Hate speech is not considered freedom of speech. Calling for violence or genocide is not considered freedom of speech

If this thread is Mahathir repackaging his Asian values argument for the year 2020, I am not buying it, even if it were on sale with a free gift (not even a mug) https://t.co/RBTMoYSZyl

RESPECT OTHERS
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
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.
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
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
7. Yes, sometimes some values seem to be inhuman. They cause some people to suffer. We need to reduce the sufferings.
— Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) October 29, 2020
But not by force, if the resistance is great.
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
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
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
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
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
