KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (AP) - (Kyodo)—Muslim countries are inadvertently helping the United States kill fellow Muslims in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan by trading and investing in the U.S. dollars, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said Tuesday. The 82-year-old, who is well-known as a strident U.S. critic, is championing the return to the gold standard through the use of a gold dinar instead of the U.S. dollar, which he said is actually "worth nothing."
"Today, the Muslims are richer than they had ever been before, that is, in terms of their earnings of U.S. dollar. But they have not learnt to use the banking system or their money to their advantage. They merely keep their dollars in foreign countries, particularly in the United States. By doing so, they are in fact allowing themselves to be held hostage to these countries," he said in his speech at an international conference on the gold dinar.
"These same dollars are being used by the U.S. to finance the production of weapons to kill Muslims, to kill Palestinians, Iraqis and Afghans. The higher the price of oil, the more money would be placed at the disposal of the U.S. and, by extension, Israel," he said.
"There is no such thing as the oil weapon. The real weapons are the petrodollars. The more the petrodollars are kept with the oppressors of Muslims, the more powerful will they be, the greater and more widespread will be the oppression. (The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) is today as much a Western institution as the (International Monetary Fund) or World Bank," Mahathir said, "Perhaps the ulamas (Muslim scholars) should make a fatwa about Muslims who finance the killing of fellow Muslims."

“Muslim countries are inadvertently helping the United States kill fellow Muslims”
Well, I didn’t think I’d have reason to say this, but good for the muslime countries! Course they’re doing it because it’s economically convenient, but still...
What this silly old fool doesn’t realize is that there isn’t enough gold to go around, so his plan would drive up the cost of gold so high thugs would knock the old bugger off to steal his gold fillings, which would be worth about 10,000. usd each
And since nobody in the Islamic world other than the mullah mafia has any money to trade and buy gold, 99.99% of Muslim peasants would be even worse off than they are now under the Mullah mafia, the average yearly wages in Iran being about $1,100. because the mullah steal all the wealth of the land and use it to buy Russian tanks and Chinese ak47 (Kalashnikov) knock offs.
Again, the old fool's gears are really slipping. For a guy who wants to establish Sharia law everywhere, He'd be the first getting his head chopped off for breaking it. It's against sharia law for a muslim to earn interest on money, or even do any banking that pays interest or charges interest. Of course even the most devout Mullah ignore this Sharia law, law of the prophet, of Allahien command.
shame on them

That means that if you could somehow gather every scrap of gold that man has ever mined into one place, you could only build about one-third of the Washington Monument.
