Whatever. its really for me, everything im getting is from the news media about this, you know, person. >> now this best friend also told me, greta, that he struggled between his islamic faith and, of course being a typical teenage young man shooting guns riding around in cars. and so i figured that if he would console anybody it would be the imam, his name is abdul baseet at the same mosque. >> did mohammed abdulazeez ever come to you with any signs or trouble. >> i think you learn about that i...

Prox myer when he was here. randal smith. i have seen it many times because of the assistance program for survivors is gut-wrenching to find out. a lot of people here are not only upset and angry and devastated by whats happened they are looking for answers as well. what he we are trying to get from talking to awful these people is insight as to how and why this happens. >> answers are not excuses. i you think he is obviously a terrorist. john, thank you. and "on the record" is investigating the...

Not only does islam have a problem he needs to say to muslim leaders they have to do more than condemn generic acts of violence. they need to condemn murderers. >> that is governor bobby jindal suggesting to "the kelly file" that people need to start telling the truth about islam. and while no direct link at this time has been established between this shooter and islamic extremists directly one d.c. based imam admits it will probably be he has done this in the name of some radical islam group an...

Sent to the f.b.i. lab in quantico, virginia. officials will see whether he had contact with isis or other terrorist groups. officials say he traveled to jordan last year and spent seven months overseas. investigators want to know who he met with and if any of his contacts attempted to radicalize him. "this life is short and bitter," the author s investigators have discovered two blog posts attributed to abdulazeez. "this life is short and bitter," the author says. "the opportunity to submit to ...

Would you give our leaders in this specific country to deal with radicalization within specific community that it is happening? >> i think ultimately we agree that this is combatting ideology of extremism. rather than giving hypothetical solution what im offering you is the worlds single largest united under one imam and under his leadership following his example showing how together we cannot only train our youth to reject all forms of extremism but become active members of community. we dont h...

For driving under the influence. officers wrote he was slurringhi his speech, had bloodshot eyesan and they say there was an odor of an alcoholic beverage and burnt marijuana. late today, we learned that in 2013 abdulazeez worked as an engineer at a nuclear power plant near cleveland, ohio. but a spokesperson for the plant says he was only employed there for ten days, did not enter secure areas of the plant and did not have access to any sensitive plant information. scott, plant officials say th...

I could well see a moderate imam saying the same thing and referring to sort of the variety and the multiplicity of islam and the various interpretations or it could mean the more purist fundamentalist strain. in other words, we take a very sort of small catholic a"c" connecticut lick a catholic approach to the faith. a lot of guys we interviewed for the book who ended up going off to join isis for instance began life as not even pious muslims. they didnt go to mosque didnt celebrate the holy da...

"many, many," she says. while next to her, a neighbor grieves silently for four of her brothers. everyone has lost someone in the fight against isis and other extremists. so you might think theyd back the u.s. air strikes on isis headquarters in raqqa, but youd be wrong. how do you see the heavy american raqqa? "its not real," mohammad mahmous tells me. "the u.s. finances isis and gives them weapons." in qardaha, its safer to buy into conspiracies than to admit that their local hero might have l...

Hes involved in criminal activity. he served time got out, ended up back in trouble and then he was released because the judge said there was insufficient evidence to hold him. is that the arcing narrative of this? >> its simplified of whats going on. yes, he was involved in criminal activity recently. he should have served no more than 20 months. he served the better part of four years. actually the government should be giving him time back. >> imam your thoughts -- ill give you the closing tho...

Government i mam? >> im like every other american. i have the same views you find a republican or democrat have. i have the same complaints and same things i praise the government for. >> give me our complaint. >> ill give you an example. when somebody in congress stands up and calls the president a liar and they are not considered to be a radical or have a grievance with the government then we spend money and go overseas and fight when we have poverty we need to deal with. thats a complaint of ...
