Below please find three articles on this particular story. I could not believe the first without checking the credibility of course. It was almost impossible to believe this War Criminal Extraordinaire would really take this tactic, but it seems he has.
Indeed, the lunatics are running the asylum.
Speaking in New York to a thinktank, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, former British Prime Minister Blair has called for a "revolution in thinking" in the fight against Islam, because at the moment, in his opinion, "the Islamists are winning this fight".
In particular, a failure to challenge the narrative that Muslims were oppressed by the west "was fueling extremism around the world" and only weakens those "many Muslims who believe passionately in co-existence and tolerance", The Guardian quoted him as saying.
"We think if we sympathize with the narrative ~ that essentially this extremism has arisen as a result, partly, of our actions ~ we meet it half way, we help the modernizers (Blair calls so "correct", in his vie,w Muslims ~ KC) to be more persuasive. We don't. We indulge it and we weaken them. Worse, a reaction springs up amongst our people that we are pandering to this narrative and they start to resent Muslims as a whole".
Blair noted that he still has not determined how to deal with the "extremist ideology" (Islam ~ KC) ~ whether to enter into direct confrontation with it or try gradually "to manage it and hope, in time, it changes itself".
"On balance, however, I don't believe that it (religion of Islam ~ KC) can be "benignly managed" out of existence. Its roots are too deep, its narrative too pervasive", said Blair, who is one of the main organizers of the international anti-Islamic terror under the banner of imposing democracy on all humanity.
The West is being "outspent, outmaneuvered and out-strategised" by violent Islamic extremism, Tony Blair has warned.
The former prime minister said that there had been a failure to challenge the "narrative" that Islam was oppressed by the West which was fueling extremism around the world.
He said too many people accepted the extremists' analysis that the military actions taken by the West following the 9/11 attacks were directed at countries because they were Muslim and that it supported Israel because Israelis were Jews while Palestinians were Muslims.
"We should wake up to the absurdity of our surprise at the prevalence of this extremism," he said
"Look at the funds it receives. Examine the education systems that succour it. And then measure, over the years, the paucity of our counter-attack in the name of peaceful co-existence. We have been outspent, outmaneuvered and out-strategised."
Speaking in New York to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Mr Blair warned that it was impossible to defeat extremism "without defeating the narrative that nurtures it".
Moderate Muslims who believed in co-existence and tolerance were, he said, being undermined by the unwillingness of the West to take on the extremists' arguments.
"We think if we sympathize with the narrative ~ that essentially this extremism has arisen as a result, partly, of our actions ~ we meet it halfway, we help the modernizers to be more persuasive," he said.
"We don't. We indulge it and we weaken them. Worse, a reaction springs up amongst our people that we are pandering to this narrative and they start to resent Muslims as a whole."

The West is being 'outspent, outmaneuvered and out-strategised' by violent Islamic extremism, Tony Blair has warned.
The former prime minister said that there had been a failure to challenge the 'narrative' that Islam was oppressed by the West which was fueling extremism around the world.
He said too many people accepted the extremists' analysis that the military actions taken by the West following the 9/11 attacks were directed at countries because they were Muslim and that it supported Israel because Israelis were Jews while Palestinians were Muslims.
'We should wake up to the absurdity of our surprise at the prevalence of this extremism', he said
'Look at the funds it receives. Examine the education systems that succour it. And then measure, over the years, the paucity of our counter-attack in the name of peaceful co-existence. We have been outspent, outmaneuvered and out-strategised'.
Speaking last night in New York to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Mr Blair warned that it was impossible to defeat extremism 'without defeating the narrative that nurtures it'.
Moderate Muslims who believed in co-existence and tolerance were, he said, being undermined by the unwillingness of the West to take on the extremists' arguments.
'We think if we sympathise with the narrative ~ that essentially this extremism has arisen as a result, partly, of our actions ~ we meet it halfway, we help the modernizers to be more persuasive', he said.
'We don't. We indulge it and we weaken them. Worse, a reaction springs up amongst our people that we are pandering to this narrative and they start to resent Muslims as a whole'.
Mr Blair's warning comes as the French issued their most extreme warning in recent years about the dangers of visiting Britain, saying a terrorist attack is ‘very likely’.
A dramatic statement on the website of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs adds that visitors need to exercise ‘extreme vigilance’.
Targets: Tourists sit in Trafalgar Square outside the National Gallery
This is especially so in world famous sites like London’s Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, and on the capital’s public transport system.
While Britain and the USA have already warned people to be careful when traveling in Europe, the French advice is by far the most extreme to date.
It invokes the 1990s and early 2000s when Gallic secret agents regularly monitored suspected Islamic radicals in a city referred to by the French as ‘Londonistan’.
The statement was issued after terrorist suspect killed in a drone attack in Pakistan last month was identified as a British man tasked with leading an Al Qaeda group in the UK.
Last week, security agents in France, Britain and Germany warned Al Qaeda terrorists were planning a Mumbai-style atrocity in Europe.
The alert was sparked after Ahmad Sidiqi, an Afghan informant said to have known Mohammed Atta, mastermind of the 9/11 2001 attacks, told US interrogators of the chilling plot.
Sidiqi said Ilyas Kashmiri, an Al Qaeda commander linked to the 2008 attacks in Mumbai in India that left 174 people dead, had told him that teams had already been sent to Europe to launch similar assaults.
The United States and Britain warned their citizens on Sunday of an increased risk of terrorist attacks in Europe, with Washington saying al Qaeda might target transport infrastructure.
Britain raised the terrorism alert level in its advice for travelers to Germany and France to ‘high from ‘general,’ while leaving the threat level at home unchanged at ‘severe’.
Hey Noor,...It's mind-boggling, who buys this shyte?
ReplyDeleteHow do people in the crowd keep a straight face? That institute is a yid front-house for propaganda, so that's no biggy, however, these newspapers must be utterly corrupted by the yids and thoroughly shameless to boot.
I'm gobsmacked again.
