Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts
Saudis buy former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for $12,000,000
In 2016, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that “many millions” of Muslims held a viewpoint that is “fundamentally incompatible with the modern world.” Now the Saudis have reportedly paid Blair’s organization, the Institute for Global Change, $12,000,000 — after sending out a message to the world that it was pursuing modernization.
Despite the millions being given to Blair’s organization for what is actually little more than a public relations gig, this deal is being called “not for profit.” Blair’s website does not even mention the deal. It does, however, praise Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and as Islamization advances in the UK, Blair’s site also states…
Britain should learn from Saudi Arabia and how it has demonstrated a clear commitment to tackling the politicization of Islam to inform policy-making.
Saudi Arabia continues to be a big global promoter of Wahhabi ideology, and remains true to its Salafist origins. As the world celebrated the Saudi edict to allow women to drive, activists said that Saudi Arabia’s delarations about reform and lifting the driving ban were really a “cover” that “whitewashes the jailing of Saudi Arabia’s real reformers.” Indeed, just weeks before the driving ban was lifted, “leading figures” in the Saudi women’s rights movement were rounded up and jailed. Amnesty International called it an “extremely worrying development for [Saudi] women human rights defenders.” The Saudi system treats women as inferiors; women must get the permission of male relatives to make decisions in their lives. Tony Blair has been brought on to sugar-coat the Sharia abuses of Saudi Arabia.
“Tony Blair advises the Saudi government in £9 million deal with his ‘institute for global change,'” by Bridie Pearson-Jones, Daily Mail, July 21, 2018:
Tony Blair is using his ‘institute for global change’ to advise to quietly Saudi government’s modernisation programme in a multi-million pound deal.The former Labour Prime Minister is helping the Saudi Prince under a £9million deal on a ‘not for profit’ basis.The institute was paid £7.6million in January for the work in the Middle East but they have so far received more than £9million ($12million) for the work, the Sunday Telegraph reported.Blair’s website does not mention the deal, but does has article’s praising Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.In an article discussing the Prince’s trip to the UK, the website says: ‘As part of his broad, sweeping and ambitious plans to revolutionize Saudi Arabia, economically, socially and religiously, the Crown Prince has demonstrated a level of conviction, clarity and coherence in identifying and understanding the nature of Islamist extremism that Western policymakers should seek to learn from.‘Britain should learn from Saudi Arabia and how it has demonstrated a clear commitment to tackling the politicization of Islam to inform policymaking, with no moral ambiguity in delineating Islam, the faith, from Islamism, a politicised ideology……
“Vogue slammed for ignoring the real Saudi women driving change”, Alaraby, June 1, 2018:
My comments: Saudi Arabia has BOUGHT influence with many American Officials and also, American Colleges and Universities. So, the spread of the Scourge of islam goes on.Saudi women have taken to social media platforms to slam Vogue Arabia after it featured a glamorous Saudi princess on its cover this month, while the real women “driving change” in the kingdom are being jailed.Princess Hayfa bint Abdullah al-Saud – daughter of late King Abdullah – appears on the cover of June’s edition of the fashion magazine, clad in white, wearing leather gloves and high-heels, perched in the driver’s seat of a car overlooking a desert landscape.It comes as the kingdom prepares to lift a years’ long ban on women driving on 24 June, and the cover story is said to be a tribute to the reform drive launched by Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.Activists said the cover whitewashes the jailing of Saudi Arabia’s real reformers.Saudi women expressed outrage on Twitter by changing the Princess Hayfa Vogue cover with the images of women activists imprisoned during Mohammed bin Salman’s clampdown.Eman al-Nafjan was arrested at the end of May with six other activists known particularly for their work against a driving ban on women in the country.The advocates – who include leading figures in Saudi Arabia’s women’s rights movement such as Lujain al-Hathlol and Aziza al-Yusuf – were arrested on a bizarre list of charges, including “transgressing national and religious principles” and working with “foreign entities”.The detentions comes just weeks before a driving ban on women is set to be lifted.Saudi Arabia has described the activists as “traitors” with Amnesty International condemning the rhetoric as a “chilling smear campaign”…..https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/07/saudis-buy-former-uk-prime-minister-tony-blair-for-12000000
