If there was ever a thread that should not have been written on Twitter, it’s this one from Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia. Folks, we read a LOT of ugly and horrible stuff, it’s just part of what we do, and even WE were shocked at the ugliness and grossness of this thread.
Take a look.
RESPECT OTHERS
1. A teacher in France had his throat slit by an 18-year-old Chechen boy. The killer was angered by the teacher showing a caricature of Prophet Muhammad. The teacher intended to demonstrate freedom of expression.

Respect others?
Hrm.
You know, killing people is pretty damn disrespectful but you do you, Mahathir.
2. The killing is not an act that as a Muslim I would approve. But while I believe in the freedom of expression, I do not think it includes insulting other people. You cannot go up to a man and curse him simply because you believe in freedom of speech.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
Everything after ‘but’ should be removed.
3. In Malaysia, where there are people of many different races and religions, we have avoided serious conflicts between races because we are conscious of the need to be sensitive to the sensitivities of others. If we are not, then this country would never be peaceful and stable.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
In Malaysia, we live in fear so the terrorists don’t kill us.
Fixed it for him.
4. We often copy the ways of the West. We dress like them, we adopt their political systems, even some of their strange practices. But we have our own values, different as between races and religions, which we need to sustain.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
Because in the West we don’t respect differences in race and religion?
Alrighty then.
5. The trouble with new ideas is that the late comers tend to add new interpretations. These are not what the originators intended. Thus, freedom for women, meant the right to vote in elections. Today, we want to eliminate everything that is different between men and women.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
HOOboy.
6. Physically we are different. This limits our capacity to be equal. We have to accept these differences and the limitations that are placed on us. Our value systems is also a part of human rights.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
7. Yes, sometimes some values seem to be inhuman. They cause some people to suffer. We need to reduce the sufferings.
But not by force, if the resistance is great.— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
8. The dress code of European women at one time was severely restrictive. Apart from the face no part of the body was exposed. But over the years, more and more parts of the body are exposed.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
Wait a second … is he really talking about how a woman dresses?
Dude.
Today a little string covers the most secret place, that’s all. In fact, many in the west are totally naked when on certain beaches.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
Oh FFS.
9. The West accepts this as normal. But the West should not try to forcibly impose this on others. To do so is to deprive the freedom of these people.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
Sorry but a woman wearing a g-string because she WANTS TO is not the West imposing its ideas on others.
10. Generally, the west no longer adhere to their own religion. They are Christians in name only. That is their right. But they must not show disrespect for the values of others, for the religion of others. It is a measure of the level of their civilisation to show this respect.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
You know the face you make when someone says something so stupid you’re not sure if they’re joking? Yup, just made that face.
11. Macron is not showing that he is civilised. He is very primitive in blaming the religion of Islam and Muslims for the killing of the insulting school teacher. It is not in keeping with the teachings of Islam.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
They killed in the name of Allah.
But irrespective of the religion professed, angry people kill. The French in the course of their history has killed millions of people. Many were Muslims.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
ANGRY PEOPLE DON’T CHOP OTHER’S HEADS OFF OVER A DAMN CARTOON.
12. Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
Ummm … no.
But by and large the Muslims have not applied the “eye for an eye” law. Muslims don’t. The French shouldn’t. Instead the French should teach their people to respect other people’s feelings.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
Seriously?
13. Since you have blamed all Muslims and the Muslims’ religion for what was done by one angry person, the Muslims have a right to punish the French. The boycott cannot compensate the wrongs committed by the French all these years.https://t.co/ysZeXDrQ09

Sit down.
So many times.
Women should only be allowed to leave the kitchen to vote is one hell of a take https://t.co/ICgxzDxMip

The whole THING is one Hell of a take.
What a POS. Where are you @jack? https://t.co/2OhM0SlnIz

He’s busy making sure conservatives don’t say mean things about Hunter Biden.
Duh.
Chilling. Let’s see what the cultural relativists and self-haters say about this #NiceAttack https://t.co/8dxJQ7AWOT

I'm pretty sure that's incitement to violence. https://t.co/WWsr7bkkTO

It was not done 'by an angry person'. It was done by a fundamentalist. They're called fundamentalists because they carry out the fundament divine mandate of your pathetic bronze aged beliefs. https://t.co/JOKN0sSDQX

How much venom does this 95 year old man have? And, senility is no justification for this glorification of terrorism @TwitterAPI ACT https://t.co/BLUCFBrGY7

If only those French people would stop trying to live their lives and think for themselves.
Sheesh.
