Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has the solution for helping Islam cast off its image as a religion of terrorists – acquire kick-ass weapons.
I guess once they have these weapons, they are no longer “terrorists” but rather “soldiers”.Mr Mahathir told an international conference of young Muslim leaders here that they must catch up with Western development to “prevent Islam from being humiliated, looked down upon and regarded as a religion of terrorists.”
“We need modern weapons. We need tanks, battleships, fighter planes, knowledge of rockets. These are the weapons that can strike fear into the hearts of our enemies and defend us.”
