WASHINGTON Former prime minister Tony Blair warned on Sunday that the roots of radical Islam were far deeper than we think and said Al-Qaeda would have killed 300,000 on September 11, 2001 if they could.
"This is actually more like the phenomenon of revolutionary communism," Blair said in an interview with ABC News, commenting on the reach of Islamic extremism.
"It's the religious or cultural equivalent of it, and its roots are deep, its tentacles are long, and its narrative about Islam stretches far further than we think into even parts of mainstream opinion who abhor the extremism, but sort of buy some of the rhetoric that goes with it," he added.
Blair said he didn't understand fully the phenomenon at the time of 9/11, when Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked planes and crashed two of them into the World Trade Center in New York, killing about 3,000 people.
"If these people could have killed 30,000 or 300,000, they would have," Blair warned.

The whole point of building a mosque near Ground Zero.
An honest analysis from the former Prime Minister of The United Kingdom.
“Former prime minister Tony Blair warned on Sunday that the roots of radical Islam were far deeper than we think and said Al-Qaeda would have killed 300,000 on September 11, 2001 if they could.”
Only God’s hands on those buildings kept us from losing at least 25,000. That was the murderous plan, to hit them at the perfect hour on the busiest day, with the most people in the towers. It was a miracle we lost 3,000.
Just 2 years ago Blair was ready to take on Israel on behalf of the “Quartet” and silent on Bush. Now he embraces Bush and calls him a brilliant man, and is taking a strong principled stand on Islam. What happened?
“If these people could have killed 30,000 or 300,000, they would have,” Blair warned.”
If the towers had come down right away then then would have killed close to 30K. We got lucky because the buildings were well designed.
I wonder how Obama will celebrate the anniversary. Play golf?
And still the ‘conspiracy’ people persist.
I get so sick and tired of them. Idiots.
Buy his girls an ice cream.
I agree Tony, so why did you open your country’s doors and let them come flooding in?
Now that Iran can manufacture their own nukes, it is now entirely possible, and likely!
And Tony was the biggest cheerleader for the Islamo-terrorist KLA during the Kosovo fiasco.
No Shiite, SHERLOCK!!
He's right, we need more additional thinking on this.
Bang on!
Islam has reached right into the White House, but not into the heart of America!
“If these people could have killed 30,000 or 300,000, they would have,” Blair warned.

Truer words were never spoken. Radical islamic muslims need to be irradicated, along with their outspoken supporters before they kill us first. Oh hell, I think we’re all doomed. There will never be peace on this earth.
For the UNknowing, the UNaware and the wary,
When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.
Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a religion, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is its own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.
This is not just a religion, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and its goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.
When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.
The sooner America learns this , the better. Some know and many do not, but it is a threat to everything America knows.
Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day. It did not pass.
