PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Western news agencies had deliberately selected certain quotes from the Prime Minister’s opening speech of the OIC Summit and presented them in a way that portrayed Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad as anti-Semitic. 

“Apparently, they had failed to understand that Dr Mahathir was only telling the Muslims that they can also be as advanced as others if they know how to use their brainpower,” the Deputy Prime Minister said when commenting on wire reports that Dr Mahathir had called Muslims to be united against the Jews who were ruling the world by proxy.
