The UN Secretary General tells the West to address the grievances of Muslims:
"We must unite our efforts to address the extremism that is, alas, on the rise, not only in Islam but among many faiths," said Annan, who withdrew from the summit after the Iraq (news - web sites) issue was taken back to the UN Security Council.He said Western governments must match their rhetoric of respect for human freedom with action to promote development, including a fair world trading system.
Okay ... we should therefore try a dialogue with this Muslim leader:
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Thursday told a summit of Islamic leaders that "Jews rule the world by proxy" and the world's 1.3 billion Muslims should unite, using nonviolent means for a "final victory." ...The prime minister, who has turned his country into the world's 17th-ranked trading nation during his 22 years in power, said Jews "invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy" to avoid persecution and gain control of the most powerful countries.
Mahathir added that "1.3 billion Muslims cannot be defeated by a few million Jews," but he suggested using political and economic tactics instead of violence. ...
The leaders gave Mahathir a standing ovation afterward.
Does anyone still remember the last time in history that a world leader blamed Jews for all their problems and promised them "final victory"? Did negotiation with that world leader save lives, or did it cost the world 50 million people dead? Didn't we say "never again"?? Is Kofi Annan bucking for the Neville Chamberlain Sleepwalker Award?
