Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib: The First Muslim Leader to Declare Suicide Bombing Contrary to Islam
Najib Razak, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, gave a speech at Oxford last week that should have grabbed the eye of every policymaker, every columnist, and every pundit concerned with the clash between the West and radical Islam. It was not a recitation of hoary platitudes; it was a unique and wonderful thing, the first time a Muslim leader did not merely hedge and equivocate about “Islam means peace,” or “Islam does not abide terror,” or any of the other dozens of things Muslim leaders all too often say in front of Western audiences, only to attempt to appease their populations at home with the usual train of death-to-Israel, death-to-America, glory-in-martyrdom talk in a language American reporters can’t follow.
It was a great speech, precisely because it got down into specifics.

Bro HL,
Noone doubts that Najib can give a great speech.
Yes, kudos to him for speaking out against Suicide Bombing.
What is at stake here is that Najib is ALL talk & NO action!
Najib also talked about "moderattion".
When he keeps quite with the likes of Utusan & PERKASA, then who's going to believe him?
And don't tell me he can't do anything about Utusan & PERKASA either. One word from the PM for them to tow the line & they will shut-up!
All I can say is that he's giving his tacit approval to them to keep up their trash diatribes?!
As I said, he was turing the tide for BN & UMNO just a few months ago but now...?!
