Tony Blair wants to unite the faiths. Go, Tone, go! You eminently slappable berk.

“If you got churches and mosques and those of the Jewish faith working together to provide the bed nets that are necessary to eliminate malaria, what a fantastic thing that would be,” he said.

“That would show faith in action, it would show the importance of cooperation between faiths, and it would show what faith can do for progress.”

It would indeed be fantastic. Mind you, faith isn’t actually a requirement in this scenario, is it? Not sure it really would be ‘faith in action’. Just, like, kindness, decency, that sort of thing. Not so much ‘look what faith can do’ as ‘look what people can do when they aren’t being arseholes’.
