Correction

Yesterday I posted a quote I took from Samizdata blog site. I have since tried to get a second source for the quote and failed. My apologies to Tony Blair for publishing an untruth, so I now have published his full speech taken from the official No 10 site. It is still a weasel mouthed speech, but not as bad as what I had posted previously.


I am glad that our 15 service personnel have been released. I know their release will come as a profound relief, not just to them but to their families that have endured such distress and anxiety over these past 12 days.
Throughout we have taken a measured approach, firm but calm, not negotiating, but not confronting either. I would like to thank our allies in Europe, our allies in the United Nations Security Council, for their support and also our friends and allies in the region who played their part. We are grateful to all of them as we are to the officials in the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defence and here in Downing Street for the work that they have done.
And to the Iranian people I would simply say this, we bear you no ill will. On the contrary, we respect Iran as an ancient civilisation, as a nation with a proud and dignified history and the disagreements that we have with your government we wish to resolve peacefully, through dialogue. I hope, as I have always hoped, that in the future we are able to do so.
That is all that I have got to say for this evening. Thank you very much indeed.

The highlights are mine.

15 Royal Marines and Sailors released

"......all that remains for me to do is join in with the rest of the nation in offering up our prayers and thanks to merciful Allah and his last prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. Thank you."

- British Prime Minister Tony Blair

This astounding subjugation signals the end of the beginning of the surrender by the democratic West to Islam.

The Christian Victims in Iraq

Holy Week is a time when Christians think of the crucifixion of Jesus. This year, they should also be meditating on another crucifixion: that of a 14-year-old boy, nailed to a cross by Islamists in Basra, Iraq, last October.

This diabolical crime was part of a campaign by jihadists to extinguish one of the most ancient Christian Churches in the world, that of the Assyrians, part of the Syrian Orthdox Church.

Since the invasion of Iraq, Muslim militants have bombed 28 churches and murdered hundreds of Christians. Last October Islamists beheaded a priest in Mosul as well in revenge for the Pope’s remarks about Islam at Regensburg.

Is there no end to the depravity of these foul Islamists?
