Radical Islam is world's greatest threat - Tony Blair


www.bbc.co.uk
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has described radical Islam as the greatest threat facing the world today.

He made the remark in a BBC interview marking the publication of his memoirs.

Mr Blair said radical Islamists believed that whatever was done in the name of their cause was justified - including the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.

Mr Blair, who led Britain into war in Afghanistan and Iraq, denied that his own policies had fuelled radicalism.

I posted in the later thread by Kiwi Foot, his thread went off on a different tangent to yours, which for some reason has barely begun.
I post here because this thread has a chance to be about Blair and not the conflicts in general.
Tony Blair was , from the begining a liar and a cheat. His government was a shadow of true Labour, something I was very upset by.
Going back a while now, but when he and the New Labour government were voted into power I was joyful. After what I would call disasterous reign by the Conservative Party (or as I like to call them the " Lets Bash the Poor, and the Undernourished Party" ) I felt that surely anything would be better than the state sponsored theft of the working classes freedom to live and eat .
I thought that the Labour element would provide for my needs and those of my family , because we were in the social bracket of being skint, and having a father who worked for the MoD . Suprise suprise the supposedly labour government did NOTHING for us, save of course for over complicating everything it touched and grasping power for itself. Tony Blair, and new labour in my opinion should have been shot , the moment it was revealed that they had lost the socialist aspect , tempered with capitalist pragmatism, that made the real Labour party a going concern. I hope they all burn in hell. They and thier crappy choices (to numerous to name ) kept me and my family in abject poverty for many years. I spit on them, I curse them,and theres no punishment I can concieve of which would be enough for the crime of dissapointing me to this extent.

Blimey. You really don't like Blair.

I can't argue with you though - although the Labour government did do some good things, they did more that was regressive and Orwellian. Alot of it, was down to evil Blair and his sycophants.

Where does he get off persecuting Muslims?


I don't see where he is persecuting Muslims. I don't know about you but I find a very distinct difference between those who follow the Muslim religion and those who are considered Islamic fundamentalists.

Fundamentalists of any religion are a threat to all. It just happens however that most terrorists are seemingly Islamic fundamentalists. So, in essence I am in agreement with his statements.

Well said that man.

Let me explain my thoughts on this - Basically, Tony Blair is whipping up the general anti-Muslim sentiment that is festering in this country. He's not doing it because radicalism of any sort (an excellent point from you) is obviously dangerous, he's doing it because it specifically targets Muslims.

His wife is a notorious Muslim hater, and they both belong to a hardline Catholic sect that essentially believes in modern day 'Crusades' against infidels of all sorts. Including atheists!

I think I see what you're getting at. Let me ask you this then. Would you agree or disagree with the statement of Islamic fundamentalists being the biggest threat currently; if it was made by some other figure, or perhaps a friend?

one needs to see the other side of the coin also...

busy yourself for 15 minutes including a 2:35 video, read this
chilling aspect of the Jewish people, their Rabbi's, their Gov't



the book: Torat Ha'Melech,

(two leading rabbis who endorsed the book, Dov Lior and Yaakov Yosef, were summoned to interrogations by the Shabak. However, the rabbis refused to appear at the interrogations, essentially thumbing their
noses at the state and its laws. And the government did nothing.
The episode raised grave questions about the willingness of the
Israeli government to confront the ferociously racist swathe of the
country's rabbinate. )



The controversy began when an Israeli tabloid panned the book's contents
as "230 pages on the laws concerning the killing of non-Jews, a kind of
guidebook for anyone who ponders the question of if and when it is
permissible to take the life of a non-Jew." According to the book's author
, Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira,
"Non-Jews are "uncompassionate by nature"
and should be killed in order to "curb their evil inclinations."



(hmmmm, and the radical islamics are worse?

the book by the Rabbi, also insists children are not to be spared,
just read the whole outrageous story...)

see:
www.alternet.org...


Watch the video (link is above on 'alternet... page #2):

...in defense of Torat Ha'Melech, insisting at the August 18 convention n Jerusalem that the book was no different than the Hagadah that all Jews read from on the holiday of Passover.
The Hagadah contains passages
about killing non-Jews and so does the Bible, Yosef reminded his audience.
"Does anyone want to change the Bible?" he asked
[...]

"The obligation to sacrifice your life is above all others
when fighting those who wish to destroy the authority of the Torah,"
bellowed Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira...



lots of funding for these terror training camps ("yeshiva")
from both USA private groups & the Israeli coalition government under Netanyahu:


By refusing to cut Yosef loose, his party remains a central actor
in the Israeli government. Thus the statement by Netanyahu was not only weak.
It was false.

You speak the truth. Look at Tony Blair - he's a lying murderer who give sweet talks in the disguise of "liberal" Christian and freedom.

This century is the most dirtiest. We're in an era where the slanderous evil murderers rant hatred time and again, when in fact they're the ones pulling the strings and spilling more blood.

Do not forget the names of leaders and countries who deceived the world into invading Iraq (after September 11 2001), torturing, raping and killing men, women and children.

It's not about being a radical #. The greatest threat today is ignorance and blind conviction.
