ALL OF THIS AND MORE
TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH."
THE WORLD WAS
HOPING THE ARAB SPRING WOULD
MEAN MORE DEMOCRACY IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
GOOD EVENING I AM LEE WEB.
AND I AM WENDY GRIFFITH.
ON SUNDAY, TUNISIA, THE ISLAMIST
CAPTURED MOST THE VOTES.
ISLAM, NOT DEMOCRACY WILL
DOMINANT THE REGION.
CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS.
REPORTER: WHEN MOHAMMED DIED
14 CENTURIES AGO, THE MUSLIM
WORLD NEEDED SOMEONE TO TAKE THE
PROPHET'S PLACE.
THE CANDIDATE WAS THE LEADER
OF ISLAM.
FOR 400 YEARS THE ISTANBUL
WAS THE POLITICAL CENTER OF THE
MUSLIM WORLD.
FOR HERE THEY RULED THE EM POIR
FROM 1517 UNTIL THE EMPIRE FELL
AFTER WORLD WAR I.
IN 1924, THE TURKISH LEADER
OTTER SINCE THEN MANY DREAMED OF
ITS RETURN.
THIS CAN BE DONE UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP UNDER ONE, WHO HE
HIMSELF, ONLY CAN DECLARE A HOLY
WAR, A JIHAD.
SOME BELIEVE IT WILL PROCEED
THE ISLAMIC MESSIAH.
MANY MODERN ISLAMIC GROUPS SHARE
THE GOAL OF RESTORING, INCLUDING
TALIBAN, HAMAS, AND THE GRAND
DADDY OF THEM ALL, THE MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD WAS SET UP
IN 1928, AND SPECIFIC MISSION
WAS TO RE-ESTABLISH JUST FOUR
YEARS LATER.
THEIR GOAL REMAINS TO SET UP ONE
WORLD ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT.
BROTHERHOOD HAS A FOOTHOLD IN
EGYPT.
IT BECAME THE COUNTRY'S MOST
ORGANIZED POLITICAL PARTY.
WHAT THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS A STRONG
POWERFUL ISLAMIC WORLD
GOVERNMENT ARMED WITH NUCLEAR
WEAPONS WHETHER PROVIDED BY
PAKISTAN OR IRAN, DOESN'T
MATTER.
THEY WOULD BE GRADUALLY
ELIMINATING CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH
GOVERNMENTS.
ANOTHER POTENTIAL POWER
PLAYER IS TURKISH PRIME MINISTER
ERDAWAN.
I THINK THIS IS WHAT IS
BEHIND HIM WANTING TO SEND THE
TURKISH NAVY TO HAVE A PEACEFUL
FLOTIL
FLOTILLA.
HE IS DREAMING ABOUT THE
RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CALFIT.
HE CAN EASILY PUSH THIS AREA
INTO GREAT WAR.
THREAT OF WAR LEAD MANY TO
SAY THE SO-CALLED ARAB SPRING IS
A MISNOMER I WOULDN'T CALL IT
AN ARAB SPRING.
CBN NEWS, CHRIS MITCHELL,
TURKEY.
ERICK STAKELBECK JOINS US.
THIS NEW TO ME, WHAT KIND OF
THREAT WOULD A RESTORED CALLFIT
POSE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD?
LEE, PICTURE ALL OF ISLAMIC
NATIONS UNITED INTO ONE
POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND
MILITARY FORCE, IRAN, EGYPT,
TURKEY, SAUDI ARABIA, JORDAN,
SYRIA, PUTTING ASIDE SUNNI, SHIA
DIFFERENCES TO CREATE ONE GLOBAL
ISLAMIC SUPERSTATE UNITED TO
TAKE ON ISRAEL AND THE WEST.
THAT IS WHAT THE CALSTATE IS,
LEE.
SUCH A UNITED FORCE COULD WREAK
IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AGAINST THE
WEST WITH THE U.S. BEING THE
MAIN TARGET.
ERICK, DO YOU THINK THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION RECOGNIZES THIS
THREAT?
THEY ARE HELPING TO LAY A NEW
GROUND WORK, NO. 1 IN IN EGYPT
BACKING OUSTING OF HOSNI
MUBARAK, PAVING WAY FOR MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
TAKING OUT ANWAR AL-AWLAKI.
THEN IN TUNISIA.
IN THE FIRST FREE ELECTIONS, A
RADICAL ISLAMIST PARTY ONE.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
SUPPORTED THE ARAB SPRING.
RADICAL ISLAMISTS OR WORSE THAN
THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENTS TAKING
HOLD.
I THOUGHT I READ A MODERATE
ISLAMIST.
IF YOU SUPPORT JIHAD, AND
EXTERMINATION OF THE JEWISH
PEOPLE, YOU ARE NOT TOO
MODERATE.
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT THINK THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, WHO WE ARE
ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN JIHAD, LEE.
AS I SAID, LEE, AN ISLAMISTS IS
AN ISLAMIST, WHETHER THEY ARE
BLOWING SOMEONE UP OR NOT, THEIR
END GAME IS THE SAME, THIS
CALFATE IS THE SAME FOR ONE AND
ALL.
ERICK STAKELBECK.
THANKS FOR YOUR INSIGHTS, WE
APPRECIATE.
> SITUATION IN TURKEY IS
BECOMING DESPERATE.
460 PEOPLE DIED IN QUAKE.
THOUSANDS HAVE NO SHELTER FROM
THE NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
OPERATION BLESSING IS ON THE
SCENE.
DAVID DARG REPORTS FROM ONE OF
THE BLESSING CAMPS.
OPERATION BLESSING HAS MADE
IT TO THE HARDEST HIT TOWN AND
HERE WITH 170 FAMILIES.
THE COLD IS SETTING IN.
HE WANTS US TO LOOK AT THE
LITTLE KID.
KIDS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
MOOD IS QUITE SOMBER.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED
FROM THEIR HOMES AND AN
UNCERTAIN FUTURE.
OPERATION BLESSING IS ASSESSING
NEEDS IN SURROUNDING AREA.
TOMORROW WE'LL PURCHASE BLANKETS

GERMAN MEDICAL PARTNER, HUMEDICA
HAS BEEN TREATING PATIENTS.
PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING DRAGGED
OUT OF THE EARTHQUAKE TODAY.
OPERATION BLESSING SUPPORTING
THAT MEDICAL EFFORT.
WE ARE HAVING A BIG IMPACT, DAY
1, ON THE TURKEY EARTHQUAKE.
DAVID DARG REPORTING FROM
TURKEY.
AT HOME, THE OCCUPY WALL STREET
IS BEING FUELLED BY THE SIZE OF
STUDENT LOANS.
YOUNG VOTERS MAKE UP A KEY PART
OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BASE.
TODAY IN DENVER, THEY CAME UP
WITH A PLAN TO LOWER THEIR
PAYMENTS.
JOHN WAAGE EXPLAINS.
WE ARE NOT ANTICAPITALIST.
WE ARE ANTIGREED.
NOT ALL STUDENTS ARE AS VOCAL
AS THESE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CENTRAL FLORIDA.
COLLEGE COSTS ROSE AGAIN LAST
YEAR.
ONE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO
CAMPUS PROTESTS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA TRIED TO
CAPITALIZE WITH STUDENTS TO
CONSOLIDATE LOANS.
OVER THE PASSED THREE
DECADES, COST OF COLLEGE HAS
NEARLY TRIPLED.
THAT IS FORCING YOU, FORCING
STUDENTS TO TAKE OUT MORE LOANS
AND RACK UP MORE DEBT.
PRESIDENT SAY IT IS LOANS ARE
NECESSARY TO HELP THE U.S.
COMPETE GLOBALLY.
OVER THE NEXT DECADE, 60
PERCENT OF NEW JOBS WILL REQUIRE
MORE THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DEPLOMA.
OTHER COUNTRIES ARE HUSTLING TO
OUT EDUCATE US TODAY SO THEY CAN
OUT COMPETE US TOMORROW.
THEY WANT THE JOBS OF THE
FUTURE.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THOSE JOBS.
