Dr.Mahathir urges Muslims to use oil as weapon MALACCA -- Oil should be used as a weapon to protect the interests of Muslims, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Thursday. At the opening of a local Islamic convention, Dr Mahathir said: 'If we reduce oil output, prices will rise. It can be used as a weapon to protect the interest of Muslims.' Malaysia is due to take over the chairmanship of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Conference next year, and Dr Mahathir, 76, will chair the OIC summit meeting in Kuala Lumpur next October. 'Oil is the only thing Muslim nations have which is needed by the rest of the world. If they can cut back on supply, people will not be oppressive on them,' he said. 'When we are weak, we will be exploited. We are now seeing worldwide Muslims are being exploited. 'To avoid exploitation, we must be strong. If we have oil, it can be used as a weapon.' Referring to the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Dr Mahathir added: 'Opec should control the price of oil but there is no unity in Opec. When the oil price goes up, there are other nations that increase output.' -- AFP
