Apologist Advisers

One of the most interesting things in Tony Blair's speech on foreign policy was his disclosure that government advisers had told him never to use the phrase "Islamic extremism".

Oh yeah, don't forget those militant hindus and buddhists wielding swords and issuing death threats against non believers, we wouldn't want to leave them out.

It was advice he resolutely rejected as he laid out his beliefs that such extremism - and especially its ideas - should be "taken on".

The phrase in the speech Mr Blair would probably like remembered most is: "This is not a clash between civilisations. It is a clash about civilisation."

Now PM Blair just needs to tell the extremists, Islamic in particular (I'm so insensitive aren't I), to love it (UK) or leave it. No point waffling on in speeches and playing with words, the enemy needs to be helped forcibly to make the decision, integrate or leave.
