As opposed to the huge community of Malaysia that nobody outside their neighbourhood could give a flying toss about.

Oh, for ****'s sakes.

I especially love the bit where he says "The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million", as opposed to "The Nazis killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million". Don't go around associating me with the Holocaust, knobjockey.

I didn't bother to read the article (that'd be like stopping in my busy schedule to sniff a dog-turd I pass along the way) But this kind of spewage is extremely dangerous talk. That a primeminister of one of Asias largest economies feels able to mark out an entire community and ecourage others to mark them out too...

I was thinking of that commercial too, when I read it...

In any case, Is he a dickhead? hell yes. Is he alone? nope. You can notice that noone at the conference has criticized. Everyone agreed with his position. Not even President Putin, who babbled a lot about multiculturalism in Russia, said anything to oppose these outrageous words.

They probably kept their mouths shut because the guy is retiring soon and they didn't want to cause an international incident by calling him a ****ing bigoted racist asshat in front of the world's press.

I might be being a little generous to Mr. "Kill-all-the-Chechens" Putin there, though.

Quite correct old bean, it simply isn't cricket to give another fellow a dressing-down and cause a bally-hoo.

I like your optimism. I think that this is the case with Putin and many non-muslim leaders, but I doubt that this is the case with muslim leaders. I think they didn't mind that at all, though I am certain that they don't think that way, themselves.

Yea, and the almost complete lack of democracy in the muslim world (thanks to scum like Mattahir) has nothing to do with the fact that they are the only group in the world which has managed to slide backwards since the end of WW2.

Its a bit of a reality check for you all.

Hitler is widely admired in Asia as a "strong leader". They don't know much about him apart from that.

Israel is widely hated in the Islamic parts of East Asia and this gets worse with each fresh outrage against the Palestinians from Sharon.

Mahathir's remarks are vile but not surprising to me.

His words are frighteningly bone chilling.

What can be done to improve relations between the West and the Islamic world? I ask this because I take what this man says seriously. For the good of all we must work to improve relations and solve the problems of the ME in a fair diplomatic arena.

Dual citizenship is lame. You can't be loyal to more than one country at the same time.

Singapore used to be part of Malasia until the fanatical muslim Maylays tried to in act sharia so the mostly Chinese population of Singapore decided they'd take their marbles and play their own game.

I have a very good malaysian friend in my church, needless to say she's not surprised to see this sort of statement.

Not only are Christians persecuted, so are just about everyone who is not Muslim.

This is vintage Mahatir. He has built a career talking this kind of rubbish. I recall him a couple years ago blaming the Asian economic crisis on a conspiracy of Jews led by George Soros.

I didn't realize he was so close to the end of his rule. Thanks - that news made my day!
