Muslims urged to ‘unite against Jews’

THE biggest summit of Islamic leaders in three years opened yesterday with calls for the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims to unite against “a few million Jews” who allegedly rule the world and get others to fight and die for them.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said Muslims for years mistakenly believed that Islam rejected new technology and progress.

He urged Muslims worldwide to ignore teachings by religious fundamentalists that scientific studies were “un-Islamic”.
