A Quote by Jeh Johnson

In my view, and in the view of a lot of intelligence experts, the terrorist threat that we face now has morphed significantly from the days of 9/11 to homegrown violent extremism. We have to be concerned and focused on homegrown violent extremism, countering violent extremism that exists within our borders.

The practical reality that in order for us to identify homegrown violent extremism and prevent it or root it out before it takes action, we are going to need the cooperation of Muslim communities in this country.

Marco Rubio

I take a very simple view that a violent extremist at some point previously been an extremist, and by definition is an extremist, so you do need to look at that non-violent extremism.

Theresa May

Let me be very clear: We monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don't have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence.

Janet Napolitano

Countering violent extremism and destroying ISIS must be done primarily by Muslim nations with the strong support of their global partners.

We want to go further than preventing people from becoming terrorists and focus on a broader approach to counter-extremism - both violent and non-violent.

America is at war. Our enemy is not violent extremism. It is not some unnamed malevolent force. It is radical Islamic terrorist.

Ted Cruz

With his decision to use force against the violent extremists of the Islamic State, President Obama ... is stepping once again - and with understandably great reluctance - into the chaos of an entire civilization that has broken down. Arab civilization, such as we knew it, is all but gone. The Arab world today is more violent, unstable, fragmented and driven by extremism - the extremism of the rulers and those in opposition-than at any time since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire a century ago.

Hisham Melhem

I am concerned about any form of violent extremism.

Chad Wolf

We think there should be a better countering-violent-extremism effort, that there should be a lead agency tasked to handle that.

Michael McCaul

Domestic violent extremism is not a threat limited to any single law enforcement agency.

Alex Padilla

Radicalisation or the risk of children being drawn into non violent extremism is a very real threat in this country.

Nicky Morgan

The police have spent years pursuing Islamic extremism while too often overlooking the growing violent threat posed by the far-right.

Dawn Foster

Violent extremism is going viral, but our response to it is moving at bureaucratic, sluggish speed.

Michael McCaul

Extremism means borders beyond which life ends, and a passion for extremism, in art and in politics, is a veiled longing for death.

Milan Kundera

...Negroes must concern themselves with every single means of struggle: legal, illegal, passive, active, violent and non- violent.... They must harass, debate, petition, boycott, sing hymns, pray on steps--and shoot from their windows when the racists come cruising through their communities.... The acceptance of our condition is the only form of extremism which discredits us before our children [ellipses in source].
