Malaysia’s Mahathir urges American Muslims to vote for Kerry. Kerry disassociates himself from it and pretends it isn’t happening.
(my bolding)
…
‘Vote Bush out of office,’ Dr Mahathir Mohamad said in an open letter dated Oct 15 to America’s Muslim community. ‘It is truly an ibadah (act of devotional worship) that you perform.’
…
‘There is an obvious connection between the sufferings of the Muslims and the policies and thinking of Bush,’ the letter said.
…
Dr Mahathir, who retired last October but remains a respected figure in the Islamic world, said Muslims have ‘a duty to ensure Bush will not be able to determine our fate for four more years’.‘Bush has shown that despite his protests, he is the cause of the tragedies in Afghanistan, Palestine and Iraq,’ he said.
‘I would like to appeal to you, the Muslim citizens and voters of America, to be united and to cast your votes against Bush, in the name of justice, in the name of Islam.’
…
However, Mr Kerry’s aides insisted the Democratic candidate ‘rejects any association’ with the Malaysian ex-premier, whom they called ‘an avowed anti-Semite whose views are totally deplorable’.Dr Mahathir retired last year mired in a controversy after telling a summit of Muslim leaders that ‘Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them’.
The remarks drew condemnation from Western leaders.
