Mahathir Bin Mohamad (2002年2月4日). “Islam, Terrorism and Malaysia's Response”. コロンビア大学. Asia Society. 2025年3月24日閲覧。 “Clearly Islam the religion is not the cause of terrorism. Islam, as I said, is a religion of peace. However through the centuries, deviations from the true teachings of Islam take place. And so Muslims kill despite the injunction of their religion against killing especially of innocent people.”
Butt, Hassan (2007年7月14日). “Muslim heads stuck firmly in the sand”. タイムズ. 2025年3月24日閲覧。 “Only when Muslims admit that 9/11 and 7/7 were the work of Muslim terrorists can we move forward to the next juncture: which is recognising the hard truth that Islam does permit the use of violence. Muslims who deny this, preferring instead to mouth easy platitudes about how Islam is nothing but a religion of peace, make the job easier for the radicals who can point to passages in the Koran, set down in black and white, that instruct on the killing of unbelievers.”
「少なくともイスラム世界における自爆テロについては、殉教、ジハードという概念と切り離せず、それらを根拠として予見でき、それらの論理によって正当化される明らかに宗教的な現象である。これが世俗的な行動だというのは、祈りが世俗的な行動だというのと同じことだ。」Harris, Sam (2004). The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason. New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.. p. 251. ISBN0-393-03515-8
