Muslims
urged to unite against Jews
16/10/2003 - 12:10:59 pm
The biggest summit of Islamic leaders in three years
opened today with calls for the world�s 1.3 billion Muslims to unite against
�a few million Jews� who allegedly rule the world and get others to fight and
die for them.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said Muslims
for years believed mistakenly that Islam rejected new technology and
progress.
He urged Muslims worldwide to ignore teachings by religious
fundamentalists that scientific studies were somehow un-Islamic.
�We
need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and warships for our
defence,� Mahathir told leaders from 57 nations gathered for a summit of the
Organisation of the Islamic Conference in Malaysia�s new capital,
Putrajaya.
�Because we are discouraged from learning of science and
mathematics ... today we have no capacity to produce our weapons for our
defence,� said Mahathir, chairman of the two-day summit.
Malaysia, a
mostly Muslim nation, has long been a critic of Israel�s occupation of
Palestinian territories and of US policy in the Middle East, including the war
in Iraq and its strong backing of the Jewish state.
Mahathir 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.�
�They have now gained control of the most powerful countries and
they, this tiny community, have become a world power.�
Leaders
attending the summit include Jordan�s King Abullah, Syrian President Bashar
Assad, Morocco�s King Mohammed VI, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and
Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri.
Russian President Vladimir
Putin and Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo are attending as
special observers because of their large Muslim minorities.
