state does not represent islam or he says it isn't islamic. what i want to ask you is this -- you are very smart, and you understand that he's not writing an intellectual dissertation. this is not a thesis about the accurate way to describe isis. what he is trying to do is delet delegitimize them. and the king of jordan says please don't call them islamic. we don't call them islamic. the point is not that any of these leaders don't see that, of course, they are drawing on a version of islam, but they are trying to delegitimize it. by denying them that label. do you disagree with that strategy? >> i think the strategy of let's not call it islamic because we're going to delegitimize them has actually been tested. we've seen it in the u.s. since 9/11 2001. but in the muslim world, perhaps since three, four five decades ago, and it hasn't worked. it hasn't stopped them. >> let me understand. so you would rather the president of the united states say, yes, the islamic state is islamic, it draws on important strains within islam and islam is a bad r

when it comes to the islamic state group, the islamic state group is controlling about 80% of the entire province of salahuddin. so tikrit is very symbolic and very strategic, as well as i've said, for the government forces and their lives, because capturing tikrit will get them a big boost and gearing up in preparation for the big battle of mosul. just a few days ago, we had news coming from the pentagon and from the government forces that they are preparing up to thousands of troops to retake mosul. so now with all eyes on mosul, but in order to do that in order to dislodge the islamic state militants from mosul, they have to capture tikrit first. >> ahmed maher. >>> the vice president of sierra leone has voluntarily put himself into quarantine after one of his body guards dies from ebola. the battle against the virus continues with an unexpected rise recently in new cases. now, it is nearly a year since the world health organization declared an outbreak in the west african country of new guinea. and over the weeks that followed, this spread quickly reaching neighboring sierra leone an

they are authority of islam, and there's a mainstream current in islam that believe that the ancestors, the early -- the three generations of the first three generations of islam are a source of authority. they can't just rely on the quran, you have to rely on the interpretation of how these generations interpreted islam, right? so in a way you can argue against salafism, and that's one of the advantages of isis. they don't make you argue with them, they make you argue with salafism in general. so you get lost by it. you know, you need to deal with the centuries, you know, like centuries' worth of literature and sayings and fatwas. and be as long as you start -- and as long as you start becoming distracted by that you're good. that doesn't mean you don't deal with these problems. i think there's not enough attention to these kind of problems that like i said the historical precedent. but also religious, you know, precedents set by the prof pets -- prophets and by the first call lives who -- call lefts who, you know, the prophets recommended as sources of legislation for sunnis at least

who is entitled to speak for islam? leaders intellectuals and those many millions of muslims who believe that islam is a religion of tolerance and virtue must find their voice. silence is not acceptable. but silence is not what the world will hear from us. afghanistan is joining a new consensus that's emerging in the muslim world, a consensus that rejects intolerance, extremism and war. they have documented beautifully central asia's long tradition of rationalism and scientific inquiry. during islamest golden age they recorded all known knowledge of the medieval word giving the word, advances in algentleman bra astronomy, water resource managing, printing. this is the islamic civilization that needs to reinvent itself. the islamic world must understand its own gloriously tolerant and inquiz tiff past. it must re-engage with the world openly and without paranoia. we, the unity government of afghanistan, know that islam is a religion of peace. we are responding to extremist threats by building partnerships in the global,

they are not hiding in caves and on the margins of the islamic world. they have a lot of fellows who fought jihad from afghanistan, many against our forces in the iraq government forces in iraq as well as many against the government sources of bashar al assad in syria. they put all of these together and when you add those to the fact that the united states has not been there in any force. >> the terrorist army of isis is not estimated to have more than 30,000 fighters in 70 countries. the way they achieve their goals is horrific. >> when isis takes over it imposes strict islamic law such as amputations for stealing, cr crucifixions and such. isis refers to the two different passages. >> all indications show that many if not all isis fighters have a fanatic belief in fighting to the death. >> they really have in many ways an apocalyptic view point cht isis clearly is talking about end of time battles, armageddon type battles. >>> so isis is still on this quest to establish a caliphate. now using 21st century technology to terrorize. now they are using th

ultimately for so turkey r the islamic state. so turkey was serving its own national interest without regard for its long-standing to the united states. when isis invaded iraqi kurdistan regional government sent an envoy asking for weapons and support. they were told by the turkish counterpart that they cannot respond because they were presidential elections coming up on august 10th. after the elections the envoy went back to asking. during the battle president equated isis saying that they were a a terrorist group cut from the same cloth. turkish times above and watch the battle unfold without coming to the rescue of the -year-old defenders. i should add that 40 percent of the defenders were women. this was a huge strategic and public relations disaster. they showed the loyalty reports that were published. logistical connections between turks and the government of turkey and the islamic state fighters. the g hardy highway through turkey to syria. they provided weapons and financing and logistics. injured and. injured in the batt

, and so i don't expect to see huge chunks of africa under islamic state control. the area that boko haram currently controls is said to be roughly the size of the state of belgium. but even then we're seeing that campaigns conducted by chad or cameroon or the nigerian military itself have been eroding some of the territory that the islamic state controls. so i think it might be a bit too soon to talk about massive conquests of territory. but nevertheless, it is deeply concerning that this ideology is sweeping across the world. it's swept through the middle east, now making its way into northern africa as we as western africa. so something to continue to watch. >> that ideology would seem to be spreading although france was pretty successful in mali. you have the leader, baghdadi, abu bakr has been trying to imitate the leader of the islamic state. what has he been doing? how successful is this and can this encourage converts to boko haram like weave've seen those other foreign fighters go to join isis. >> the thing i'm concerned about is the broader ideology of is

if you have been on record attacking islam or trying to marginalize them believing in peaceful islam, it's hard to call on a reform of islam. i think it's happening. i would argue the creation of islam from day one was an act of revolution. trying to stop the oppression that was happening all across the gulf region area. the first verse of the koran is read. that is holding accountability. it's not letting the clerics define your religion, but you, as personal responsibility. once you're questioned, it would not be my first word was pray, cover, fast, it was read. and i think that that is a direct command from god in the koran which every muslim really takes seriously h terms of initiating change. >> you have an argument with that? >> i do. i think that -- i mention in my book that there are the five key concepts within islam that need to change. yes, the koran says read. but the koran says kill. and there are muslims who take that literally. yes, the prophet muhammad preached peace in mecca. but later on -- >> there are examples in the bible, the torah as well. those with the name of
