Ben Carson Quotes

ISIS takes a long-term approach to its apocalyptic war with West - we have to do the same.

President Obama fuels that perception. That will change when militants across the globe see that when you join ISIS that you are giving up your life, you are signing your death warrant.

ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism will face no more determined foe than I will be.

ISIS is a radical jihadist group that is increasingly sophisticated in its ability, for example, to radicalize American citizens, in its inability to exploit loopholes in our legal immigration system, in its ability to capture and hold territory in the Middle East, as I outlined earlier, in multiple countries.

We’ve spent more time debating what to call extremism than we have discussing a long-term strategy for defeating it. If we don’t wrestle with the long-term, every four years a different president and a different foreign minister will be facing a different terror group with a different acronym.

ISIS is a terrorist organization. It is a terrorist organization that the world must unite against.

We will continue to work around the world to beat ISIS about where they may exist, these are horrible ideologies or murderous ideologies.

The survival of ISIS's ideology is success enough for them. We must spare no effort in denying ISIS this success.

ISIL presents a growing threat not only in Syria and Iraq, but throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and now in the United States as well. Terrorists and their enablers will continue to receive the unwavering attention of law enforcement and the intelligence community.

International terrorists who pursue completely mad objectives such as establishing a world caliphate or something of the sort, are quite adept at disguising their real aims as a struggle for independence in Chechnya.

Al-Qaeda has one ideology and they go back to the same leadership in Afghanistan or in Syria or in Iraq. That's the question. You have tens of thousands of foreigners, that's definitely correct. We are fighting them on the ground and we know this.

Degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL

More people are realising that ISIL's not a caliphate. It's a crime ring.

We didn't create ISIS - ISIS created themselves, but we will stop them, and one of the ways we stop them is by not funding them, and not arming them.

We need to be focused on defeating radical Islamic terrorists.

Americans understand we fight not a religion; ours is not a campaign against the Muslim faith. Ours is a campaign against evil.

We do not create terrorism by fighting the terrorists. We invite terrorism by ignoring them.

Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not 'Islamic.' No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.

I close with two words, ‘Kill ISIS!’ God bless you all!

Please deal with the Radical Islamic Threat today.

If you can educate Muslims about their biggest enemy, and if you can solve the problem, the ideological problem, it doesn't give an immediate result, but it's the best thing over the long term.

The fight against radical Islamic terrorists and ISIS has been called the war of our time.

Switzerland is part of the fight against terrorism. There is no neutrality against this threat.

Social media is not only the most important tool for inciting terrorists, it can also be an effective weapon against them.

We cannot allow Afghanistan to become again a haven for terrorists who inspire, plan and provide support for attacks like those of 11 September 2001, of 7 July 2005 in London, and more.
