And you dont see them doing some kind of "christian jihad" and starting to killing people. But in the other side you see a pakistani living in london and he dont have a job, see that some news papers have headlines like "islamic terrorism" and people criticizing islam and also some people make to him bad looks in the streets, then he realise that the the more logic reaction is to start to behead people, to rape women and children, persecute yazidis, to rob from the infidels, fighting to implement sharia law worldwide and committing suicide martyrdom operations to earn a pass to heaven and his new 72 virgins. And people from the west see that reaction in the muslims and say: that make sense because he has being "radicalized online". Get out of here !!!

Love how Chompsky was covering everything - very well said, obviously brilliant and obviously knowledgeable on the topics he was discussing. Mehdi, there is a difference between talking with someone where you are trying to corner (a politician, company, someone trying to hide something from you) and an expert (where you are trying to get information and context). The expert is there to answer and will answer freely (as he was) so just let him talk, you and I are no more qualified to 'corner' someone like him than to corner Stephen Hawking on physics. And if you somehow managed to what did you gain? He isn't a decision maker, isn't running for office, isn't receiving public funds, so... yea. Love that you got the interview, loved hearing Chomsky's take, but please stop interrupting him if you talk with him in the future - just direct him toward what you actually want clarifications on.

Did you notice how nervous Mehdi got when Noam brought up Qatar's clear support for the Al-Nusra Front? Al Jazeera wants no part of that discussion LOL

But in terms of sheer quantifiable *harm* done- from both malice and willful negligence- the centuries-long UK or younger US empire are not without long & very dirty laundry lists of bad deeds. E.g. the Guardian-reported US murder of 1,100+ civilians in drone strikes to target (not necessarily kill) 41 terrorists.

He says that if we want to rank evils, the US and Britain are much higher than anyone else. I think that implies in the modern world, and if not, he really should have made it clear. Yes, Western forces have caused much damage in the past, but what Noam and his ilk really should be focused on is which groups have the most malicious intentions in the present. When considering negligence and collateral damage, "evil" is not an accurate term. Evil should be reserved for groups like ISIS who intentionally kill as many non-Muslims as they can in brutal fashion.

The interview was about the war on ISIL (looking at the title), but the interviewer had to mention 'Russian imperialism' because of what happened in Crimea. What this reporter doesn't understand is that imperialism means you're offensively trying to conquer land (by force or coup), but also try to build up or increase your political/military influence/presence in another country. Russia is not and hasn't acted imperialistisc in Ukraine or Syria; in both countries there already was a Russian military base with the approval of both country's governments. In both countries, Russia has not tried to overthrow any government just to have a puppet regime in favor Russia or used any form of force to destabilize and conquer these countries. Russia secured their military base in Crimea by adding the peninsula to their land, because of the coup that took place on 21st of February on behalf of the Americans (a defensive act). Russia also already had a military base in Syria, nothing imperialistisc about this because this was approved by the Syrian government (which wasn't first overthrown so that the next government would approve it). The US, UK, Saudi Arabia, Turkey (and because the US is all of NATO is) on the other hand ARE imperialistisc, but you didn't say they aren't, so I'm not going there.

moon beam​ Thank you and I totally agree with what you said. Also when you think about the results coming home to roost of the many wars and death NATO aligned countries have caused, it would almost be 100% justified if not for one very disturbing fact: Washington and London have ever since 2002 (Afghanistan and in particular Iraq) been the most guilty parties and most persuasive and militarily active of the entire alliance. www.independent.co.uk/news/people/tony-blair-apologises-for-mistakes-over-iraq-war-and-admits-elements-of-truth-to-view-that-invasion-a6707776.html This is also the case in Syria (along with Turkey), as it was in Libya (along with France). But the astounding fact is that the 2 most guilty parties, refuse to take the lead and responsibility on the aftermath of their atrocities or at least even share the responsibility and the burden. The United States and England have taken not even 5% of the total amount of refugees that the E.U. has taken in. Most astounding is the behavior of London, being part of the E.U. and yet make it's own rules and get away with it. While Poland, Slovakia, Czech etc are being sanctioned for doing the exact same: refusing to abide by the refugee quota of the E.U. On that same note, London also last year refused to pay the full amount to Brussels regarding the contribution each (economically advanced) nation had to pay annually. uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-osborne-idUKKBN0IJ0ZU20141030

We have countries like China that treat their own people like slaves to the state. And of course Russia, run by a mob boss that takes out his opposition and anyone that dares to criticize him. Yet in Chomskyland, it's the most tolerant and diverse country in the world with one of the best human rights records that is most brutal? *yawn* why does anyone take this clown seriously?

not sure if prof chomsky is too soft-spoken or this audio is low, speakers at 10 are usually loud , at 55 now , barely hear the man...

"But where does he stand on US airstrike against ISIL?" Lol, seriously man, you are talking to Noam Chomsly, you know exactly what he's going to say!

Asking Chomsky if he's "depressed about his lack of influence" is absurd. He's not a Hollywood celebrity, who needs to talk about his "feelings".

"...if you wanna rank evils... the United States and Britain are so far higher than anyone else, we can put all the others to the side..." - inimitable Chomskian intellectual ferocity and political integrity. This man takes no prisoners in speaking truth to power.

yeah great i'll watch the second part if you actually let him talk

I wish Mehdi would shut up, quit interrupting and let Chomsky speak.

The problem with todays journalism and Prof. is that everyone asks him what he thinks; nobody asks why he thinks that. And I think Mehdi has done a wonderful job doing that. Although I believe he should've given more time to answer the questions. The prof. is a kind of person who carries black and white views on a matter, but holds a very vivid opinion about the individuals in question. That's why he needs some time to express his views on an individual over an issue also being very careful. Mehdi's segment is not compatible with the prof. To let him answer Mehdi's questions, I think he would need two hours. Kudos to Mehdi to bring up several issues in such a short period of time. I would stick to one or two issues and hold him accountable for his views.

british political conversations tend to be a lot more confrontational in nature. mehdi, looking also at his past interviews, i see him being a lot more polite and respectful than normal. chomsky does veer off course sometimes, so it honestly didn't bother me.

Notice me Senpai Chomsky ... But for real, Noam for Overlord!

Finally some truth on Islam from Chomsky about Saudi's financing and responsibility of Jihadist promoting Madrasa educating thier young in Hateful ideology. This is one of the most honest and concise evaluations of world affairs from Chomsky I have heard in a long time

You could be forgiven for thinking this is an interview with Mehdi who can't seem to let Chomsky respond without interrupting

If you know Chomsky, you know that he has complete, well thought out positions. Now, you may or may not agree with those positions and that's fine. That's actually good, because then it means there's ideas to be explored. What irritates me, is when interviewers invite Chomsky onto their show. Because they get the "buzz" and "hype" surrounding the Chomsky name and then interrupt and nit pick every out of context detail. Let them man speak, completely, because that's how he does his thing. Then you can respond or ask questions. Don't interrupt, that's silly. I'm not saying Chomsky is always right. What I'm saying, is know who you're interviewing and give them the appropriate time to respond and let them clarify their positions. These issues are important and you've got one of humanity's leading intellectuals sitting in front of you. You can't treat this like a game of "Gotcha!"... Complex problems require complex and complete solutions. I wish the interviewer would get that... It's like he's had 5 Redbulls and just wants to far forward to the end... It's silly...

No one can answer questions this complex in three words. What is with this guy.

Hasan has an agenda and doesn't want to let Chomsky infringing on it. Chomsky was very patient explaining his position.

These comments about America and Britain are so offensive to people who literally have to lie about their beliefs or sexual orientation etc. to avoid being executed in sometimes the most barbaric ways. And I'm not just talking about Isis. Actual regimes still do it to this very day.

I think you guys forget that the interviewer has a set number of questions to ask in a limited amount of time, but yeah, the interruption is a bit annoying

the interviewer is not supposed to do most of the talking. if you want answers you have to wait for them

The US and the UK are the most evil countries? He didn't even specify that he meant foreign policy or anything. Just most evil overall. So the industrial and scientific revolutions, which have improved people's length of life and quality of life immeasurably, the abolition of slavery, the women's rights movement, the gay rights movement, the animal rights movement. All of these were massively driven by western europe and the US and have influenced almost everywhere on earth, with the UK arguably playing a larger part than anyone else. So just because these things have also lead to western countries being more militarily powerful, and therefore more ability to project force around the world, they're more evil? Noam, you are completely confused. You've been living in your echo chamber in the ivory tower for so long that you've forgot about the other 99% of life, to which the US and the UK have contributed more than almost any other country.

If you keep trying to end Noam Chomsky's sentences you're gonna miss the point. I wish Chomsky could live another 100 years

*Muslims disaffected? Compared to what?* The problem is that people from the west have stopped asking this question: "compared to what?" For example, the christians in pakistan are systematically mistreated, discriminated, burning alive, confined in ghettos, raped, subjugated by islamic blasphemy laws, taken from them opportunities of social and economic advancement and many other sad things. And you dont see them doing some kind of "christian jihad" and starting to killing people. But in the other side you see a pakistani living in london and he dont have a job, see that some news papers have headlines like "islamic terrorism" and people criticizing islam and also some people make to him bad looks in the streets, then he realise that the more logic reaction is to start to behead people, to rape women and children, persecute yazidis, to rob from the infidels, fighting to implement sharia law worldwide and committing suicide martyrdom operations to earn a pass to heaven and his new 72 virgins.
