Jews rule the world, getting others to fight and die for them, but will not be able to defeat the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has told a major Islamic summit.

"The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them," Mahathir said, adding, "1.3 billion Muslims cannot be defeated by a few million Jews."

The veteran Malaysian premier, who has become notorious for his controversial speeches during his 22 years as leader of this moderate Muslim country, was addressing the opening session of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) summit.

He told the biggest gathering of Muslim leaders since the 2001 attacks on the United States that all Muslims were suffering "oppression and humiliation", with their religion accused of promoting terrorism.

Acknowledging weakness and division in the organisation's ranks, Mahathir said they could at least take a common stand on the Palestinian struggle against Israel and it was time to plan a "counter-attack" against the enemies of Islam who treated Muslims with "contempt and dishonour".

He called on Muslims to emulate the Jewish response to oppression, saying the Jews had "survived 2000 years of pogroms not by hitting back, but by thinking".

"They invented and successfully promoted socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so they may enjoy equal rights with others.

"With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power.

"We cannot fight them through brawn alone, we must use our brains also," he said.

"Of late because of their power and their apparent success they have become arrogant. And arrogant people like angry people will make mistakes, will forget to think.

"They are already beginning to make mistakes. And they will make more mistakes. There may be windows of opportunity for us now and in the future. We must seize these opportunities."

Mahathir, however, who has in the past condemned Palestinian suicide bombers as "terrorists", appeared to suggest that it was time for an end to violence against the Israelis.

"Over the past 50 years of fighting in Palestine we have not achieved any result. We have in fact worsened our situation."

He said the Koran "tells us that when the enemy sues for peace we must react positively. True the treaty offered is not favourable to us. But we can negotiate".

He said he was aware that this proposal could not be popular and its opponents "would want to send more young men and women to make the supreme sacrifice. But where will all these lead to? Certainly not victory."

However, he did call on Muslims to match their studies of religion with attention to science and mathematics because "we need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and warships for our defence".

This was apparently a reference to what he sees as a broader assault on Muslims by the Western world in the guise of the war on terrorism. He said enemies of Islam "attack and kill us, invade our lands, bring down our governments".

Among the more than 30 Muslim leaders present for the summit are Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia and Megawati Sukarnoputri, the president of the world's largest Muslim country Indonesia.

From allnight long

I just learned this afternoon about a speech that Prime Minister Mahathir of Malaysia made on the occasion of the opening of the Islamic Summit in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, reported in the newspaper The Star. Suggest that you check the website under www.thestar.com.my It is in the Oct. 16 edition at Star online.

A synopsis is found below in my message as it was sent to me. But one must read the actual speech in order too understand exactly how dangerous are the words of Mahathir and the vileness of his anti-Christian but especially his anti-Semitic remarks. Below are excerpts from the actual text as reported in the KL newspaper.

Examples

"The Muslims will forever be aggressed and dominated by the Europeans ( Read: 'Christians' in my opinion ) and Jews."

"The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million yet today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get the others to fight and die for them. They invented and successfully promoted Socialism, Communism and democracy so that persecuting them appears to be wrong."

"It cannot be that there is no other way (as opposed to lashing out in anger which he decries) 1.3 billion people cannot be defeated by a few millions Jews. There must be a way."

Mahathir then goes on to urge the Islamic people "to think, to assess our weaknesses and our strength to plan to strategise and then to counter attack."

"The Europeans could do what they liked with Muslim terrirtories. It is not surprising that they should excise Muslim land to create the state of Israel to solve their Jewish Problem. Divided, the Muslims could do nothing effective to stop the Balfour and Zionist transgression."

I suggest that you check the web site and read the whole text of the speech. I also suggest that BBC should issue a press release critizing the anti -semitic remarks of the Prime Minister ( who is stepping down at the end of the month and requesting that our FM ( who happens to be in Asia at the moment) call the Prime Minister Mahathir to task for his inflammatory speech. We should be careful to aim our criticism at the Prime Minister directly and not at Malaysia or Malaysians, many of whom are appalled by the PM's remarks. You may remember this is the same person who banned the movie 'Schindler's List' from Malaysia.
