How can a Malaysian PM top last week’s anti-semitic slur? By repeating it over and over. Also claims to be all chummy with Bush, for some reason. Then again Mahathir is hardly the first politician to want to lay blame for everything on “The Jews”, but the fact that his slanders are so well-received in the Islamic world unfortunately point to a very disturbing trend. Perhaps if Islamic governments concentrated on bettering themselves instead of persisting in a futile and pointless permanent state of warfare with the west they would garner praise from their own, but it’s easier to generate hate than understanding.
