Tony Blair: Islam Is Incompatible With Modern World

Tony Blair

Former British Prime Minister and Peace Envoy to the Middle East, Tony Blair, has said that millions of Muslims hold a viewpoint that is “fundamentally incompatible with the modern world.”

In an interview he predicted bigger and more terrifying attacks from ISIL than the ones carried out in Brussels this week, and a need to revisit Iraq and the region to directly confront the Islamic State terrorists on the ground.

Most leaders of the Islamic State/ISIS/ISIL with their defiant extreme ideologies had at some point been guests at one of  the western coalition forces’ notorious prison camps before their sudden rise to fame and notoriety, both for their brutality and military prowess and their unique interpretation of Islam.

The man responsible for the chain of horrific events unfolding in the Middle East that has spread worldwide, now has the audacity to say “many millions” of Muslims living today are incompatible with the modern world. A trail of evidence following his words and actions makes one wonder maybe he held the same view point in the past that led to the suffering and killing of Millions of Muslims in Iraq and the surrounding areas. Tony Blair’s invasion of Iraq was based on lies and poodling along with the US; an act that led to the rise of ISIS and which many term irresponsible, including himself.

The Independent reports:

Rejecting arguments that Isis is simply “tens of thousands of brainwashed crazies,” he continued:  “[Isis] does not seek dialogue but dominance. It cannot therefore be contained. It has to be defeated.”

To mitigate against such attacks, the ex-PM argued for “active on-the-ground military support” for Arab armies, stating that Isis “have to be crushed.”

He also called for the creation of a pan-national anti-terror force, saying: “We must build military capability able to confront and defeat the terrorists wherever they try to hold territory. This is a challenge for the West.”

His comments, made during a Sunday Times interview, come six months after he admitted that the existence of Isis could be blamed on Western intervention in the Arab world during the second Iraq war.

Asked by a CNN interviewer in October 2015 whether he thought the invasion of Iraq was a “principle cause” of the rise of Isis, he said:

“I think there are elements of truth in that… Of course you can’t say that those of us who removed Saddam in 2003 bear no responsibility for the situation in 2015.

“But… it’s not clear to me that even if our policy did not work, subsequent policies have worked better.”

However, Mr Blair’s recent comments display a hawkish approach, provoked by the rise of Isis and what he perceives as the threat of Islamist terror attacks on European soil. He criticised those who believe that “we have caused all of this through Western policy.”

He warned that “increasingly frequent acts of terrorism” could culminate in an attack “of such size and horror” that it would result in “many more victims” than the recent attack on Brussels or 2015 attacks in Paris.

This is despite the fact that the number of European terror attacks and the number of fatalities in terrorist incidents has decreased significantly over the last two decades.

In 2014, a senior Isis commander told the Guardian that the Camp Bucca detention facility operated by the US-led coalition during the Iraq war was directly responsible for the rise of the theocratic state.

“It made it all, it built our ideology,” he said.  “We could never have all got together like this in Baghdad, or anywhere else.”

  1. All religious abominations like the catholic church are incompatible with the modern world. Tony Blair must decommission himself as self appointed spokesman for the blood drinking lineage at large in the Middle East since the fall of Iraq to the devils coalition 13 years ago.
