It is my hypothesis that the fundamental source of conflict in this new [post-cold-war] world will not be primarily ideological or primarily economic. the great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of conflict will be cultural. nation states will remain the most powerful actors in world affairs, but the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations. the clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. the fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.

India had barely become independent, in 1947, when pakistan invaded kashmir, which at the time was ruled by a maharajah. the maharajah fled, and the people of kashmir, led by sheikh abdullah, asked for indian help. lord [louis] mountbatten, who was still governor general, replied that he wouldn't be able to supply aid to kashmir unless pakistan declared war, and he didn't seem bothered by the fact that the pakistanis were slaughtering the population.

Out there, in the world, all the walls were covered with graffiti: "yids, go back to palestine," so we came back to palestine, and now the worldatlarge shouts at us: "yids, get out of palestine."

If you look at indian movies, every time they wanted an exotic locale, they would have a dance number in kashmir. kashmir was india's fairyland. indians went there because in a hot country you go to a cold place. people would be entranced by the sight of snow.

When we start using religion as a bludgeon in politics, when we start questioning other people's faith, we start using religion to divide, instead of bring the country together, then i think we've got a problem.

Iran is a country that talks about, denies the holocaust, promises to wipe out israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world. this is a regime that is giving vent to the worst impulses that you see right now in the middle east. they deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don't give freedom of religion.
