The fight against the crippling disease Polio is being hampered by, yes you guessed it, Islam. Islamic cultural and social retardation along with Islam endorsed conspiracy theories about how the Polio vaccine is some sort of ‘Jewish plot’, has prevented Polio from being completely eradicated in the same manner as Smallpox was by the early 1980’s. It is only in a small number of mostly Islamic nations and areas where Polio is still a problem. However, wiping this horrific disease out is difficult because basically, in the Islamic areas where Polio is still endemic, you are dealing with people whose culture is little more advanced than it was in the tenth century. Superstition, deranged conspiracy theories and the use of violence against ‘unbelievers’ who wish their children to be vaccinated against Polio, are common place in places like Pakistan. As we can see from today’s Pakistan shithole story, those who work to protect Pakistan’s citizens from Polio are also routinely murdered or attacked by radical Muslims.
According to a report in the Pakistan Express Tribune, a female Polio vaccination worker was injured in a knife attack in Quetta the capital of the Pakistani province of Balochistan. It is highly likely that these attackers were radical Muslims trying to stop, for their own twisted and sick reasons, children in the area from being protected from Polio.
The Pakistan Express Tribune said:
A female polio worker was injured by unknown men in Nawan Killi area of the provincial capital on Monday.
According to police, the victim Shazia was on her way to Nawan Killi to administer anti-polio drops to children under five when unidentified men riding a motorcycle attacked her with knives and fled the scene.
The injured was rushed to the civil hospital for medical aid. Police and law enforcement agencies reached the site and cordoned off the entire area and started efforts to arrest the suspects. Further investigation is under way.
This is a terrible attack which will no doubt set back attempts to eradicate Polio from Pakistan. I also have severe doubts that those who carried out this attack will be either apprehended or punished. It’s as likely as not that these barbarians will probably melt into the populace protected by other barbarians or those who they have intimidated into silence.
Pakistan truly is a shithole where superstition and Islamic lunacy has only turned the nation into a dangerous laughing stock among those of us who live in civilised nations but which is also endangering attempts to wipe out a disease that brings disability and death wherever it touches. In a a way there is a bit of an analogy between the crippling and sometimes lethal effects that the disease of Polio inflicts on a child’s body, and what the disease of Islam has brought to Pakistan. Just as Polio kills or enfeebles formerly healthy children so does Islam enfeeble countries like Pakistan which have Islam as their guiding communal and national ideology. Pakistan stands as a warning to civilised nations as to just what happens when Islam becomes the culture and why Islam should be argued against and opposed.
