“The driving force behind today's terrorist threat is Islamist fundamentalism. The struggle we are engaged in is, at root, ideological. During the last century a strain of Islamist thinking has developed which, like other totalitarianisms, such as Nazism and Communism, offers its followers a form of redemption through violence.” ThinkingTodayLastsFormReligionForceBehindsStruggleViolenceCenturyOffersRootsThreatDrivingTerroristRedemptionCommunismEngagedFollowersFundamentalismNaziStrainTotalitarianismIdeologicalIsmsDriving ForceIslamists Author:David Cameron

“There are Harvard grads, free thinkers, feminists, abolitionists, well-to-do people who want to go write poetry and live on a farm and cook and laugh and have a good time. As they themselves described it, it was an "inward facing" community. They were focusing on making a better existence for themselves, which I think is also the driving force of 20th century communalism in the US, the thought being that the world is corrupt, and we're going to build this little garden of innocence.” PeopleThinkingWorldWantWritingWellsLittlesForceCommunityExistenceLaughingCenturyGardenFeministDrivingInnocenceCooksGood TimesFarmsThinkerInward20th CenturyHaving A Good TimeHarvardDriving ForceAbolitionistGradFree ThinkersCommunalism Author:Christine Jennings
