Mahathir: Jews rule world by proxy
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohammed said Thursday the world's 1.3 billion Muslims had less influence than the few million Jews who "rule this world by proxy."
"One-point-three billion people cannot be simply wiped out," Mahathir told the Organization of Islamic Conference summit being held in Putrajaya. "The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million. But today, the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them."
He said Muslims worldwide must work together.
"We are all Muslims. We are all oppressed," he said. "We are all being humiliated."
The comments, which came at the opening address of the OIC's 10th summit, were reported by the official Bernama news agency. The summit lasts two days.
The meeting is the first attended by Muslim leaders since the Sept 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. Russian President Vladimir Putin was also present.
Mahatir also criticized the West for its policies toward the Muslim world.
"Our religion is denigrated. Our holy places desecrated," he said. "Our countries are occupied, our people starved and killed. None of our countries is truly independent. We are under pressure to conform to our oppressors' wishes about how we should behave, how we should govern our lands, how we should think even."
To solve this, he said, "Our countries must be stable and well-administered, must be economically and financially strong, industrially competent and technologically advanced."
He added: "We need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and warships..."
He cautioned, however, "We must not antagonize everyone. We must win their hearts and minds."
