UK Muslims Refuse to Wash Hands in Hospital
December 30, 2006

By Sher Zieve – British Muslims are refusing to wash their hands with required anti-bacterial disinfectant gels. The Muslims are protesting the practice on religious grounds, as the gels contain alcohol.

Anti-bacterial gels are used in hospitals to guard against “superbugs”, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL). British healthcare workers said they were shocked to discover the practice of Muslims refusing to disinfect their hands before entering patient rooms.

NHS care assistant Theresa Poupa at London Chest Hospital said: “I could not believe it. The signs are large enough and clear enough but they [Muslim workers] just took no notice and walked straight onto the ward! I was there almost every day for three weeks and I saw it repeated dozens and dozens of times. When I raised the matter with the nursing staff they just shrugged and said that Muslims were refusing to use the gel because it contained alcohol.”

Hezbollah Reaching Pre-War Force
December 30, 2006

Hezbollah in Lebanon is reported to be close to its pre-war with Israel strength. The terrorist group is also reported to be receiving consistent shipments of traditional and advanced weapons from Syria.

Although United Nations troops are currently in Lebanon, the Syrian-transferred weapons have been unconcealed. Regular truckloads of armaments are said to be crossing the Syrian-Lebanon border. Often, this has been on a daily basis.

An Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) officer commented: "Hezbollah needs to legitimize its existence, and therefore will continue to fight.” He said that it is only a matter of time before the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah resume and added: "If the Lebanese government does not implement the [UN] resolution then we are most probably on our way to another round with Hizbullah.”

OPINION: I read this article on another site about "UK MUSLIMS REFUSE TO WASH HANDS IN HOSPITAL" and I thought to myself that not washing one's hands while working in a hospital is like not washing one's hands while working in a restaurant. In my opinion, that falls somewhere between a criminal act and a firing offense.
