Among other problems, Boykin's theo-babble muddies the waters of moral outrage over the latest rantings by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, whose mouth is like a radio station where the anti-Semitic golden oldies never stop. Jews "rule the world by proxy." They "invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong." (Figure that one out!) The media don't report his criticism of Muslims, he explained, because Jews control the media. And so on. In fact, until the last outburst, Mahathir got great press as a supposedly moderate...

...terror. But they were followed by bitter disappointment. Shortly after Tohir and Ismail were nabbed, says National Police chief detective Erwin Mappaseng, two bigger fish got away through a maze of small alleys in Bandung.

Apparently, the two Malaysians got wind of the earlier arrests-and disappeared. When police searched the Bandung boarding house, they discovered six small bombs. Says one officer: "Azahari is obsessed...

Exit The Strong Man MALAYSIA Pugnacious Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad stepped down last week after 22 years in office and, as ever, the 77-year-old went out swinging.

...violence is being promoted, and that there are activists associated with the school who have contacts to terrorist groups." But parents claim the terrorism allegations are a mask for the government's real motive: to stop the influx of Muslims, especially Arabs, into Bonn. "We are deeply offended," says Mohamad Ayesh Abul-Ola, 52, a Palestinian who has lived in Germany for more than 20 years and sends his kids to King Fahd. "People just want to be able to send their children to an Arab school to have contact with Arabian culture." The King Fahd Academy is a Saudi...

Last week, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad proved himself a vicious anti-Semite during a meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference. He pronounced proudly that “The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12, but today the Jews rule the world by proxy…they get others to fight and die for them.” I guess we shouldn’t be surprised by Mohamad’s remarks. After all, his speech was greeted by a standing ovation, and universal acclaim by conference attendees. What should really frighten us, however...
