Another case of Wall Street using "Islamists" to attack and undermine their opponents. They want Anwar Ibrahim back in power and are doing anything and everything in their power to undermine Malaysia's current government. Please note that Malaysia's "Islamist" party is part of IMF's Anwar Ibrahim's political coalition.
