Mahathir and Musharraf are speaking of the same Jew.

Dr. Pipes had tried to contrast the reaction of Mahathir over the role of a Jew, George Soros, with the comments of Pakistani President Parvez Musharraf while address American Jewish Congress. In essence, both were speaking of the same Jews. Only their experience with Jews got reflected in their starkly different reactions. It shows Muslims world-wide are not pathologically anti-Jews; though claim the right to call a spade a spade. Neither Mahathir is anti-semite nor Masharraf is pro-Jewish. Both are pro their own immediate interests and do not necessarily represent fully the interest of the Muslim world at this point of time.
