There are moderates in israel. there are moderates in iran, there are moderates in the republican party, moderates in the democratic party. what we need to do is we need link all of these moderates together and to figure out a way by which this particular coalition can speak to important issues to marginalize the voice of the extremists.

I don't think people by nature are extremists. you will never find a population of extremists. extremists have existed throughout the centuries on all religions. and what happens is, extremists start to have more leverage when the situation is bad.

Will we be extremists for hate, or will we be extremists for love? will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice, or will we be extremists for the cause of justice?

I am a man who believes with all fervor and intensity in moderate progress. too often men who believe in moderation believe in it only moderately and tepidly and leave fervor to the extremists of the two sides - the extremists of reaction and the extremists of progress. washington, lincoln . . . are men who, to my mind, stand as the types of what wide, progressive leadership should be.

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. if we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. we should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

One thing that i feel very, very strongly is that we talk about islamic countries, islamic people, islamic leaders, as either moderates or extremists. it's almost like there are only two categories of muslims. and actually, that doesn't show respect. it shows lack of understanding of the diversity of muslim thought.

Is america becoming decadent? do we no longer regard our promises and pledges as sacred? ... we promised to make peace with germany only in conjunction with the allies; but we brought forward a separate peace, demanding for ourselves all the advantages of the treaty of versailles but rejecting all the responsibilities embodied in the treaty. it was america's president who induced europe to form a league of nations; and then america was the first country that refused to joint it.... if these are not the symptoms of national decadency, what are they?

The colonial experience all muslim countrieswent through may be a factor in the fight against western domination, british, french or whatever. they were until recently largely rural societies with land owning governing elites in most of them. i think they are certainly moving toward urbanization and much more pluralistic political systems. in almost every muslim country, that is occurring. obviously they are increasing their involvement with non-muslim societies. one peak aspect of this, of course, is the migration of muslims into europe.
