Mahathir is simply great

Mahathir is an exception. He is also an exemplary leader. Exception, because he is not the kind of leader living on rhetoric alone, his true popularity lies in the works he did for his country, Malaysia. Leaders of other countries, where majority of the population are Muslims, should learn from him.

He has constantly criticised the policy of the West, directly and indirectly. His recent comment in the OIC summit is indeed a thoughtful one. It is neither driven by emotion nor by anger. Rather, it was a carefully written speech aimed at revealing an "open secret" known to almost every sane person.

Indeed the Jews control the US administration, particularly its foreign policy. Many of the prominent donors in American politics are Jews, as are many government officials. And one may surmise that they control the world by proxy by controlling the affairs of a nation that now rules the world.

The US attacked Iraq on Jewish lobby's advice and maintained silence over the outrageous declaration by the Israeli administration to kill Palestinian leader Arafat. Iran is in the axis of evil and maybe the next target of the Jewish lobby as is Syria. In short, whoever is Israel's enemy is an enemy to the Jewish controlled US too.

But all the Jews do not fall into the same class -- Mahathir also admitted that in interviews. But collectively they are responsible for many chaos and problems. One very crude example relates to illegal Israeli settlers -- they are coming with their women and children and occupying Palestinian territories. As a means to protect their homeland, Palestinians are blowing themselves along with so-called innocent (but illegal Israeli settlers indeed) Israelis.

It is a pity that women and children are being killed in battles, but who is actually responsible for putting them in the firing line? Israelis know that they don't belong there and the land truly belongs to the Palestinians. Why not they pullout from there peacefully. They will not, because they believe that they are Jews and this land belongs to them -- what a crazy idea!

After being wiped out from Europe -- where they actually belong, they eyed on the Middle East, causing unrest and chaos in there and killing Arabs and Muslims. Then they began to bully relatively weaker neighbours, constantly defying UN resolutions. The catalogue of their misdeeds is indeed long.

Often unaddressed issues like these are causing agony in the minds of Muslims, because Europeans are not annoyed or angered by persecution of Muslims by Jews, rather they are ashamed that they displayed brutality in a larger scale toward the Jews. Before Muslims, these Europeans tamed the Red Indians of America, the aborigines of Africa and Australia, and the natives of Asia. Mahathir just highlighted those facts. He is simply great.
