From Jew-hater to a Jew-lover

Mahathir Muhammad was my greatest Islamic leader, whom I used see as a model for the Muslim world’s movement towards moderation, prosperity and development. Never did I realize that there is so much anti-Jewish poison in the mind of this highly acclaimed leader – both in the East and the West. That Mahathir speech in OIC meeting in 2003 definitely changed my life and perspective of the world forever. I became much more sympathetic to the people of other religions (including the Jews) than I was before, which they definitely deserve, not less if not more. The terrible treatments doled out to the Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and Jews etc. in any Muslim-dominated country in the world on a daily basis even today would easily justify my sympathetic views of them by any standard of logic.

This also marked the commencement of my journey of finding out what is there in Islam that can fill the mind of 1.4 billion Muslims with such poisonous and cruel thoughts and utter degree of irrationality as reflected in Mahathir’s speech. After studying Islam (Koran & prophet’s biographies) to a great deal, what I found is that it all comes from the Koran and life of the prophet Muhammad and that they are totally undeserving of the Jews.

I certainly hope that this guy has an unlisted phone number.

It deserves broader publication. Sharia law is a step back to the dark ages.

A home in a gated community, a "designated car-starter" and a machinegun nest on the roof would also be helpful;)

More rabbis should prepare for an even larger influx of non-Jewish students.

"In a few decades as the Oil-money dries up in the Middle-east and with no attention and effort on a science and technology-based economy in place that can survive without the oil-flow, our Muslim brothers in those now-rich countries may well be reduced to beggars."

One the reasons I want to live a long life is to enjoy watching this prediction come true.
