People Have Multiple Identities.

A Lot Of People Tend To Think I'm A Dogmatic Ideologue, Which I'm Not.

We Really Only Came Around To Accepting And Integrating The Propositional Dimension Of Identity Into A Concept Of Ourselves At The Time Of The American Revolution.

Certainly There Are Various Trans-islamic Political Movements, Which Try To Appeal To Muslims In All Societies.

I Think Clearly The United States, As Well As Other Western Nations, Should Stand By Their Commitments To Human Rights And Democracy And Should Try To Influence Other Countries To Move In That Direction.

I Think In Theory, The United States Finds It Much Easier To Deal With Situations Where There Is A Leading Country. You Can Go To The Leaders Of That Country And Say, For Example, To India, "there Are All These Problems In Bangladesh, We Really Have To Do Something About It, What Do You Suggest We Can Do To Work Out A Common Policy?" But When You Don't Have The Equivalent Of India, You Have To Go Capital To Capital Trying To Put Together A Coalition, Which Is Extraordinarily Difficult, Especially In The Arab World, Because Of The Historic Rivalries And Branches Of Islam.
