	Protest Against Anti-Semitism Petition
		We, the undersigned, deplore and condemn the outrageous anti-Semitic diatribe contained in the speech by the Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad to the Organization of Islamic States Conference on October 10, 2003.
		We, the undersigned, recognize that Mahathir Mohammad's vilification of the Jewish people is one more and dramatic example of how today's global climate of discourse has made it possible for unabashed Jew-bashing to be expressed with impunity -- with terrible potential consequences -- because it hasn't been nipped in the bud.
		We, the undersigned, deeply regret the absence of a strong, global rejection and refutation of Mahathir’s ugly remarks.

		Mahathir's relationship with Australia (the closest country in the Anglosphere to Malaysia, and the one whose foreign policy is most concentrated on the region), and his relationship with Australia's political leaders, has been particularly rocky.

		Harus Mahathir memandang ke dalam dirinya bahawasanya dia bukan seorang cendekiawan budaya yang berpendidikan ilmiah untuk melayakkan diri menentukan apa ciri-ciri Melayu Baru yang patut orang Melayu terapkan.
		Apa yang dilihat sekarang, Mahathir Mohammad adalah seorang penjenayah, penghasut, pemfitnah, kaki betina, perasuah terulung negara, kaki ugut, kaki gertak, perosak ugama Islam dengan fatwa sekular mengikut hukum akalnya.
		Mahathir sendiri adalah seorang pemimpin UMNO “Baru” nya yang menggubal dasar-dasar yang menyebabkan orang Melayu (puak UMNO Barunya) bertukar sikap menjadi “golongan terpelajar tetapi tidak berpendidikan”, “bersemangat tetapi ditekan”, “berani tetapi diugut-momokkan”, “sanggup menghadapi cabaran tetapi dipenjara”, “kuat pegangan kepada Islam tetapi di sekularkan”, “menerap nilai Islam tetapi TIDAK amanah.

		The Mahathir years were an uninterrupted saga of rising incomes and living standards, development of a world-class technical and managerial cadre, and integration of different ethnic groups in a viable tapestry of national life.
		When Mahathir recently blamed international Jewry at the OIC summit for setting the West against the Muslim world and making the West fight Muslims on behalf of the Jews, he was condemned by the US Department of State, and Italy raised the issue at a European Union meeting proposing denunciation of the remarks.

	[No title]
		Mahathir's governing ideology, which considerably galvanised the majority Malay community, should not be confused with his abrasive political style, a style that had on several occasions won him international recognition and on others led to his alienation from the West.
		Above all, Mahathir alienated a sizable section of the Malay community itself by the manner in which he dismissed Anwar Ibrahim, who rose to be his political challenger, from the post of Deputy Prime Minister in 1998.
		During the later years of Mahathir's rule, the PAS was able not only to capitalise on the `sympathy' for Anwar but also to champion the `cause' of political Islam, which was projected to be under `threat' from `globalisation'.

		Mahathir denounced the behavior of would-be martyrs as "irresponsible and un-Islamic acts" — a characterization that brought him to the very brink of what is acceptable speech at a Muslim summit.
		Mahathir's regime has its thuggish and deplorable apects, which are not to be condoned, but it also has been a relatively stable and prosperous one and has shown some willingness to cooperate internationally- (this, I take it, was Krugman's basic point).
		Mahathir made an awful anti-semetic speech, but it was made for a carefully designed purpose, and as a cover for other criticisms of Islamic fundamentalism.

	Islam Watch - "Medic Mahathir - Right Diagnosis, Wrong Prescription!" by Alamgir Hussain
		Mahathir Mohammad, the Malaysian Prime Minister, has long been deemed a lone but persistent voice of reasons amongst the leaderships in the Muslim world.
		This is where Dr Mahathir has always stood apart from other Muslim leaders who have either failed to identify or sought to ignore the need or urgency for addressing these critical issues, which is clearly evident in their words as well as in actions.
		A few such speeches by Dr Mahathir can quickly make the fanatics arrive at the conclusion that he indeed is the same Imam Mehedi and with every instigatory comment he makes may inspire those fanatics in great numbers to explode leading to a grave disaster.
