Mahathir retires with fresh attack on Jews

By Phil Reeves, Asia Correspondent
31 October 2003

The Prime Minister of Malaysia compared Israel's treatment of the Palestinians with the Holocaust and accused the United States of forcing slaves to convert to Christianity in his final hours in office yesterday.

Mahathir Mohammad, 77, who retires today after 22 years, brought prosperity to his nation. But this had already been overshadowed by an outcry over his pronouncement that "Jews rule the world by proxy" by getting "others to fight and die for them".

He reignited the row yesterday by saying: "Jews must never claim they are the chosen people, who cannot be criticised. The Muslims have never ill-treated the Jews but now they are behaving exactly in the way the Europeans behaved toward them against the Muslims."

Seems to me that Islamic fascism (the "religion of peace") has replaced Soviet communism as the focus of evil in our world.

The thing about declaring a war on Islam, is all the PC nonsense. This guy can say all he wants about Jews, but when Gen Boykin says something similar about muslim, we gets hammered. Again, Islam sucks..

What the hell is Mahathir babbling about here, anyway?

I wouldn't think it'd be hard at all to convince a Muslim slave that Christianity is better than the moon god death cult.

The subhuman ass sniffing moozlim scumbags are a clear and present danger to the existence of mankind on this planet.

When they get easy acess to WMD, they will hold the entire civilized world hostage.

There is still time to eliminate the threat.

The Democrats are AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY.

I take it this degenerate freak thinks he can produce 6 million dead Palestinians to back up this claim?

What people fail to realize is that Mahathir is one of the "moderate" muslims the media talks about.
