• I have written on numerous occasions that there is no distinction in the American Muslim community between peaceful Muslims and jihadists. While Americans prefer to imagine that the vast majority of American Muslims are civic-minded patriots who accept wholeheartedly the parameters of American pluralism, this proposition has actually never been proven.

• Planteo a los musulmanes de Occidente una pregunta muy básica: ¿Seguiremos siendo espiritualmente infantiles, cediendo a las presiones culturales para callarnos y conformarnos, o maduraremos y nos convertiremos en ciudadanos de pleno derecho, defendiendo el pluralismo que nos permite estar en esta parte del mundo en primer lugar? Mi pregunta para los no musulmanes es igualmente básica: ¿Sucumbirán a la intimidación de ser llamados "racistas", o nos desafiarán finalmente a los musulmanes a asumir la responsabilidad de nuestro papel en lo que aflige al Islam?

• Americans have always believed that-within the law-all kinds of people should be allowed to take the initiative in all kinds of activities. And out of that pluralism has come virtually all of our creativity. Freedom is real only to the extent that there are diverse alternatives.

• The courts demand that every religious person must accommodate a single atheist who might be 'offended' at the favorable mention of God's name. But no atheist can be forced to accommodate a single religious person who might be offended by the atheist's unbelief, or who wants to be part of the pluralism and diversity about which liberals regularly speak, but which is not broad enough to embrace people who believe in God.

• Es lamentable que [Louis] Brandeis no fuera capaz de traducir o abstraer su devoción por el pluralismo cultural y la igualdad racial, tal y como se lo planteó a los judíos para esclavizar a las personas y sus descendientes y a los afroamericanos.

• Suppose we concede that if I had been born of Muslim parents in Morocco rather than Christian parents in Michigan, my beliefs would be quite different. [But] the same goes for the pluralist...If the pluralist had been born in [Morocco] he probably wouldn't be a pluralist. Does it follow that...his pluralist beliefs are produced in him by an unreliable belief-producing process?

• Las verdaderas causas del terrorismo no son la pobreza y la opresión en sí, sino la bancarrota de las ideologías materialistas, como el neoconservadurismo, que prometen mucho pero cumplen poco. La doctrina central del neoconservadurismo es el "capitalismo democrático". Se trata del oxímoron definitivo, porque en la práctica el pluralismo político que debería subyacer a la democracia no puede existir en un clima de plutocracia económica.

• The prevailing notion is that the state should be neutral as to religion, and furthermore, that the best way to be neutral about it is to avoid all mention of it. By this sort of logic, nudism is the best compromise among different styles of dress. The secularist version of 'pluralism' amounts to theological nudism.

• We can't blame the entire Muslim society because of the mischievous acts of a few individuals. Therefore, at the general public level we must cultivate the notion of not just one religion, one truth, but pluralism and many truths. We can change the atmosphere, and we can modify certain ways of thinking.

• The self identity of Man is transcultural, and thus cannot have any single point of reference. Pluralism is not synonymous with tolerance of a variety of opinions. Pluralism amounts to the recognition of the unthinkable, the absurd, and up to a limit, intolerable. Reality in itself does not need to be transparent intelligible.

• I just think in this world of extreme religious pluralism, the great spectrum of things ranging from the healthy and the respectable, and the balance and the true and tried, you go down to quite bizarre things which are very risky for people, particularly people who are young or vulnerable or unable to discriminate.

• Y él [Louis Brandeis] habla con su joven acólito, Horace Kallen, que escribió este hermoso libro titulado Cultural Pluralism, y llega a creer que siendo mejores judíos, o mejores miembros de nuestro grupo étnico, podemos ser mejores estadounidenses, porque Estados Unidos es como una orquesta en la que la identidad se define por la diversidad de perspectivas que aportamos.

• Se trata de grandes retos en nuestra época, no sólo cómo vivimos como co-ciudadanos en sociedades con personas de diferentes religiones y culturas -es un gran reto en sí mismo-, sino cómo pensamos sobre todo ello como cristianos, o como judíos, o como musulmanes, o como hindúes. ¿Cómo pensamos en el otro religioso? Nuestro pluralismo tiene una dimensión teológica y otra cívica.
