Tun Dr. Mahathir, a medical doctor and scientist as well as one of the Islamic world's most successful and prominent statesmen, with 22 years as premier of his country, noted that Islam teaches its followers to acquire knowledge, and that at one time Muslims led the world in scientific pursuits. "But halfway through the building of the great Islamic civilization came new interpreters of Islam who taught that acquisition of knowledge by Muslims meant only the study of Islamic theology. The study of science, medicine etc was discouraged. Intellectually the Muslims began to regress. With intellectual regression the great Muslim civilization began to falter and wither." This was his main delivered points in this article.

Tun Dr. Mahathir cheered the OIC by predicting that "1.3 billion Muslims cannot be defeated by a few million Jews". In the main, Tun Dr.Mahathir's speech to his fellow Muslim leaders was a scathing criticism of their failure to modernize, improve the living conditions of their own people, and resist attacks by the non-Muslim world including Jews on Muslim states and the Islamic religion, in word and indeed.

Remarks in the speech about how Jews "have become a world power", though laced with harsh words difficult to misinterpret, backed up his plea to fellow Muslims to think and plan their own revival as a great civilization. Besides, Dr Mahathir Mohamad could not restrain himself from resurrecting vile invectives, innuendo and outright lies taken straight from classic anti-Semitic propaganda.

Finally, This article shows that Tun Dr. Mahathir is clear to the world that the power team invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power.

After reading this speech I feel proud of Dr. Mahathir. I am very happy because he is a Malaysian with great vision and mission.
