they are all united agaisnt IMPERIALIST NOT sinhal modaya

Muslim-on-Muslim ‘murder’ keeps US and Israel happy, says Dr M

CYBERJAYA, Jan 24 ― Muslims are doing the US and Israel a favour every time they kill one of their own, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today as he called for unity among Islam’s followers to push for global recognition of a Palestinian state.
He said Muslims today are too preoccupied with revenge and killing each other over ideological differences, that they have forgotten that the Quran calls for brotherhood among all the faithful.
“Currently we are trying to bring down governments, we are fighting each other, and we are accusing each other of not being Islamic enough, just so that we can murder them.
“Every time a Muslim kills another Muslim, the Israelis and Americans cheer because we are doing their work for them. We should realise that and stop fighting each other,” he said in his keynote address at the launch of a US$1 billion (RM3.6 billion) fund raiser to rebuild Gaza.
Dr Mahathir, long a critic of US foreign policy, claimed that the Muslim world in its current state of disunity is unable to counter the West’s “hypocrisy of the highest order” in dealing with terrorism and human rights.
He accused Israel and its western backers of being “state terrorists” responsible for the killing of 200,000 Palestinians, describing it as a far worse act of terrorism compared to the deadly attack on French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo earlier this month.
The retired prime minister, however, said that the Muslim world lacks the military prowess to match their oppressors and instead need to broaden their diplomatic clout to pressure Israel and its allies to end the siege on Gaza.
Dr Mahathir said there has been a “change of heart” among some former supporters of Israel in Europe, and urged Muslims to do all they can to convince their new “friends” to help further the cause for Palestine.
“If our objective is to fight for freedom for the Palestinians, for the people of Gaza and for Islam, we should avoid fighting each other. We should unite in order to struggle for this objective.
“And the objective cannot be won unless we have a strategy, unless we have a plan. It is not about revenge, it is not an eye for an eye, it is not about one man’s murder to be atoned by another man’s murder.
“We are not here to take revenge, we are here to unite and to struggle for the freedom of the people of Gaza, Palestine and in fact, the Muslim world,” he said.
