Malaysia Calls for an End to 'Islamophobia'
2005-06-21
Malaysia yesterday called for an end to widespread "Islamophobia", saying stereotyping and prejudice against Muslims risked sparking off large-scale conflicts.
"You know we can't control ourselves, so just relax and ignore us..."
Allan mainly helps those who can't help themselves.
"Worldwide, the image of Islam...has suffered primarily as a result of a perception of association with extremism, radicalism and poverty," Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar told a seminar.
With the exception of a few commies, most of the world's extremists, radicals, and cesspools of poverty are Islamic. The more Islamic they are, the more extreme and radical they are, though I'll admit some of the most extreme and radical sit on large pools of oil which provide a temporary wealth.
"Islamophobia is a problem. I think we need to handle and tackle it appropriately," he said, adding it needed to be "stopped dead in its tracks" to ensure "large-scale conflagration among and within societies does not occur."
The way to stop it dead in its tracks is to hunt down and slaughter the headchoppers, acid tossers, gunnies, snuffies, hard boyz, and assorted holy men. That'll clear things up in a flash.
Syed Hamid said Islam continues to be distorted in the international media, and that more cross-cultural dialogues should be held to "foster deeper understanding and bridge the gap between the East and West."
We read the Islamic media, too, every chance we get. I'm trying to figure where the distortions lie...
