The civilized world has seen the results of such violent rhetoric in the past. In this regard, Dr. Mahathir's reference to the Holocaust was a desecration of the memory of six million innocent victims of anti-Semitism. Dr. Mahathir's speech brought no honor to himself nor to those in attendance. We call on right-thinking people and countries, both in the Muslim world and outside of it, to utterly condemn the invocation of the same anti-Semitic ideas which led to the worst case of mass murder in human history.
