More quotes by Samuel P. Huntington
Thus, biologically speaking the American people are literally only half an immigrant people.
Samuel P. Huntington
Critics say that America is a lie because its reality falls so far short of its ideals. They are wrong. America is not a lie it is a disappointment. But it can be a disappointment only because it is also a hope.
Samuel P. Huntington
If one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence came back today, he would not be surprised about what Americans were saying and believing and articulating in their public statements. It would all sound rather familiar.
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
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
I've been to Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait for brief visits at conferences, and they are very interesting countries.
Samuel P. Huntington

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
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
I don't say that the West is united, I don't suggest that.
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
Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.
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
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
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
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
I think it's hard to talk about the Muslim world and Christian world as blocks.
Samuel P. Huntington
