Confusing, preposterous and rhetorical tweets from Dr. Mahathir on 29 Oct 2020.

 In regard to the tweets from Dr. Mahathir, Former Prime Minister of Malaysia& currently Member of Parliament, twitter account dated 29th October 2020, I think it is absolutely preposterous and abhorrent. 

*Police should investigate and confirm whether Dr. Mahathir indeed commented on France terror attack in his Twitter account. Cunning and deny every wrongdoings is his forte.

None of the tweets make any sense. Not difficult to see he is misogynistic(gender bias), undemocratic, selfish& irresponsible. Those tweets carry rhetorical agenda. Perhaps to gain political mileage to come back the third time as PM. 

Respond to Mahathir 1st tweet, may I know how is it justifiable to vent anger by killing a human just because of a caricature? 

How it is not Islam radicalising people when people from others religion will not react violently for such trivial matters? 

Privileged Immunity

To Mahathir 2nd tweet. 'Killing is not an act of Muslim he would approve' and hope the sufism Islam Malaysia preach the same message. However, his 12th tweets approved the killing by quoted "angry people kill". If he would to refer the Algerian war between 1954 to 1962 then it has got nothing to do with religion or angry. 

Refer to the YouTube video above. This may be the reason why Mahathir would quote "angry people kill" because Muslim always hallucinate of having 'priveledged immunity' and cultivated to belief Islam is absolutely right (and intolerance to people from others religion) thus easily being radicalised and commit violence in the name of Allah/Islam. 

Another possibility for Mahathir disagreed Muslim for the killing might because showing of caricature of Mohammed is not blasphemy in the past. China CCTV proven that. However, Muslim radicalism is beyond what between permissible. in general Muslim are instill with the notion to eliminate all non-muslim (disbeliever of Islam).

I totally disagree with him on his 3rd tweet. It is as if he had forgotten May13 incident where Chief of Armed Force Tunku Osman Jiwa and Inspector General Police Salleh bin Ismael order 'shoot-to-kill order' to 2,000 Royal Malay Regiment army and 3,600 police to kill innocent Malaysian Chinese. 

Thereafter the massacre, NEP (New Economy Policy) was introduced to exacerbate the situation that systematically marginalizing minority ethnic (mostly Malaysian Chinese&Indian) in almost all aspect of life. 

Article: Prior attempt to kill non-muslim. 

Not sure May13 massacre was a pre-planned or not but it does coincide with Quran 9:29 and Hadith Sahih 19:4294 perfectly. 

Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued

Sahih Muslim (19:4294) - "Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war... When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them."

All the police and army deployed under the shoot-to-kill order were Muslim. Not only no prosecution them thereafter the massacre (as if killing people is OK) but NEP or jizya were introduced to levy on non-muslim (as defined by article 160- Constitution).

NEP has been ongoing for 51 years and still haunting Malaysia minority ethnics (non-muslim). If only his tweet 7th refer to this but less likely so. 

Hence, Malay/Muslim is not sensitive but oppressive and only stop violence because the non-muslim is paying jizya (NEP) as per Quran 9:29. However, non-muslim have to be sensitive because our life is at stake! 

Mahathir's 10th tweet is applicable for himself when he was Prime Minister of Malaysia.

His 4th, 8th & 9th tweets about copying west clothing and becoming wearing less. It seems like either he just born yesterday or he is alien to Malaysia because the reality is just opposite. 

Malay barely wear anything (probably topless and totally naked) prior to Srivijaya era. Sarong were introduced by the Indian. Likewise, the Orang Asli and indigenous people of Borneo(East Malaysia) were largely naked prior to the arrival of westerners. It is the west (especially the industrialization) that introduce modern clothing to Malaysia and make clothing affordable. 

Without Indian, Chinese and The west introduced more proper clothing to Malay, indigenous of Borneo (also Austronesian, share same ancestor with Malay) and Orang Asli (Negritos, Proto-Malay), they probably still naked living in the jungle. Nevertheless, how much clothing to put on or nude is individual freedom. 

Nudity as indecency bylaw is influenced by culture and religious beliefs politician want people to believe they having! 

Being nude is not wrong morally if it does not cause harm to anyone. How Muslim perceive it as consent for rape is a matter of self-control they obviously lack of. 

Malay didn't wear hijab in the 80's. Hijab is a relatively new trend as Islamism becoming more aggressive. 

Arrival of westerner bring civilization and more clothing to Malay. 

Borneo women were naked. If it is tradition then what's wrong? Isn't it is the west following our traditional fashion?

Women don't wear hijab

The west naked on beach, we were naked everywhere we go. The west is following our forefathers trend, aren't they?

Frequent terrorist attack by Islamist Jihadist prompted France& affected countries to impose safety measure such as no face cover (no burqa) unless for health reason e.g. covid. 

France didn't stop Islam country like Iran to impose rule for wearing hijab so where come the force others? France only impose rules in their own country for the safety of their people. 

Negritos migrated to Malaya and Borneo from Africa directly >65,000 years ago. 

Austronesian (Malay ancestor) migration route to Malaya only 3,500 years ago. 

For Mahathir's 5th & 6th tweets, please don't forget, Malay is not the first people arrived in Malaya or Borneo, it is the Negritos (orang asli). Did Malay ask their permission to land? Did Malay get permission before alter the land? In fact, not only orang asli did not enjoy the special privileges allocated only for the Malay but their rights also being denied. Constantly being force to convert to Islam. 

If his 5th tweet's late comer refer to Malaysia minority ethnics (Malaysian chinese& Indian mostly non-muslim) then he is right because if more Chinese and Indian would to migrate earlier then Malaysia would probably more develop now. 

New ideas, science&technology and hardship invested in Malaysia by these LATER comer (that can be trace more than 5 generation and as early as year 1400) contributed most of Malaysia economy development despite being minority. 

Muslim tend to be misogyny, narrow minded and not open to new ideas and changes probably due to the edicts of Islam caliph that Quran can not be change. The intolerance, misogyny, inflexible& xenophobia(treat non-muslim as foreigners/enemy) nature of Islam may lead to Muslim resistance to the new ideas. 

Nonetheless, some verses of Quran were abrogated and replaced by Mohammed himself. This proof that Quran is not evergreen and it can be changed. It was Caliph Othman that prevent further amendment of Quran in afraid of dispute that lead to bloodshed within Muslim at that time because there's several version of Quran emerged and authenticity is hard to confirm. 

Mahathir 5th &6th Tweet, Not wrong to say men&women are physically different but it is this differences that should empower women to defense for themselves through universal suffrage and adequate representation in Parliament, especially in this region where men are apathy. 

Democracy always care for the voiceless and upholding the principle of equality. He don't seems to understand what is democracy and human rights. 

Mahathir's tweet 10th overtly deny France sovereignty and disrespect to freedom of religious beliefs. It is freedom of religion that French can have freedom of choice to belief whichever religion or not to belief any at all (atheist). 

This is exemplary for freedom of believe and faith in a democratic country Malaysia should follow. This freedom is guaranteed by France Constitution that we all should respect their sovereignty right, especially it is a very good law. 

Since it is a law, France should enforce it so that everyone enjoy the freedom. Those who disrespect freedom of others shall not be respected in return.

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help." 

Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". 

Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks." 

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them." 

Quran (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness." 

There are over hundreds of violence verses in Quran and Hadith Muslim obligated to follow. All these are risk and threat to society (especially for non-muslim) and not just because of one or two killing incident by the Muslim. Thus, not wrong to say 'Islam is in crisis' because it is what the book (Islamic teaching) translating in real life. 

Mahathir 11th tweet about the killing "is not keeping with the teaching of islam", is not accurate because it is indeed within Islam teaching to kill for those committed besphemy (although the definition of besphemy maybe open) or just any non-muslim (disbeliever to Islam). 

Probably, the Islam Mahathir understood in his life is not what the Islam original value or maybe he is just being an apologist to disassociate Islam for the crime committed. 

This is preposterous because Islam is base on Quran and Quran is violence. Reaction from Muslim worldwide also endorsed the crime is Islamic. 

Thus, Who is disrespecting others value& religion? 

There is no law in France prohibit Muslim from their religious practices as long as it does not break the law. 

In which area France is disrespecting others value? 

Everyone is free to practice their religion in the West. Unlike Malaysia where non-muslim is bind by conditions and receiving unequal treatment despite contributed the most. 

If Malaysia respect freedom of religious believe then Article 160 of Malaysia constitution should not bind Malay to Islam and afforded special privileges to Malay under article 153. 

The existence of law is for public order and peace. If anyone can kill people as they wish then what law is for? 

Normally, parent complain to principal about discrimination. In extreme case report to police. There's many avenue in France to let his grievances heard. Glorify killing is akin to inducing more terrorism. 

Emmamuel Macron is not primitive, he is civilize since he pathway for legal recourse for all people disregard race &religion thus he is also not anti-islam because law apply to all. 

Algerian war is not as a result of angry French. The war is not related to religion. Is Mahathir trying to confuse people worldwide that French had killed many Muslim thus it is OK to kill French in return? 

Angry because French kill many Muslim in the past? 

He don't even know basic rules of law. Should his children and grandchildren be prosecuted for his cronyism, corruption& squandering public money? Of course no, unless they too involved. 

So why French people have to be punish for their grandfather/ancestor killing? 

Furthermore, it was war, killing is inevitable. He should not compare religion and colonization. Nature of colonization is to extract resources and profit from it. Whereas religion is for mental& spiritual growth and social well-being. No others religion other than Islam ask to kill or persecute others. This is the different between islam and others religion. 

What sort of punishment Mahathir think fit for the French? 

I would suggest French to erect a friendship monuments to express regret on the lost from both sides due to the war. 

Should Malay be punish for their crime in May13 massacre? 

If yes, how? 

I would rather Malaysia King and Prime Minister officially apologize to victim of May13 massacre and minority that suffering from unequal treatment due to NEP, as well as, abolish the foolish article 153 (special privileges) and article 160 (Malay definition). We don't want to kill Malay (they are our friend), we just want dignity and equality.

Mahathir words(if indeed his) is misleading& dangerous. As MP represent Langkawi, he shall be accountable for his words. He is not commoner. his word bring impact and may cause real damage as he is financially and personally capable of inflicting such terrorism. He should be prosecuted and Malaysia government should come out to distance the country from his personal statement.
