In "INTERVIEW - No such thing as a moderate Muslim - ex-Malaysian PM," from the Hizballah News Agency, aka Reuters (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist), the Jewish-conspiracymonger Mahathir Mohamad, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, tells us that there's no such thing as a moderate Muslim, because, you see, "we follow the true teachings of the religion and the true teachings do not teach us to bomb and kill people without reason."
Thanks, Mahathir. I feel so much better now. I have responded at greater length here. But I wanted to post Mahathir's remarks separately also, in order to make a few additional observations.
One is that while Mahathir gives with one hand, he takes away with the other. He is suggesting that Islam itself is moderate, but then he says, "the true teachings do not teach us to bomb and kill people without reason." Without reason? So what gives a Muslim good reason to bomb and kill people? Why, Israel, of course -- although Mahathir unsurprisingly doesn't allude to the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood, from which comes Al-Qaeda and Hamas, was founded twenty years before the State of Israel was founded.
Although most of the men who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks were Saudis, Mahathir - whom Israel has in the past dubbed anti-Semitic - said he saw the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands as the root cause of Islamist extremism."They (the hijackers) had no direct link but there is a great deal of sympathy for the sufferings of the people of Palestine," he said.
"Maybe that is because they are co-religionists but it is not because their religion urges them to do so. The West tends to blame religion, they blame Islam for whatever happens and associate Islam with terrorism," he said.
More denial. It is not "the West" that has associated Islam with violence. It is Osama bin Laden, Zawahri, Zarqawi, and all the other jihad terrorists around the world. But of course, shame on us if we notice -- and all too many Western analysts fall for this.
Islam wants to conquer the whole world. All the countries conquered by Islam or to be conquered in the future will be marked for everlasting salvation. For they shall live under Allahs law...Ayatollah Khomeini 1942..............Quotes from Osama bin Laden:
"We should fully understand our religion. Fighting is a part of our religion and our Sharia [an Islamic legal code]. Those who love God and his Prophet and this religion cannot deny that. Whoever denies even a minor tenet of our religion commits the gravest sin in Islam."
Pure Islam
"we follow the true teachings of the religion and the true teachings do not teach us to bomb and kill people without reason."
LOL. Of course not. Mohammad says you need a reason to kill. What's worse, the reasons are myriad.
Muslims are so deluded, they can't see the forest through the trees, he can't see how self-incriminating his defence of his religion was with that one sentence. Pure gold.
My worry is the people of this country will one day try to "see" if giving up israel will stop global jihad. Like gondor in the lord of the rings once israel goes its only a matter of time for the rest of the world to fall into darkness.
Mahatir is right of course. There is no such thing as a "moderate Muslim". There is only a Muslim, or a non-Muslim. And the Muslim is either a devout one or he is not. That's all there is. Thanks for making it so clear. If he is a devout one, he follows the Sunna of Muhammad.
Oh, BTW, I see that spate with Pak-Lah seems to be rising!
I suspect Israel is the reason Thai Buddhist and Indonesian Christian schollgirls are beheaded, right?

Glad you cleared that up............
Damn, I would just hate to be killed without a reason.....................
how sad and vile is this cult and pitiful and vile are its followers the mos.
The Texican.
God, Family, America and Freedom, the only choice at any cost.
"we follow the true teachings of the religion and the true teachings do not teach us to bomb and kill people without reason."
That we exist is reason enough for them.
Mahathir just confirms what the non PC people already knew, that al Muslims are accomplices of the crimes of the jihadis. The only difference among them is the degree of complicity.
Well the Muslims do not need the west to ruin them; they are doing it all by themselves.
There can be no moderate muslims. Because they all believe in the Quran which teaches violence.
Islam can't be changed or moderated. If you changed the Quran then it ceases to be the work of Allah. The words of Mohammad cannot be changed otherwise he would cease to be a 'prophet'. One can not exist without the other.
The 'god' they worship is an evil god, even the god of death.
