Mahathir’s verdict: you’re greedy, sexual deviants
2003-06-19
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad launched a vitriolic attack on the European race today, accusing them of warmongering, indiscriminate attacks on Muslims, greed and sexual deviancy. Europeans, including "those who migrated and set up new nations in America, Australia and New Zealand", wanted "to control the world again", he said. Predicting that he would be condemned as a "racist", the veteran Southeast Asian leader said he was "not anti-European. I have many friends and acquaintances who are Europeans."
Some of my best friends are...
"They are very clever, brave and have an insatiable curiosity, unfortunately they are also very greedy and like to take forcibly the territories and rights of other people." Mahathir was speaking at the annual congress of his ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) for the last time before retiring in October after 22 years in power. The leader of a moderate Muslim government, Mahathir said the September 11 2001 terrorist attack on the United States was "an excuse for the Anglo Saxon Europeans to return to their old violent ways. "Their strategy to fight terrorism is through attacking Muslim countries and Muslims, whether they are guilty or not."
Which ones haven't been guilty?
Just over a year ago Mahathir was invited to the White House to be thanked personally by President George W Bush for his support in the war on terrorism, but his strong opposition to the war in Iraq has seen relations sour. Mahathir said Europeans also wanted to impose their cultural values on the world, including "unlimited freedom for the individual" and "the practice of free sex including sodomy as a right."
The freedom to diddle each other kind of falls under the heading of individual freedom, most of us perverts think...
"Marriage between male and male, between female and female are officiallly recognised by them. What we call incest is not regarded as serious by them.? The culture and the values which they will force us to accept will be hedonism, unlimited quest for pleasure, the satisfaction of base desires, particularly sexual desires. Our way of life must be the same as their way of life. Asian values do not exist for them."

#11  AWAS! Watch out for the august Datuk Seri Doctor Mahathir Mohamad! Ever notice how when folks list the 9/11 borg they say that most of them came from Saudi land? Ever wonder where the other two came from? I'm certain that one of them came from Malaysia (I had a bizarre conversation with him when I lived there)

Sexual deviancy? Read Raped, Draped and Relegated.

Sodomy? Datuk Dude, look out your window. Why so many pondans and kupu-kupu malam walking the street?

Greed? Datuk, where is the 5 billion you scammed from the Hong Kong & Shanghai bank and Bank Bumi?

#10  Putting his foot in his mouth? This isn’t new for the good “Dr.” as he spouts off every now and then.

Remember, his family immigrated to Malaysia from Pakistan and he is not ethnic Malay. Maybe that contributes to his constant vitriol against the West.

As for Malaysia itself, a friend of mine is an engineer there. It’s a great country with wonderful beaches, beautiful women and friendly people.

But A lot of people tout Malaysia as a successful example of a moderate Muslim state, but I beg to differ. I was reading somewhere that up to 75% of Malaysia’s wealth is held by ethnic Chinese, most of whom are located in KL, which is a really nice city. The rest of the country is quite poor and Islamic fundamentalism is pretty ripe, contrary to Mahatir’s purported claims. As someone mentioned above, the Chinese are not treated too well and ethnic tensions run pretty high. So much for our “model” moderate Muslim state.

Phew! He had me worried there for a minute. I'm glad he's just talking about Canada.

#8  Sounds like he's jealous...

"The culture and the values which they will force us to accept will be hedonism, unlimited quest for pleasure, the satisfaction of base desires, particularly sexual desires."

Ohhh..."forced" to accept it...yaas...that's it...Honestly Fatima, I didn't go in that gay bar voluntarily, these two sweaty leather clad stud-muffins forced me to my knees and then...

#7  "....accusing them of warmongering, indiscriminate attacks on Muslims, greed, and sexual deviancy."
Well, one out of four isn't bad. On the other hand, I'm not too eager to see a wall pushed over on my local hair stylist. Guess I'd make a bad muslim.

#6  This guy Mahathir is moderate in the sense that he only hates our guts - the extremists both hate our guts and actually act on that feeling. I think he's also a tad parochial - much of modern Malaysia is shaped by Western values - of equality of the sexes, the right to vote, the right to free expression and freedom of religion. None of these values existed in Malaysia, until the Britain's empire-builders enforced them on Malaysia's principalities.

#5  Liberalhawk said, "Dont know of any equivalent combination anywhere else quite like him"

You'd be safe calling him a proto-fascist.
Dr. Mahathir is an anti-Semitic, ethnic demagogue who favors Malays over Chinese and Indian Malaysians, Anti-individualist, anti-modern/Western, cult of personality, terrible state security apparatus (ISI). This is the fascist part of Islamo-fascism.

#4  I would flee if I were one of his friends. Just remember what Muhammad did to the Jewish tribe who had succoured him when he was cast from Mecca: he killed all the men and all the boys who had pubes, the women (and part of the remaining boys) were raped and shared between him (he got one fifth of everything) and his soldiers, sae thing for the lands and the gold. So if you are not a Muslim and Malathir call you a friend kill the bastard if you can and flee as fast as possible if you can't.

#3  What we call incest is not regarded as serious by them.

However, we do take a dim view of old men buying and marrying nine year olds, so we can't be all that bad, can we?

#2  this isnt only the usual muslim raving about sex. Muhatir had a powerful political opponent some years back, whom he accused of sodomy. So the sexual deviancy thing is a political tool, and this is probably an oblique reference to his political opponent.

Malaysia is "moderate", cause he needs to trump up a charge like that to put someone in prison - cant just shoot them in the middle of the night, or even imprison them for crimes against the state. And of course he lets the local Chinese live unmolested - and has cracked down on Al qaeeda affiliated Salafist loonies. Not everyone who is threatened by Islamic fundamentalism is a friend of the west - but then we already knew that - whats off about Mahatir is that hes muslim and strongly anti fundie and also strongly anti-western and anti/liberal and yet not Baathist/secularist. Dont know of any equivalent combination anywhere else quite like him
