| "Extremism" | “the distinction between “non-violent extremism” and “violent extremism” is not a valid one.” | Alex Schmid | May 2014 |
| "Non-violent extremism" | “It can even be argued that ‘non-violent extremism’ is a contradiction in terms. While there can be non-violent and violent radicals, it makes, in my view and based on the distinction between radicalism and extremism elaborated above, less sense to distinguish between violent and non-violent extremists.” | Alex Schmid | March 2013 |
| 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 |
| Peter Neumann | “No one I know has done more on the ground with practical experience countering violent extremism than Hanif Qadir. His experience and expertise is something we can all learn from. For anyone interested in counter-extremism, his book is an absolute must read.” | Peter Neumann | |
| 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 |
