News and Commentary on Politics, Media and Culture

Bookworm wrote about a blog she had come across; so I decided to go over and give it a read. The Blog is called the Secularist Atheist Army.

Here are some of the things she has briefly wrote about:

British police had to be called to Rotherham General Hospital because Psychiatrist Eltigani Adam Hammad, a physician on staff there, went into a rant about how he supported terrorists and those who do not support al Qaeda, et. al., will eventually get theirs. Moreover his rants were at morning prayers held at the hospital.

Just so I have this straight; the Brits are allowing prayer services for Muslims at the hospitals in which they are employed and some radical Islamists feel safe and comfortable enough to threaten both their fellow countrymen and the Americans out loud at these prayer services. The Brits better get a handle on this, soon.

Here is an excerpt from British news about Muslim medical students who are picking and choosing not only what they want to learn, but also who they will treat:

Some Muslim medical students are refusing to attend lectures or answer exam questions on alcohol-related or sexually transmitted diseases because they claim it offends their religious beliefs.

Some trainee doctors say learning to treat the diseases conflicts with their faith, which states that Muslims should not drink alcohol and rejects sexual promiscuity.

A small number of Muslim medical students have even refused to treat patients of the opposite sex. One male student was prepared to fail his final exams rather than carry out a basic examination of a female patient.

The religious objections by students have been confirmed by the British Medical Association (BMA) and General Medical Council (GMC), which both stressed that they did not approve of such actions.

There is another article in the Daily Mail that is similar but adds the refusal to learn about alcoholism.

The British school administration ought to kick them out on their keesters and tell them to choose another profession.

In other British news:

Those serving the British army have to pay for their own uniforms; however the MoD has decided that it shall supply Hijabs for female Muslim troops. The Sun reported that there are only ten Muslim women serving and all have declined the free Hijab, but the MoD is purchasing 95, at the taxpayers expense, in the event that new recruits want them.

Drop by the Secularist’s blog; it is entertaining, a bit depressing, but well worth the read.
