#1 Maybe we should cut the guy some slack and focus on the good things he said. We already know that even moderate Muslim's blame the Jews for all the world's ills and want them to vanish from the face of the earth. So it seems to me that it wouldn't hurt to get them focused on a real education. If Muslims were raised on science and Technology, instead of Jew-blaming, in the process of the education, they might actually wake up to the realization that Jew-blaming does nothing to improve their world.

#2 B: I kinda wanted the moosleems to be educated too, with the hope that if they learned to wipe their a**es correctly they might quit trying to kill or convert everybody.

This guy is calling for education and technological advances so that they can kill more efficiently. I'm not so sure anymore that it's a bad thing these Thuggees can't read.

#3 B - I hear ya. Your common sense tells you this should be the logical outcome to being exposed to rational thought. Yep, I thought the same way. Then I met a bunch of Saudis who had been educated abroad in US & UK (admittedly, university only) and other Muslims from various countries, including Iraq. To a man, they may have been more open-minded about things new to them and some even picked up the patter ("Bloody Hell!" was common out of the Iraqi; educated in UK and worked there for 8 years... 8 YEARS + the years for University for BS, MS, & PhD), but those things taught to them from birth were still there, like a reflex. Bring up the "Palestinians" and they spewed dogma straight outta Saeb Erakat's disgusting mouth. I tried to reason with the Iraqi guy, thinking his long time and education in the West would allow him to at least think before spewing. No joy. Never met an exception in over 4 years - and these are the best educated Saudis in the country and I was talking to the most Western-oriented of those. No joy.

So don't hold your breath. Your heart and head are in the right place, but theirs are up their asses. :-(

#4 Hey, that's why they call it "MAL-asia", y'know?

#5 You don't have to go to the ME to find people with their head in the wrong place. Paul Krugman in today's NY Times actually defends Mahathir's speech ("part of a delicate balancing act") and blames -- surprise, surprise -- America. In-credible.

#6 Your common sense tells you this should be the logical outcome to being exposed to rational thought.

In the ME, those Muslims exposed to "rational thought" are likely to end up with a drastically shortened life expectancy.

#7 Let all remember that Dr. Mahathir represents the so-called 'educatedâ Muslim. Since this guy should know better then what do you thing he teaches the âcommonâ Muslim? This is the same type of people who started the National Socialist Party in Germany. They had some educated people, some muscle, blind followers, and vitriol hatred. I fear we missed a chance to cleanse the gene pool when we had them together at the Muslim Summit. Ok now I have to go back to my Zionist overlords.

#8 The Jews are making him say this. Its part of a clever plot to make Muslim leadership appear ever more foolish. Its working.

#9 I think Mahathir missed his own point. People of Jewish decent have been sucessful in many different societies because they have integrated themselves.

We saw a pretty good example of integration several days ago. On one of the previous posts concerning the US extermination of its aboriginal culture, there was an informal survey of Rantburgers who were of Native American decent. The percentage was high.

I am reasonably sure the George Bush has a Native America somewhere in his family tree. Has Sitting Bull's insideous plan for world domination has been realized? Have Native Americans secretly commandiered the Club of Rome? I don't think so.

Americans are from a diverse ethnic cilture. Some ethnic traditions become part of the total ethnic fabric of the country. While many Americans of diverse backgrounds choose to get loaded on St Patty's Day as well as Cinco De Mio, I haven't been to a sweat tent in recent memory.

Why does this clown think the Jewish influence on our coutnry is different?

#10 Shit, I missed the survey. I'm sorta-kinda Comanche. Woohoo! Cootahey!

Dakotah SH - I think you guys are onto something! Clever, indeed! Mahathir does, indeed, look like a total fool - every time he opens his trap. And NOW I know what that secret handshake I was taught as a child is about! I'll be waiting to be contacted. Send someone to Thailand. Chiang Mai. Doiping Mansion. Tell 'em to take their time, I'm cool with that.

Okay, I have to go back and report to my Jewish overlords, too.
