Frases célebres de Samuel Huntington

“Las civilizaciones son las últimas tribus humanas, y el choque de civilizaciones es un conflicto tribal a escala planetaria. […] Las relaciones que están surgiendo entre civilizaciones variarán normalmente de lo distante a lo violento, sitúandose la mayoría de las veces entre ambos extremos.”

“Algunos occidentales han afirmado que Occidente no tiene problemas con el islam, sino sólo con los extremistas islamistas violentos. Mil cuatrocientos años de historia demuestran lo contrario. Las relaciones entre el islam y el cristianismo, tanto ortodoxo como occidental, han sido con frecuencia tempestuosas. Cada uno de ellos ha sido el Otro del otro. Durante casi mil años, desde el primer desembarco moro en España [711] hasta el segundo asedio turco de Viena [1683], Europa estuvo bajo la amenaza constante del islam. El islam es la única civilización que ha puesto en peligro la supervivencia de Occidente, y lo ha hecho al menos dos veces (la arremetida árabe contra la península Ibérica y Francia, hasta la derrota de Poitiers en 732; la amenaza turca entre los siglos XIV y XVII).”

“Occidente ganó la guerra por no por la superioridad de sus ideas, valores o religión, sino por su superioridad en la aplicación de la violencia organizada. Los occidentales a menudo olvidan este hecho, los no occidentales, nunca lo han olvidado.”

“China under the Tang, Sung, and Ming dynasties, the Islamic world from the eighth to the twelfth centuries, and Byzantium from the eighth to the eleventh centuries far surpassed Europe in wealth, territory, military power, and artistic, literary and scientific achievements. Between the eleventh and thirteen centuries, European culture began to develop, facilitated by the "eager and systematic appropriation of suitable elements from the higher civilization of Islam and Bizantium, together with adaptation of this inheritance to the special conditions and interests of the West."”
