Samuel P. Huntington Quotes About Culture

• Las fronteras del Islam son sangrientas y sus entrañas también. El problema fundamental para Occidente no es el fundamentalismo islámico. Es el Islam, una civilización diferente cuyo pueblo está convencido de la superioridad de su cultura y obsesionado con la inferioridad de su poder.

Por eso me parece importante intentar mantener bajo control estas tendencias hacia el extremismo.
