I say I haven't lost my religion. I've lost my ideology.

Neoconservatism had the philosophy that you go in with a supply-led approach to impose democratic values from the top down. Whereas Islamists and far-right organizations, for decades, have been building demand for their ideology on the grassroots.

No idea is above scrutiny and no people are beneath dignity.

I care not to debate which came first, Islamism or anti-Muslim bigotry; suffice to say that both feed into each other symbiotically.

Rather than allowing jihadists to shut down debate, it must proliferate so much that they simply cannot kill us all.

Let me make this clear: it is our duty to adopt a policy barring the wearing of niqabs in these public buildings.
