webfact Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Muslims have 'right to punish' French, says Malaysia's Mahathir Malaysia's former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad reacts during a news conference in Putrajaya, Malaysia September 3, 2020. REUTERS/Lim Huey Teng/Files KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia's former premier Mahathir Mohamad said on Thursday Muslims have a right to "kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past" but he did not approve of the killing of a French teacher over his use of cartoons of the Prophet. In a blog post Mahathir, 95, a respected leader in the Muslim world, said he believed in freedom of expression but that it should not be used to insult others. "Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past. But by and large the Muslims have not applied the 'eye for an eye' law. Muslims don't. The French shouldn't," Mahathir said in a blog post, which he also posted on Twitter. "Since you have blamed all Muslims and the Muslims' religion for what was done by one angry person, the Muslims have a right to punish the French," he said. Twitter said the message violated its rules and it had removed the tweet. Several Muslim-majority countries have denounced remarks by French officials, including President Emmanuel Macron, defending the use of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a French school classroom. The caricatures are seen as blasphemous by Muslims. The dispute flared after a French teacher who showed his pupils satirical cartoons of the Prophet during a civics lesson was later beheaded in the street by an attacker of Chechen origin. French officials said the killing was an attack on the core French value of freedom of expression and defended the right to publish the cartoons. Macron has also said he would redouble efforts to stop conservative Islamic beliefs subverting French values. (Reporting by A.

If he thinks this about the French, I'd hate to think what he's saying about the Chinese and their genocide of Uyghur Muslims. He has strongly criticized them, right? Oh, this is what he said: "You don’t just try and do something which would fail anyway, so it is better to find some other less violent ways not to antagonise China too much because China is beneficial for us" More selective outrage, I see.

Civil war coming - European countries need to reclaim their countries back All immigrants and refugees given a home in a foreign country must obey that countries rules. No need to give them or their offspring citizenship. If they commit a criminal offence then show them and their family the door. They are guests purely and simply. They should not have any rights other than basic human rights. They must earn their rights! If its not to their liking, then they should stay put where they originated. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
