Pakistan: Muslim cleric says polio vaccine is against Islam, threatens jihad against vaccination teams

It's a Western conspiracy to render Muslims impotent! The Zionists must be behind it! And if Allah wants you to get polio, then you'll get polio! "Pak cleric warns jihad against polio vaccination teams," from Rediff, June 13 (thanks to Twostellas):

A cleric in Pakistan's Punjab [ Images ] province has warned that a jihad would be launched against polio vaccination teams at a time when the World Health Organisation has expressed concern at the emergence of new cases of the disease across the country.

Maulvi Ibrahim Chisti of Muzaffargarh district declared the anti-polio campaign as "un-Islamic" and announced at the local mosque that jihad (holy war) should be carried out against the polio vaccination team. He made the remarks after finding out that a vaccination team had entered Khan Pur Bagga Sher area of Muzaffargarh and asked families to cooperate with the campaign.

The cleric went to the largest mosque in the area and declared that polio drops were "poison" and against Islam, The Express Tribune reported. He warned that if the vaccination team forced anyone to participate in the campaign, then jihad was "the only option".

As a result, the polio team returned to Muzaffargarh city without carrying out any immunisation and reported the matter to senior officials. A police inquiry was ordered and a raid was conducted in the cleric's area. However, Chisti escaped by the time the police arrived.

Residents said the cleric had tried to convince them that the polio campaign was a "Western conspiracy" to render the population impotent. After the police raid, the vaccination team returned to the area to implement the immunisation campaign.

The WHO recently expressed concern over a spike in polio cases across Pakistan, particularly the country's restive northwestern tribal region, where around 1,50,000 children have reportedly not been immunised....

In Nigeria ignorant Muslim clerics made the same claims resulting in the spread of polio among Muslims.Nigerian Muslims also carried the disease with them on the Hajj infecting other Muslims. The good news is non-Muslims who take the vaccine do not get polio while the disease spreads among Muslims.In Nigeria once Muslims figured out that only they were suffering with polio they started taking the polio vaccine. I suspect the same thing will happen in Pakistan.

A Mahoundian can play on a crowded freeway, and if Allah wants him to be struck by a fast moving truck, he will be struck by a fast moving truck...However if he were not playing on the freeway to begin with, Allah would not have to make tough choices...I remember when we all lined up at school for our polio sugar cube...I don't see any evidence of anyone becoming impotent because of it...

I was one of those volunteers in those mass vaccine campaigns who placed the requisite drops of vaccine in the sugar cubes, with a medicine dropper. I also was one of those who as a young child, guessing around age 4, had infantile paralysis (polio) in a leg, wore a brace for a while, got lucky and had it go away, and even growing out of a slightly shortened leg. I was so lucky, but a male acquaintence is in a wheel chair since then, due to his polio going up into his spine, permanently, crippling his legs, for life. The infection of course occurred before the vaccine campaigns, that I took part in, as the beginning of my volunteering decades.

If the pak izlumic clerics and leaders want to let their people get polio, then they better keep them over there and deal with it themselves. Not one penny of my tax dollars for pak "refugees" or immigrants coming to Canada and bleeding our health system dry.

Way to go, Moslems! The next step is to realize that the smallpox, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, et al vaccinations are also poison! All a good Moslem needs to enjoy good health are the morning nose-snort every day and the daily glass of camels' urine.

i watched a vidoe about this on memri tv. ot is so sick .

Fine. Let the barbarians get polio. Cripples can't make much mischief. Dead polio victims make none at all.

the problem annie here is innocent children who have nothing to do with anything.
M

"there are innocent children here" It's THEIR OWN PEOPLE who are doing those children wrong, not us. We have nothing to feel guilty about.

Innocent till about six or seven. Then they will be screaming their hatred of us and vowing to kill us for allah right along side their jihadi parents. Sorry if this comes across as cold, but it's the truth.

I see no good reason for anyone in the West to waste any time, money--and especially, lives--over the health and welfare of muslims in Pakistan...

And after scores of children get polio, the same Imam will claim it a "Western conspiracy" to kill muslim children.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Just think of this. We non-Muslims get vaccinated (Except for those idiots who listen to Jenny McCarthy.) and we are protected from these illnesses.

Muslims don't get vaccinated, contract these diseases, spread them among themselves and kill or maim their fellow Muslims.

It's a win/win situation for us. We can destroy them in a generation or two this way.

Personally I don't care if muslims in islamic countries get vaccinated or not. The problem is, there has been a resurgence of diseases like smallpox, brought to the West by muslim immigrants.

Unless any and all immigrants, from wherever, can show proof of vaccination against communicable diseases, they should not be allowed in the country.

It's easy to see that Islam loves misery for its believers...

Impotency of Pakistani Muslims is caused by inbreeding and not necessarily by vaccinations. First cousin marriages are common in the UK and malformed babies can be the result. Children born with major defects require massive support from the health service which they will continue to need for the length of their short lives. Hopefully these tragedies will be reduced by more adults becoming impotent as a direct result of their uncivilised ways.

Why in the world would we help those who hate us and want to annihilate us?

The Islamic world is in a permanent state of war against the West and other free/non-muslim nations. We should be doing everything in our power to see that they lose this war and we win.

This is much like the campaign to help muslim women with rickets, who got them due to being in a burqa (and not getting enough sun to make vitamin D).

Rather than try to rid them of this medieval torture device that causes the disease, we try to cure the disease instead.

We're so pathetic and toothless in the West. Apart from great freedom-fighters like Spencer, Pamela and a few others, where are the masses of people who support freedom, equality and justice for all?

Both the Left and Right really dropped the ball on this one and our Islamic would-be destroyers are making great strides all over the world including our own back yard.

I've thought this really is one of the best ways to fight against the jihadists.

As Dick Cheney once said, we don't have the stomach for this fight (against Islam)-so I don't expect we'll starting large scale wars or be dropping nukes on Pakistan or Saudi Arabia anytime soon.

But with muslim paranoia over western inoculation for diseases, they will shoot themselves in the foot.

It's simply a matter of having a pandemic start amongst them that we've already vaccinated ourselves with and like you said in a generation or two, they will be in the history books where they belong.

At this point, who cares if they get immunized as other civilized countries do. Their stupidity and ignorance are sooooo apparent. If they all contract polio, perhaps the whole (passe/dead) culture will go down with them. They'll reap the fruits of their labors, I'd say.

Thanks for telling your story, TJ. You must be a member of the last generation in the civilized West to have had to worry about polio. I just missed the scares, growing up in the 1960s.

Sometimes when I was a young child I would see films and TV shows from a few years earlier dealing with polio, and they felt scary and very strange to me.

They felt strange to me, of course, because I and every other child of my generation owed a great debt to Dr. Salk and Dr. Sabin and all the other doctors and scientists who had labored to fight this scourge.

And kudos to you for working on the vaccination program yourself.

I have read many times that if it were not for Muslim conspiracy theories, that polio would probably have been entirely eradicated, just like smallpox.

Instead, children continue to suffer.

God, I hate Islam.

Sorry for the double post.

In the same way we want the Islamists to mind their own business and not meddle and dictate in western (infidel dominated) countries, I think with the same respect, we should not meddle and dictate to them in their lands. I think it humane to offer vaccination programmes, but respectfully back off if not wanted or rejected.
I also feel very strongly that evidence of vaccination against these highly infectious and fatal diseases be produced, before migration to clean countries, where vaccination programmes have virtually eradicated these diseases. It's a matter of fact in Australia, that people wanting visas to visit known disease ridden countries, have to be vaccinated before leaving Australia. Doesn't it follow that prospective visitors and migrants be screened/treated as well?

And furthermore, it's one thing to allow migrants bringing their murderous sharia disease and jihad ambitions to the free world, it's quite another to let them bring their physical diseases as well.
