More quotes by Samuel P. Huntington
I don't say that the West is united, I don't suggest that.
Samuel P. Huntington
People everywhere talk about Islam and the West. Presumably that has some relationship to reality, that these are entities that have some meaning and they do. Of course the core ofthat reality is differences in religion.
Samuel P. Huntington
When I think of countries that I enjoyed visiting, that I would want to go back to, Italy would be one, Japan would be another. I've only been to Indonesia once or twice and it seems like such a fascinating country. I guess India certainly.
Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington
Well, I think the United States first of all has to recognize the world for what it is.
Samuel P. Huntington
I don't think that the Israeli lobby is unique. It may differ from the others in the extent by which it is focused on just one issue, which is the survival of Israel, which is understandable, and promoting Israeli development and aid to Israel, and so forth and so on.
Samuel P. Huntington
The larger society has to recognize some degree of autonomy for the minority: the right to practice their own religion and way of life and to some extent their language.
Samuel P. Huntington
Global politics remains extremely complex and countries have different interests, which will also lead them to make what might seem as rather bizarre friends and allies.
Samuel P. Huntington
Certainly there are various trans-Islamic political movements, which try to appeal to Muslims in all societies.
Samuel P. Huntington
Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.
Samuel P. Huntington
Many of the most difficult questions concerning the role of ethnic minorities centers on language.
Samuel P. Huntington
Expectations should not always be taken as reality because you never know when you will be disappointed.
