What have they got against polio vaccination? Perhaps if Allah could be persuaded to clear up the disease then the vaccinations would not be necessary.

I think lazy and others have hit the nail on the head. There's nothing in Islam preventing it - in fact Muslims are exhorted to look after their health. It's false propaganda, and it'll kill people.

do you like the regime in Afghanistan, those who run the country, do you care to see the way women are treated, what they wear, how if they are abused, that they pay the penalty. What were we ever doing there,
as soon as we and the Americans pull out, the taliban will be back in charge. I hope that doesn't happen, but i suspect it will

[emmie]

boxy, it's killing people, they seem to think that every so called western intervention is a way to impose western ideology, i say lets pull all troops, aid workers out, and let them sort out their own affairs.

divebuddy; When the marriage took place, jubilation was expressed over the assumed probability that this marriage would end the Hundred Years War, then in one of its periodic states of truce between the two kingdoms. The celebration was based at that time on probability, not obviously on certainty.

[FredPuli43]

The marriage to the King of France's daughter was one of the terms of the truce negotiated in 1396. The ensuing peace lasted 28 years [Wikipedia: Richard II].

Old_Jim, //It has little to do with Islam….. Al Qaeda regards anything to do with the West and in particular the USA as being the work of the devil. //

Those two statements are somewhat contradictory but that said, it's high time people stopped making excuses for radical Islam. The prophet Mohammed was a warmonger and radical Islam is enshrined in delusion, mistrust, and a determination to dominate. The Koran exhorts brutality in the extreme towards the perceived enemies of Islam, a perception which, in itself, carries ominous implications for non-Muslims – every one of whom is deemed by radical Islam to be an enemy. Within the ranks of the fundamentalist, conspiracy theories abound, and are wholeheartedly believed, as is the antiquated supernatural superstition that Islam promotes. Al Qaeda, the Taliban, the mad Mullahs, the suicide bombers, the people who take to the streets demanding the severed heads of cartoonists and writers and of teachers who allow Teddy bears to be named ‘Mohammed’ - and the killers of Lee Rigby – all these people live their religion in every aspect of their lives. They ARE their religion – so please, no more ‘this has little to do with Islam’. It has everything to do with Islam and until the world opens its eyes and acknowledges that, it has no prospect whatsoever of ever comprehending the backward, barbaric, inflexible mentality that is bringing nothing but misery and pain to this planet.

and that its growing stronger, and spreading out wider, the thread on allowing women footballers to wear head scarves sums it up for me, this is an absurd notion that women need to cover their entire body otherwise it will cause offence, or inflame any male is absurd, its essentially saying no man can be trusted. This idiocy has come here in abundance, we had long fought against this sort of restraint for women, why is it being reintroduced.

[sandyRoe]

Is this more about whose writ runs there than it is about polio vaccination?

[naomi24]

Emmie, men who support the idea that women should be covered clearly don't understand that it’s an insult to all men.

[Zacs-Master]

It's not about that. It's about subjugation and control.

[emmie]

if that's the case, why are women taking it up, those that didn't wear the headscarf or indeed the burkha, if they wore western style dress in their home country, why do they feel a need to don it now. When i said before on another thread that some of these countries are going backwards, it was jumped on as backwards countries, and that wasn't what i said, but some are reintroducing restrictions on women, in education, work, home, and if you look at some of the cases brought up in UK recently, they are not above promoting this nonsense here.

[Zacs-Master]

Brainwashing.

[emmie]

what gets me is that the men wear what they like, whilst expecting the women folk to be chaste, modest, covered, one woman i saw yesterday wasn't remotely visible, not even the eyes, i have no idea how she could see where she was going. Whilst the husb

[emmie]

something wrong with keyboard, it keeps on jumping, that submitted before i had finished,

whilst the woman's husband was dressed in western clothes, jeans, jacket, baseball cap, for goodness sake, not to mention she was ten paces back carrying all the shopping.

[naomi24]

I’m not sure what Zacs means. That the rejection of the polio vaccination is about subjugation and control – or that shrouding women is about subjugation and control. Both could be considered so.

[emmie]

both are, surely if the west sends out its aid workers to help, they shouldn't be gunned down for trying to do so.

[EDDIE51]

Read the link , they think it is a cover to sterilise Muslims or to spy on them!

[naomi24]

The rejection of the polio vaccine is a bit like Catholic priests telling the faithful that condoms do not help to combat the HIV/Aids virus.

The lies and superstition that religion spreads has a lot to answer for.

Someone should arrange a banquet for the Taliban leaders....laced with the polio virus of course
