“on 9/11, thousands of American citizens were slaughtered before our eyes. It was the worst case of an attack on Americans, people say, since Pearl Harbor. No, this was far worse than Pearl Harbor because all of these Americans who were slaughtered, and it was a slaughter, all of them were noncombatants. This was not only the worst case of an attack on the United States of America, it was the worst terrorist attack, I believe, in history, at least in modern history. It is something we can never forget. If we do, we will do so at our peril. I believe perhaps some of the things that brought on this attack were the fact that we had forgotten some of the lessons of the past. I think it has been admirable since 9/11 that we have had the bipartisan commitment to standing strong in the face of this what I consider to be a barbaric challenge to civilization. We call this the war on terror. I do not call it the war on terror. I call it the war on those people who made war on us that began on 9/11, and that war is a war on those people who believe in radical Islam, not Muslims in general, but those people who believe in radical Islam, and I will define that radical Islam as being a belief that people have a right because of their faith in God to murder innocent people and commit acts of violence on people of other faiths.”
