Ayaan Hirsi Ali

We have completely failed to define the enemy, and because we have failed to define the enemy, we are flying blind.

We as a Nation must be committed to shut down the ideology of Islamism, just as we defeated fascism, just as we defeated communism.

The ideology of Islamism or political Islam contradicts the constitutional values of this country.

If our posture on September 11, 2001, was we are going to take the wall to them and we are going to stop this evil, in 2017 we can barely say that we have stopped that.

there is no sense of urgency. There is a great deal of a sense of urgency, and between 2001 and today we have failed, and we have failed miserably, and it is time to correct our course.

We must absolutely separate the many Muslims who do not practice Islamism from those who do.

the use of words, the use of speech, the use of images can never ever justify, never ever justify a retaliation of violence.

It's time that Muslims take to the streets in large numbers to show the same solidarity for the freedom of expression.

I agree with President Bush, I agree with President Obama and with all the leaders of the civilized world that we are not at war with Islam. But within Islam is a radical movement that has declared war on us.

The grim truth is, for me to be safe, I have to outlive a generation of young minds who are polluted, whose minds are contaminated with this ideology.

What I'm saying is there is a third way. Never limit your options to just two.
