“President Hollande moet stoppen met nog meer militairen de straat op te sturen. Wordt het nu geen tijd dat hij zijn eigen Franse leger plus het vreemdelingenlegioen naar ar-Raqqah stuurt om er de gekken aan hoofd van het kalifaat als onkruid uit te roeien? Als Obama te laf is om de vuiligheid op te kuisen die zijn voorganger er naliet, dan moet iemand met grotere kloten aan zijn lijf maar het voortouw nemen.”

“He tells me that the last time he was arrested, it was because his trousers were too long. IS insists that should always be above ankle length. Anyone found breaking this rule has to undergo a week-long Sharia course. As if such ridiculous charges were not bad enough, they deliberately make up some accusations, knowing them to be false. We've all witnessed this. Yet Islam does not allow conviction is based on suspicions alone. Any true Muslim who has seen what Daesh does knows what fakers they are. Not only I committing crimes against us, but they are also committing crimes against our beloved religion.”

“President Barack Obama and many liberal-minded commentators have been hesitant to call this Islamist ideology by its proper name. They seem to fear that both Muslim communities and the religiously intolerant will hear the word “Islam” and simply assume that all Muslims are being held responsible for the excesses of the jihadist few. I call this the Voldemort effect, after the villain in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books. Many well-meaning people in Ms. Rowling’s fictional world are so petrified of Voldemort’s evil that they do two things: They refuse to call Voldemort by name, instead referring to “He Who Must Not Be Named,” and they deny that he exists in the first place. Such dread only increases public hysteria, thus magnifying the appeal of Voldemort’s power. The same hysteria about Islamism is unfolding before our eyes. But no strategy intended to defeat Islamism can succeed if Islamism itself and its violent expression in jihadism are not first named, isolated and understood. From: Maajid Nawaz's article titled, 'How to Beat Islamic State', December 11th, 2015.”

“It is time for the international community to work for the creation of an independent Kurdistan as they did once for the Jews after the Holocaust. The current war against ISIS, which is perceived by many as World War Three, can be compared to World War Two. After horrible wars, great changes can be brought about for those who have suffered extreme injustice.”
