Musel doctors, musel-nurses: the ongoing saga. Some of them also refuse to roll up their sleeves. An intolerable, dangerous situation in tolerant, multicultural Britain.
It would be refreshing if British authorities treated this as a public health issue rather than one of multiculturalism, but at this point one can expect nothing. “Muslims refuse to use alcohol-based hand gels over religious beliefs,” from the Daily Mail, via JW
Some Muslims have refused to use alcohol-based hand gels to combat the spread of swine flu because they claim it is against their religion.
Some of those employed by St Albans Council in Hertfordshire have complained about the antibacterial lotion, which is considered a key strategy in containing the virus.
Officials were concerned because the Koran bans Muslims from consuming alcohol, so council chiefs issued them with non-alcohol hand gels, which studies have shown to be less effective in killing bugs.
But Muslim leaders criticised the council’s decision to change the gel, pointing out that Islamic teachings allow Muslims to use alcohol for medicinal purposes.
The Muslim Council of Britain said: ‘We would advise people to follow the medical advice so we would, of course, encourage people to use hand gel. ‘People need to find ways to accommodate their beliefs.’
* Thus those who refuse are simply once again trying to reinforce the proposition that Islamic norms and practices must always and everywhere triumph over Infidel ones. This is a declaration of supremacism, not piety.
Councils, schools and businesses across the country have ordered supplies of alcohol-based hand gels to reduce the spread of swine flu.
A spokesman for St Albans Council said it had issued hand gel to all employees in May

Staff were told they could also get an alcohol-free version. The spokesman added: ‘Following this, two members of staff asked for alcohol-free hand gels and these were provided in May and the Equalities Officer was informed of this.’
* “Equalities Officer?” WTF?

Those phukin muslims who refuse to use alcohol as a disinfectant are lying when they say their religion doesn’t permit……..What their damned religion doesn’t permit is “the consumption of wine”. That means ‘no drinking wine’. Why don’t the governments and administrators start making them PROVE their assertions?
