Mahathir launched an extraordinary outburst on Twitter after an attack in southern France saw three people killed. Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad tweeted Thursday that Muslims had a right "to kill millions of French people" after a deadly attack in Nice, sparking widespread anger and prompting Twitter to delete his post.
Twitter initially declined to remove the comments, but finally did so following a furious reaction from the French government. Twitter initially flagged Mahathir's tweet about killing "millions of French people" as "glorifying violence" but did not remove it. "The French in the course of their history has killed millions of people. Many were Muslims. Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past."
"The French should teach their people to respect other people's feelings. 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.
I don’t understand how someone thinks their religion enables them to harm others or dictate what freedom of speech is.
France is in a bad place rn. If they don't change, it will only get worse for them.
THIS SCUMBAG MESSED UP HIS COUNTRY KARMA IS A BITCH
Only cowards kill women and children. Where is your honour, it appears you have none. You kill over a cartoon!!! Brainless.
'Religion of peace'
Heavy sigh. Peace brothers. Religion, colour, ethnicity, culture, sexual preferences matter not. Remove vengeance and hatred from your heart and find peace.
Religion of peace?
Then why make it public by not deleting this one too?
Now thats a wack job
Twitter should ban any politician accounts, the only thing they should be allowed to tweer is public information and no opinion allowed, and Twitter should ban any religious tweet.
... but did they lock the account, probably not as that is something Twitter reserves for plain ordinary citizens
Politicians should not have Twitter accounts.
While Demonizing Muslims for the actions of few lone wolfs French must not forget their own Genocidal past. Muslim all over the world condemn the killings. Billions of Muslims are asking not to disrespect their prophet & doubling down on it because of these few hurts millions.
Actual reporting
The violence would continue until 22 May when the tribes surrendered. By then, 45,000 Algerian men, women and children in and around the region of Setif, Guelma and Kherrata had been killed along with 102 French casualties.
So... the Malaysian ex-PM is not a muslim?
... but doesn’t remove him from Twitter. People have been banned for FAR less. Yet for whatever reason, this isn’t worthy of being banned. The double standards are glaring.
The Religion of Piss will never change...
Yikes
France shows off the skulls of Muslims they killed in museums. Nothing can top this barbarism and blood thirst. Oh and happy Halloween
'Twitter initially declined to remove the comments.' C'mon governments. These tech companies have proven time and again they aren't willing to exercise any responsibility. Time to legislate the crap out of them. They had their chance.
Notice how he’s not been banned yet by twitter and he’s said much worse in the past. Wonder Y
muslims are killing christians all over europe, when will it end?
