“I am not going to believe in militant nationalism, which cultivates a culture of intolerance, Can't we think of a solution without violence.”
Tarif Naaz, Mayhem In Paradise“Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self assertive humble. ...truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis that reconciles the two.”
Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love“...But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace.”
Winston S. Churchill, The Story of the Malakand Field Force“To the militant, identity is everything.”
Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others“If there ever was a militant religion, it was that of early New England.”
Paul Harris“Be fanatically positive and militantly optimistic. If something is not to your liking, change your liking.”
Rick Steves“I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation.”
Daniel Radcliffe“Americans just don’t realize the viciousness of the militant Islamic fundamentalist.”
Brigitte Gabriel, Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America“I hate how long it takes to feel radical, militantly maternal self-acceptance.”
Anne Lamott
