The OIC Summit: Malaysian PM Mahathir’s Speech on 16 October

You may remember briefly a report in the press about a certain Islamic leader’s speech concerning how the Jews control the world, etc. That speech was given by the outgoing Malaysian Prime Minster at last year’s October summit in Qatar. Of course, that brief comment overshadowed a larger speech that should make every Western policy analyst take notice:

Today we, the whole Muslim ummah are treated with contempt and dishonour. Our religion is denigrated. Our holy places desecrated. Our countries are occupied. Our people starved and killed.

None of our countries are truly independent. We are under pressure to conform to our oppressors’ wishes about how we should behave, how we should govern our lands, how we should think even.

Today if they want to raid our country, kill our people, destroy our villages and towns, there is nothing substantial that we can do. Is it Islam which has caused all these? Or is it that we have failed to do our duty according to our religion?

Print this off and read it in its entirety. You will not only be impressed, but once you consider that the West has no similar unifying pole such as Islam, it should make you think about where we are as a culture and the importance of culture – because it will ultimately play out within our lifetime.
