"Counter-terrorism"	“The current threat from Islamist terrorism is serious and sustained. It is genuinely international in scope, involving a variety of groups, networks and individuals who are driven by particular violent and extremist beliefs. It is indiscriminate – aiming to cause mass casualties, regardless of the age, nationality, or religion of their victims; and the terrorists are often prepared to commit suicide to kill others. Overall, we judge that the scale of the threat is potentially still increasing and is not likely to diminish significantly for some years. ”		July 2006
"Extremism"	“the distinction between “non-violent extremism” and “violent extremism” is not a valid one.”	Alex Schmid	May 2014
Robin Cook	“So long as the struggle against terrorism is perceived as a war that can be won by military means, it is doomed to fail. The more the West emphasises confrontation, the more it silences moderate voices in the Muslim world who want to speak up for cooperation.”	Robin Cook	8 July 2005
Philip Haney	“(He) was ordered by the DHS to alter or modify information because it was not politically correct. The problem with Saudi Arabia in relation to terrorism, said Haney, is that the country supports Islamic schools called madrasas in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. They send Saudi males there to be educated in Koranic theology and other Islamic texts, and these schools often function as a breeding ground for terrorist organizations”	Philip Haney
Fatima Lahnait	“Spain remains a target for Islamist extremists. Moreover, like other European countries, it is now facing an increasing radicalisation phenomenon that may lead to violent extremism and home-grown Islamist terrorism.”	Fatima Lahnait	2018
Douglas Murray	“Sara Khan is a deeply admired and respected figure among the small community of people in the UK actually dedicated to challenging Islamist extremism.”	Douglas Murray	1 February 2018
Hanif Qadir	“I could have prevented [the 2017?] London terrorist attacks”	Hanif Qadir	2017
Religion	“Some years ago, a leaked MI5 behavioural study of pathways to terrorism concluded that there was no single profile or pathway to violent radicalisation. It also found, contrary to conventional assumptions, that religious conservatism tended to act as a bulwark against extremism.”	Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed	13 February 2015
