Full story follows--interesting that he denies Bush told him off, like the liars in the White House claim.

Oct. 21, 2003 | BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- An unrepentant Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad shrugged off criticism from President Bush and repeated his charge that Jews control the world -- adding that he's worried about Christian fundamentalists in the Bush administration as well.
But Mahathir said his remarks last week at a summit in Malaysia of Islamic countries had been taken out of context, noting that in his speech he had urged Israelis and Arabs to stop killing one another.
"In my speech I condemned all violence, even the suicide bombings, and I told the Muslims it's about time we stopped all these things and paused to think and do something that is much more productive," he said in an interview with the Bangkok Post published Tuesday. "That was the whole tone of my speech, but they picked up one sentence."
