Malaysia: Mahathir Urges Muslim Armament, Again

Mahathir bin Mohammad, one of the world's most-hyped Islamic 'moderates' and consumate anti-semite, has been urging Muslims to build their own darn weapons, again: Mahathir: Muslims must build own weapons

Kuala Lumpur (dpa) - Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has urged Muslims to build their own weapons, including rockets and fighter jets, instead of relying on Western imports, a news report said Thursday.

Mahathir, who retired as one of Asia's longest-serving leaders in November 2003, argued that Muslims would be oppressed as long as they lacked home-made military might.

"Muslims are weak because we have not made the necessary preparation to defend and protect ourselves and the masses," the Star daily quoted him as saying. "We could not do it because we have not mastered the knowledge of science."

Mahathir, whose country is mostly Muslim, said weapons currently were imported from Western nations, leaving a measure of vulnerability in the defence systems of the Muslim world.[...]
