a christian convert from islam is breathing easier today. the swedish government has decided it will not deport him back to his home country of iran. >> george: big news. migration officials reversed their decision after media reports, including a story by our very own story by dale hurd. today swedish christians are crediting cbn news as a factor in raza's freedom. >> reporter: in march, cbn news brought you this story of raza jabari, who along with many other iranian christians in sweden faced deportation back to iran and grave danger. the swedish government's attitude towards iranian christians facing deportation would seem to be as cold as the swedish winter. the iranians say sweden's immigration board simply does not care if they face prison or torture if they return to iran. ♪ >> reporter: jabari, a famous singer in iran, who refused to be a government informant, was hiding in sweden after his asylum request was rejected. >> in islam, it is shari'a and it is every muslim man who leaves the islam must be killed because this man is a p

have a traditional dress in islam culture and afghanistan culture, dresses am islam. but nowadays every person, globalization, it belongs to the person what they wear. for example, this is my bracelet i wear at the university. they are similar to the western bracelets. >> you're dressed without a veil today or something on your led. is that comfortable for you? are you allowed to do that at home? >> no. >> you don't have to? >> no, no problem. outside from home, this is my clothes. >> i lps want to talk about entertain -- also want to talk about entertainment, the freedom to have fun. can you have entertainment or are their security concerns in the process. >> it's important in our society. we have a lot of hobbies in our country on some official days and sunday is a holiday. my weekend is on friday because this is islamic culture. all of the islamic culture and society have only one day off. this is friday. on friday we all go to pray, official pray. after that day they go to parties. they go to picnics by their families, by their friends, by their relationships. ed

when you keep saying islamic terrorism, you get the sense that islam is very easily into terror. this isn't so. but often the discourse about islam is really very scary in the west. sometimes i asked to write a piece that something comes up in the news and i write a piece and say what the islamic position is. and the volume of hate mail that i get is shocking. this time last year i was in canada and they asked me to do a piece on islamophobia in canada. and i hope was of so that we appalled at the first 500 threatening letters and in the mail which was really sort of ugly stuff coming out. i had -- fees were not religious fanatics or people on the far right. i write for a good liberal paper here in london. people would say we are going to come burn down your house. all of this goes right down and it is a gift to the extremists who can then point to their disaffected followers to say look the islam, they hate our profits. we can't reach an accommodation with warfare and terror is the only way that we have. so you know, of course the administration was careful to say this isn't a w

people say, well, what is this word "islamism," what you mean is islam. i understand what they mean. islamism is a made up word, but i use it for a particular reason because it is an in order to allow for the fact there are muslims who are not extreme, who want to sign up to western value, and we must acknowledge that, and there are muslims who don't. those who doesn't i call and others call islamists because they are trying to impose islamic dock train, islamic values on those who are not muslim and impose the most high bound, anti-freedom interpretation of the religion at the most narrow on muslim. they are islamists. they are a threat to us. they say what their intention is, create the old islamic fate, the muslim empire to go beyond that and to conquer britain, america, and explicit, and to impose sley -- sleer ya. those are islamist, violence, equipped with war and terrorism, and some are not, but believe they can confer the west to a kind of cultural creep, if you like, a kind of cultural takeover and should be extremely worried by them. they are al

is islamism. the real reason the islamists declared war on the west, that is embodies the freedom of the individual and the negation of thee karattic authority. in a globalized world, this is a con they onthat threatens islam everywhere. >> guest: yes. this is preoccupied me for several years and preoccupies all of us more and more, and i do think, as i said, there's a problem here with the islamic world, and with the religion at the root of the islamic world, and it's very, very important to understand, i think, in all of this, that when one talks about the concerns, one is not talking about all muslim, on the contrary. there are, i mean, just to the point of view of britain, there's have many muslims who are immigrants to britain, precisely because they wanted to sign up to britain, western values,mented to live in freedom, to prosper and have good jobs and live in freedom because freedom's very important to them. the women wanted to be treated as equals. they wanted all the things that we all w

but islamic terrorists. >> guest: i would say if the word islamic terrorist is not really a valid. these people are not muslims. they are criminals, the people who do these acts are criminal acts and when they say is monetarism you get a sense that islam they could segue easily. it is not so. also the discourse is really very scary in the west sometimes i am asked to write a piece something comes up in the news. to say what the islamic position is and the volume of hate mail is shocking. this time last year i was in canada and global mail asked me to do a piece on islam also be in canada. my house were absolutely appalled with the first 500 letters that were threatening and these are not religious fanatics i write for a good liberal paper in london and people would say they will come burn down your house. and all of this hate goes right down the web is a gift to the extremist who can point* to the disaffected followers to say they hate is on and our profit they can read -- could never reach accommodation so warfare is the only way that we have. so of course, the administration was

it's not at problem with islam, it's a problem within islam. if you are not prepared to talk about it. if you are not prepared to acknowledge the threat of radical islamists and terrorist ideology, how can you defend it? people are afraid to offend muslims when it's muslims that are the biggest victims of islamic terrorism. blair's courage in the u.k. could be a symbol here in the united states. we do need to put this on the table and talk bit. >> eric: we saw the attacks in london and boston. what do we do about it? >> i think that the idea that president obama espoused at his speech two weeks ago that the war on terror is basically over is manifestly false. it flies in the face of the evidence that is right in front of us. never going to prevail over the terrorists if we don't admit they exist. >> eric: ambassador bolton, good to see you. >> jamie: there is a disturbing warning about a deadly virus. it's being called a threat to the entire world. distribution will be here for their sunday house calls to explain what you need to do to protect

then come in the prime minister, who has a more islamic leaning. his wife is veiled under the military. it is illegal for our woman to go on to a military base. that's how secular it has been in this country. it is these kind of laws that the prime minister has been trying to peel back to keep the military from staging a coup on him. the prime minister has jailed many top military officers. i would be very surprised if he brings in the military in this case because the military is not his natural ally. in fact, it still sees itself as the guardian of secularism and just the opposite of what the prime minister represents. >> so richard, the prime minister has the police on his side. they're firing water cannons and tear gas at the protesters. what sort of weapons do the protesters have on their side? >> reporter: not very much. this has not been an armed conflict. the police have not been using live ammunition as far as we've been able to ascertain from watching events today and over the last several days. the protesters mostly have been throwing st

as an islamic state, pakistan also follows the islamic law, known as sharia law, which states that a girl who has reached puberty can be married even if she is a minor. and here in pakistan, whenever there is a conflict between the two sets of laws, the courts tend to side with the islamic law. after years of hearings and delays, the judge finally summoned the accused to the court. >> shah: all the accused persons as well as myself, the prosecutor, the judge, all were present in the courtroom. my clients were behind the bars since last three years. so there was great apprehension. >> narrator: after a three-year long trial, the judge would side with the men. >> narrator: after years in prison, on this day, ahsan spoke publicly about kainat. >> narrator: in the end, the judge believed the marriage story, ruling that ahsan's marriage to kainat was valid despite the fact that she was only 13, following islamic law rather than secular law. he went on to say that another reason he had decided against kainat was because she had accused a father and a son of a gang rape. in his view, he sai

were in power of afghanistan -- the name of afghanistan, according to the constitution, is the islam of afghanistan. also, the flag and the political office. it seems to me that is their embassy. it is assumed to be an embassy. we condemn and reject that. we ask thomas according to the constitution, and the agenda for peace, and he talk, needs to be approved by the parliament of afganistan. i think suspending the security agreement talk is not the right decision. speeding the process is a decision. 's eating the process means making more united states commitment to what they promised to the people of afghanistan. even more speed to that, signing as soon as possible this agreement, with the frame of the afghan national interest, is priority. through that, we will receive military assistance for the afghan national security force. >> the white house insists that peace with the taliban can only be achieved at the bargaining table, and not on the battlefield. the taliban said it wants the guantÁnamo bay prison closed, detainees released, and foreign invaders out of the country. it added

must come to terms with the islamic republic of iran heart there's just the two of us and myself to cross talk rolls in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i really encourage it flipped if i can go to you first what drives american foreign policy towards iran. very simple question maybe a complicated answer i think that what really drives american foreign policy toward iran is a post cold war determination on the part of the united states to dominate the middle east to to play a role in the middle east to micromanage political outcomes in key middle eastern states so that those states strategic orientation is subordinated to u.s. foreign policy preferences and the middle east has a regional order which is essentially run by the united states from that perspective the problem with the islamic republic of iran is that it won't play along with this with this kind of hedge monic ambition it said it's very open to improved relations with the united states but that has to take place on the basis of equality and american acceptance of the islamic republic that's not the washingt

christianity and islam. both of these religions had to explain how they were related to, but different from the judaism with which they claimed relations but also claimed to have some sense that superseded. in order to do this they had to think constantly about their relationship to the old testament and to the jews who were its carriers in their society. and we can see this thinking goes on in all of the scriptures of the new religion. so in the new testament, one of my favorite examples in the new testament is the reason jesus on the road to emmaus. you know the story of two disciples are working on the road to emmaus and they're very sad because they have thought that jesus was the massage. they're talking to each other on the road, [inaudible] but they weren't going. they're going for consolation. and a third figure approaches him, a stranger, and ask them why they're on the path? have you not heard, ha have yout heard of this person who was crucified? we have thought he would be the savior of israel. th

anup's -- groups who want islamic state, such as the al- nusra front, are engaged with more weaponry, with a better from different commands of chains and routes. the problem is, how will these groups really coordinate? in aleppo, for example, they are coordinating in a better way than they are in another city, where there is a domination of the al-nusra front and the islamic state of iraq and another grouping entirely. in aleppo right now, there is a loose affiliation of these groupings. if weapons were to be put through to the syrian army -- the free syrian army, there's an issue of where they would end up and there is an issue of training. >> and the other issue are the civilians caught in the middle. always, the civilians caught in the crossfire. >> absolutely. you are talking about the majority. it's a majority that does not have a voice, a voice listened

dominant and that is what i call islamism. there are people that say what you mean is islam and i understand what they mean. i use it for a particular reason because it's in order to allow for the fact that there are muslims who are not extreme who do want to sign up to western values and we must acknowledge that and there are muslims who don't. those who don't buy call and others call islamists because they are trying to impose their doctrine and views on people that are not muslim and trying to impose the most hidebound antifreedom interpretation of the religion at its most narrow on muslims. so i called those people islamists. they are no threat to us. they say the whole time what their intention is, to re-create the whole islamic caliphate and the old muslim empire, to go beyond that and to conquer britain, to conquer america. they are very explicit and to impose sharia, the rule of islamic law upon anywhere that muslims live. those are islamists and some of them are violent. some of them equip themselves with weapons of w
