OIC should consider arms for Hezbollah: Malaysian minister
2006-08-09
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said on Tuesday that the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) nations should consider supplying arms to Hezbollah amid anger and frustration over Israel's offensive in Lebanon. Malaysia currently chairs the 57-nation OIC, and Syed Hamid said Israel could not be allowed to act with impunity, although it seemingly had "carte blanche" in its operations.

"Some are suggesting that we supply arms. Okay, we should look at all these things," Syed Hamid was quoted as saying by the state Bernama news agency. "The governments (of OIC) countries should look and we must not allow Israel to do what it wants," he said, but added that Muslim countries had to act according to international norms and principles.

#10  Zenster, tsunamis are specially reserved for Indonesia. You can pull Motorola(perhaps Intel too, later)out of Malaysia and there'll be a sobering effect. The Foreign Minister is known for non too bright ejaculations but they reflect the consensus of the PM.

#9  Malaysia is also 'monitoring' the truce between the Philippine Government and the MILF.

And President Arroyo (of the philippines) just bends her country over and takes it -- no reach-around necessary.

#8  Are we still giving these f&ckwit ingrates American foreign aid? If so, why? We need to pull the plug on these flat-liners and let them submerge in their own cesspits. More tsunamis, faster, please.

#6  Clearly they believe the UN is allied with Hizb'Allah.

Well, that's a reasonable deduction, based on the evidence.

#5  Malaysia used to host al Qaeda conferences until the invasion of Afghanistan (which Malaysia opposed) made clear to it that facilitating al Qaeda attacks could be dangerous to the host. This isn't such a big step for Malaysia.

#4  Muslims think us fools. They need look no further than the lack of seriousness in how we are persuing our war with them. So they can say and do what they do with impunity and they know it.

Remember ROPMA.

#1  Malaysia has offered to send 1,000 soldiers for the UN force. Clearly they believe the UN is allied with Hizb'Allah.
