| Muslims Should Blame Themselves for Their Problems Today, Says Dr Mahathir |
|
IUM, 16. February 2008. – Many of the crises faced by Muslims and the Muslim world were largely due to their own fault, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said today. The former Malaysian prime minister said crises were not something new to the Muslim world, as they existed since the Quran began to be interpreted in many ways by different groups. “I would like to insist that the fault lies on ourselves. We are the people to be blamed, letting ourselves split by so many sects and different interpretations of the Quran,” Dr Mahathir said in his keynote address on “Global Peace: Crisis in the Muslim World” at the International Islamic University (IIUM), Gombak. The event was held in conjunction with the university’s Ummah unity week. Source: Bernama (By R.
