More quotes by Samuel P. Huntington
Certainly there are various trans-Islamic political movements, which try to appeal to Muslims in all societies.
Samuel P. Huntington
It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.
Samuel P. Huntington
Iran of course is Shiite, while the bulk of the Arabs are Sunni, that is a problem or could be a problem. Also, there is the simple fact that Iran is non-Arab and most of the Muslims in the Middle East are Arab.
Samuel P. Huntington
I think it's hard to talk about the Muslim world and Christian world as blocks.
Samuel P. Huntington
In the coming decades, questions of identity, meaning cultural heritage, language, and religion will play a central role in politics.
Samuel P. Huntington
Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.
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
Well, I think the United States first of all has to recognize the world for what it is.
Samuel P. Huntington
When you have increased migration of peoples and ethnic and religious minorities, you develop a set of rules and language the larger society can accept and the minority community can accept.
Samuel P. Huntington
Maybe Iraq will come back and become the dominant power among Arab countries. That seems to me as conceivable.
Samuel P. Huntington
People have multiple identities.
Samuel P. Huntington
Collective will supplants individual whim
Samuel P. Huntington
It was one thing to contain the Soviet Union in Europe because Britain, France, and Germany were all willing to join in. But will Japan and other Asian countries be willing to join in the containment of China?
Samuel P. Huntington
But then I came to the conclusion that no, while there may be an immigration problem, it isn't really a serious problem. The really serious problem is assimilation.
Samuel P. Huntington
Fascism and communism have not entirely disappeared but have been sidelined certainly, and liberal democracy has come to be accepted, in theory at least, around the world, if not always in practice.
Samuel P. Huntington
Cultural America is under siege. And as the Soviet experience illustrates, ideology is a weak glue to hold together people otherwise lacking racial, ethnic, and cultural sources of community.
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
U.S. foreign policy is in every area impacted by ethnic groups of one sort or another as well as economic groups and regional groups.
Samuel P. Huntington
Islam's borders are bloody and so are its innards. The fundamental problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam, a different civilisation whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.
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
