Therefore, no terrorism can actually be Islamic.
Rush LimbaughIn the area of international security, taking into account that the United States and Russia are the largest nuclear powers: We are ready to jointly work to strengthen the non-proliferation regime for weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.

Vladimir PutinSo far, the official definitions of terrorism have the role of demonizing the enemies of the United States and Israel, and of sanitizing recourse to indiscriminate force by both governments that causes widespread death of innocent civilians.

Richard A. FalkThere is no difference between an ISIS gunman and an American gunman that goes into a mosque, or the gunman Baruch Goldstein who went into the mosque in Bethlehem and killed 29 guys about fifteen years ago.

Shirin Ebaditerrorism is interesting to a novelist because it's a crime that's driven by an idea, as opposed to some kind of base materialist impulse.

They begin, by small but dangerous increments, to cease to be as liberal as they once were.

There is a war in the Middle East. This is the main concern. But no, let us keep speculating on the threat from Russia.
