On Islam
- 'The fact that 12 million guest workers live - and will continue to live - in Europe and the United States, could also be a source of some danger... Exposure to repeated injustice will drive them into the arms of the fundamentalists... the worse matters become for the Muslim population objectively, and the more hopeless their European existence seems to them subjectively, the more easily they will fall victim to the lure if Islamism. Most security services in the industrialized nations are not yet properly equipped to differentiate accurately between harmless foreign workers and members of potentially hostile Islamic groups’[1]
- 'To the extent that Islamism constitutes a danger to any state, the best way to counter it is to understand the intellectual and organizational mechanisms in which Islamists operate. Effective counter-measures must begin at that point because ideas - even those that distort reality - can only be fought by other ideas. Helping to eliminate the existing abuses and inequities is the price that has to be paid for deflecting the danger of Islamism’ [2]
