After the bloody attack in Nice in France, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad unleashed a wide wave of anger with a tweet he posted on his Twitter account saying that “Muslims have the right to kill millions of French” , prompting Twitter to remove the tweet.
A Tunisian from Italy attacked a church in Nice, southern France, where the attacker killed at least one of them.
Shortly after the attack, Mahathir Mohamad, who was prime minister until his government collapsed in February, released a series of unknown tweets. Referring to the beheading of a French professor in a Paris suburb, he said he does not condone this attack, but that freedom of expression does not include “insulting other people.”
Mahathir, who has served as Malaysian prime minister twice in a total of 24 years, said French President Emmanuel Macron “does not appear to be civilized”, adding that he is “very primitive.”
He continued: “The French should teach their people to respect the feelings of others. Since you have held all Muslims and their religion responsible for what an angry person has done, Muslims have the right to punish the French. boycott cannot make up for the mistakes the French made all these years. “
Initially, “Twitter” tagged Mahathir’s tweet about “killing millions of Frenchmen” to warn that he was “glorifying violence”, but did not delete it, except that he deleted it entirely after a short time.
