More quotes by 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
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
Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.
Samuel P. Huntington
We really only came around to accepting and integrating the propositional dimension of identity into a concept of ourselves at the time of the American Revolution.
Samuel P. Huntington
People have multiple identities.
Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington
Collective will supplants individual whim
Samuel P. Huntington
Many of the most difficult questions concerning the role of ethnic minorities centers on language.
Samuel P. Huntington
I think fundamentalism is this radical attitude toward one's own identity and civilization as compared to other people's identities and cultures.
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

Samuel P. Huntington
Expectations should not always be taken as reality because you never know when you will be disappointed.
Samuel P. Huntington
Two significant developments in the past several decades have been the collapse of communism as an ideology and the general acceptance, in rhetoric, if not practice, of liberal democracy.
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
I am doubtful that there will be any sort of real coherence of Muslim societies into a single political system run by an elected or non-elected group of leaders.
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
Turkey has its own interests and historically, Turkey conquered most of the Arab world, and the Arabs had to fight wars of liberation to free themselves from the Turks. That's in the past and that doesn't necessarily shape what is going on but it's there and it's there in people's memories.
Samuel P. Huntington
The relations between countries in the coming decade are most likely to reflect their cultural commitments, their cultural ties and antagonism with other countries.
Samuel P. Huntington
The core of the American set of beliefs has remained pretty constant.
Samuel P. Huntington
I don't say that the West is united, I don't suggest that.
Samuel P. Huntington
