Whilst calling for the eradication of an "evil ideology," Blair blurred the lines between legitimate grievances against Western double standards towards the Muslim World and the crime of killing innocent civilians. As such, Blair is exploiting one injustice to perpetrate another -- a carte blanche to persecute Muslims for their political beliefs. Furthermore, how can Britain, or indeed the West...
