Muslim Barrister Claims Blair Influenced By Jews And Freemasons

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Bad Decisions, Foreign Policy, The World, War

After reading the following story, I’m having a hard time figuring out how this guy actually got access to the Prime Minister.

And yet…

From the Telegraph:

Tony Blair decided to wage war on Iraq after coming under the influence of a “sinister” group of Jews and Freemasons, a Muslim barrister who advises the Prime Minister has claimed.

Ahmad Thomson, from the Association of Muslim Lawyers, said Mr Blair was the latest in a long line of politicians to have been influenced by the group which saw the attack on Saddam Hussein as a way to control the Middle East.

I’m assuming that Thomson has advised Blair recently, and yet the paper trail on him clearly shows that he should be advising nobody.

Mr Thomson wrote a book in 1994 in which he said Freemasons and Jews controlled the governments of Europe and America and described the claim that six million Jews died in the Holocaust as a “big lie”. In The Next World Order, Mr Thomson, a Muslim convert who was born Martin Thomson in Rhodesia, wrote: “When the majority of people in a predominantly Christian society cease to worship God, the result is fascism.

“When the people in a predominantly Jewish society cease to worship God, the result is either communism or capitalism. A predominantly Christian society is concerned primarily with establishing a political ideology, whilst a predominantly Jewish society is concerned primarily with establishing an economic system.”

This, he suggested, led to the rise of Adolf Hitler. Mr Thomson, who was called to the bar in 1979, wrote: “The fascism of Hitler was the Christian element in the increasingly “Jewish” environment in which he and his followers found themselves.”

He also wrote that the Jews have no right to live in “the Holy Land” because they are not a pure race and therefore not the true biblical Israelites and that Saddam was used as an excuse for US troops – “including thousands of Jews” – to occupy Saudi Arabia.

The government’s response?

A Government source said: “It is by talking to people with varying views that we find out what the range of opinions is. It doesn’t mean we agree with what they are saying.”

One would think that they could discern between a range of reasonable opinions and a range of bigoted conspiracy theories.

Pretty disappointing stuff to say the least.

    This, he suggested, led to the rise of Adolf Hitler. Mr Thomson, who was called to the bar in 1979, wrote: “The fascism of Hitler was the Christian element in the increasingly “Jewish� environment in which he and his followers found themselves.�

    He also wrote that the Jews have no right to live in “the Holy Landâ€Â? because they are not a pure race and therefore not the true biblical Israelites and that Saddam was used as an excuse for US troops – “including thousands of Jewsâ€Â? – to occupy Saudi Arabia.

    He gives a reason for Hitler’s fascism then espouses Hitler’s view (the pure race reasoning). Clearly a reasonable Muslim. And sadly, a misinformed one. Did Mohammed not say that Jews and Christians were “of the book” and to be treated as Muslims?

    Great points. And this is why these views are so tragic. Because they support the very things they are trying to condemn.

    But again, exactly how did this guy get the government’s ear? And how has he stayed clean with any ethic’s committee of the law associations over there? To that point, I wonder if this guy would be disbarred for those comments in this country?

    I can’t discover whether this long-standing nutcase also is involved in this, too, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

    ADVISERS appointed by Tony Blair after the London bombings are proposing to scrap the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day because it is regarded as offensive to Muslims.
    They want to replace it with a Genocide Day that would recognise the mass murder of Muslims in Palestine, Chechnya and Bosnia as well as people of other faiths.

    The draft proposals have been prepared by committees appointed by Blair to tackle extremism. He has promised to respond to the plans, but the threat to the Holocaust Day has provoked a fierce backlash from the Jewish community.

    Holocaust Day was established by Blair in 2001 after a sustained campaign by Jewish leaders to create a lasting memorial to the 6m victims of Hitler. It is marked each year on January 27.

    The Queen is patron of the charity that organises the event and the Home Office pays £500,000 a year to fund it. The committees argue that the special status of Holocaust Memorial Day fuels extremists’ sense of alienation because it “excludes� Muslims.

    A member of one of the committees, made up of Muslims, said it gave the impression that “western lives have more value than non-western lives�. That perception needed to be changed. “One way of doing that is if the government were to sponsor a national Genocide Memorial Day.

    I’ve finally found something Bush does better than Blair. When it comes to putting the wrong men in the wrong jobs, the Prime Minister has got a magic touch.
