Malaysia Prime Minister: “If we want to make Islam less hated, we need to find out what wrong we have done”
“If we want to make Islam less hated, we need to find out what wrong we have done, although we would like to say we have done no wrong.” “Islam teaches its followers not to indulge in violence but ‘we are not following those teachings’, he said.”
Yeah, it’s a real head-scratcher. If anyone has any dislike for or suspicion of Islam, it’s because of Nidal Malik Hasan, Salman Abedi, Syed Rizwan Farook, Tashfeen Malik, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and innumerable other jihad mass murderers and jihad terror masterminds. The entire “Islamophobia” enterprise is a massive bait-and-switch, designed to shift attention away from actual jihad killers, and shift blame for their deeds onto the small group of counterterror analysts and human rights activists who are actually trying to call attention to what they are doing.
“Islam teaches its followers not to indulge in violence…”
“Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5)
“Dr M calls on Muslims to look within themselves for causes of Islamophobia,” by Minderjeet Kaur, FMT News, March 24, 2019:
PETALING JAYA: With Islamophobia still prevalent, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called on Muslims to not only look at the attitudes of their critics but to ask themselves if they could be contributing to such perception.
“Have we done anything to deserve that kind of name?
“If we want to make Islam less hated, we need to find out what wrong we have done, although we would like to say we have done no wrong,” he said in an interview with PTV World in Pakistan.
Mahathir, who was on a three-day official visit to Pakistan from Thursday, said Muslims should try to eliminate their wrongdoing and support their good behaviour with publicity.
“We need people who talk sense and who can tell (others) what Islam is all about,” he said when asked by host Omar Khalid Butt on ways to counter Islamophobia, adding that Islam teaches Muslims not to fight nor to kill each other.
“Islam teaches its followers not to indulge in violence but “we are not following those teachings”, he said.
Mahathir also said Muslims should explain the religion to their audience through the internet.
“Muslims should be able to tell their side of their story so that it is not dominated by only foreign countries that do not like us.”
find out? ummmmmmmmmm...... a dozen centuries of killing people who are not you, hows that?
Go ask Thomas Jefferson about it. He had to deal with the Barbary pirates back in the day. He’ll explain it all. Before the US ever came about, though, the Muslims hated everyone else. So you may have to go back further than Jefferson and the founding fathers.
Yeah, right, didn’t take me long to come up with that!
Just read & understand their Koran, all the violence and hatred is there. And the Sahih Hadieths back-up the Ayats.
Stuff it
LOL - has Islam ever done anything since its manufactured beginning that was not violent and oppressive? It conquers, kills, rapes, destroys other cultures, enslaves, hates, etc, etc.
“Malaysia Prime Minister: “If we want to make Islam less hated, we need to find out what wrong we have done”
You mean you don’t know?!!
Christ Almighty.
Islam has been taken over by organized crime networks. That is the unacknowledged problem.
They are taught to deceive, he’s just following the book of garbage aka the Koran.
He is merely stating what has always been extremely obvious.
Even still, he may want to get his affairs in order.
IOW; Don’t buy any green bananas.
Sounds like he’s caught the western disease of “soul searching” and blaming yourself first asking “why do they hate us”?
Islam has been incredibly successful of late. They’re about to take over Europe and are making great strides in the US. They’ve achieved that success by striking fear in their opponents and by their confidence in their beliefs, not by being wracked by self doubt and self loathing as we are.
If they want to continue winning they need to ignore weak people like this guy and keep plowing ahead with their very successful strategy of invading killing, raping, pillaging and then complaining of a backlash and Islamophobia. It’s worked like a charm!
We could learn a thing or two from them.
Any Muslim who would think that way , IMHO is flat out heretic and an infidel collaborator.
If you cannot abide by the religion you were born into, then get out of it, and not try to change it to your version of what it should be. - Tom
Ask yourself why there are so many ruined towns in the deserts of North Africa, or about the centuries of slaving and conquests.
It isn’t hating Islam. It isn’t fear of Islam.
It’s understanding Islam.
Those who do not understand what Islam is and can only be are those lulled into a stupor by the Left, conditioned to be Useful Idiots for the old Soviet Union and now dancing to the tunes played by the OIC and Muslim Brotherhood.
Cart before horse much?
Just for asking that question he has become an apostate, as deserving of enslavement or death as we Infidels.
Well, they brought us the aqueduct! (oh, wait... they havn't).
And, the Sanitation! (oh, wait... )
Roads! Islam brought us roads! (ooops)
Irrigation... (um, on second thought...)
Medicine... Education... Health... (hmmm... maybe not)
And the wine... (nope)
Public Baths! (well, if filled with blood, then yes!)
Those who speak of chickens coming home to roost never seem to ask what chickens were coming home to roost when the unprovoked armies of Islam swept across North Africa, east to India and Malaysia and when they destroyed the Visigoth empire before they were finally stopped at the Gates of Vienna or by men like Charles Martel?
What had innumerable Africans done that the Mali had enslaved them? What were the misdeeds of Europeans taken to be slaves while commerce was disrupted and whole societies made poor by Muslim pirates?
And the Muslims crow about a paltry few campaigns by Europeans in response to all that aggression? But I bet no Muslim back in the day said it was their chickens coming home to roost!
