Blair in "Radical Islam" Warning

PRESS TV: Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said radical Islamists are the greatest threat for the world since they justify whatever they did - including the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons - under the name of Islam.

Mr Blair fell short of mentioning his role in the occupation of Chechenya, Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan and denied his policies had fueled radicalism . He claimed Western policies were designed to confront people who were "regressive, wicked and backward-looking".

The Islamic Human Rights Commission expressed outrage at remarks made by prime-minister Tony Blair “insensitive and provocative statements.” The BBC reported “Mr Blair said no democratic regime would spend billions of pounds on chemical and biological weapons.” >>> SEF/HE | Saturday, September 04, 2010
