ISLAMIC SCIENCE: Pregnant Pakistani woman had nail hammered into her head to ‘guarantee’ birth to baby boy
A pregnant Pakistani woman with three daughters had a nail hammered into her head by a faith healer who said it would guarantee she gave birth to a boy. The woman’s husband allegedly threatened to leave her if she had another girl.

Exploitative faith healers, whose practices are rooted in mystic Sufi lore, proliferate across Muslim-majority Pakistan, where a son is believed to offer better financial security to parents than daughters.
The woman arrived at a hospital in the northwestern city of Peshawar after trying to extract the nail herself with pliers, doctor Haider Khan told AFP. “She was fully conscious, but was in immense pain,” said Khan, who removed the spike. An X-ray showed the five-centimeter (two-inch) nail had pierced the top of the woman’s forehead but missed her brain. Khan said a hammer or other heavy object was used to knock it in.
The woman initially told hospital staff she had hammered the nail into her head herself on the advice of the faith healer, before later saying he had carried out the act. Peshawar police are trying to track down the woman in order to question her. “We have collected the CCTV footage from the hospital and hope to reach the woman soon,” city police chief Abbas Ahsan told AFP.
As it turns out, this woman is pregnant with another girl.

Islamic science sounds like Fauci is giving them medical advice. Third world ignoramuses that are typical of what has infested MSP, Murfreesboro, New Jersey, Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin et al. with the assistance of both parties in D.C.
