and he believed they had a case so i do think there s a religious right to discriminate and different rules apply to believers and nonbelievers or people who belong to minority faiths is something we ll hear a lot of in the coming days. kenji yoshino, professor of constitutional law, always incredibly clarifying. thank you so much, we ll be right back. stay with us. my insurance rates are probably gonna double.
movement and target military officials, police, military. isis specifically said they re going to target where westerners and nonbelievers attend, large groups. they said they were going to target new year s eve-type celebrations and this was a target against civilians, and a soft target of the so to me, it looks a lot like an isis attack. turkey, ben, is supposed to be an ally with the u.s. in the war against isis. indeed, turkey has over the last several months sent tanks and warplanes across the border into syria, in a coordinated campaign with western backed syrian opposition fighters tried to capture several isis strongholds, but you think erdogan has, what, tacitly supported the islamic state in the past, and therein lays the trouble? look, absolutely. i mean, look, erdogan, this guy was arrested in 1999 for inciting religious violence himself.
and what s happening here. i believe in germany, we ll find this is isis inspired, individuals who want to not only oppose western intervention, but draw the west into a religious fight, because they believe the west represents nonbelievers. that is an isis-inspired view. in this case, what we may see is more humanitarian driven. someone who is watching what s happening in aleppo and syria. we have something like 450,000 people dead, and who believes the west is responsible for that humanitarian crisis. this may be a humanitarian attack to tell the russians stop bombing, you re killing too many of our people. so final thought from you, as we are getting in more information. i think there s clearly the potential for a jihadist angle in this. the turkish-russian deal is where the u.s. stepped out and turkey was the voice of reason. it was trying to make sure
act. gets a knife, a small car. something inside that one person s brain led him to do this. why do i care in terms of the subtlety of your analysis as opposed to saying isis just put out some bs briefing about how to use a knife to attack the nonbelievers? this kid picked up on it, had hate in his heart. he s a terrorist, period. why have this sophisticated analysis? i don t understand it either. maybe there s something we can learn. does he have a pattern of activity looking at websites? let me take you inside the room when i was at the agency or the bureau. we don t care when we re doing these case inside the room. it s the american public in this polarized political atmosphere where people say you have to call them a terrorist or not. those of us investigating, why would i care? he killed people. my first question is who. are there other people involved or co-conspirators? this stuff about motivations is
violence carried out against those considered unislamic. what do you believe should happen to nonbelievers like me? translator: speaking in the past, we believe in islam that nonbelievers should be killed. reporter: and you still believe that? translator: now, no. someone in prison explained to me the prophet s neighbor was a nonbeliever and he never attacked them or killed them. reporter: just four weeks ago, these men secretly worked to help isis spread its murderous ideology, launching an attack that killed 96 people. they now disavow the group. a kurdish court will judge their actions and sincerity. carol, speaking to those men, you get a sense of their many and varied motivations for supporting isis. from religious to financial to fear. you also get a sense of the enduring significant capabilities of the group. one of the men told us that even if isis loses mosul, he believes
