What we have seen with Islamist extremism, whether it is in Mali or Somalia or Afghanistan, is that the disease is not necessarily the individual country. The disease is the Islamist extremism, and that's what we have to fight; that's the narrative that we have to beat.

David Cameron

The driving force behind today's terrorist threat is Islamist fundamentalism. The struggle we are engaged in is, at root, ideological. During the last century a strain of Islamist thinking has developed which, like other totalitarianisms, such as Nazism and Communism, offers its followers a form of redemption through violence.

David Cameron

Back when I was an Islamist, I thought our ideology was like communism - and I still do. That makes me optimistic. Because what happened to communism? It was discredited as an idea. It lost.

Now we have a generational threat struggle called Islamist extremism.

Michael McCaul

When I returned to the United Kingdom, I found that I could no longer justify Islamist extremism as the antidote.

Communism is a way of thinking. Socialism is wimpy communism. When you don't have the courage to become a communist, you become a socialist.

Today we are fighting Communism. Okay. If I'd been alive fifty years ago, the brand of Conservatism we have today would have been damn near called Communism and we should have been told to go and fight that. History is moving pretty quickly these days and the heroes and villains keep on changing parts.

Ian Fleming

The scientific approach uncovers, that Communism does not eliminate the inequality between men, the social injustice, exploitation of man by man and other evils of society - communism merely changes their form and gives birth to new evils, which become eternal fellow-travelers of communism.

Alexander Zinoviev

We have learned - or at least we should have - that seeing Islamist extremism purely as a reaction to what we do is fundamentally mistaken. Indeed that view - Western centric as it is - belittles the threat we face. It implies we can somehow opt out of this fight, that if we hide maybe they will leave us alone.

Liz Kendall

The committee accepts that, as the government response suggests, U.K. policy in Libya was initially driven by a desire to protect civilians. However, we do not accept that it understood the implications of this, which included collapse of the state, failure of stabilization and the facilitation of Islamist extremism in Libya.

Crispin Blunt

When the Jews leave Russia, Communism will collapse there. World Jewry is today relocating to America. Thus the real threat of Communism in America has just begun.

Arnold Leese

The key to tackling Islamist fundamentalism and terrorism from the Islamist community is in the hands of moderate Muslims.

Gijs de Vries

If science were communism, was it also not possible that communism could itself become a science?

John Desmond Bernal

There were people who had sampled my voice from speeches when I was an Islamist and made them the chorus of pro-Islamist rap songs who then began talking about me as an apostate.

If the perfect Son of God is unattractive to you, then obviously you are an unattractive person.
