Our work in Britain suggests that radicalization is driven by an ideology which claims that Muslims around the world are being oppressed and - and this is the key bit of the argument - which then legitimizes violence in their supposed defense.

There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we can infiltrate them.

De-radicalisation begins by breaking down the logic which once seemed unassailable and rethinking what you are fighting for and why. That is hard to do when Islamists and Islamophobes feed off each other's hateful cliches.

The secular elites are so terrified of telling the truth about radical Islam. When you talk about the radical Islamists, we have got to get straight and get serious and talk about it in the right way.

Islamism is an ideology that seeks to impose any version of Islam over society.

We have to fight radical Islam wherever it exists. It's in Afghanistan, it's in Saudi Arabia, throughout the Middle-East in big numbers and it's in the United States.

We are in a global war with a radical and violent form of the Islamic religion, and it is irresponsible and dangerous to deny it.

I tend not to believe radical Muslim movements.

Islam is not a religion. It's a political system. It has a different set of rules.

Islam has been badly used by a certain ideology.
