You won't find reasonable men on the tops of tall mountains.
The extremists are talking too loudly, and everyone is convinced that only he is on the right side.
Horrible to say, in a manner I am a Communist.
Let me announce, with all the strength at my command, that I am not a terrorist and I never was, expect perhaps in the beginning of my revolutionary career. And I am convinced that we cannot gain anything through those methods.
When people move from one extreme set of views to embrace another equally batty picture of the world, they expect us to applaud their choice, as if the fact that they have rejected one form of nuttiness somehow validates the screwball views they hold now.
These terrorists aren't trying to kill us because we offended them. They attack us because they want to impose their view of the world on as many people as they can, and America is standing in their way.
I don't think Osama is a Muslim. I don't think Osama is a human being.
Don't let anybody fool you who says Islam can be moderated. It will not be moderated in a million years.
The idea of trying to fight against extremism was written off as naive.
In those days…we were all friends – all willing to help one another…We were very radical, however, in our views of right and wrong…. We opposed bad men everywhere, supported all fugitive slaves who came to us, and worked like beavers for the right
The fact that the Moslem fundamentalist terrorists have these odd beliefs doesn’t mean that they are stupid.
CREEP in the Nixon Campaign
My constant efforts are directed against ultras of all kinds.
Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.
I think in many ways narrow minded-attitudes lead to extreme thinking.
I'm a radical environmentalist; I think the sooner we asphyxiate in our own filth, the better. The world will do better without us. Maybe some fuzzy animals will go with us, but there'll be plenty of other animals, and they'll be back.
I'm a bit of an extremist.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
I would say that ISIS wants us to think so. And I think that's the real danger here. It's that what ISIS wants the narrative to be is that they are the true Muslims.
All empty souls tend toward extreme opinions.
Radicalism and extremism, while they are dangers, they exist in every society on some level.
Open debate is our strongest tool in standing up to extremism. The far more dangerous avenue is to force extremist ideas underground, where they can fester without competition.
Stop seeing socialists and anti-Americans as Democrats. When a Michael Moore compares beheaders to our own Minutemen and laments that too many Democrats were in the World Trade Center, he deserves no platform alongside Wesley Clark or a seat next to Jimmy Carter or praise for his pseudo-dramas from high Democrats.
When I returned to the United Kingdom, I found that I could no longer justify Islamist extremism as the antidote.
The alt-right is working hard to cloak its desire to create chaos in the streets as free speech. They say they want to air their views, but it's about provoking violent reactions. We all can easily see that this is not about free speech.
I would say that I have become more radical as I have gotten older. I started out very radical when I was young, like most people, but I became less actively politically engaged in the middle of my life.
