A healthy society cannot privilege religious belief

Press Release
Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain
10.10.07

British Universities have a public duty to immediately terminate the studies of any medical students refusing to attend lectures or answer exam questions on alcohol-related or sexually transmitted diseases. If a medic is not competent to deal with such diseases then there can be no question of that person ever becoming a doctor; it follows therefore that there is no point in training doctors with such critical gaps in their knowledge.

A healthy society cannot privilege religious belief. We do not allow vegetarian medics to turn their backs on mad-cow disease, or non-smokers on emphysema. This is an Islamist campaign to push boundaries, to undermine civil society and the universal right to health care and to discriminate on the basis of religion. It must be met with zero tolerance.

The General Medical Council and the British Medical Association should make clear that those who put their own personal beliefs before the health of patients and the public have no place in the medical profession.

    Dear Brothers and Sisters,
    Try to reason the things with reality. Islam is not as you have published. Quran is the book of truth. Mr. Personalrep1 has very wrongly interpreted the Islamic concepts. He must study Islam and raise his level of conceptualization; I hope and pray to Allah to give hidaiayah to you and save you from the Tremont of the Hour, which is approaching very near.
    We all are the creation of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful. Religion teaches us the identity of our Creator whose existence we discover with our reason. Islam is the true religion; Quran is the Allah’s Word, which he has descended on Muhammad (Peace be upon him) for the hidaiayah of people.

    Islam is a totalitarian ideology not a religion.ByLarry Houlewww.godofreason.comintermedusa@yahoo.comIslam is a declaration of war against infidels. Islam is an ideology of WAR. The Koran is a EVIL BOOK OF WAR. Allah is a GOD OF WAR. This war is permanent until all the infidels have converted, paid a submission tax or have been murdered. This is the ETERNAL LAW OF GOD AS SET DOWN IN THE KORANInfidels can be murdered by Muslims as a ETERNAL LAW OF GOD. Not only can they all be murdered but the wives and daughters of the murdered infidels can be taken as booty, raped, and then sold as slaves. Their sons can be sold into slavery. If there is any doubt as to the boy’s age of puberty – Muslims can pull down their pants and inspect their genital area for hairs. Even the slightest sign of hair growth means that these young men can be taken and beheaded. As a LAW OF GOD, Muslims can then loot and pillage the property of the murdered infidels, and must share the booty obtained from the sale of boys and women and the proceeds of looting with ALLAH. Muslims can own slaves as a LAW OF GOD. Slavery has been a central part of Islam since it’s creation by Muhammad. ALL THIS EVIL ARE THE LAWS OF GOD AS SET DOWN IN THE KORAN. Not only that but righteous Muslims who slay and are slain murdering infidels can ascend as martyrs to the evil sexually depraved Islamic Paradise of eternal hard – ons and virgins who re – generate as virgins after each sex act. THIS IS THEIR ETERNAL REWARD FOR OBEYING THESE EVIL LAWS OF GOD. Again, the above Laws of God allow murder, slavery, looting and pillaging as Laws of God and if you are killed in the process of obeying the Laws of God then ascending to a paradise of big breasted virgins to sexually molest for all eternity. God permits the raping of female slaves. Indeed in Islam – rape is not a sexual weapon – it is a weapon of war. Having murdered the woman’s man, Muslims can now – sanctioned by the law of God complete their final humiliation and domination of her body. Sex and money were powerful motivations for Muslims to grab their swords, climb on their horses and ride off into the sunset to bring war, death and destruction to the infidels.
