Update on this story. "Egyptians move to ban Christian transplants," by Charlie Butts for OneNewsNow, September 1:
The Egyptian Parliament is considering a move to ban Christians from buying transplant organs from Muslims.Indeed, according to this video, some of Egypt's Christians have been forced to literally live off garbage.Michael Munier of the U.S. Copts Association says the move is strictly a matter of discrimination against Coptic Christians by a group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. "The excuse they are giving is that they are trying to limit rich Christians from buying organs from poor Muslims -- as if all Christians in Egypt are rich and able to do such a thing," he chides.
Munier notes that the proposed law would not ban rich Muslims from buying organs for transplant from poor Muslims -- and he suggests the West should be concerned because the law could have fallout elsewhere.
This one should go out to friends and family under the heading "multiculturalism and diversity in the Muslim world."
Points of emphasis:
1) Egypt is considered a "moderate" Arab country. If such blatant bigotry and discrimination exist there, then the entire edifice of Islamic "tolerance" begins to crumble.
2) This is just one in a plethora of discriminatory laws: Christian men may NOT marry Muslim women, while Muslim men are free to marry Christian women; churches cannot be built or even repaired without special permission from the Egyptian government (rarely forthcoming), while mosques have no such strictures; Christians make up as much a 10% of Egypt's population, but have less than 1% representation in the Egyptian Parliament....etc. etc
We must appeal to the head-in-the-sand (head-up-their-asses) American Lefties with language they can understand. Use the term "Jim Crow laws" whenever referring to Islamic discrimination against non-Muslims....if nothing else, it will hopefully shame into silence those Lefties inclined towards open apologia of all things Islam.
If I were a Copt, I'd say to them - keep your transplants. I'd rather be dead than have a single drop of Islamic blood in my body
Infidel Pride...Well, you beat me to that one.
Islam is a cellular level parasite. No muslim organs for me...they are all contaminated by Allah...
Of course, the way to solve the problem would be to outlaw payment for human organs.
But then, they aren't really telling the truth about what the problem is in the first place, are they?
The real problem is that they can not tolerate any Christian benefitting from a transplant from a muslim. And I think this is quite widespread among western muslims also. The traffic is all one way.
Now will the Egyptian government allow Christians to travel to the West to receive transplants?

whether they kill NonMuslims by bullet or by denying them medical care, Muslim intend to kill them...period.
The media is too busy covering Gaza, where the population is always on the verge of starving to death due to "Israel's blockade," though, of course, no one there ever starves to death, despite the quotes from hysterical Palestinian sources, who continue to be quoted in the MSM regardless of having no regard for the truth.
The inhumane treatment of Christians (or other religious/ethnic minorities) at the hands of Muslims always goes uncovered since it doesn't fit the predetermined narrative.
I'm listed as an organ donor on my Driver's License. When I read this I first thought to myself, damn them, looks like there is the possibility that some crummy anti-semitic mysogonistice Iman might get some of me. Then it occurred to me how much pork I eat.
I haven't registered as a donor for that very reason. I'm prepared to be as bloody minded as the muslims are.
If anything happens to me, the doctors will have to ask my family. And my family are well versed in my wishes. No part of me will ever be transpanted into any muslim.
But I wish there was a website we could sign up to, so we can exert some control over who receives our organs, instead of some politically correct uncivil servant in some hospital.
To think they come over here to get their medial instruction without which they wouldn't even know squat about organ transplants!
To think they come to these Judeo-Christian lands to receive medical treatments!
As soon as we started to secularize our societies in the West they started to show up.
Looks like Christianity and Judaism are the antidote to islam.. or at least they are a damn good vaccine.

Funny. They grow oranges the size of basketballs in Israel, just a hop, skip, and a jump away. They employ the most modern agricultural methods, many of which they pioneered. 'Palestinians' are both retarded and lying to the media, like when they say that Israelis kill their children, when they plant kids in trenches with Hamas soldiers and then fire at Israel so that Israel picks off a few kids whenever they try to defend themselves. Like every problem they have ever had, their lack of food is (a) ridiculously exaggerated (they're an overweight population) and (b) 100% their own fault for being savage f*ck-ups with no work ethic.
Monty,
Sorry to be off topic, but I'd rather take the risk that some crummy Iman might get my lung, if one of my kidneys will go to a kid. The probability is quite low that any part of me will be going to some anti-semitic creep. I used to drive people to dialysis centers; that kind of makes an impression on one. One never knows, some crummy Iman might have a change in heart as they say...
Infidel Pride and Duh swami: I think you two are being adolescent here; that kind of attitude is what got this ridiculous law proposed to begin with. A genetic match is a genetic match. No religion involved. Of course, if you'd rather die than sully your body with Islamic blood...
That kind of comment lowers the standards of this website. I disapprove wholeheartedly.
In Indiana you can make specifications as how you would like to be an organ donor. It's basically for people who don't want to be cadavers, but you could just write in that you don't want Muslims to receive your oragns on the back. It's not a bad idea.
