earlier in the month who was murdered after he displayed a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad to his class.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

He’s exposed the fact that Mohamed was a warlord and Christ was a pacifist - and never the twain shall meet - different cultures.

If you choose to follow a religious faith, fine, but remember, don't expect me to abide by its teachings or refrain from criticising them. It's all about opinions and everyone's right to expres them. If they offend, that's all part of it.

The top leader with the lowest level of humanity chedetofficial

Quite rightly so!

Because most people dont read or dont understand context for being too shallow.

Mahathir has a long history of make provocative statements for political gain. He has also encouraged violence and been, well quite racist actually. He lives in and moves in a very privileged class in Malaysia.

Honestly everyone should've read the now flagged Tweet in full context. He was talking about the concept of 'an eye for an eye' to describe the current atrocity. That said, he made it clear that instead of using that method, we should move on a just educate respect to the people.

Shocking, irresponsible comments from a (thankfully) former leader. FreeSpeech is the cornerstone of civilised societies and always will be. Islamists will never silence Europeans or change our civilised values.🇫🇷 IStandWithFrance

Stupid old coots are wrecking the joint.

Fraud & biased western leaders,didn’t say anything about the french vilifying of islam in the name of freedom,now the r condemning 😂

France is responsible for this unfortunate barbaric incident stop provoking Muslim otherwise this world will be a place of boiling volcano 🌋 realize it no one can erase islam and muslim or reshape them.

The worry is that many agree with him 😥.....

Mahathir Mohamad was always a controversial figure. He used to encourage violence towards jews. Hopefully, he has thought about what he is going to tell his guy in the sky when he stands in front of him/her in the coming months or years. He has a lot of defending to do.

he has said what is right

What happened to freedom of speech!?

Unfortunate Comment 4m a Veteran Leader!!? TERRORISM is EVIL forever nd there should be No Sympathy 4 TERRORISTS nd It Should be Wiped out Completely 4m d WORLD immediately!!!!

Usual Islamophobic propaganda, faking Mathahir's comment (omitting full sentence). He said, French killed millions of Muslims in history, if Muslims apply blaming France as of today for that, how does that feel, comparing what that murderer of teacher, Macron equates to Islam.

The weakness of Muslim countries is regional differences and their economic competitions.Instead of paying attention to be United and become one voice they have been shattered by the glamour of fast growing and more modern especially The Arabs.They are worst

Didn’t France launch missiles into Muslim areas? Isn’t that the same thing, but worse?

There is a difference between freedom of speech and Mocking something,it’s obvious Macron tried to mock and why we all know Islam is spreading faster in France than any other European countries and has larger numbers.His head is big but tiny brain with zero characters

Western media is trying to change the gravity and narrative of Mahathir statement.He didn’t say it’s nice or bad.He simply explained if you attack our Muhammad (PBUH),result will come out as intense protest coz ppl get emotional with it and we live our religion.

France didn’t learn lesson from Denmark,in cartoon has been mocked prophet Muhammed,freedom of speech doesn't base on mutural respect for religion,what could happen consequently after protest,ATTACKING,so France asked and has paid for it,are you still laughing?

This person spoke of his heart. Anyone who has submitted to Islam will have similar views. Some express openly and some do not.

When's the war start?

It's amazing how ppl forget the premise of injustice...which is to award blame to an entire body of ppl in order to demonise them...instead of prosecuting the individual whose actions is abhorrent...

The sad reality is many Muslims will agree with him.

Not terrorist...call him a murderer...just as new Zealand called the Christian who killed an entire mosque congregation... MURDERER!!!

I think he speaks for most Muslims.

Mr. Mohamad’s remarks shame his Tamil ancestors in justifying & glorifying violence. His bloodthirsty ignorance is an insult to Islam and to humanity. Muslims murdered millions of Hindus and Sikhs in India from the 8th-17th century. Does this justify BJP violence against Muslims?

Did we hear anyone from the West to condenm the publication of prophet's cartoon. Hypocrites of high class.

A simple chance to both say that the cartoons are offensive AND condemn any violent actions. If I were a Muslim, I would only consider a legal jihad.

Who predicted this?

This idiot is not dead yet?

Should be cause for strong action not just condemnation. Highly irresponsible remark. He's no better than a street thug. Reflects the quality of Malaysian political leadership.

Chinese backed thug

Let us hope the current Pm condemns the comments, or, it appears this is the official position of Malaysia. Which is quite unfortunate.

Nice 'terror' attack: One dead, several wounded, perpetrator arrestedOne person has been killed and several wounded in what appears to be a terrorist knife attack at the Notre Dame cathedral in the French city of Nice. Oh Lord. Help the innocent. Let’s guess the demographic, and no doubt “mental health” issues ... apart from the obvious DailyMail 'Terrorist stabbings' ... really? Seems sorta like a terrorist with training wheels. If you are going to go into a church, you best light it up with some heavy artillery. Cause being arrested with some dorky knife is no one to go out. You will be mocked in prison.

Emmanuel Macron facing greatest test of his presidencyFrance terror attacks - and global outrage - leave Macron facing greatest test of his presidency It’s terrible. I hope there is enough supplies to deal with this disaster. Anti-Islam is called free speech Anti-Jewish is called hate speech Islamophobia The events in France show we in Britain have to stop doing business completely with a major exporter of Islamist terrorism - the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This was the finding of the United Nation's Agnes Callamard, in relation to the death of Washington Post's Jamal Khashoggi.
