Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair told BBC in an interview that he finds radical Islam to be the greatest threat to the world.  Blair made the comments in an interview about his new novel.  He stated that all actions were justified in the minds of radical extremists.  However, Blair  refused to accept the argument that his administration and policies had an affect on radical Islam. Blair was the Prime Minister at the same time that George W. Bush was President in the United States. In the interview, Blair told the BBC that Iran was a major contributor to radical Islam, and that the country’s newly formed Nuclear Program must be stopped to eliminate possibilities of an attack by radical militants.  “There is the most enormous threat from the combination of this radical extreme movement and the fact that, if they could, they would use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.”

Blair had some positive comments in his interview, mostly dealing with the  peace-talks between Israel and Palestine, and felt that the situation in the region was “optimistic”.

There are many dangers in the world today that threaten America and other countries.  Does radical Islam really pose the greatest threat to the world?
