Dr M: Misleading interpretations have sparked fear of Islam
The Star Online, Malaysia ^ | January 9, 2015

Posted on 01/10/2015 7:01:56 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The misleading interpretations of Islam as a cruel religion have sparked a fear of Islam in Malaysia, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“Before this, there was no controversy over the teachings of Islam. But now, a lot of things and reactions have surfaced where people do things that may not be agreeable to the Muslims.

“They like to portray Islam as a cruel, unreasonable or unjust religion and that makes non-Muslims in Malaysia afraid of Islam, when the reality is, there is nothing to fear,” he added.

“For example, the verse that allowed Muslims to kill non-Muslims only touched on one event in the history of Islam. It does not mean we are told to kill other people,” he said.

No one ever questioned Islam before? Really?? First of all...it’s NOT a religion...it’s a political system and the motto from the beginning has always been “Kill All the Christians and Jews”.

Islam is Satanic!
Islam IS the Whore of Babylon!
Islam is psychopathic!
Islam creates psychopaths!
Islam is about domination.
Islam is about submission to Islam!
Islam is about conversion or die!
Islam is about a one world religion; ISLAM!
Islam is the current EVIL entity infecting our world!

After the murderous terrorists in France were killed by authorities, conservative commentator Erick Erickson made a modest proposal for how to treat their corpses:

Dear France, wrap their bodies in the carcasses of pigs.

Taqqiyah from Malaysia, where you aren’t a true Malay unless you’re a Muslim.

I have no fear of islam. My fear is I’ll run out of bullets before I run out of violent muslims.

“They like to portray Islam as a cruel, unreasonable or unjust religion and that makes non-Muslims in Malaysia afraid of Islam”

And you, Mahathir, are responsible for much of that fear with your Islamist leadership.

Wonder how many of the folks commenting here actually read the article.

I've seen this type of garbage so many times I did not have to read it. After reading your post I DID go and read it, do you know what I discovered? I've seen this type of garbage so many times I did not have to read it!

All I needed to know about islam I learned on 9/12.

islam is a social/political construct that uses "religion" as its beard. Its main goal is to replace any government and/or religion that it isn't. It is constructed like a packet switched network, there is no central controller and if one part of it is cut it reroutes. It has not head, their is no moslem "pope". The only way to stop it is to not let it start.

In the United States of America islam is a treasonous entity. It should not be allowed in the US because of its one purpose and that purpose is to replace the US republic.

Anyone that thinks that there is a "peaceful version of islam" is a total moron or bleeding heart, suicidal, leftist feel good lamb waiting for the slaughter.

Over the past decade I've read over and over the type of lies "Dr. M" is spewing. It is nothing more than al Taqiyya. Anyone that gives this type of spew any kind of relevance is insane!

Was Muhammad the perfect Muslim or not? If he was then violence is required by Islam,if he wasn’t they need to say so.

Muslims butcher each other and when they can’t do so they butcher us.

Its as old as Islam. Gee, its totalitarian, terrorist and genocidal character is nothing for us to be afraid of.

Just ask the innocent victims of Islamic terrorism about that around the world.

Moderate Muzzies pretend that the terrorists are not real Muslims. Here’s how you test Muslims to see if they are ‘moderate’. Publicly bury the terrorists in pigs blood and watch for the reaction. Anyone who protests is just another terrorist supporter.

Name one contribution Islam has made to civilization?

They don't believe in the arts
They are non-players in science and technology
They do not produce entertainment or have athletic prowess
They do not value joy
Most lack indoor plumbing!
What have they contributed except fear and anger?

Islam produces takers and not makers, they are a parasite on civilization.

I copied this from another thread. So I give them credit.

This history is not taught, so most people have no idea what the “...Shores of Tripoli” in the Marines Corp anthem refers to...Or that the Marines were essentially created to deal with Barbary Pirates against US shipping...Or that literally millions (yes, millions!) of white Europeans were captured and sold into slavery in Muslim countries by these and those like them (Muzzies, all and a few turncoats)...Or that the US paid huge “tribute” to keep its shipping and people from the raiders...

There’s an excellent (IMHO) book entitled “The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805”, by Richard Zacks available at Amazon that details William Eaton’s secret mission to the Barbary Coast for Thomas Jefferson...Here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Pirate-Coast-Jefferson-Marines/dp/140130849X

If you’re interested in this subject, I highly recommend it...I found it worth my time...

Seems people think the latest atrocities committed by the Muslim ISIS is an abberation...Read this book, and decide for yourself if it is, or just more of the same...

Then start reading Muslim history since Muhamed...Consistent pattern of brutality whenever and wherever able to carry it out...Nothing’s changed at all...

Here is an excellent article on this.
“Terrorism In Early America: The U.S. Wages War Against The Barbary States To End International Blackmail and Terrorism”

Let me correct the headline. The behavior of many Muslims have sparked fear of Islam.

” It does not mean we are told to kill other people,” he said.”

Liar.

"The nazis were also misunderstood."

Here is a picture of Hitler having a pow-wow with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Birds of a feather.

I'd be willing to bet they weren't trading Kosher recipes.
