France knife attack: Woman beheaded, two others killed at Nice church
Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad is in the inglorious company of Muhammad Sa'id Abdal-Rahman al-Mawla, the self-styled caliph of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group. This is as per a report on the world's 'most dangerous extremists' presented by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP).
Mahathir ranks 14 in the list of the world's top 20 most dangerous extremists. Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Palestinian group Hezbollah, is the most dangerous in the list. According to the report, Mahathir is anti-Semitic and a critic of the West. His remarks justifying the October 2020 terrorist attack in France seem to have hugely influenced his inclusion in the list of infamy.
