Former Malaysian Prime Minister: Arabs not smart enough to have conducted 9-11 attacks

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is not only a shameless and well-known anti-Semite, jihadist enabler, and apologist slash propagandist extraordinaire for Islam. He's also an unrepentant racist to boot. Among his more stunning recent 'insights' is the conviction that Arabs are apparently too stupid to be able to pull off acts of mass murder like the 9-11 attacks. Only smart folks like the ones at the Mossad, CIA, NSA, or PTA would be gifted enough to conspire at the requisite level, according to the well-educated and ever-popular 'Doctor M.' Of course, there's barely a shred of evidence for any of this, even in the Malaysian media. But anyone who might have the temerity to need actual evidence to support Dr. M's preposterous charges must clearly be a harmony-destroying Islamophobe.

Imagine the uproar that would instantly ensue from groups like the NAACP et al had any politician of note in the West dared to utter accusations even remotely similar to Mahathir's daily dreck. Of course, as Mahathir is a Muslim and a supposedly 'moderate' one at that, he will no doubt earn a pass and a blind eye from the West. Meanwhile, millions of Muslims both here in Malaysia and beyond will continue to fervently believe, and believe in, him. From "Dr. M: Arabs incapable of conducting 9/11 attacks", by Michelle Chun, The Sun Daily, 19 November 2012:

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 19, 2012): Arabs lack the discipline and organisational skills needed to plan and carry out detailed attacks such as the Sept 11 tragedy, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.

Questioning the authenticity of the official story on the tragedy which shook the world, Mahathir said the "9/11" attacks involved "very complex elements which needed detailed planning, precise timings and disciplined execution" that he feels Arabs lack.

"I can imagine trained operatives like those in the Central Intelligence Agency (USA) or Mossad (Israel) planning and executing this complex operation, but I cannot imagine an Arab like Osama bin Laden planning and directing this sophisticated aerial attacks from some remote place in Afghanistan," he said.

Mahathir was speaking at the one-day International Conference on "9/11 Revisited: Seeking the Truth" organised by the Perdana Global Peace Foundation.

"The official explanation for the destruction of the World Trade Centre twin towers is still about an attack by suicidal Muslim extremists.

"But even among Americans this explanation is beginning to wear thin and being questioned," he said.

Among experts and academics seeking the 'real story' behind the tragedy is architect Richard Gage, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

"To date, there are 1,500 architects and engineers who believe there is direct evidence of explosive destruction used in controlled demolition of buildings, as they collapsed within seconds.

"Molten steel also indicates extremely high temperatures which could not have been caused by fire or jet fuel from the planes," Gage said.

Economist Prof Michel Chossudovsky said 9/11 has always been the pretext and trigger for the United States-led "global war on terror and subsequent declarations of war on several countries".

"People never questioned this because they were so emotionally affected by the massive loss of life that day," he said.

Chossudovsky said this was not about a war between religions, but rather one of economic conquest.

"Around 65% to 70% of global oil and gas reserves are located in Islamic countries.

"9/11 was the pretext used for the demonisation of Muslims and creation of Islamophobia, and subsequently the declarations of war on Afghanistan and Iraq," he said.

One has to wonder how much of the Quran or other Islamic scripture that useful idiots like Messrs Gage and Chossudovsky have actually read.

Get CNN to rebroadcast the gloating, dancing Palestinian Arabs I saw on the evening of September 11th, 2001.

Pretext my ass.

A few thoughts:
1] "molten steel" -- controlled demolitions don't produce the kind of heat needed to melt steel, either.
2] controlled demolitions don't produce any fire at all, so where did the fireballs in both buildings come from? Admittedly, in controlled demolitions are normally of empty buildings, with the utilities turned off; the Twin Towers were occupied with utilities on, and full of flammable material, so perhaps a fire could be expected, but nothing like the fireballs that occurred.
3] as for Arab intellect; well, 99% of them believe in Islam and the Koran -- that says a lot about the level of their mentality.

A logical syllogism:

Arabs are not smart
Muhammad was an Arab
Therefore, Muhammad was not smart

Muhammad was the perfect man
Therefore, perfect men are not smart

Insulting Muhammad is a crime under Sharia punishable by death
Mahathir Mohamad has either insulted Muhammed, or he has not
If Mahathir Mohamad HAS insulted Muhammed, he may be punished with death
If Mahathir Mohamad HAS NOT insulted Muhammed, then anyone who says Muhammed was not smart may not be punished with death

QED It is evident there is a great deal of illogic in the Islamic world

Former Malaysian Prime Minister: Arabs not smart enough to have conducted 9-11 attacks

Actually, we've all heard the exact same thing from Arab Muslims themselves.

And why? Because via the miracle of cognitive dissonance, Muslims can both consider 9/11 to be a great Islamic victory *and* a "false flag" operation pulle3d off by the perfidious Infidels of Mossad and the CIA to "make Muslims look bad" and spread "Islamophobia".

As I have noted many times, while 9/11 was uniquely horrific in its scope and carnage, it was in many ways a completely mainstream Jihad attack. Certainly, Muslims had many times before hijacked airplanes, gone after the most iconic targets they could find, and used suicide mission to murder Infidel civilians.

If Muslims were incapable of pulling off 9/11, were they also incapable of pulling off the Madrid Train bombings, 7/7, the attacks on Mumbai, Beslan, and every suicide bombing in Israel and Dar-al-Islam?

Ludicrously, some Muslims apologists would suggest just that. But with almost 20,000 violent Jihad attacks worldwide just since 9/11, it is a severe understatement to say that this strains credulity. Mossad, the CIA, and MI6 must be very busy indeed...sarc/off

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 19, 2012): Arabs lack the discipline and organisational skills needed to plan and carry out detailed attacks such as the Sept 11 tragedy, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.
...............................

People also consistently overstate the "sophistication" of the attack.

Crudely put, it is easy to *break sh*t*. It is, in general, much easier to destroy than to create. Muslims who *never* in a million years would have been capable of erecting the World Trade Center Towers or building an airplane were able to bring them down.

9/11 also owed a great deal of its ugly "success" to the fact that Westerners were conditioned at the time to believe that such hijackings were likely survivable as long as airplane staff and passengers cooperated with the terrorists.

Even on 9/11 itself, this changed abruptly once the passengers of United 93 learned the fate of the other hijacked planes, and *fought back*. While they were, tragically, unable to save their own lives from the homicidal hijackers, they bravely ensured that the Jihad terrorists were not able to use the plane as a weapon against another target—likely the Capitol building, or possibly the White House, in this case.

And passengers and crew on every plane since—the shoe bomber, the panty bomber—have fought back immediately against any Jihad terrorist. They were able to foil these last two, *and* survive.

Questioning the authenticity of the official story on the tragedy which shook the world, Mahathir said the "9/11" attacks involved "very complex elements which needed detailed planning, precise timings and disciplined execution" that he feels Arabs lack.

"I can imagine trained operatives like those in the Central Intelligence Agency (USA) or Mossad (Israel) planning and executing this complex operation, but I cannot imagine an Arab like Osama bin Laden planning and directing this sophisticated aerial attacks from some remote place in Afghanistan," he said.
...............................

Never mind that Osama bin Laden was an engineer educated in the West who came from a family in the construction business in Saudi Arabia. The frequent characterization of him as an unsophisticated cave-dwelling Afghan tribesman is utter bullsh*t.

And this is a double calumny against Israel and the United States—that they would not only go to any lengths, for some reason, to "make Muslims look bad"—but that they would callously murder thousands of their own people and destroy a huge swath of their greatest city in the process.

Mahathir was speaking at the one-day International Conference on "9/11 Revisited: Seeking the Truth" organised by the Perdana Global Peace Foundation.
...............................

Besides 9/11 denial, the "Perdana Global Peace Foundation" is also involved in the "Free Gaza" movement, the Syrian revolution, and granting special status to the Muslim Rohingyas who are attacking Buddhist Burmese. They are rabidly antisemitic and condemn Israel's self-defense on a regular basis.

They are consistent Jihad enablers. The idea that Perdana has anything to do with "peace" is grimly laughable:

"The official explanation for the destruction of the World Trade Centre twin towers is still about an attack by suicidal Muslim extremists.

"But even among Americans this explanation is beginning to wear thin and being questioned," he said.
...............................

But only because we have moronic conspiracy theorists of our own. Jesse Ventura apparently has a new season of his fatuous show, and is flogging yet another scenario where Americans murdered their own fellow citizens.

We have all too many of these useful idiots, and Muslim apologists like former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad are only too happy to use them to further their own Jihad agenda.

Chossudovsky said this was not about a war between religions, but rather one of economic conquest.

"Around 65% to 70% of global oil and gas reserves are located in Islamic countries.
...............................

Ah—right. And that's why we went into Afghanistan, a country with *no* oil reserves, and few easily extracted natural resources of any kind.

That's also why we have militarily pulled out of Iraq, and never profited from their oil reserves in any case. We have, in fact, depleted our treasury in the foolish hope of helping these two Islamic sh*tholes become civilized democracies.

Odd behavior for a nation that supposedly was so intent on seizing the Muslim world's resources that they were willing to slaughter thousands of their own people. Never mind that paralyzing your own financial center might not be the best plan for grabbing wealth...

This stupidity just shows that it is quite possible to be both callously cynical *and* ludicrously clueless. A profoundly unlovely combination...

...and one that Jihad enablers like this former Malaysian PM is only too happy to exploit.

Or could it be that Former Malaysian Prime Ministers are too stupid to work out whether Arabs are too stupid to plan such a complex attack! :))

By the way, to place explosives to bring down a building the size of the Twin Towers would require weeks of drilling hundreds of holes all over the building and installing miles and miles of cable to connect all the pieces of explosives required to bring the building down in a controlled explsion.

Wouldn't workers in the building ask why there were men drilling holes for weeks and weeks and running miles of cable all over the building? It's not something you can do on the fly!

People who think 9/11 was an inside job are complete idiots!

You make yourself look stupid pretending 9/11 wasn't a sophisticated CIA/USDD operation using a few moslem patsies.

If you think jihading moslems are the only force for evil in the world you are terribly naive. Mohamed has killed his thousands, but Roman Catholicism has killed it tens of millions.

Well, of course! And the same is true, no doubt, of the Madrid Train bombings, 7/7, the Bali Bombings, the attack on Mumbai, Beslan, the attempted "Shoe Bombing", the attempted Times Square bombing, the attempted "Panty bombing", Beslan, all the innumerable attacks on Israeli civilians, and every other Jihad attack since 9/11.

Also, re those "moslem patsies"—why would they want to destroy the WTC and the Pentagon in the first place? Or maybe they all just lost their way on the way back from the airplane rest room? sarc/off

To borrow a phrase by Buraq: you're a clown!
