A former premier of Malaysia has justified the Islamic attacks in France, and even made sure to accompany his repulsive statements with petty concerns about women's dress. Breitbart reports:

Mahathir Mohamad, who until March of this year served as prime minister of Malaysia, declared on Twitter Thursday that “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.”

Mohamad, age 95, made the remark in a rant in which he called French President Emmanuel Macron “primitive,” insisted the world’s Muslims “have a right to punish the French,” and complained that women in the West do not wear enough clothing. [...]

The global Muslim community has united to condemn the French state after a Chechen terrorist beheaded a schoolteacher in the suburbs of Paris. The teacher, Samuel Paty, had shown cartoons of Mohammad, a holy figure in Islam, to his class in a lesson on freedom of expression. Paty reportedly warned students and allowed Muslim students who may be offended to skip the class. Police believe the parents of Muslim students organized to identify Paty and find someone to kill him; the French government shut down the mosque that issued a fatwa against Paty.

Prominent Muslim world leaders have almost unanimously condemned the French people for objecting to the beheading.

Mohamad, currently embroiled in a political struggle to return to power in Kuala Lumpur, published a string of thoughts on Paty’s beheading on Twitter that condemned freedom of expression, Western swimsuits, and Macron personally.

“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,” Mohamad wrote. “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,” Mohamad said.

So he's claiming infidels "cursed" them, and is using that as justification for something worse. This is abominable, as is what he said about women's clothing:

Mohamad then pivoted to the issue of women’s clothing.

“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,” Mohamad lamented. “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.”

In allowing women to wear whatever they want, including nothing at all, he continued, the West was trying “to forcibly impose this on others. To do so is to deprive the freedom of these people.”

This is repulsive and disgusting, since it makes it sound as though European women once wore hijabs, which is false. In any case, to force women to wear concealing outfits is offensive and in fact, it's insulting to God, as it decrees that the gifts the Lord gave women are abominations.
