The Sickness of Islam: How a Perverted Cult is Spreading Polio to the Entire World
As we have said on here, Islam and its backward followers are about 500-1000 years behind the rest of civilization - and going backwards, not forwards, unless you count places like Iraq and Afghanistan, which are being taken kicking and screaming into the present.
But alas we find a story that is so sick, so perverted, that it should once and for all expose Islam for its disgusting backwardness: How Islam is Spreading Polio:
Conspiracy theory keeps polio alive...
The unfortunate problem with this is that polio will soon spread to the rest of the world, threatening the health care systems of many modern nations.
The next time some Imam or other Islamic terrorist says that their culture is superior, remember this story, and realize that Islam is the undoing of civilization and does not benefit it.

Conspiracy theory keeps polio alive...
A worldwide campaign begun in 1988 to eradicate polio was on the verge of success when, early in 2003, a conspiracy theory took hold of the Muslim population in northern Nigeria. That conspiracy theory has singlehandedly returned polio to epidemic proportions.
The theory's source seems to be one Ibrahim Datti Ahmed, 68, a physician and president of Nigeria's Supreme Council for Shari'a Law. Ahmed, an Islamist, accuses Americans of lacing the polio vaccine with an anti-fertility agent that sterilizes children (or, in an alternate theory, infects them with AIDS) and considers them, according to John Murphy of The Baltimore Sun, "the worst criminals on Earth... Even Hitler was not as evil as that."
This fear of polio vaccines caught on, explains a doctor with the World Health Organization, because of the war in Iraq. "If America is fighting people in the Middle East," goes the Islamist logic, "the conclusion is that they are fighting Muslims."
Local imams repeated and spread the sterilization theory, which won wide acceptance despite vocal assurances to the contrary from the WHO, the Nigerian government and many Nigerian doctors and scientists.
Ibrahim Shekarau, governor of Kano, one of the three Nigerian states that refused the polio vaccine, justified the decision not to vaccinate on the grounds that "it is a lesser of two evils to sacrifice two, three, four, five, even 10 children [to polio] than allow hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of girl-children likely to be rendered infertile."
The Baltimore Sun offers the example of a young Nigerian mother who rejected polio vaccine for her child. The child did get polio, and the mother was asked if she regretted her decision. Unhesitatingly, she replied, "No, I would do the same [again]." Villagers saw the vaccination program as a threat and on occasion "chased, threatened and assaulted vaccinators. Frustrated, some vaccination teams dumped thousands of doses of the vaccine rather than face angry villagers."
The unfortunate problem with this is that polio will soon spread to the rest of the world, threatening the health care systems of many modern nations.
