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

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.

Jeh Johnson

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

We have to render Islamist extremism as unattractive as communism has become today.

Maajid Nawaz

Sufis were always spreading love with their music, and if some kind of extremism is a threat to it, it is a threat to all humanity.

Adnan Sami

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

Maajid Nawaz

The way to tackle Muslimphobia is to tackle prejudice against Muslims. What it is not is to pretend that Islamist extremism does not exist.

Maajid Nawaz

It is okay to be at a place of struggle. Struggle is just another word for growth. Even the most evolved beings find themselves in a place of struggle now and then. In fact, struggle is a sure sign to them that they are expanding; it is their indication of real and important progress. The only one who doesn't struggle is the one who doesn't grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as a terrific sign - celebrate your struggle.

Neale Donald Walsch

The greatest threat facing humanity is a radical Islamist regime meeting up with nuclear weapons.

Benjamin Netanyahu

The threat from the far right is as corrosive as the twisted Islamist ideologies so many Muslims have spoken out against.

Amber Rudd

The greatest threat to extremism isn't drones firing missiles, but girls reading books.

Nicholas D. Kristof

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.
