Hey Brits. It’s time to admit that your society has developed a festering disease that can only get worse. Just when you think that idiocy can’t possibly get any worse, something comes along to push it to never dreamed of heights. Muslim urged to shun 'unholy' vaccines
.
Quote:A MUSLIM doctors’ leader has provoked an outcry by urging British Muslims not to vaccinate their children against diseases such as measles, mumps and rubella because it is “un-Islamic”.
Dr Abdul Majid Katme, head of the Islamic Medical Association, is telling Muslims that almost all vaccines contain products derived from animal and human tissue, which make them “haram”, or unlawful for Muslims to take.
Islam permits only the consumption of halal products, where the animal has had its throat cut and bled to death while God’s name is invoked. [<i>And isn't that just the pinnacle of enlightenment... —ed</i>] ...
His warning has been criticised by the Department of Health and the British Medical Association, who said Katme risked increasing infections ranging from flu and measles to polio and diphtheria in Muslim communities.
Katme, a psychiatrist who has worked in the National Health Service for 15 years, wields influence as the head of one of only two national Islamic medical organisations as well as being a member of the Muslim Council of Britain. Moderate Muslims are concerned at the potential impact because other Islamic doctors will have to confirm vaccines are derived from animal and human products. ...
He argued that leading “Islamically healthy lives” would be enough to ward off illnesses and diseases.
“You see, God created us perfect and with a very strong defence system. If you breast-feed your child for two years — as the Koran says — and you eat Koranic food like olives and black seed, and you do ablution each time you pray, then you will have a strong defence system,” he said.
Oh yeah. Let’s remember also that “Dr” Katme represents that world renowned, widely respected “Islamic Medical Association”. They have a long and storied history of contributions to medical science which would include rattling bones and speaking in tongues to cure a wide array of aliments, pushing pins into dolls that bear the likeness of the infirmed and burning at the stake to purge the victim of evil spirits.
This basically screams out how utterly backward and dangerous an ideology can be if it remains hopelessly mired in an obstinate refusal to leave behind the Dark Ages.
