Mosab Hassan Yousef Quotes

Terrorism is a part of mainstream Islam. The Koran preaches violence.

The enemy is not just terrorism. It is the threat posed specifically by Islamist terrorism, by Bin Ladin and others who draw on a long tradition of extreme intolerance within a minority strain of Islam that does not distinguish politics from religion, and distorts both.

Islamic fundamentalism is attacking us at home.

We have a toxic ideology, hopefully very small, within Islam; certainly most people, most Muslims, don't agree with this violent, jihadist approach.

Islamist terrorism is a cancer on Islam, and Muslims themselves must fight it at our side.

So… Why would I hand a loaded gun to a Muslim and allow him to shoot lethal weapons next to people his Koran commands him to kill?

We are in a global war with a radical and violent form of the Islamic religion, and it is irresponsible and dangerous to deny it.

The Islamist ideology took decades to incubate within our communities, and it will take decades to debunk.
