“মৌলবাদের প্রধান চরিত্র লক্ষণ হল যুক্তিহীন অন্ধবিশ্বাস। মৌলবাদ রোখার সবচাইতে বড় হাতিয়ার হল যুক্তিনিষ্ঠ চিন্তার চাষ করা। মানুষকে সংস্কৃতিবান এবং চিন্তাশীল করতে পারলেই মৌলবাদ বাধা দেয়ার সবচাইতে বড় কাজটি করা হয়।
আজকের দিনে দেশের যে সমস্ত কবি সাহিত্যিক দেশে-বিদেশে মৌলবাদের বিরুদ্ধে প্রচন্ড বক্তব্য রাখছেন, তাদের কথাবার্তার মধ্যে যুক্তিনিষ্ঠা এবং চিন্তাশীলতার অংশ কতটুকু? অজ্ঞ, নির্বোধ এবং নিরক্ষর মানুষের বিশ্বাসের ওপর আক্রমণ করে, তাঁকে চেতিয়ে তুলেই মৌলবাদের বিরুদ্ধে বড় জঙ্গাটা করা হয় বলে মনে করেন তাদেরকে আমি সুস্থ মানুষ বলে মনে করিনে। হয়ত তাঁরা কপট নয়ত মূর্খ।”

“The fundamentalist seeks to bring down a great deal more than buildings. Such people are against, to offer just a brief list, freedom of speech, a multi-party political system, universal adult suffrage, accountable government, Jews, homosexuals, women's rights, pluralism, secularism, short skirts, dancing, beardlessness, evolution theory, sex. There are tyrants, not Muslims.
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said that we should now define ourselves not only by what we are for but by what we are against. I would reverse that proposition, because in the present instance what we are against is a no brainer. Suicidist assassins ram wide-bodied aircraft into the World Trade Center and Pentagon and kill thousands of people: um, I'm against that. But what are we for? What will we risk our lives to defend? Can we unanimously concur that all the items in the preceding list -- yes, even the short skirts and the dancing -- are worth dying for?
The fundamentalist believes that we believe in nothing. In his world-view, he has his absolute certainties, while we are sunk in sybaritic indulgences. To prove him wrong, we must first know that he is wrong. We must agree on what matters: kissing in public places, bacon sandwiches, disagreement, cutting-edge fashion, literature, generosity, water, a more equitable distribution of the world's resources, movies, music, freedom of thought, beauty, love. These will be our weapons. Not by making war but by the unafraid way we choose to live shall we defeat them.
How to defeat terrorism? Don't be terrorized. Don't let fear rule your life. Even if you are scared.”
