| World war has begun, Malaysian leader says |
| 2003-01-27 |
| DAVOS, SWITZERLAND -- As the Malaysian Prime Minister sees it, the Third World War has already begun between "the axis of evil and Satan." I guess that makes him Satan's little helper. In a provocative speech to delegates at the start of the annual World Economic Forum, Mahathir Mohamad painted a picture of the West, particularly the United States, facing an enemy it doesn't understand and doesn't seek to understand. "We fear terrorists. We fear flying. We fear night clubs. We fear parcels. We fear white powder. We fear shoes. We fear Muslims. We fear metal cutlery," he said. Actually, we only fear crazy Muslims, not inanimate objects, but I didn't want to interrupt the rant. "They fear starvation. They fear military invasion. They fear being rocketed. They fear being captured and detained." Again, Dr. Mahathir is being a tad inconsistent here: if you are starving, being captured and sent to Gitmo might not be such a bad thing. This new war is characterized above all by revenge, said Dr. Mahathir, Malaysia's Prime Minister for the past 22 years, who plans to retire at the end of 2003. Maybe he's auditioning for the Al Queda lecture circuit. Speaking can be a lucrative retirement gig for former heads of state. The Prime Minister said U.S. President George W. Bush was the first to say after Sept. 11 that the United States is at war. It may not be a conventional war fought on battlefields but, he added, "people are being killed and people are fighting back." Dr. Mahathir said that people do not strap explosives to themselves and then detonate them and they do not fly large planes into buildings on a whim. Not on a whim. They do it because they are crazy, consumed by hate and their culture leaves them susceptible to the most insane ideology yet to be invented. |

| #6 Don't need to ask why you post as anonymous do we? Great Satan is a perfect title for America from the Islamic perspective. Satan seduces people by giving them what they want. The Islamic world imprisons people by telling them they cannot have what they want. It's gotta be hell on Earth for the Islamofacists, no wonder Atta and company snuck out for a lapdance. |

| #5 BS!!! Bush has been promoting imperial Islam since Sept. 16, 2001, when he took Oval Office counsel from the North American frontman - Muzammil Siddiqi - for a Pakistan based al-Qaeda support group: Jamaat-i-Islami. Muslims are prime beneficiaries of his "community and faith based initiatives" cash-cow. Jamaat-i-Islami is using the $50,000,000 plus American aid that will filter into Pakistan's NWFP, to finance jihad against Americans in Afghanistan. Why is Bush perpetuating this madness? According to David Frum (The Right Man), on the day before the first anniversary of 9-11, the President arranged for an Oval Office meeting with representatives of the "common children of Abraham" - ie. Jews, Christians and Muslims - and reminded them how Abrahamic "faith" helped cure his alcoholism. His dypso-abated mind tells him that Islam is his self-perceived: savior. I have to say it: Bush is protected by the Nuremburg-herd mentality. The media is conditioning Americans to believe that he is the incarnation of Plato's "Philosopher-King." Maybe these mental slaves might exercise a little scrutiny if they learn something of the official Wahabi position on "interfaith": www.alminbar.com/khutbaheng/ifm.htm TRY FACT INSTEAD OF FICTION; YOU MIGHT LIKE IT. It is a fact that Bush's serial surrenders have weakened and divided the great democracies, while strengthening the jihadi tyrants. |
