The PM of Malaysia has been getting his talking points from Ramsey Clark and Noam Chomsky. Perhaps he is listening to KPFT Pacifica radio via the Internet. Note that he is described as leading a "moderate Muslim government." Any wonder we have real trouble from "extreme" groups?
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad launched a vitriolic attack on the European race today, accusing them of warmongering, indiscriminate attacks on Muslims, greed and sexual deviancy. Europeans, including "those who migrated and set up new nations in America, Australia and New Zealand", wanted "to control the world again", he said.Predicting that he would be condemned as a "racist", the veteran Southeast Asian leader said he was "not anti-European. I have many friends and acquaintances who are Europeans."
"They are very clever, brave and have an insatiable curiosity," he said. But "unfortunately they are also very greedy and like to take forcibly the territories and rights of other people."
