The 7th Century Comes To Britain

The head of the Islamic Medical Association in Britain is boldly dragging British Muslims into the 7th century with his brilliant advice to parents: Don't vaccinate your kids.

A leading Islamic doctor is urging British Muslims not to vaccinate their children against diseases such as measles, mumps, and rubella because they contain substances making them unlawful for Muslims to take.

Dr Abdul Majid Katme, head of the Islamic Medical Association, says almost all vaccines contain un-Islamic "haram" derivatives of animal or human tissue, and that Muslim parents are better off letting childrens' immune systems develop on their own.

Dr Katme, an NHS psychiatrist, said: "If you breastfeed your child for two years – as the Koran says – and you eat Koranic food like olives and black seed, and you do ablution each time you pray, then you will have a strong defence system."

The government and other Muslim associations have sharply criticized the bad doctor Katme. Given that Britain is, at this very moment, experiencing a suspected outbreak of rat-borne disease, the doctor's guidance is even more stupid than it sounds.

A killer disease spread by rats may have struck a worker at a Preston firm.

A man carrying out excavation work at Morrison Utility on the Red Scar industrial estate is being tested for Weil's Disease, a rare but potentially fatal bacterial infection spread by the urine of rats.

The man, who was working on the United Utilities contract at the firm, complained of feeling sick, tired and lethargic – all symptoms of the disease.

Workers at the company have been sent a letter warning them about the possible suspected case and to look for symptoms.

One worker says a further five employees are off sick and suspected to have the disease.

The worker, who did not wish to be named, said: "We got a letter telling us one man was suspected of having Weil's Disease, but the word going round is that there are actually six people affected.

"Weil's Disease is contracted through rats' urine and we see rats on the site all the time.
