Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who now serves as the Quartet’s envoy in the Middle East, warned on Thursday that religious movements who do not offer real democracy could become the victors of the Arab Spring.
Speaking in an interview on BBC, Blair warned against the “Islamist movement”, notably the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, who he said was “very well organized”, but that it was “not clear that the type of democracy they would create would be a genuine democracy.”
