Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

Tony Blair and a false sense of grievance
Yesterday Tony Blair, in a speech before parliament, Tony Blair put the responsibility for defeating extremism squarely on the shoulders of the British muslim community:

"If we want to defeat the extremism, we have got to defeat its ideas and we have got to address the completely false sense of grievance against the West.
That's right, boys and girls. The best way to end terrorism is to completely deny that there is any legitimacy to the grievances of the Muslim community with the West. If we keep on denying that there's any problem and be real hard nosed about it, they'll come around to seeing things our way. That's what Jesus says, right? Making any attempt to understand what motivates our enemy or worse yet, acknowledging their grievances, shows weakness and that's just what those jihadists are waiting for.

For more on grievance, see my review of Loving without Giving in: Christian Responses to Terrorism and Tyranny. Or the terrorists win.
