This world where we lock people up for now 14 years in Guantanamo Bay with no charge, no trial, no process, no habeas ofpus, a legal black hole the equivalent of outer space where we dont know what is going on there. It is simply wrong. It has got to be closed. Amy and the British Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn talks about the largest exodus of refugees since world war ii. We are not going to secure the worlds future with razor wire and electronic surveillance of borders. Youre my secure the worlds future if you do with the desperate levels of inequality in the world and deal with the disproportionate effects of environmental change around the world.

His Campaign Manager said the proposed ban would apply to both muslims seeking immigration simplynd tourists seeking to visit the United States. It came only one day after president obama spoke in a rare televised address from the oval office, calling for the nation to reject islamophobia in the wake of the San Bernardino shootings, which obama called an act of terror. The proposal quickly drew comparisons to policies and active by nazi germany against the jews in common condemnation from democratic and republican candidates as well cited groups. The head of the council on americanislamic relations, nihad awad, compared trump to the leader of a lynch mob. Extremely shocked to hear donald trump calling for total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the u. S. This is outrageous coming from someone who once assumed once to assume the highest level. It is unamerican. Donald trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours. Are playing in the hands of isis. Amy that was nihad awad, the head of the council on americanislamic relations. Later, awardwinning nigerianamerican writer teju cole posted on his facebook trump is a dangerous clown. But it is important to understand that his idea of banning all muslims, scandalous as it is is far less , scandalous than the past dozen years of american disregard for nonamerican muslim lives. No american president in the past years has openly championed 14 islamophobia, but none has refrained from doing to muslims overas what would be unthinkable to do here to americans of any religion.

Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman. We are broadcasting live from cop21, the u. N. Climate summit in paris, france. Three months ago, Jeremy Corbyn shocked the world when he was elected head of the labour party in britain becoming the , countrys Opposition Leader. Corbyn vowed to return the labour party to its socialist roots, championing the renationalization of public transportation, Free University tuition, rent control, and a National Maximum Wage to cap the salaries of high earners. Corbyn has been a longtime antiwar activist and chaired the stop the war coalition. Well, last week, he led the charge to vote against authorizing british Prime MinisterDavid Cameron to begin bombing syria. A day before the vote, cameron accused corbyn of being a terrorist sympathizer for opposing airstrikes. I set down with Jeremy Corbyn last night in paris in his first u. S. Tv radio interview since being elected labour leader. This is democracy now democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. We are in paris france with the head of the labour party of britain, the Opposition Party in britain. He was just elected a few months ago, Jeremy Corbyn. It is great to have you with us. How did you do it . Well, we launched a campaign for the labour party after the general election defeat in may, we were obviously very sad losing the general election, and i felt we lost for a number of reasons. One was that we werent offering us a vision radical alternative, the austerity agenda being put forward by the government. And i was asked by colleagues in parliament and a number of people outside if i was prepared to contest the election. I did. Initially, we were completely written off i the media. I dont know if you do gambling, but we were get been we were given odds of 200 to one. So it was a good investment. We launched our campaign by taking part in public debate and then traveling around the country. We did 100 events in different towns and cities all over britain. A lot of people came together, young, old, all groups, everybody. And the support group because what we were offering was an opening up of politics in britain. And the result, you know, we won with 60 of the vote, the highest ever vote cast in the Party Election in britain. In the membership of the labour party has now reached 400,000, which is more than doubled in six months. It has been an interesting time. Amy you have just had a major vote that you lost, and it was around the bombing of syria. You were opposed. Other members of your party were for and against. This meansts on what an almost immediately, britain started bombing syria. In Parliament Since 1983. I have been involved in many issues over the time. Indeed, we first met when i was opposing the iraq war in 2003. What happened in paris was appalling, disgraceful, disgusting. This afternoon i was one at one of the cafes that was affected and signed a remembrance book. Is the response to start bombing syria or to actually bring about an speed up the political dialogue, which of the and of the day, is the only thing that is wondering about hes in syria . I support the political dialogue, not military intervention. I realize this was going to be a difficult issue in the british parliament, difficult issue i am amy own party, and leader, not a dictator. I want to persuade people rather than threaten or control them. And so i decided that i would allow all our members of parliament a free vote on the subject. They can make up their own minds on it. And also, consult the public. So what i did was wrote in email to all 400,000 of our party members, and we got a huge response in which 75 were against bombing. I invited members of my parliamentary group, we call it a caucus, to vote against and three quarters or 60 of them did. That is more than the number that voted for the bombing. In my own shadow cabinet, majority voted against the bombing. I hope this will be seen as a sign that the labour party is looking to Peaceful Solutions to the worlds problems. Above all, we will hold our government to account. Didnt go thee where wanted it to an the bombing started a few hours later. Amy what would a diplomatic solution look like . The vienna process involves the syrian government, all the neighboring governments of iran, of iraq, of turkey. It involves all of those in jordan, of course. In involves all of the gulf coast nations, the european union, the usaid it is not going to be easy. But are we going to go into a proxy war between all of those competing groups and are ready what was a civil war or can we bring enough of them together to get at least a ceasefire in the syrian civil war, and realize isolate isil for its arms, its arms, and the way it the role ofout saudi arabia. Ive been concerned about the weapons within the region. Ive also raised a number of occasions, the issue of human rights in saudi arabia. Indeed, in my speech to our inual Party Conference brighton in september, i raise the issue of a british prison contract that was being sought in saudi arabia and also the question of the Death Penalty on a young man who was guilty of nothing more than going to a protest. The brilliantd work of many, many other people, not just me, helped to ensure britain withdrew from the present conflict and an older man, british prisoner who was in prison in saudi arabia, has been released and others have not been executed. We have to keep up the pressure. But im also concerned about the issues of where the Financial Support for isil comes from. What ive done is asked our government and ask all governments, look into your banks and are banking systems, who is laundering this money . Labels the manufacturers on those weapons that are used by isil. They did not all caps on nowhere. Somebody has been selling those weapons. But also, look at the question of how we treat communities across the world so that so we isolate isil for what it is, but we dont blame people in the Muslim Community or any other communities. Antisummit to some, islamophobia, racism are all part of the same degree of intolerance. We have to oppose those and bring communities together. A because germany carbon, Prime MinisterDavid Cameron called you a terrorist sympathizer for opposing the airstrikes. You have demanded an apology. He was asked many times to apologize. I pause my own speech of parliament to invite him. Prime minister, this is not a time for these kind of remarks, can you please apologize . Not just to me, but to all of the people that may be have the same kind of opinion i do. Peopleined to know full can judge themselves. I want a world of peace. Im not interested in bombs. Im not interested in wars. Im interested in peace. I think its a means his office to make remarks like that. Amy you occupy the same position that tony blair once dead. Tony blair, the Prime Minister who issued a kind of culpa around the invasion of iraq i saying that, well, lets go to a clip. What people look at the rise of isis, many people point to the invasion of iraq as the principal cause. What do you say to that . I think there are elements of truth and that, but i think weve got to be extremely careful, otherwise we will misunderstand what is going on in iraq and in syria today. Of course, you cant say those of us are removed saddam in 2003 buried a responsibility for the situation in 2015. Amy that was tony blair responding to the question on cnn whether in fact i says came out of the invasion of iraq. Your response . I thought it was interesting. I finally disagreed with but a mentally disagreed with tony blair on the question, particularly of iraq, and it is interesting that in his interview on cnn, he did say that one of the effects of the war in iraq has been the growth like isil. Al forces indeed, president obama said something similar about his thoughts on the longterm effects of what happened in the whole region since iraq. I think we have to remember, not just afghanistan, iraq, but also think of libya. Bombing libya to protect the people in benghazi against an apparent immediate threat from the forces led by colonel could all see. Then
