Extremists Quotations

When leaders are no longer beholden to the people who elected them, corruption results and the recruitment of extremists becomes easier.

We're here so that Afghanistan does not once again become a sanctuary for transnational extremists the way it was when al-Qaeda planned the 9/11 attacks in the Kandahar area, conducted the initial training for the attackers in training camps in Afghanistan before they moved on to Germany and then to U.S. flight schools.

I turned atheist in the '90s when India went through troubled times - communal riots, bomb blasts... Mumbai, where I live, was badly affected. I blamed religion; also, extremists on both sides - right and left.

But instead, Democrats are so bent on seeing Republicans as a bunch of angry, right wing, intolerant, unreliable extremists that they have a track record of missing the mood of the country, especially the sentiment of people who don't wake up to 'The New York Times.'

Those who say that the West and Islam are eternally irreconcilable have more in common with the Islam extremists than they might like to think, for it's the very same argument of course advanced by Al-Qaida. And they do have it wrong. We need to work with mainstream Islam.

There was a very convincing argument made that the extremists have won and the aggression is now supported by the majority, therefore fighting until surrender was the only alternative.

Last century we needed lawyers; this century we need big, broad coalitions. When extremists decide to attack all our communities, they must hope that there will be infighting. But we have stood all for one and one for all. That is how we will win.

Tyranny is increasingly unsustainable in this post-cold-war era. It is doomed to failure. But it must be prodded to exit the stage with a whimper - not the bang that extremists long for.

Only if you empower the liberals, if you empower the moderate socialists, if you empower all factions of society, only then will extremists be marginalised.

Senseless violence is, almost by definition, hard to understand.

Two gangs go to war. Extremists kill in the name of belief.

The First Amendment allows Nazis and white extremists to do what they are going to do, and it allows for black extremists and all other types of extremists to do what they are going to do. I understand that, and I'm not opposed to that.

The extremists have gained the advantage and they are going to milk it for everything it's worth. It's in their advantage to keep things stirred up.

Muslim extremists will be surrounded then wiped out,

If we don't have an international force there, there will be an empty Kosovo, and that is what the extremists in Belgrade want.

I am certain that there are extremists on both sides of the gun control debate in Hawaii, as in the rest of the nation. However, it has been our willingness and ability to develop mutually respectful and effective gun control laws that have kept our community safe.

I have a lot of reason to believe, as we saw in the 2012 election, most Americans don't agree with the extremists on any side of an issue, but there needs to continue to be an effort to find common ground, or even take it to higher ground on behalf of the future.

The president has a moral obligation to rein in the right-wing extremists in his party and stop this divisive rhetoric about immigrants.

We are determined to starve this limited group of extremists of the means

When 9/11 hit, the second thing I said to myself was, 'This really is what religious people do.' Those people flying the plane were very good, very pious, truly faithful believers. There's no other way to paint them. Of course, they are extremists by definition, but they certainly aren't going against Islam in any real way.

There are three strands of thought: those who see China as a threat; those who see it as a friend and those - now the majority - who take a wait-and-see approach. If we let extremists prevail, both sides will suffer.

We don't want to be unduly intimidated by the thugs, the extremists who are presumably behind this, but we have to balance that with the security of the people.

The president has taken a courageous stand in favor of traditional marriage at a moment in American history when the courts are conspiring with anti-family extremists to undermine our nation's most vital institution,

Of these, only a small fraction has the potential to cross the critical threshold into terrorism. Still, a mere handful of extremists can carry out a devastating terrorist attack.

Any effort to appease a handful of vocal extremists backfired and offended millions of fair-minded consumers instead. At a time when corporate America leads on fairness, we hope Ford will shift back into drive.

Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base. It's the only way to explain Governor Schwarzenegger's promise to veto the California marriage equality bill after pledging just last year to support equal rights and responsibilities for California's LGBT families if approved by the courts or the legislature.

As long as extremists have the ability to torpedo the process of reconciliation and to launch attacks, we will be at their mercy.

This is a blurring of the margins of people who are engaged in non-violent political speech, an attempt to bunch them in with extremists and terrorists,

The fear was that extremists would use porous borders to pour into Gaza to bring in explosives, weaponry cash, and that would energize the most extremist elements in the Gaza Strip instead of helping the moderates. I think this agreement that we have reached today has the right balance. It provides the maximum possible movement for Palestinians to move in and out of Gaza, as they desire and for goods to come in and out of Gaza, and at the same time for that to be balanced with the very real security concerns that everyone has.

In some ways, it shows how successfully the extremists have been blocked from other forms of illegal activity, but violent attacks on individuals is an appalling way of trying to frighten people from carrying out their legitimate business of helping research and develop new medicines.

I hope that at this critical period, we will concentrate on the bigger picture, ... The answer to extremists on both sides sworn to sabotage this process must be a big 'No.'

I condemn the cowardly acts of the extremists and my message is simple: the violence must end and their tactics will not be successful.

The digital rights extremists can go off and set up their own thing and leech off each other - but gradually they will become irrelevant to every day life.
