Thinking Meat

Wow, is there anything Jews didn't invent to rule the world?

Putrajaya, Malaysia - The biggest summit of Islamic leaders in three years opened on Thursday with calls for the world's 1.3bn Muslims to unite against "a few million Jews" who allegedly rule the world by controlling the world's major powers...

[Malaysian Prime Minister] Mahathir [Mohamad], chairing the two-day summit, launched a blistering attack on what he described as Jewish domination of the world and Muslim nations' inability to adequately respond to it.

"The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million, but today the Jews rule the world by proxy," Mahathir said. "They get others to fight and die for them."

"We are up against a people who think. They survived 2000 years of pogroms not by hitting back but by thinking," Mahathir said....

Starting to think immediately after this declaration, the Prime Minister lets us know just what he thinks of human progress over the past few centuries:

..."They [the Jews] invented Socialism, Communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others."

Emphasis mine. Idiocy in original.

Finally, to allay any doubts of his aspirations to be the Hitler of the 21st century:

He suggested new tactics other than lashing out violently against "the enemy," including leveraging the political, economic and demographic forces at the disposal of Muslim nations, calling it a "strategic retreat" that would lead to "final solution victory."

This is, of course, not the first time Mahathir has let his views on Jews be known. Just to reiterate: this man is the Prime Minister of a supposedly "moderate" Muslim country. I'm sure his speech will be strongly condemned at the OIC, the UN will issue a rebuke to its Malaysian representative, and Human Rights Watch will add this to its curiously incomplete complaints.

And pigs will become a hazard to air travel.
