Dr. Mahathir (Prime Minister of Malaysia) slams US after deputy frisked at airport KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia accused the United States of 'anti-Muslim hysteria' on Tuesday after it was revealed that the Deputy Prime Minister had to remove his shoes for a security check on arrival in Los Angeles. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, 76, told reporters: 'Of course I'm upset -- I'm not a thief, I'm not a terrorist. 'There is already general anti-Muslim hysteria. Because of the acts of a few people, the whole Muslim world seems to have been labelled as they have to be checked to ensure that they are not terrorists.' His comments came a day after ruling party lawmaker Zulhasnan Rafique revealed that DPM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had to remove his shoes and belt during a security check in Los Angeles last month as he headed for New York to address the United Nations general assembly. Datuk Abdullah, however, downplayed the incident. 'I was going through a metal detector and suddenly the alarm went off and I had to take off my shoes,' he told reporters on Tuesday. 'But in other places there was no noise and I did not have to take off my shoes.' A spokesman for the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur said the incident was being investigated and a statement would be issued soon. He said: 'It is not something we were aware of prior to it coming up in question time in Parliament yesterday, so there were no complaints that I am aware of prior to that.' The DPM revealed after his trip that Washington had placed Malaysia on a list of 15 states considered to be 'terrorist-risk' countries, and that he had raised the issue in talks with Vice-President Dick Cheney. Datuk Abdullah said: 'I stressed in my meeting with Cheney that we don't like this profiling. We don't like to be branded as a terrorist state or as people with links with terrorists.' News of the incident shared front-page coverage on Tuesday with an announcement by the US embassy here of tighter requirements for entry to the US which could cause delays for Malaysian citizens. -- AFP
