| #1 Its easy to dismiss Mahathir as a nut, but he is a very clever man. What is happening is that the spotlight has been turned on Islamic societies and much of what it shows is not good. Muslims have learned that Islam is a formula for a perfect world. So when the failings of muslim countries (and they are many) are exposed they resort to arguing the faults of others are worse and there are (jewish) conspiracies to bring the muslims down. When someone likes Mahathir spouts this nonsense, it shows there is little hope for reform of Islam. |
