\"TonyBlair\"<\/a>Tony Blair has warned Western leaders<\/a><\/strong> they must put aside their differences with Russia over Ukraine to focus on the threat of Islamic extremism – and work with both Russia and China.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a speech at Bloomberg in London the former UK prime minister – now a Middle East envoy –said powerful nations must “take sides”<\/a>\u00a0and back “open-minded” groups.<\/p>\n

Mr Blair\u00a0repeated his claim that Islam is a peaceful religion which has been hijacked by extremists, but it is encouraging that he has recognised the threat posed by militant Islam, even though a globalist agenda may be behind what he had to say.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Mr Blair called on Western leaders to “elevate the issue of religious extremism to the top of the agenda”.<\/p>\n

And they must co-operate with other countries – “in particular, Russia and China” – regardless of “other differences”.<\/p>\n

He argued the threat posed by a radical view which “distorts and warps Islam’s true message” was “spreading across the world”.<\/p>\n

“The Muslim population in Europe is now over 40m and growing. The Muslim Brotherhood and other organisations are increasingly active and they operate without much investigation or constraint. Recent controversy over schools in Birmingham (and similar allegations in France) show heightened levels of concern about Islamist penetration of our own societies.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Tellingly, as one who has participated in meetings of the globalist Bilderberg Group, the alleged benefits of globalisation were not far from Mr Blair’s thoughts: \u00a0“It (militant Islam) is destabilising communities and even nations. It is undermining the possibility of peaceful co-existence in an era of globalisation.”<\/p>\n

Curiously, Mr Blair told the BBC ahead of the speech the West would pay a “very heavy price” for not intervening in Syria and that\u00a0the opportunity to create “an optimistic solution” had been missed. \u00a0Because Britain, the EU and the United States supported the rebels<\/a><\/strong> rather than President Assad, who they viewed as a Russian ally, Al-Qaeda and other Muslim militant groups have been able to siphon off that aid and now form the military opposition. \u00a0The moderate opposition in Syria which Mr Blair had such faith in has been crushed by the very Islamic militants he is now warning against.<\/p>\n

On Easter Sunday Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited an ancient Christian town<\/a><\/strong> recaptured from rebels last week, state media said, as he seeks to persuade minorities that the government is their best protection against hardline Islamists.<\/p>\n

Islamist fighters, including some from the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, had taken over part of Maaloula in December and held several nuns captive until releasing them in March in a prisoner-exchange deal.<\/p>\n

President Assad, a member of the minority Alawite sect, protected Syrian Christians and the Syrian Coptic Church. \u00a0The militants which Britain has funded have persecuted them. \u00a0Over Easter, David Cameron said his government would support persecuted Christians.<\/p>\n

President Obama is currently touring the Far East<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0He will visit Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines – but not China.<\/span><\/p>\n
