Kuala Lumpur/Paris: Amid ongoing terror attacks in France by the Islamists, former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad shocked the world when he almost justified the killings saying that Muslims “have the right to kill millions of French people” to avenge the past.While France is reeling under the recent attacks, including the latest in Nice where three people were killed and several others were injured by a knife-wielding Islamist inside a church on Thursday, the most shocking reaction came from Mahathir when he posted a series of tweets justifying the attacks.
In a tweet that has since been removed for violating the microblogging site’s rules, Mahathir had posted: ‘Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.’
He attacked French President Emmanuel Macron for his recent remarks about Islam and said he “is not showing that he is civilised.” “He is very primitive in blaming the religion of Islam and Muslims for the killing of the insulting school teacher. It is not in keeping with the teachings of Islam.””Since you have blamed all Muslims and the Muslims’ religion for what was done by one angry person, the Muslims have a right to punish the French. The boycott cannot compensate the wrongs committed by the French all these years.
The attack comes days after a history teacher Samuel Paty, 47, was beheaded for showing cartoons of Prophet Mohammad during a discussion on free speech.
