At least Tony Blair didn’t say the old saw More wars are fought in the name of religion than yada yada. Actually, the headline isnt accurate. Blair actually said religious extremism will be as likely as other reasons to start wars: The battles of this century are less likely to be the product of extreme political ideology, like those of the 20th century – but they could easily be fought around the questions of cultural or religious difference. Blair is also announcing creation of a new forum and database, along with Harvard, to help people understand religion and conflict. I think Madeleine Albright would applaud this. In her book The Mighty and the Almighty, she says that American foreign policy cripples itself by not taking into account the religious facets of other cultures.
