Pakistan: Muslims murder 15 with jihad attack at polio vaccination center

Jan 14, 2016 7:26 am By Robert Spencer

A Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And such “extremist” clerics are not just in Pakistan: in Nigeria, a Muslim cleric was arrested for playing a role in sparking the murders of polio workers.

“Suicide Attack on Pakistan Polio Vaccination Center Kills 15,” Associated Press, January 13, 2016:

QUETTA, Pakistan — A suicide attack on a polio vaccination center in southwestern Pakistan on Wednesday killed 15 people, mainly policemen gathered to escort health workers, officials said. It was the latest attack on the vaccination campaign and health workers have been repeatedly targeted in recent years by Islamic militants.

The bombing on the outskirts of the city Quetta killed 13 policemen, a soldier and a civilian, said Shahzada Farhat, a police spokesman. He said 23 people were wounded.

The suicide bomber detonated his explosives among the police officers, said provincial home minister Sarfraz Bugti. “We’re in a war zone,” he added.

The bombing happened outside the polio center shortly before vaccination teams were due to be dispatched to local neighborhoods as part of a three-day immunization campaign, said Syed Imtiaz Shah, the local police chief.

Hours after the attack, Ahmad Marwat, who described himself as a spokesman for Jundullah, or Army of God, a little-known militant group, claimed responsibility for the assault, without explaining why the center was targeted. He warned of more attacks on polio teams in the future.

Polio workers in Pakistan, and their police escorts, have been targeted in recent years by Islamic militants who accuse them of working as spies for the United States.

The attacks intensified after a Pakistani doctor was arrested on charges of running a fake hepatitis vaccination campaign in the city of Abbottabad as a cover for a CIA-backed effort to obtain DNA samples from Osama bin Laden ahead of the 2011 U.S. raid that killed him.

Pakistan is one of three countries in the world where polio is endemic, and the attacks have hindered vaccination campaigns. Some Pakistanis are also suspicious about the vaccinations, fearing it will sterilize their children.

Shah, the police chief, said the security forces were the primary target of Wednesday’s attack. He spoke to reporters from the scene, which was strewn with blood and debris, as rescuers took the wounded to hospitals….

Al-Qaida, the Taliban and other Sunni militant groups are also active in the region. Tens of thousands have been killed in Pakistan over the past decade in attacks mainly targeting security forces and the country’s Shiite minority….

    Particularly gutting because Polio is *so nearly* history. Since 1988 – not so very long ago – the number of annual cases worldwide has dropped by over 99.9 percent, which is incredible progress.

    Islam is the only reason this hideous disease is still able to kill children.

      There is an excellent reason from the Islamic point of view to combat Polio vaccinations:

      Both Jonas Salk and Albert Bruce Sabin who developed the differing Polio vaccinations were Jews.

      It is intolerable for Muslim’s Humanophobia that children, especially Muslim children be saved from paralysis or death by medicines developed by Jews.

      It may be enlightening that Muslims outnumber Jews by a factor of one hundred to one in the world population, yet Jews outnumber Muslims by a factor of about fifteen to one as Nobel Prize winners even if we include the controversial if not plainly unearned Nobel Peace Prizes awarded to Yasser Arafat and to Hussein Barak Obama (and Obama’s denial that he is a Muslim).

      It appears that as far as the contribution to the welfare of humanity, a Jew is more likely to offer a benefit to mankind than a Muslim by a factor of about fifteen hundred to one.

      Go and figure that out!

      And the Islamic answer to that?

      Calls such as: “Edbah al Yahoud” (Slaughter all the Jews) and “Allahu Akhbar”.

    Islam is living in the Bronze Age and reverting back to the Stone Age. One might ask what is causing this social retardation? I believe it is from the heavy metals in their drinking water.

    They drink water from deep wells without any treatment. Their cognitive functions are being affected by metals like lead, manganese, bismuth, nickel, chromium, and beryllium.

    The answer to world peace is clean filtered drinking water! You have often asked yourself, why do they act the way they do. Look to the water.

      ISLAM’S VIGILANTE DOCTRINE is the problem. Anyone who commits blasphemy or resists the jihad is an ENEMY OF ALLAH who should be executed.

      Islam lives in a world of magic thinking where science is overruled by Magic Allah.

        I am serious about this. I did my Masters presentation on this topic. You must at times wonder why why these people act as they do. I firmly believe it is their water. I could be wrong, but it really makes sense.

          But then why do Western converts to Islam – who have grown up on *different* water – behave exactly the same way? Whilst their compatriots who are *not* Muslim, and who have drunk *exactly the same* water since birth, do NOT?

          And Muslims who have been brought up within Western countries – some of them second and third generation, e.g in the UK and France – are Going JIhad too. *They* have grown up on European or British water supplies…and so did their parents. Yet they are Going Jihad, and acting crazy.

      Probably more likely to be caused by their consanguinity – cousins marrying cousins for decades, uncles marrying nieces etc. etc.

    I wonder if there is some underlying urban myth in the terrorists head about the Polio vaccine being some sinister plot against Muslims.

    This is the kind of absurdity published: “The Jews, who dream of ruling the world, have invented different types of vaccines, drugs, and injections in an organized way to weaken Muslims in their beliefs on spiritual, practical, and moral levels, and make their bodies contaminated.”

    http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2014/02/jews-invented-vaccines-to-weaken-muslims.html#.VpfUFOhlDML

    Always biting the hand that saves them. Yes, Jonas Salk was Jewish, one of the Greatest Americans who ever lived. I’m going to remember him on May 6th, Jonas Salk Day, for saving me and my family from Polio.

    Anyone who thinks Polio immunization is a Zionist plot probably thinks caravan robbers and murderers are the best of people.

    This evil and madness as well as delusion that were all factors in the making of this jihad suicide/homicide bombing attack. To explain tin some detail For example,such a wicked and insane way of thinking as this is reflected in the Bible. Which teaches that “Truly the hearts of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live ,and after that they join the dead.” Ecclesiastes 9:3. As for the delusion of that a Muslim/jihadist that he would obtain a paradise ,with or without virgins, by committing a murderous bombing is an extremely delusional belief. For the Bible teaches that a murder “will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21. So any jihad-minded Muslim who engages in such a murdering action will have a very harsh reality check after he died. For instead .of finding himself in a paradise he ended up trapped and suffering in the fires if a awful place that the Bible calls hell. This I don’t enjoy keyboarding ,nevertheless, it’s Bible the based truth. As for the doctrine of a story from the Koran of a sexual paradise with many houris, for jihadists who had died fighting for the Islam. The Bible warns against the folly of listening to unfounded religious /stories No matter how enticing those religious stories may be . For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Furthermore ,the Bible predicts and warns of false teachers ,as those imams, who indoctrinate others into believing in enticing religious stories where the desires of the flesh are fulfilled. For it is written the Bible “For the time will come when the will not endure sound doctrine. but according to their own desires ,because they have itching ears ,they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears aside from the truth , and be turned to fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. For indeed a houris, virgins paradise is very alluring to fulfill the lusts of the flesh. For the Bible warns against false teachers who are very deceptive because “they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh.” Second Peter 2:18 As the the Muslim who is also a jihadist with his deluded Islamic pipe-dream in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins .Such a man is in great contrast to the Christian who has the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [N.K.J.V.]

      Thanks Walter for posting these Holy Bible’s passages,,,,the facts written are absolutely manifesting…….prophetically!

      Why then with vast manifested evidence being experienced…..doubt still exists?

      Is it being transcendently been influenced by what Ephesian 6:12 warns us about?

      “For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world, the spirits of evil in the heavens.”

      I, personally believe in this following spiritual antidote to deter our daily dangers from any source given to us. For I have benefited from this shield of armour for the past 25 years!

      Ephesians 6: 13 That is why you must take up all God’s armour, or you will not be able to put up any resistance on the evil day, or stand your ground even though you exert yourselves to the full.

      GOD’S ARMOUR:

      Ephesians 6:10-18

    So if they decide that absolutely all other medical procedures are also un-islamic, the world might be rid of a particularly repulsive problem within a generation or two?

    In 2014 there was lot of fuss in the UK about pig-ignorant Muslim clerics telling people not to allow their children to have the flu vaccine because it contained a bit of (well degenerated) pig protein. Loads of children were denied the vaccine.
    In 2015 I heard of no such complaints: Muslims seeing sense or authorities changing the formulation, I wonder?

    After a while it just seems beyond comprehension how Islam has managed to exist this long. It is so backwards, refusing all human achievement, including the basic constructs of a civil society. It is like a hookworm, having degenerated to the point where it can only exist as a parasite upon another, more advanced society. (Kind of a like a caravan robber).

      Breeding rates and oil is everything to do with it. Along with the produxcts of Western society being readily available to them for decades. In 1900, Islam was going to the dogs, but since then, it has been revived with a vengeance.

    These clerics are really stupid (must be the result of inbreeding).
    1. If polio vaccinations made children sterile, then how come all the adult Pakistanis who were vaccinated as children are breeding like rats.
    2. If vaccinations are un-islamic, so is everything else that comes from the west, like electricity, clean water, the internet, telephones, TV, radio, cars, medicines, and best of all GUNS. They don’t shun our guns because they enjoy killing. In fact killing and rape are the two rare activities that muslims can enjoy – everything else is forbidden.

    When is this insanity going to end? Our new year, 2016, has come upon us and these medieval-o-phobic humans continue to be in the grips on their lives of superstitions and unreasonable fears of curses it seems.

    Muslin’s propensity to dominate other humans is to overcome their innate fears that are fueled greatly by their tribal prejudices as well.

    The JW’s Jihadi exposure and TheReligonofPeace.com’s listings of daily Muslin caused atrocities should be distributed to those that suffer from the Ostrich Syndrome…..sticking their heads in the sand….”if I don’t see it it’s not happening” mindset lameness! Especially as an introduction to the politicians and the religious clerics that believe that Islam is “The Religion of Peace”!

    Wake up you “Doubting Thomas’s”!
