“The truth is that just as the ‘West’ is not a homogenous entity with one view on foreign and domestic policy, nor are Muslims.”  (Maajid Nawaz

 

“There is no more effective way to radicalize American Muslim youth than for political leaders to make public displays of prejudice against all Muslims. Suspicion will undermine their sense of identification with America and alienate some from both the culture and from politics.”  (Miroslav Volf)

 

“Of course, the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not terrorists or sympathetic to terrorists. Equating all Muslims with terrorism is stupid and wrong. But acknowledging that there is a link between Islam and terror is appropriate and necessary.”  (Ayaan Hirsi Ali)
