and actually, you write about, at that point, going into a depression. >> yeah. >> hinojosa: what was the source of that depression, and what did you do as a, you know, muslim teenager depressed in saudi arabia? >> i think the source of the depression now, when i look at it, you know, with much introspection and reflection and time, you know, between then and now, was this great culte shock that i experienced because, you know, teenage girls anywhere have a hard time-- te

people who really know about islam. the saudi missionaries have been most successful in areas where people do not know very much about islam. this is a huge problem because if you see people acquire more islamic -- as people learn more about their religion, they will become more fundamentalist. as people learn more about our religion they become protected against efforts to change their direction. in the case of the people of central asia and the muslim population in the russian federation, what we have people who do not have that kind of training and are more susceptible for recruitment. it is very important to understand that. there is a process of immunization. i know many muslims -- those who know a great deal about islam are able to say absolutely no to the missionaries coming from saudi arabia. the people who know much less about islam are far more likely to be recruited because they're waiting for someone to tell them what it means. >> thank you. we now recognize the ranking member on the terrorism subcommittee f

and how islam is being attacked from the outside -- from the western countries and how islam is under pressure, but i never heard them speak of doing -- having terrorist attack ideas. >> when did you notice a change in tamerlan? when did you see him becoming more religious, more devout, if you will? >> it was when he was 22. he just graduated from high school, and he didn't get into college right away. so he was having, i guess, difficulties finding himself. at some point, he started being interested in not just religion and islam, but he also read other philosophers and he read some teachers. he read ghandi. that is his background. that's what islam was his choice at first. then he started changing towards being somewhat radical. he would always support ideas of, you know, being -- praying five times a day. he was going to mosque regularly. he started doing it when he was about 22, 23, maybe. you know, he was always try to protect many conversations. he would try to protect his ideas and defend islam, maybe even sometimes defend, you know, people in other countries like afghanistan [

but i know that they had a lot of conversations about just, you know, islam and how islam is being attacked from the outside, you know, from the western countries and how islam is under pressure. >> asked when tamerlan became a more devout muslim the ex-brother-in-law and uncle both say they noticed it about four years ago. we searched for misha using the internet, search data base and social media cross referencing his name with descriptions of it. one name did come up. we scoured matching addresses in the boston area. phone numbers and e-mails. we couldn't find him so we're not mentioning his name. has misha ever been connected with the islamic society of boston, the mosque the two suspects attended? i put that question to this mosque spokesman. is there such a person in this congregation, and do you think there could be anything to that? >> not to our knowledge. not to our nornlgs no. >> reporter: and another mosque official told me, quote, we are looking for him, too. they say they want to find this misha person as much as anyone else right now, wolf. >> tamerlan, the older brother, he

laws come from the power of the state usually, but also, for instance, in islam, the sharia, the islamic law that governs things. in israel, in a funny kind of twist, although it's a secular state, jewish- a religious law governs many of the aspects there. so laws are out there. the one that's more difficult is values- another kind of pattern. we hear a lot about values lately. these set the standards for good action, and here we're talking about morality- what are the proper mores; how are we to conduct ourselves? and you know the great ethical debates in our society, and there's a lot of difference in a free society- religion stepping in, in many cases, to determine issues about morality such as suicide, the right to die, the right to life or abortion issue is another one, capital punishment- we all know the story here- but these are the issues that people struggle with in terms of defining what's going on. so anyway, ethical behavior is, in fact, guided in any society by laws and by customs and by morals, and each of these forces impact on these patterns of action. so already, it's ge
