Blair Uses Religious Extremism to Promote Directed History?

http://www.thedailybell.com/images/library/extremism150.jpgTony Blair says that religious extremism has become the biggest source of conflict around the world. Tony Blair has reignited debate about the west's response to terrorism with a call on governments to recognise that religious extremism has become the biggest source of conflict in the world. Extremist religion is at root of 21st-century wars, says Tony Blair ... – UK GuardianDominant Social Theme: Islam is a problem.
Free-Market Analysis: On Saturday, Tony Blair – former UK Prime Minister – wrote an extraordinary editorial that appeared in the UK Guardian and argued that religious extremism is the globe's main source of conflict.
In our analysis here we've utilized the text of a follow-up article that appeared in the Guardian. Certainly, it is an editorial that can use commentary. In fact, for meme watchers like ourselves, it lays out in a perfectly transparent way how dominant social themes are created to build what we call directed history.
In this case the globalists who are neck-deep in these manipulations are steadily creating havoc in Northern Africa and the Middle East. But you can actually trace this manipulation back to 9/11, when Muslim extremists, trained in a high-tech cave (that has never been found) supposedly blew up the World Trade Towers in lower Manhattan.



The meme (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/654/) was then expanded when President George Bush attacked Iraq and Afghanistan. It was buttressed when the UN (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1848/) and Foggy Bottom got together with France to attack The Ivory Coast. A Muslim regime resulted.
In short order, Foggy Bottom produced "color revolutions (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1813/)" supported by a carefully trained youth movement that took down first Tunisia, then Egypt, then Libya and is now targeting Syria.
In EACH case, these "revolutions" surely assisted by the CIA (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/2401/), MI6, etc., removed a sitting SECULAR government and substituted a theocracy of sorts, including elements of the CIA-controlled Muslim Brotherhood (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1835/).
Let's not forget the spreading blight of fundamental Wahhabism (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1818/), which is amply funded by Saudi Arabia – in turn supported by the US.
Of course, there is Iran. There is plenty of reason to be suspicious of Iran and its current theocracy. Khomeini, stashed in France, supposedly grumbled all the way back home in the late 1970s. He didn't like Iranians and didn't want to return. Perhaps he wanted to go to England; in fact, several reports have claimed that his father was MI6.
Looking at the sad (admittedly speculative) reality of the above, one must be struck by the energy with which the West has attempted to place Islamic-based governments throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa.
Tony Blair, of course, recognizes none of this. Yet it must be common knowledge in Blair's rarified circles that the West is committed to the further polarization of East and West through religious divisiveness.
Here's more from the article:
Referring to wars and violent confrontations from Syria to Nigeria and the Philippines, Blair, writing in the Observer, argues that "there is one thing self-evidently in common: the acts of terrorism are perpetrated by people motivated by an abuse of religion. It is a perversion of faith."
Identifying religious extremism as an ever more dangerous phenomenon, the spread of which is easier in an online age, he says: "The battles of this century are less likely to be the product of extreme political ideology, like those of the 20th century – but they could easily be fought around the questions of cultural or religious difference."
The former prime minister, who led the country into the Iraq conflict in 2003, appears to acknowledge that previous aspirations to export liberal democracy (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1862/) focused too much on political objectives. But sources close to Blair insist that he is not in any way indulging in a mea culpa over past interventions by the west, including in Iraq.
In the future, he writes, "the purpose should be to change the policy of governments; to start to treat this issue of religious extremism as an issue that is about religion as well as politics, to go to the roots of where a false view of religion is being promulgated and to make it a major item on the agenda of world leaders to combine effectively to combat it. This is a struggle that is only just beginning."
The promotion of religious tolerance, both within and between countries, states Blair, will be key to fostering peaceful outcomes around the world in the 21st century. He uses his article to announce the creation a new online forum and database run by his Faith Foundation in collaboration with the Harvard Divinity School, which he hopes will become the world's leading source of information and debate about religion and conflict.
We can see in the last graf of this excerpt that Blair is beginning a new online forum that will be supported by his own "Faith Foundation" and also the Harvard Divinity School.
This is not the only religious activism we've noticed recently. The new Pope of Holy Rome is increasingly active within the context of what we would usually identify as dominant social themes (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/652/). Supposedly, he is soon to come out with an encyclical that will deal with the overwhelming problem of, wait for it ... global warming (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1919/).
We can see the rough outlines of further memes emerging. As these religious "troubles" escalate, Western dignitaries like Blair will offer to moderate such problems. Of course, no one will bother to mention that Western facilities and Intel operations created the faith-based instability in the first place.


Conclusion Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Each synthesis creates further globalism.

WahhabismWahhabism is a controversial religious movement created by 18th century Muslim theologian Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab in Saudi Arabia. It has spread throughout the Middle East because of massive Saudi proselytization – some US$80 billion has been expended, aimed at setting up Wahhabi mosques, madrassas (religious schools) and social programs.
It is a kind of fundamentalist creed which advocates sharia (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1819/) – religious law code – and seeks to combat moral and political decline throughout Islam. It also condemns idolatry, including tomb visitation and puts forth the view that those who do not subscribe to it are in a sense not true Muslims, which in turn provides justification to short-circuit the Quranic edict to not oppose other Muslims.
Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab lived in Diriyah under Muhammad ibn Saud in 1740 (1157 AH) and apparently a deal was put in place between these two whereby the Sauds would adopt Wahhab's teachings but they would control the movement's political leadership.
In the early 20th century, the militaristic Sauds founded the modern-day Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Vast quantities of oil and control of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina made Wahhabism and the Sauds a force to be reckoned with. The Sauds implemented Wahhabist tenets. The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, a kind of religious police, enforces Wahhabist precepts. In simplest terms, Wahhabism has two prongs; the believer affirms that God is the single source of worship and, having concluded this, worships only Him. The Koran is considered the single authoritative text.
Wahhabism disallows other scholarly interpretations, arguing the Koranic text reveals all. In 1801 and 1802, the Saudi Wahhabis under Abdul Aziz ibn Muhammad ibn Saud sacked holy Shia (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1842/) cities and leveled the tombs of Husayn ibn Ali (grandson of Muhammad) and the son-in-law of Muhammad. When the Sauds took over Mecca and Medina, they leveled more monuments and shrines. This also explains why the Wahhabist Taliban blew up the vast cliffside Buddhas in Afghanistan during their reign.
It continues to be a militant religion, advocating opposition to infidels "in every way." Literature found in the US states: "Hate them for their religion ... for Allah's sake." However, such sentiments are denied by the Saudi government. The Saudis claim, "[It has] worked diligently during the last five years to overhaul its education system [o]verhauling an educational system is a massive undertaking."
Despite its ubiquity, there are those who claim that Wahhabism is not the preferred text of terrorists like the late Osama bin Laden who are more ideologically attuned to Sayyid Qutb. Qutb was an Egyptian Islamist active in the 1950s and 1960s and an influential member of the [B]Muslim Brotherhood (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1835/). He was eventually executed as a result of his religious and political activities with the Brotherhood.
While Qutb's perspectives on Islam are his own, they seem to parallel some Wahhabist tenets closely. Also, the Saudis were responsible for much of the funding of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, so it seems fair to say that Qutb's somewhat xenophobic views about the West are an outgrowth of greater Wahhabism. This is generally true about the fundamentalist wave that has washed over Islam in the past century.
It is a wave that has not yete crested and while it would appear to be a homegrown Saudi movement in large part, the reality of Saudi Arabia's involvement with the West, specifically the Anglosphere (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/956/), cannot be discounted. Without the backing of the Anglo-American power elite (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/610/) it is doubtful that Saudi Arabia would exist today in its current form with its current wealth. The Saud clan itself in the modern era is as much an outgrowth of Western power as it is an expression of Islamic potency.
If the West did not want Saudi Arabia proselytizing Wahhabism, it is highly doubtful that the Sauds would have been able to spend US$80 billion spreading this fundamentalist perspective. Logically, the power elite is not displeased with the spread of Wahhabism. The threat of fundamentalist Islam (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/2407/) has yielded the justification for great authoritarianism (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/2606/) in the West. Domestic crackdowns on human rights throughout the West are justified based on the threat of militant Islam – courtesy of the flourishing dogma of Saudi-fomented Wahhabism.
There is a synergy between the West's deteriorating freedoms and the Sauds' relentless promotion of Wahhabism. It is one of the most disturbing parts of the growth of fundamentalist Islam in the Middle East and Africa – a sordid tale not just of extremism but of Western encouragement of certain traits within the Islamic belief structure that are sure to disturb Western psyches. The elite is actively creating a fundamentalist threat, much as it helped fund facism and communism (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1900/) in the 20th century. This seems indisputable, though it is not reported at all within the mainstream media (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1861/).
