By their votes last november the people made clear that they wanted more accountability from this president. And by our votes here today, we will heed their will and we will keep our oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States of america. Woodruff it is unclear the bill can get the 60 votes needed to advance in the senate. But house democrats, including steve israel of new york, charged republicans are only interested in scoring points with supporters. We have a bill that should not be controversial, that should fund our homeland security, but has been turned into a Divisive Political strategy on immigration.

During a visit to ceder falls, iowa, a community that provides such services to its residents. I believe that a community has the right to makes its own choice, and to provide its own broadband if it wants to. Nobody is going to force you to do it, but if you want to do it if the community decides this is something that we want to do to give ourselves a Competitive Edge and to help our young people, and our businesses, they should be able to do it. Woodruff the president said his administration will give technical and Financial Aid to towns and cities that want to improve Internet Access.

And a historic climb up a near vertical wall in Yosemite National park. Woodruff todays events in france, from the arrests to the rush to buy the latest issue of Charlie Hebdo raise a number of questions about the limits of speech. We at the newshour have made the decision not to show the cartoon on the new cover of the satirical magazine depicting the prophet mohammad. The reason the offense it could cause people is greater than the news value. We want to explore these questions of freedom of expression with longtime radio france journalist and current Senior Editor bertrand vannier. And, daisy khan, executive director of the American Society for muslim advancement. We welcome you both to the program. Bertrand vannier, how much of a debate is there underway today in france about what has happened with Charlie Hebdo, with the new cover, the decision to show it or not to show it . I think that the opportunity for debate now, one on the political side, National Unity is still working. So theres a different debate in society and mainly in the Muslim Community. Many muslims in france are starting to say look, there are different standards here. You leave the Charlie Hebdo print of the cartoons and you leave the mosque unprotected. There have been 54 incidents against mosques in the last three days. Theres a double standard to towards the Muslim Population in france. We start to hear that kind of reflection. Woodruff daisy khan, is it a double standard, from your perspective, as a prominent muslim here in the United States . Judy, the problem is that muslims who live in the west are largely judged by the lens of National Security. Certainly here in america we are largely defined by what happened on 9 11 and, so, whatever muslims do is scrutinized. Since many muslims complain in the United States there is a double standard for them, that free speech is not they dont enjoy free speech if they criticize their government, they are seen as unpatriotic. If they criticize the policies of israel or even question them they are called antisemites and if they, you know call for examining the root causes of terrorism, they are seen as aiding and abetting. So there is a sense that free speech is not for muslims and that its only to be enjoyed by westerners. Woodruff bertrand vannier how do you as a news editor see it . Do you see a different set of standards when it comes to portraying muhammad when it comes to the Muslim Community . As a professional journalist i dont think so. I hope not. But, you know, im a journalist, im not the one to listen to what i say on the radio. So its very different depending on the side you are on. I can understand that if i were a muslim today in france which i am not, i could feel that there is definitely a double standard. Look, there was a vote in france a few years back which forbid the muslim woman to wear the burqa in a public space. They said you forbid us to wear the burqa, but you authorize Charlie Hebdo to print the cartoon. So thats an example of the double standards. I hope i dont know i hope that as journalists we are not doing the same. We need to find the two to work equally. Woodruff daisy khan, pick up on that. Is it seen as unfair because muslims are being, as you said lumped in with this National Security debate . Is it possible to separate whats going on right now out and say well, this is a conversation about journalism, about what is written about in the news media, about what pictures are drawn . I think the most important conversation we need to be having right now is about the rise of terrorism. You know, since 9 11 weve seen an increase in terrorism in spite of all the wars weve gone to and in spite of all the money thats been spent by western nations. Look at america, we have a footprint in many many muslim countries yet this terrorism seems to be flourishing. We dont have time for a deep commentary, but i would say what needs to happen is the beautiful display we saw in paris the other day when everybody came out hand in hand and basically we need to take it to the next level to see how we could collaborate together, Law Enforcement, muslim communities and government to see how we can really push back on terrorism which is flourishing everywhere. By the way, westerners are not the only ones getting killed by these terrorists. Muslims are the biggest victims of terrorism. So i know that muslims in france i visited recently i heard many perspectives, they are very anxious to work with Law Enforcement to prevent their communities from being harm, not only being harmed physically, but really its having a deep effect on the psyche of muslims and thats dangerous. Woodruff bertrand vannier, is it possible to separate the kind of unity daisy khan is describing, the need to focus on terrorist, the terrorist threat from this other debate thats going on . You described it yourself about what is and isnt permissible in the media. I dont know if its possible to separate the two debate and the two conversations these days in france after the Charlie Hebdo attack, its not possible to separate the two debates. It has to be separated because if its not youll start having a conversation about different views and different ideas within the Muslim Community where weve seen eyes closed to terrorist activities or terrorist ideas. So theres a thin line, and that thin line is seen today in france that there is a risk to put the Muslim Community on the back side of the debate. Woodruff daisy khan, i want to ask you, a number of News Organizations in the United States argue that it was acceptable to show this new cover of the magazine Charlie Hebdo because they say its a more acceptable portrait of the prophet muhammad. It shows him weeping. It has a statement all is forgiven over it. How do you as a muslim answer that . Well, i personally dont take offense to anything that is to provoke or push people over the edge. However, all the characters
