Percentage of them but they do exist who feel at though their identity is under a certain sense of crisis and who are looking to these groups who are expressing their grievances sometimes in horrifically violent way. Were nowhere near to problem europe has. Lets be clear. We have had 3,000 or so europeans who have left to join isis, and almost zero very close to zero of them in america, and i will also say that this overwhelming focus that we have on islamic terrorism and islamic extremism in the United States is absurdly exaggerated and more dangerously, think, hides the truth. The department of homeland security, the fbi, and 74 of every single Law Enforcement agency in the United States all say that the greatest threat to americans is rightwing extremism, rightwing terrorists.

Was aslan right the common depiction of jesus as a peace maker who loved his enemies and turned the other cheek has been bit on a portrayal as an a political creatures of the tu turbulent world he lived in. The jesus of history had a far more complex attitude toward violence. Jim, go ahead with your questions and comments. Caller if you canned go into more detail about why your book is different than other scholarly books on jesus. Thank you, kim. My book is about the world in which jesus lived.

Conservatives will tell you that its about repromoting early marriage as the norm. So its a fundamental disagreement. I think were going to have to stop, but thank you all for a great, great discussion. Thank you. [applause] im going to remind you wait. They will be signing books again on the second floor in the gallery . Okay. My instructions are wrong. And dont forget to shop at the book tent and in the gallery. [laughter] youre good
