0:00:05 > 0:00:11'14 people were murdered in San Bernardino by home-grown Islamists.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16'Life for American Muslims would never be the same again,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20'as hate and violence was directed at them like never before.'
0:00:20 > 0:00:24This religion teaches that women should be raped
0:00:24 > 0:00:26for showing their face.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29'And when America accepted thousands of Syrian refugees
0:00:29 > 0:00:31'politicians joined in.'
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Donald J Trump is calling for a total
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40'Trump's popularity exposed a country
0:00:40 > 0:00:42'polarised by anti-Muslim hysteria.'
0:00:42 > 0:00:45There are a lot of incidents that go unreported,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48the man that starts beating a young Muslim man,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50screaming out, "Trump, Trump, Trump!"
0:00:50 > 0:00:54You can't give us any guarantee that your kid might someday
0:00:54 > 0:00:55strap on a suicide vest.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58You read the same Koran that Isis does!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02'I'm going to find out how America has got to a point
0:01:02 > 0:01:06'where it's become normal to label a whole community as terrorists.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:09If you're 18 years old and your name's Jamal
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and you've got the beard and the hat,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14kind of goes without saying that you're not allowed.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18'And where protesters come armed and ready for war.'
0:01:18 > 0:01:20If they think they're going to come to Texas
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and pull these jihad attacks like they do in France,
0:01:22 > 0:01:23it's not going to happen.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29'Are these fears justified? Is America really under attack?'
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Do you believe in jihad?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47The last year has seen a huge increase
0:01:47 > 0:01:49in anti-Islamic hate groups.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Their purpose - to free America of Muslims.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58And I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, to meet one of the most controversial.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00How's it going?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Hi, I'm Robert. Nice to meet you, man. Follow me.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05'Robert is the founder of protest group Bomb Islam
0:02:05 > 0:02:09'and is keen to show me how he spends his Fridays.'
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Tell us what you're doing here today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13What we're doing right now is we're going to do a little protest,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15me and a few of my friends here,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17that basically just lets these Muslims know
0:02:17 > 0:02:20that they're not going to get comfortable here in my state.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Why specifically have you chosen this mosque?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25One, it's the closest one where we can get right to where they enter
0:02:25 > 0:02:28so it's easiest to antagonise them here.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Two, the guy that flew the plane into the Pentagon,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33this was his mosque.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36'Robert's group is a small collection of Army veterans
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'determined to uphold American values.'
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Do you feel like you need that today?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I think in general there's a chance of terrorist attack
0:02:43 > 0:02:46anywhere and everywhere, at any point in time, especially today.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48We just know the history of Islam.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Since 632 AD it's been nothing but terror around the world.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56We don't want it here. This is America.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00See, right here is where you can get all sorts of halal meat.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03So if you're into animal torture, this is where you get the meat.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Are you real idiots? You have no clue of what you're living about.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Oh, yeah?- Yeah? - We believe in all the prophets.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- From the first prophet to the last. - Oh, yeah! Uh-huh?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- You also believe in Sharia law. - Could you read that?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Yes, this is the most hateful, sexist, racist,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- homophobic book I've ever read. - When you read the book...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Can you read it?- Yeah, absolutely. In fact I'm going to read it...
0:03:22 > 0:03:23No, no, no, no, no,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- read from the beginning. - ..and I'm going to rip it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27'Robert rips out a page of the Koran.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'Under UK law, these extreme protesters could be
0:03:31 > 0:03:33'arrested for religious hatred,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36'but the First Amendment protects Robert's freedom of speech.'
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- You terrorist! - LAUGHTER
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Why are you doing that?- Garbage is what this is, this is hate speech.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47This is racist, sexist, homophobic,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50advocates rape and paedophilia.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Has a Muslim ever done any harm to you?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Not to me personally, no, but they're doing harm to the country.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58They want to normalise their religion,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00they want people to think that they're peaceful,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02that they have a place here in America,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04when in reality they do not.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- You Muslim?- Yes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08So what do you think about Muhammad having sex with a nine-year-old?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Do you think that's paedophilia or do you think it was justified?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Nothing you're saying is going to get me mad...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Of course not. - ..because you're ignorant.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Does Sharia law believe in equal rights for women? Yes or no.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Yes, absolutely. - Since when?- OK, have you read it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24How come they got to wear a burka? And they can't show their face.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- That's not equal rights.- Look... Look...- Busted!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Careful, you might get acid thrown on your face,
0:04:29 > 0:04:30get too close to these guys.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33He said that he won't condemn Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And he won't say the US Constitution.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37What are you doing in America?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Because I love here. - 'The Big Satan' you consider it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Why don't you go back to a Muslim country and take Obama with you?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46You're a radicalist trying to destroy America.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47- Get out. - No, no, no.- Yes, you are!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50You can't give us any guarantee that your kid might someday
0:04:50 > 0:04:54strap on a suicide vest. You read the same Koran that Isis does!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- You guys jealous of Islam. - You guys suck.- Jealous of Islam?!
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Jealous of Islam, yes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Walk away cos you know you're wrong.- Coward.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Coward!- Coward!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Is wrong. This is what cause hate.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I know America - it's a free country.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13But you can't do that, you can't come to the mosque here
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and cause more hate, that's not right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23'I thought Robert had finished his abuse for one day
0:05:23 > 0:05:24'but I was wrong.'
0:05:26 > 0:05:29See, we got one right here wearing a trash bag on her head.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You don't even know that woman, you haven't spoken to her,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35you don't know anything about her. Why would you want to abuse her?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38She's making a statement by wearing that trash bag, saying,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40"I'm better than you, I'm a Muslim." You know.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43An Islamic supremacist, basically.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46They think that we're apes and pigs
0:05:46 > 0:05:50and that she is so much better than us that we can't see her hair.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52That's ridiculous.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55No, it is a ridiculous religion.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01'It's difficult for me to understand why Robert feels
0:06:01 > 0:06:04'the way he does, but anti-Muslim feeling is racing across America.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'55% of Americans have expressed some kind of negative views
0:06:08 > 0:06:10'towards Islam.'
0:06:15 > 0:06:19I'm taking a two-hour flight to Dallas, Texas.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Muslims have been living here for over 50 years.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26There are now 150,000 in the Dallas/Fort Worth area,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29one of the biggest populations in America.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37But could this also be the most Islamophobic place in America?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Armed militia groups have been protesting outside the mosques.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44The police arrested a 14-year-old Muslim schoolboy
0:06:44 > 0:06:47because they thought his science project looked like a bomb.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48GUNSHOTS
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And a man attacked a Muslim business,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54killing one person and injuring others.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58But today I'm here at the University of Texas,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01where a memorial has been organised
0:07:01 > 0:07:03to remember three American Muslim students
0:07:03 > 0:07:07who were sought out and gunned down in their own apartment.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10This event is called Balloons For Our Three Winners.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Each one of you has a balloon
0:07:11 > 0:07:13and on the balloon you have a quote attached to it.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15These quotes are from three victims
0:07:15 > 0:07:17that were murdered for their religion.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20The reason we're having this event is to honour their memory
0:07:20 > 0:07:22and show that their legacy still lives on.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Three, two, one...
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Go!
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Hate crimes targeting Muslims has tripled in the last year.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Fear is affecting Muslims here.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Because...some people, you don't know how far they're going to go,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53so some people are being hurt, some people are scared, erm...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I had security cameras installed around my house
0:07:56 > 0:07:59because I felt afraid, and I didn't feel like that before.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02One time I was driving and the car next to me,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05he started imitating, like, some... like, a gun with his fingers,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07as if he was shooting me,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and so I got really scared and I took a detour.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I was putting my groceries in the trunk
0:08:12 > 0:08:14when an individual approached me from behind.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18He was like, "Are you Muslim?" And I was like, "Yeah, I'm Muslim."
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And he showed me his gun, and he was like,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23"If I could use this right now, I would.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25"And I would kill you here right now."
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Only 20 minutes away from the university, I'm meeting
0:08:34 > 0:08:39one of the most extreme anti-Muslim groups operating in America.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46'After months of negotiation, I've finally got access to
0:08:46 > 0:08:49'the Bureau of American Islamic Relations, or Bair for short.'
0:08:49 > 0:08:53This is the one that takes the AR mags, right?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Haven't got to fire that one yet.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01'They think Islam is incompatible with the American Constitution
0:09:01 > 0:09:05'and that all Muslims are potential terrorists.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07'David Wright III is their leader.'
0:09:07 > 0:09:09What are you protecting?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I set up Bair as a resistance against radical Islam
0:09:12 > 0:09:15coming to America and killing innocent American people.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20We're protecting our state, our country, our families.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Constitution.- We're protecting our way of life, the Constitution,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25we're protecting all of it, everything.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Everything that you know and understand about America,
0:09:29 > 0:09:30that's what we're protecting.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Men, what are we?- Free men!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And we're going to remain free.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45'Bair have no faith in the government
0:09:45 > 0:09:48'and believe President Obama to be a Muslim.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51'They claim to run their own homeland security service
0:09:51 > 0:09:54'and they want to show me some evidence
0:09:54 > 0:09:56'that Bair think the FBI may have missed.'
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Y'all are familiar with what's going on up in Oregon right now.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03What do you think this place is?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08This is one of the areas that we're being told is used as a camp.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's a suspected terrorist training camp.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Most of the training takes place up here to the right,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16in the wood line, where you can't see it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19That is where they do the pistol training.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23A lot of the rest of their firearm training is actually done
0:10:23 > 0:10:26back in the wood line, with this being their main mosque.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Is it realistic to think there's a training camp here in Texas?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Isis and the Muslim Brotherhood have already admitted that they've
0:10:33 > 0:10:36got terrorist training facilities here in the United States.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And what other type of training are they going to do
0:10:39 > 0:10:42at a location like this in a rural area?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Why would they need to be in such a rural area
0:10:45 > 0:10:49to do any other training except weapons, firearms training
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and tactical training, where nobody can see what they're doing?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55This is definitely a target of interest
0:10:55 > 0:10:56we want to keep our eyes on.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01'With the target identified,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05'Bair have called an armed training exercise to prepare themselves
0:11:05 > 0:11:08'for a war with Muslims that they believe is coming.'
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'm proud to be called Big Daddy Infidel.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- Other guy said Infidel, I said Big Daddy Infidel!- Yeah, that's it!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18If they think they're going to come to Texas
0:11:18 > 0:11:20and pull these jihad attacks like they do in France,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23things like that, and get away with it, it's not going to happen.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25There's a gun behind every blade of grass.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28A lot of them are going to see this and they're going to know
0:11:28 > 0:11:31that they try their jihad shit in Texas, ain't going to work out!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34If you fuck with America, we fuck with you back.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38How can we vet them to come into America?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I don't care if they're eight or ten years old,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42there's a possibility that they have a problem with us,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44and their whole philosophy is "death to America",
0:11:44 > 0:11:46so why would they even want to come here
0:11:46 > 0:11:48unless they were going to blow something up?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- That's right.- Or shoot people. - It's common sense, isn't it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52It's common sense, so...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54If you're 18 years old and your name's Jamal
0:11:54 > 0:11:57and you've got the beard and the hat,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00it kind of goes without saying that you're not allowed.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Yeah, this is like our little training camp,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08our little forward operating base.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It's very private and out of the way.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17A place we can come to be left alone and...it's quiet.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Until we get started shooting, then it's not so quiet.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Ready to the left?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Ready to the right?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Send them down!- Get them out!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Whoa, yeah!- Whoohoo!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43LAUGHTER
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Too bad I can't shake the man's hand that did that for real.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51'Seeing the size of some of the weaponry makes me wonder
0:12:51 > 0:12:53'what sort of an attack they're expecting.'
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- What's this?- It's a .50-cal BMG.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58These are the rounds for it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00LAUGHTER
0:13:00 > 0:13:02So what would that do to a person?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You probably wouldn't have much of a head left.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Which actually you wouldn't, I've seen plenty of videos of that.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09What are you preparing for?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13I think that more or less it's good to be prepared for what's to come,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17especially with all these Syrian refugees coming over here.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19They just arrested a fella in Houston
0:13:19 > 0:13:21that was planning to go blow up a mall over here,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23and stuff like that,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26so they're not as all peaceful as everybody makes them out to be.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Christians aren't going to take shit from people.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Especially from Muslims.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Europe is what we're trying to avoid here.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38The Muslim refugees rioting and things like that,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42raping women, and the police not really prosecuting them.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43It's absolutely insane.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45If that comes here,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48we're not going to worry about the police taking care of us.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50We're going to take care of ourselves.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55'Whilst today was just a training exercise,
0:13:55 > 0:13:56'in two weeks' time
0:13:56 > 0:14:00'these guys are planning a protest at a local mosque
0:14:00 > 0:14:02'with guns and live ammunition.'
0:14:06 > 0:14:09'And I can't help worry that this mix of anti-Muslim feeling
0:14:09 > 0:14:13'and a passion for firearms could be a lethal combination.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16'Especially when you consider the strength of feeling
0:14:16 > 0:14:17'second-in-command John has.'
0:14:17 > 0:14:21What do you really think about Islam?
0:14:21 > 0:14:28I can actually tolerate cannibalism from South America over, er, Islam.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Because I don't see cannibals trying to run out of their territory
0:14:32 > 0:14:34and take over the entire world,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38where Islam has made it absolutely clear that is their mission.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Islam needs to be banned in the United States.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44You know, you want Sharia law, you want your set of rules,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47go back to your country, where you came from.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I have come downtown, to meet American-born Omar Suleiman,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04one of the most prominent imams in the United States.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07He sees Islamophobia everywhere.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09SHOUT FROM PASSING CAR
0:15:11 > 0:15:14There you go, you got something. I just threw him up a peace sign,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- that's all.- What did he say to you? - I don't know.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm so used to getting yelled at that sometimes,
0:15:19 > 0:15:23I can't even make out what they are saying anymore, so...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I don't know if it's, "Hi, how's it going?"
0:15:26 > 0:15:28or it's, "Go back home," or, "Go to hell."
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's always something different,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32so you just throw up a peace sign every time.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36There are a lot of incidents that go unreported, that we hear about,
0:15:36 > 0:15:40that go unreported. So, when someone stalks a Muslim woman
0:15:40 > 0:15:43in a parking lot and threatens them with violence,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45that doesn't go reported, but it is there
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and it is becoming a daily reality for people.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51And then you have got the man that jumps off his motorcycle
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and starts beating a young Muslim man,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55screaming out, "Trump, Trump, Trump!"
0:15:55 > 0:15:57CAR HORN BLARES
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Where has this come from? How have we got here?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03With a very systematic dehumanisation
0:16:03 > 0:16:09of 1.8 billion people. That's how we got here.
0:16:09 > 0:16:16Through media, through the movies, through our reckless politicians.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Sadly, it is where we're at.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Omar is worried that this is only the beginning
0:16:24 > 0:16:26and America could be heading back
0:16:26 > 0:16:28to a much darker place in its history.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31The reason why I brought you here is that,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34just a little over 100 years ago,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37a man by the name of Allen Brooks was dragged out
0:16:37 > 0:16:41of the second floor of the old courthouse by an angry lynch mob
0:16:41 > 0:16:47and they dragged him on the street and they lynched him here,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51at this intersection. The fact that this happened in America
0:16:51 > 0:16:52only over 100 years ago,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54what it shows us is that we have been here before,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58that we have had this... we have had this ugly past
0:16:58 > 0:17:00that we have to come to terms with.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02If we are going to truly say "never again"
0:17:02 > 0:17:03then we should not allow ourselves
0:17:03 > 0:17:06to fall for the same traps that allowed us to dehumanise people
0:17:06 > 0:17:08to the point that they could be lynched
0:17:08 > 0:17:10in front of men, women and children
0:17:10 > 0:17:12without anyone seeing any problem with that,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14any moral conflict with that.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17When you dehumanise a people enough, that is what you can do to them.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25But it is not history David is concerned with.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27It is the future of the America he grew up in.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30He is worried that more of his beloved Texas
0:17:30 > 0:17:32will be taken over by Muslims.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35We're going to go and scout out the area around the mosque.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Drive through the neighbourhoods around there
0:17:40 > 0:17:44and tell you guys how they have changed all the street names.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46They have Islamic street names now.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52When I was a kid, running around that area with my friends,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56all the street names were American-sounding street names.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00To drive over there now and see these changes...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04..it's kind of disturbing.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08It makes us feel like they're not trying to assimilate...
0:18:10 > 0:18:15..and be American. They are trying to bring the Middle East to America.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I can see David become uncomfortable
0:18:24 > 0:18:26as we enter the Muslim neighbourhood.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28This one, Al Razi...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32HE READ ANOTHER STREET NAME
0:18:34 > 0:18:38You want to grab something to eat here at the Kasbah Cafe(?)
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Yeah, that's Muslim.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Now, have you seen anyone other than Muslims
0:18:47 > 0:18:49in this neighbourhood since we have been here?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Nothing but. Nothing but Muslims in the whole neighbourhood.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55And look at all the money that's in here.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I mean, these are some rich Muslims
0:18:57 > 0:18:59and they're taking over.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00They've got the money to do it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02They've got the money to do it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09See, that is just creepy right there. Did you see that?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11That is just creepy.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I mean, it feels Satanic to me when I see these people.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15They are dressed in black
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and it's all covering their face and their eyes are dark looking.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It's...very Satanic, to me.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32David's feelings about Muslims seems to be a weird mix of hate and envy.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But I am keen to speak to some of the younger members up there
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and find out why they feel the way they do.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44KNOCKING
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Hey, guys, how are you? - Fine. You OK?- Yeah, I'm good.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- You guys?- Yeah.- Come on in.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54'Franklin is 23 and one of the newest members of the group.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56'He is also a reformed burglar.'
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Tell me where your views about Muslims came from.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Well, my first experience with the Muslim was actually in prison.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08That experience was...this man tried to convert me immediately.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Of course, me not knowing anything about it, I was like,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16"Well, you guys don't believe in Jesus. That is my saviour."
0:20:16 > 0:20:19He started, "No, we do believe in Jesus."
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I brushed that off. "I'm not going to convert to Islam."
0:20:22 > 0:20:26And then I started picking up the Koran and picking up the Hadith,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28which is the words of the Prophet,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30to see that it's not just the select few,
0:20:30 > 0:20:35that they're taught from a very young age -
0:20:35 > 0:20:38indoctrinated, I would say - with these beliefs.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43They are instilled with an unwavering hate of Jews,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46of all things not Islam.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49What percentage of Syrian refugees coming in here
0:20:49 > 0:20:52do you think are terrorists or will be terrorists?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Um...
0:20:57 > 0:20:58All of them.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Really?- They are all reading the same Koran,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05they are all reading the same Hadith, so Islam is Islam.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I mean, it will be a cool day in hell
0:21:07 > 0:21:11if you can convince me that what I'm seeing is not real.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Franklin's anger at America letting in so many Muslims
0:21:15 > 0:21:18has led him to make a big decision.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20What have you done about how you feel about the situation?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Well, I mean, with the current state of America,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26it has me on edge.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30It drove me...to take a stand,
0:21:30 > 0:21:35to make a choice in my life that will benefit me and my family
0:21:35 > 0:21:37and, hopefully, all of America.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38And that decision for me
0:21:38 > 0:21:42was to run for office at a national level,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- at a Congressional level. - This is your website, yeah?
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Yeah. What I'm aiming to do is use my salary as a Congressman
0:21:50 > 0:21:54and fund other like-minded individuals who will take action,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57who will not sit idly by and watch their nation be destroyed.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00One of the pages, I noticed, you accept donations or something.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01You have asked for money.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Well, if we click on that, what that does is
0:22:04 > 0:22:11that takes you to a GoFundMe account for me and, of course,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- I have nothing! - Where does it say nothing?- Zero!
0:22:14 > 0:22:15FRANKLIN LAUGHS
0:22:15 > 0:22:19My goal is to get whatever I can get!
0:22:20 > 0:22:21How realistic do you think it is
0:22:21 > 0:22:24that you will actually run for office in 2020?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Oh...it's happening.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30It's...it's... I will figure out a way.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35If I can't get any donations and nobody wants to contribute
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and I have to go out and do it alone, I will go out and do it alone
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and I will find a way to run in 2020
0:22:40 > 0:22:41and I will find a way to win in 2020.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I mean, it's a sure thing. Whoever I run against,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I don't care what committee position they hold
0:22:48 > 0:22:52or how long they have been in Congress...I will win.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Franklin has an unwavering belief in himself
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and his liberty as an American.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07What I want to know is
0:23:07 > 0:23:11when does one person's freedom become another person's blasphemy?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Hello! Come on in.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21I am meeting Dorrie, an author of books on Islamic extremists,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24and someone who sees no problem with upsetting Muslims.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27This is, basically, my little corner of the world
0:23:27 > 0:23:29where I do all my research and all my study
0:23:29 > 0:23:33with many, many, many books.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37This is the latest one that came out that I'm working on.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42I was asked to speak, two years ago it would have been,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45when Isis began to rise.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48And one of the things I figured that I absolutely had to have
0:23:48 > 0:23:51was this information on these maps,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53to see where everything was actually happening.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58I do this because it is extremely critical
0:23:58 > 0:24:03that people understand what Islam is doing to the world.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Dorrie's belief in free speech
0:24:06 > 0:24:10led to her involvement in a controversial art exhibition.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13You cannot draw pictures of Muhammad, because it's slander,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15and that is something they don't like.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17And it's a killing offence.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21It is, literally, capital punishment, in Sharia law.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24So we all said, "Let's just stand up and show these people
0:24:24 > 0:24:27"that you can't do that in the United States.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29"We MUST protect our freedom of speech.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34"Let's just draw Muhammad, you know? Let's just have some big contest."
0:24:34 > 0:24:37The art contest was everybody who wanted to draw something
0:24:37 > 0:24:40having to do with Muhammad.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Tom Trento, live from
0:24:44 > 0:24:47the Muhammad Art Exhibition -
0:24:47 > 0:24:50the first, inaugural presentation of this type.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I was very excited to go to it. It was something that I knew
0:24:53 > 0:24:56was going to make a direct effect
0:24:56 > 0:24:59on freedom of speech in the United States
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and I was happy to do it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05There was a great deal of security before we could get in.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07We all went in, we were all checked out.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10It was..it was quite secure.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14But hosting such a controversial event
0:25:14 > 0:25:17was always going to be a security risk.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Get back in the building!
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Shots fired.- Shots just got fired. - We don't know that for a fact.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The rumour started from somewhere
0:25:26 > 0:25:31that there has been gunshots fired. There is two people shooting at us.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34It was surreal. We were inside.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37We did not know what was going on outside.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40We have a little situation developing, live, right now.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The security people are running like crazy outside.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Somebody said, "We have no idea if shots have been fired."
0:25:48 > 0:25:53They were Americans in Islamic clothing,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58who were headed for us, to kill us, because they didn't want us to talk.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Two suspects have been shot.- Wow. - Possibly have explosives on them.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- That is what we are worried about right now.- Were the suspects Muslim?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I have no idea right now.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11The two attackers were American Muslims inspired by Isis.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Then, we heard that the two shooters were dead.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17And, from that point on, it was pretty much of a party.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23This is the winning cartoon. And it's very direct.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26They tell us, "You can't draw Muhammad."
0:26:26 > 0:26:30And the cartoonist, being very independent,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32says, "Well, you can't tell me I can't,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35"so that is why I am going to draw you."
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- And that is the American spirit. - Do you realise how offensive
0:26:38 > 0:26:42an art competition like that would be to Muslims?
0:26:42 > 0:26:47I think it is really just too bad if you're offended.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52They offend me all the time.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54They tried to kill me.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Do you think- that's- not offensive?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02David is a firm believer in his freedoms as an American.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06And he is not letting the risk of further acts of terrorism
0:27:06 > 0:27:07stop him from protesting.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12When these people were having the draw the Prophet Muhammad event,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16which, in America, we don't only believe in the Second Amendment -
0:27:16 > 0:27:20to carry a gun - we believe in the First Amendment,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22which is freedom of speech and expression.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26If you want to draw pictures of somebody,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28then you should be able to do that.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And someone wants to kill them over that?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33It's pretty ridiculous.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38So...we're protesting in front of mosques.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's similar to what they were doing there.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45And we know that the terrorists will come and try and attack us,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48if they get the idea in their heads,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50so why would we not be prepared for that?
0:27:51 > 0:27:56And when you're dealing with radical extremists
0:27:56 > 0:28:00who set people on fire in cages, cut off heads -
0:28:00 > 0:28:03when you're protesting against people like that,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- you almost- have- to use your Second Amendment to protect your First.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12ISLAMIC CALL TO PRAYER
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Today, Irving Mosque is hosting a welcome day
0:28:14 > 0:28:17for some of the newly-arrived refugees
0:28:17 > 0:28:19who have escaped war in the Middle East.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23These are the lucky ones. Since 2012,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26only 2,000 have been allowed into America.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32They have been through a two-year security vetting process...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38..but Bair are still convinced they are terrorists
0:28:38 > 0:28:40and have organised a protest at the mosque.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45They have come armed and prepared in case the refugees attack them.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47What have you got here?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51It's an AK, an AK, an AK and a 308.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- And some body armour. - Just a standard shotgun
0:28:56 > 0:28:57with combat shells.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01High impact with three steel balls.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Take off a door or knock down a man.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Why do you need guns here?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11We've had five protests and we were armed at all of them.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13And nobody got hurt, OK?
0:29:13 > 0:29:18Terrorists attack unarmed crowds. They do not attack armed crowds.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22It's a deterrent. Why do you think they have not attacked us?
0:29:32 > 0:29:33HORN TOOTING
0:29:33 > 0:29:36We have already had one detractor and one supporter.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39The detractor said, "Leave them people alone,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41"you fucking country boy."
0:29:44 > 0:29:46HORN TOOTING
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I am shocked by the support of the passers-by.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Right on, brother!
0:29:53 > 0:29:55We've got four approvals and one disapproval, so far.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59The silent majority of America is making their voices heard.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01MAN SHOUTS
0:30:01 > 0:30:02HORN HONKS
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Thumbs up. Another thumbs up.
0:30:05 > 0:30:0616-2.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08THEY CHEER
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Only a lone voice stands up for the Muslims.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Who's this lady?
0:30:15 > 0:30:16They got a sign.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18"Refugees welcome". Uh-oh.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I'm afraid you're going to have to go someplace else.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23It's a free country and it's a free sidewalk.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I'm not going to sit here and have another debate
0:30:25 > 0:30:28for somebody that's ignorant and doesn't do their research.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29You're a white woman, right?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Well, guess what, you'll be their sex slave,
0:30:32 > 0:30:33if they decide to keep you around.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35You want that shit here?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Look at every country that has accepted these so-called refugees.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Get out of here, sit down.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Why have you decided to come out here today?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45I am willing to drag my disabled ass out of bed on a Saturday,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49because I heard that armed people might be protesting
0:30:49 > 0:30:51the American Islamic Center -
0:30:51 > 0:30:53which I consider, basically, to be terrorism.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56People like that. She's never picked up a Koran.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Yet she's out here supporting them.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59They just want peace.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03They've probably done a little bit of LSD in their college days,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05and they just - peace, love and happiness.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07There are real evils in this world.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09..passport and I'll buy your tickets online...
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I wonder if I'm seeing the real characters in Bair,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15where a group of armed men are happy to bully a lone woman.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18You're not a soldier, you've never fought.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- See that? I fought.- Uh-huh.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I have the right to say what I've got to say. You do not.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31HE CHUCKLES
0:31:33 > 0:31:35CALL TO PRAYER
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Inside the mosque,
0:31:37 > 0:31:41the refugees refuse to be intimidated by Bair's protest.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43They're just glad to be safe,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46having escaped their war-torn homeland.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I was willing to go and talk to them,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01because I'm looking to... I'm very open to talk to them,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03to listen to the other view, to share my view,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07I was afraid maybe someone is going to be a little bit offensive
0:32:07 > 0:32:08or something like that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Despite the hostile reception given to the refugees...
0:32:14 > 0:32:19..Omar is preaching a message of understanding in a nearby mosque.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22When we see people that are yelling and screaming,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24when we see people that hate our guts,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28whether they're holding up signs and telling you to go back home
0:32:28 > 0:32:31or whether they're just people that are giving you, you know,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34nasty stares in public, whatever it may be,
0:32:34 > 0:32:35it allows us to not hate them,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38it allows us to actually want good for them,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40it allows us to be able to go to them
0:32:40 > 0:32:42and to try to win over their hearts.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46They're not in a position where their minds can absorb anything.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48They've been too blocked by the hate.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56He may teach tolerance, but I want to know
0:32:56 > 0:33:00if he thinks he can prevent extremism in his own community.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I make very well clear
0:33:02 > 0:33:05that there are no young people in my community that hold those views.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I talk to them on a daily, on a nightly, basis,
0:33:07 > 0:33:11outside of the mosque. If you see me here outside the mosque,
0:33:11 > 0:33:13every single day, you will see me talking to people.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16I make sure that if those views start to creep into our community,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18we crush them right away.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20So, I don't know what more I could except that -
0:33:20 > 0:33:22and, of course, I counter,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25use the online platform that God has blessed me with,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28to counter that message - and I've been threatened for it,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31and I have, you know, I...
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I've been called multiple names for it, many names for it,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37and I don't care. I'm going to keep doing it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Not because of Bair, but because of God
0:33:39 > 0:33:42and because of who I believe I should be, as a Muslim.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45So, I have no problem assuming that responsibility,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I don't need anyone with a gun standing in front of my mosque
0:33:48 > 0:33:50to tell me I need to do that. I'm already doing it.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I've been doing it before this group even existed.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- REPORTER:- Just another day in the United States of America.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Another day of gunfire, panic and fear.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07But the fact is, American Muslims have carried out attacks.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Like the one in San Bernardino,
0:34:09 > 0:34:12when 14 people were murdered.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Omar believes that the people who commit these crimes
0:34:17 > 0:34:22don't go to mosques or talk to imams like him.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25He believes they're commonly radicalised online.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28It's here on faceless forums and networks
0:34:28 > 0:34:31that extremist views are aired.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36It's on one such website I made contact with a Muslim
0:34:36 > 0:34:38who is prepared to talk.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42He's concerned for his safety,
0:34:42 > 0:34:46so we have to meet on his terms and without knowing his real name...
0:34:49 > 0:34:52..but we're only 15 minutes from Omar's mosque.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04KNOCK AT DOOR
0:35:05 > 0:35:07DOOR OPENS
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Good. Can we sit down?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- Yes.- OK.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16So, do you want to tell us about how you feel?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Are you angry at America?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41America's killed your friends.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Do you believe in jihad?
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Is jihad the way forward?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Sharia law throughout America?
0:37:00 > 0:37:01And that's what you believe?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08How would the American Constitution fit into that?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10It wouldn't fit in, would it?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32This man lives lawfully in America, and denounces violence,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34yet his vision for the future
0:37:34 > 0:37:37is at odds with the Texans I've met so far.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40THUNDER RUMBLES
0:37:55 > 0:37:59The next time I see David, he has his sights on a different target.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Bair are going after the Nation of Islam,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04an African-American movement
0:38:04 > 0:38:07that believes in both the Koran and the Bible
0:38:07 > 0:38:11and are controversial for their links with black supremacy.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13If you're after radical Islamists,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15why are you going to the Nation of Islam?
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Well, because the Nation of Islam is full of radical people
0:38:19 > 0:38:20who are Islamic.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25They... They have some different methods,
0:38:25 > 0:38:30and the Nation of Islam is mostly African-American members.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32They have some different ideology
0:38:32 > 0:38:35compared to the Arab Muslims in North Dallas,
0:38:35 > 0:38:37but when you get down to it,
0:38:37 > 0:38:42it's all the same violent death cult, you know?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45"If you're not one of us, you die."
0:38:45 > 0:38:47So, that's why we're protesting Nation of Islam.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54John is researching its current leader.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Louis Farrakhan has called, on multiple occasions,
0:38:58 > 0:39:05for a 10,000-man Muslim army to start a race war.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09'The Koran teaches persecution is WORSE than slaughter.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13'Then it says, we MUST rise up...'
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- 'Yeah!' - '..and kill those who kill us.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21'Stop them and kill them
0:39:21 > 0:39:27'and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling.'
0:39:27 > 0:39:32And he's preaching straight out of the Koran.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36And that's supposed to be the same book
0:39:36 > 0:39:41that Richardson Mosque says promotes peace.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45They are promoting violence.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49But on the eve of the protest,
0:39:49 > 0:39:53an online war of words breaks out between the two groups.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09John is worried that someone is going to get hurt...
0:40:11 > 0:40:14..so, he arranges a meeting with the police.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17I'm told it's off-limits,
0:40:17 > 0:40:20making me wonder what's really going on.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22We're ready to roll.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30It's the day of the protest, and all is quiet...
0:40:32 > 0:40:36..with only the Nation of Islam members visible,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39standing guard outside their mosque.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43There's only one person on the premises that could speak
0:40:43 > 0:40:44and I'm going to ask him, to go and see
0:40:44 > 0:40:46if he would be willing to speak to you.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Hang tight, OK?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Outside the mosque, there's a tension in the air
0:40:52 > 0:40:54and it's clear there are others here
0:40:54 > 0:40:56who are not followers of the Nation of Islam,
0:40:56 > 0:40:58but who are they?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Could you tell us about what's happening today,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- or what's happened so far? - What's happening here today
0:41:02 > 0:41:06is we're having threats of protests from, er...a group.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08They're misguided.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12I think they need a better education on who they're criticising
0:41:12 > 0:41:15and who they're protesting against.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16We're not the aggressors,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18but we will fight with those that fight with us.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- All right.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21If you turn around,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23there's probably a lot of people you can get on camera.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- It'll be much more fun.- There you go, look.- There you go, right there.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Out of nowhere, came dozens of heavily-armed counterprotesters,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37looking very well prepared for conflict.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43If you're unarmed, if you do not have an arm...
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Get that camera out of my face, man.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Back off, back off.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Get that camera out of my face, man.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52These were not members of the Nation of Islam,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54but allied militant black power groups
0:41:54 > 0:41:57that feared an invasion of white supremacists.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Why have you come out today?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02We're here to monitor and observe the activities of Bair.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04That's primarily what our position is.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08We heard that they threatened the South Dallas community.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11We're here to stand in solidarity with the Nation of Islam
0:42:11 > 0:42:13and recognise the brothers and sisters of the
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Nation of Islam's God-given right
0:42:15 > 0:42:18to practise religious freedom without getting impeded upon.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28An hour passed and there was still no sign of Bair.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Eventually, word started to filter out -
0:42:34 > 0:42:36they weren't coming.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39The white supremacists said they was coming to our neighbourhood,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41but they didn't show up.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46You know why they didn't show up? Because we were here in solidarity.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49They didn't come when they said they was going to come.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55A few miles away and I find John back at Bair HQ,
0:42:55 > 0:42:58but he doesn't look pleased.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03What happened was, we were told by the Dallas Police Department
0:43:03 > 0:43:06not to show up to a protest today,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08which was the Nation of Islam -
0:43:08 > 0:43:11and now it's being put out all over the website
0:43:11 > 0:43:15that the counterprotesters are showing up
0:43:15 > 0:43:18and still protesting, where we were told to stand down
0:43:18 > 0:43:21and we're being called the ones that were the no-show.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23I'm pissed.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24I hate to take you on that ride,
0:43:24 > 0:43:27but you're about to see a side of me you don't want to see.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Why?- Because I'm ready to go down there now, hunt them down
0:43:30 > 0:43:32and beat the shit out of them.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35They want to fight? I'll... I'm your huckleberry.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44All right, we're getting ready to move out.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46But John's too late.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49We appreciate everybody that came out to support the mosque.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53Hey, man, hey, man. Get that camera out of my face, man.
0:43:56 > 0:43:57And with Bair not coming,
0:43:57 > 0:44:01there's an air of triumph for the Nation of Islam supporters.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03All right, come on, let's go, let's go.
0:44:03 > 0:44:04Come on, come on.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07The protest just finished up,
0:44:07 > 0:44:10so we can't rally up and go down there, now.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14We got caught with our pants down and we got screwed.
0:44:14 > 0:44:19Right now, we need to actually do damage control right now,
0:44:19 > 0:44:21because we were set up by DPD,
0:44:21 > 0:44:22and get that fixed.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27I'm sorry. I'm extremely pissed,
0:44:27 > 0:44:29to say the least.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37In the days that follow, David and John fall out.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40John, it seems, was the only Bair member at the police meeting
0:44:40 > 0:44:42and David thinks he may have bottled it,
0:44:42 > 0:44:47worried about the aggression of the militant counterprotest.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Are you going to kick John out of Bair?
0:44:52 > 0:44:53I have no idea.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55We haven't gotten far enough in this process
0:44:55 > 0:44:57for me to know that, one way or the other, yet.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00- Yeah.- That's as honest as I can be.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02I can't say, one way or another, right now, for sure.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04But you've got something to replace him?
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Well, I mean, yeah,
0:45:06 > 0:45:09it's not the end-all, be-all of the whole movement.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12If me and John decide to go separate ways, yeah, there is
0:45:12 > 0:45:14other people out there, of course.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17Does that mean that I'm going to need them? I don't know.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20When me and him sit down and talk, if I say, "Hey,
0:45:20 > 0:45:22"I would like to do things this way next time, instead of the way
0:45:22 > 0:45:26"we did it this time," and he goes, "No, I want to do it the same way,"
0:45:26 > 0:45:27then I'm going to have to say,
0:45:27 > 0:45:29"Well, no, I don't want to do it the same way.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31And that's, kind of, how it's going to go.
0:45:31 > 0:45:36He has talents and he has a lot of things that he brings
0:45:36 > 0:45:42to the table, you know. But... If it doesn't get worked out,
0:45:42 > 0:45:46in a reasonable amount of time... I mean, if it's creating dysfunction,
0:45:46 > 0:45:48we would have to get rid of John.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58With Bair in turmoil,
0:45:58 > 0:46:02could there be an opportunity to draw the two communities together?
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Omar wants a meeting with them.
0:46:08 > 0:46:13There is no doubt in my mind, the more Americans that encounter
0:46:13 > 0:46:19Muslims at a human level, the more this bigotry is going to disappear,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22because statistic after statistic has shown
0:46:22 > 0:46:24that Americans that have actually sat with Muslims
0:46:24 > 0:46:29and known them on a human level are very unlikely to hold
0:46:29 > 0:46:32these types of views about Muslims and things of that sort.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34So, it's a united fight. We have to come together to
0:46:34 > 0:46:39fight against all forms of violence, and we have to form alliances,
0:46:39 > 0:46:43like-minded people that want to see a world of peace.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53He has invited Franklin, who wants
0:46:53 > 0:46:56to run for Congress on an anti-Muslim ticket,
0:46:56 > 0:46:58to a roadside barbecue with Syrian refugees.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Is this the first time you've actually spoken
0:47:02 > 0:47:04- to a Muslim in depth? - It will be, yes.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07You have very strong views about them, don't you?
0:47:07 > 0:47:10- I do, I do, yes.- Briefly, what are your feelings about Muslims?
0:47:10 > 0:47:15That they are involved in an orchestrated plot
0:47:15 > 0:47:18to infiltrate America, overthrow its government
0:47:18 > 0:47:22and implement a global caliphate and global sharia.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26- A total Islamic nation.- Are you going to tell him that?- Absolutely.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31What do you think of them, when you see them?
0:47:31 > 0:47:35- What do you think, when you look out there?- Distrust. I think they are...
0:47:35 > 0:47:37I think this is fake, this is just a front.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41"Oh, look at us, we're peace-loving Muslims.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43"Hey, come on over, let's talk."
0:47:44 > 0:47:46I'm ready, if we are.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54Nice to meet you.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56My name is Franklin. Omar, it's nice to meet you.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Are you willing to acknowledge that there is a problem
0:47:59 > 0:48:03in the Muslim world, groups like Isis and Isil,
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram - there's hundreds of them.
0:48:06 > 0:48:10But one thing that's in common with every single one of them
0:48:10 > 0:48:13is that they are Islamic, in some way, shape or form.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17It is an underlying evil to the Islamic faith.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20Characteristic of what I would attribute
0:48:20 > 0:48:23to people who worship Satan.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Do I believe that there are radical groups that are using the religion
0:48:27 > 0:48:29and that are doing terrible things in the name of him?
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Yes. But the greatest victims of these groups are Muslim.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34You might be surprised to hear this,
0:48:34 > 0:48:37but I am actually on Isis's hit list.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39All right? I have actually been targeted by them,
0:48:39 > 0:48:42and at the same time, I'm being told by other people
0:48:42 > 0:48:44that you're not doing enough to fight Islamic radicalism.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47I'm like, "Look, I'm actually putting my life on the line."
0:48:47 > 0:48:50And when I take my daughter to a mosque, my six-year-old daughter,
0:48:50 > 0:48:55and she sees people holding guns and she comes home and she says,
0:48:55 > 0:48:58"Why do they want to kill us? Why do they hate us?"
0:48:58 > 0:49:00I mean, to me, that is extremism.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04If you knew that the environment that you helped create
0:49:04 > 0:49:08led someone to actually pull a trigger one of those Muslim kids,
0:49:08 > 0:49:11an innocent Muslim, would you be able to sleep at night
0:49:11 > 0:49:14knowing that you could have fuelled that? That that environment
0:49:14 > 0:49:16you created could have could have led to that Islamophobia
0:49:16 > 0:49:19which has claimed the lives of innocent people?
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Omar is keen for Franklin to meet some of the refugees
0:49:26 > 0:49:28he has been protesting against.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Can you tell Omar what you told me
0:49:31 > 0:49:34about what you think of the Syrian refugees?
0:49:34 > 0:49:38I have a fear that...all of them coming over are terrorists,
0:49:38 > 0:49:41I guess, or in one way or another, support it.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44I mean, I think there is an issue
0:49:44 > 0:49:49and I think it is very plausible for Isis sending over nothing but...
0:49:51 > 0:49:54So, do you not see that these people are just victims,
0:49:54 > 0:49:58families that are fleeing war, they are fleeing conflict, they are
0:49:58 > 0:50:01the greatest victims of these things that we're seeing on TV.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03To us, it's all happening over there.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07To them, this was their daily reality.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09- She's adorable. - HE CHUCKLES
0:50:09 > 0:50:12This little girl, she was in her living room
0:50:12 > 0:50:16when a bomb fell on top of her and she had her leg taken away from her.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19These are right in front of your eyes.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21She's just a little girl.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26I mean, when I was five, I wasn't worried about a bomb
0:50:26 > 0:50:28or mortar going to hit my home.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30I mean, it, kind of, puts into perspective
0:50:30 > 0:50:36the reality of these types of situations - wars, civil wars -
0:50:36 > 0:50:39and people trying to get away from them.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44I'm willing to walk away reconsidering that
0:50:44 > 0:50:46it's not all Islam.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50When I see something like that little girl, it's hard to say no...
0:50:50 > 0:50:55I wouldn't... I can say I don't want refugees,
0:50:55 > 0:50:58but if that little girl was looking at me saying,
0:50:58 > 0:51:02"Please let me into America, I want to escape this war,"
0:51:02 > 0:51:07I would be unable to tell her no.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10I mean, you'd have to be heartless to see that
0:51:10 > 0:51:12and see that type of situation and know that story,
0:51:12 > 0:51:17and to still say, "No, you shouldn't be here, I don't want you here."
0:51:20 > 0:51:22After being here for nearly a month,
0:51:22 > 0:51:25this is the most positive experience I've had.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31It's a memory I'm happy to depart with.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33But then, everything changes.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Terrorist...
0:51:39 > 0:51:42'Breaking news on today's terror attacks in Brussels.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44'The first explosion happened at a check-in area
0:51:44 > 0:51:48'used by international carriers, including American Airlines.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51'Seconds after the gunfire, the first explosion...'
0:51:51 > 0:51:55This is what they call for. This is exactly what they call for.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59You know, anybody that wants to stick their head in the sand
0:51:59 > 0:52:02and say, "Oh, this ain't going to happen here,"
0:52:02 > 0:52:03that's what Belgium thought.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06You can't ignore the threats.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10You've got to protect your citizens first.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14And this is the whole reason why we do what we do.
0:52:14 > 0:52:20And you wonder why there's so many people that have
0:52:20 > 0:52:24jumped on the Trump wagon, to try to get the borders closed.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26How many more people have to die,
0:52:26 > 0:52:30how many more people have to get injured, before people wake up
0:52:30 > 0:52:33and see what their rhetoric and their context is all about?
0:52:33 > 0:52:37This is exactly what they've been preaching.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40And you want that stuff here in America?
0:52:40 > 0:52:42We can't leave this crap to our kids.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44SIRENS BLARE
0:52:50 > 0:52:54The attack forces David and John to settle their differences.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56Bair is reborn.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59It's like all organisations. You're going
0:52:59 > 0:53:02to have some disagreements within the group.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05The thing of it is that me
0:53:05 > 0:53:09and David have been able to sit down and talk things out, hash it out...
0:53:09 > 0:53:13You know, we'll have our tiffs, yeah, but we're not going anywhere.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17And just seeing what happened in Brussels is just confirmation
0:53:17 > 0:53:22that we need to be a little bit louder than ever before,
0:53:22 > 0:53:25to try and get things going, while we still can.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35For Bair, horrifying incidents like this
0:53:35 > 0:53:37justify their very existence.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Every time there is an attack, it does help us refocus
0:53:42 > 0:53:45and it will help us
0:53:45 > 0:53:48forget the little disagreements that we have and get over
0:53:48 > 0:53:52those little disagreements and move on from the main goal -
0:53:52 > 0:53:54protecting what's ours.
0:53:54 > 0:53:59They want to pay their respects to the 32 who died in the attack
0:53:59 > 0:54:02and have swapped their guns for a cross.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13How many more crosses will have to be put in the ground? How many?
0:54:15 > 0:54:17CAR HORN BEEPS
0:54:22 > 0:54:25But Omar isn't prepared for his community to accept responsibility
0:54:25 > 0:54:27for any terrorist attack.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30He has his own thoughts on where blame lies.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34I would say a group like Bair would have more to do with
0:54:34 > 0:54:38a violent incident taking place in the world than I do,
0:54:38 > 0:54:40because I'm actually trying to stop that cycle.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43They're feeding that cycle, feeding that carnage,
0:54:43 > 0:54:45feeding that nonsense. They're feeding that clash
0:54:45 > 0:54:48of civilisations. They're giving Isis the world that they want.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52Isis wants this world to be Islam versus the West.
0:54:52 > 0:54:53They're giving them that world.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55They're letting them know that...
0:54:55 > 0:54:57It's just like a video game.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Isis is player one and they just needed someone to press
0:55:00 > 0:55:02and be player two.
0:55:02 > 0:55:07Islamophobes are creating more Islamic terrorism.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10CAR HORNS BEEP
