Malaysia's Mahathir says Muslims have right to kill French, Twitter deletes post

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's former leader Mahathir Mohamad tweeted on Thursday 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.

Referring to the recent beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty in Paris, who showed pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, Mahathir said he did not approve of that attack but freedom of expression does not include"insulting other people". Mahathir, who served as Malaysian premier twice for a total of 24 years, said that French President Emmanuel Macron was"not showing that he is civilised", adding he was"very primitive".

Bad publicity.. where is the harmony..

Nice news twisting to make it look sensational. Click Bait trick!!

Mr Mahathir, please be like Mr Mahatma Gandhi and encourage non violence to achieve your point.

Fuck you Mahatir! Burn in hell you piece of shit

Not once in his verbal diarrhoea did Mahathir say , they should not resort to violence. Instead he was praising Muslims have right to be angry but they are not doing violence enough. Can anyone believe that?

Lol, going crazy by the day this guy

Diam la tua!

Thats not what the whole text is😔😏🙄

He is also a terrorist by saying so.

Old senile.

A politician must speak two ways. At 1st, he says muslim nev use eye for an eye approach, following that he says french kill too many in the past mostly muslim. They have the right to kill. Conclude; Bear grudges is acceptable, multiply it. Lucky Mr mahathir no longer a PM.

Sh!t times as usual clickbait

Bad headline. He did say that but he further said we shldnt. They censored one part of his thread. Peh come on he's not suggesting we kill ppl per say. 🤔

This is so cringe. 95 year old man waxing lyrical about bikinis like a dirty uncle. His whole thread was unhinged. Xenophobia, historical grievances and, well, genocidal

He will die soon himself

So does America. It has the right to kill anyone and kidnap anyone on earth.

He has always been a sandwich short of a picnic, but this one shows he has finally sunk to his truly uncivilised lowest highlighting the danger posed to normal people by deranged and uncivilised Muslims. nutjob IslamReligionOfPeace NiceAttack

Can’t believe he was ex PM of Malaysia. Instead of asking people to not resort to violence, he is justifying the violence and misusing the victim card for this. Very shocking, very disgusting.

Read the full article and see yourself what Mahathir really tweeted before barking. Cmon Singaporeans, you’re better than this.

This is what he said, but, sure, headline it in a sensationalistic way to put a bad light on Muslims.

Please read the full article and not simply the click-bait headline.

Wuah.... Stcom taking things out of context. Abit low don't u think

What a disgusted comment from Mahathir. Truly disappointed to hear that! Mahathir should apologise for what he has said😡. Hope the comment will not be able to share widely and cause an unnecessary uproar. ✊✌️🙏

Hello You interpreted in the most INCORRECT WAYS what Mahathir is saying! Spell check and grammar check before you publish your junkyard article. Get your most culture-sensitive mind senior editors to correct your language!

Malaysian Osama

Huhhh..

Disgusting

What a disgrace

Hate speech is not considered freedom of speech. Do not glorify violence!
