September 2010 Last updated at 19:41 ET Radical Islam is world's greatest threat - Tony Blair The Tony Blair BBC interview Tony Blair has been making the rounds following the publication of his memoirs 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. Continue reading the main story Asked about the argument that Chechens, Kashmiris, Palestinians, Iraqis and Afghans were resisting foreign occupation, he said Western polices were designed to confront radical Islamists because they were "regressive, wicked and backward-looking". The aim of al-Qaeda in Iraq was "not to get American troops out of Baghdad [but] to destabilise a government the people of Iraq have voted for", he told the BBC's Owen Bennett Jones in a World Service interview. 'Stronger will' The former British leader - who now acts as the Middle East envoy for the international Quartet - said that Iran was one of the biggest state sponsors of radical Islam, and it was necessary to prevent it by any means from developing a nuclear weapon. "We need to give a message to Iran that is very clear - that they cannot have nuclear weapons capability, and we will stop them," he said. Mr Blair said he was not advocating military action, but simply saying no option could be taken off the table. Iran denies pursuing a nuclear weapons programme, and insists its atomic work is for civilian purposes. Mr Blair told the BBC his view of foreign policy had changed as a result of the 9/11 attacks: "After 11 September, rightly or wrongly, I felt the calculus of risk had changed. "There is the most enormous threat from the combination of this radical extreme movement and the fact that, if they could, they would use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. "You can't take a risk with that happening." Mr Blair said he agonised over how to respond to radical Islam and still had doubts that he was right. These are really difficult issues, he said, but added: "This extremism is so deep that in the end they have to know that they're facing a stronger will than theirs." Mr Blair has also expressed optimism about the prospect of peace in the Middle East. Direct talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians began in Washington on Thursday. Speaking in Dublin, on the prime-time entertainment programme The Late Late Show, Mr Blair said he believed the Middle East peace process was similar to Northern Ireland - and would be successful. He said: "I feel it can be settled. You just have to carry on." There was a small anti-war protest outside the Dublin studio where the interview took place. Mr Blair also told the Late Late Show that his successor as prime minister, Gordon Brown, remained a friend. In his autobiography, Mr Blair said Mr Brown was "maddening", had "zero" emotional intelligence and sought to frustrate key reforms. However, Mr Blair said there were many things he admired about Mr Brown and would "probably" still go for a drink with him. |

Islam is as much a threat as radical leaders policing the world, in this dodgy number's opinion. Blair, who I believe has more influence than sense, irritates me - and I'm a non-religious, middle-class, white English man who once voted for him - a moment of madness on my part. Blair had a reputation for meddling in foreign affairs, FACT. Blair became known as the man who poodled up to USA World Police, FACT. Blair wrongly went to war with Iraq, resulting in thousands of innocent deaths, FACT. This man is now the Middle East Peace Envoy for some reason, as if to rub it in some more. The man is a well wishing petrol bomb in a sea of fire. |

While I think Blair was WRONG about Iraq, I believe he makes some good points with respect to fundamentalist Muslims. I'm not so sure if he should be openly musing about military action against Iran, however.

I never voted for Labour. People fear mongering about Islam is such a bore. People even talking about terrorism is a massive turn off for me. Islam is only 'bad' because its followers belong to hideously ugly inferior races. However, it's no worse than Hinduism or Sikhism in that regard. If Islam were eradicated tomorrow, its inferior race followers would still exist, so I couldn't care less about the religion. One thing that pisses me off about America wanting to forcibly 'civilise' the world is that America has probably the worst culture in the history of human civilisation. They're in no position to judge other cultures, let alone destroy cultures on the basis that most people in a country aren't fat fuck **** stuffing their face with re-processed, **** *****spit-and-jizzed-in triple grease burgers, watching vapid, canned-laughter reruns of sitcoms when they're not working 7 day weeks in a little cubicle making a profit for some soulless corporation that's just built a new factory on some endangered monkey's favourite tree...etc etc. Fuck America. |
