When Your Doctor is a Muslim: Medical Terrorism Comes to America

Sometimes--so many times--diversity is not what it's cracked up to be.
Just ask Joseph Applebaum. Well, you could ask him. But you won't get an answer. He's dead. And he's dead because he was a Jew, and his doctor is a Muslim and grad of "Ayman Al-Zawahiri" Medical School.
But Applebaum wasn't denied treatment for being a Jew in Egypt. Or elsewhere in the Muslim world. It happened right here on U.S. soil. In Chicago.
As Muslim doctors continue to flood into the country under lax immigration laws, hospitals around the country have acquired their fair share of them. Many hospitals in the Detroit area are now dominated by Muslim doctors and have been for some time.
But even in hospitals where they do not predominate, Muslim doctors are starting to demonstrate behavior toward non-Muslim patients that is beyond alarming.
On December 1, 2003, Joe Applebaum was admitted to Rush North Shore Medical Center, a major hospital in Chicago. He was stricken with an acute (or distended) abdomen--a swelling of the stomach that is easily diagnosed and treated. But it was never treated by anyone at the hospital. For 12 hours, Joe Applebaum was left alone--left to die, which he did the next day.
A Jewish man, he was identified as a Jew on the front page of his medical chart. The chief resident doctor assigned to treat Mr. Applebaum, Osama Ahmed Ibrahim, MD, sure noticed the religious notation on Applebaum's chart. And it appears that this is why he never once checked or examined this emergency patient, Mr. Applebaum, and left him to die. When another doctor at the hospital finally examined Mr. Applebaum--not his assigned doctor, Dr. Ibrahim, he told Applebaum's son, Michael, to say good-bye to his father because he was about to die.
Dr. Ibrahim, is a Muslim from Birmingham, England--a hotbed of Islamic radicalism and terror planning. It is breeding ground for anti-Semitic hate. He is a graduate of Ain Shams University Medical School in Egypt. This extremist school is also the alma mater of Al-Qaeda mastermind and number two, Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Zawahiri's father--a Muslim Brotherhood enthusiast--also taught at the University.
Other Ain Shams grads and faculty members include:
* late HAMAS leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin; * Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Mahdi Akef;
* LAX terrorist shooter Hesham Mohamed Hedayet;
* Extremist Canadian Imam, Aly Hindy; and
* Co-leader of Yemen's extremist Al-Islah Party, Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani.
Why did Dr. Ibrahim neglect a patient who came in with an easily treatable condition and leave him to die, 12 hours later? It appears it can only be because he did not want to treat a Jewish patient and let him live. There can be no other reason.
Mr. Applebaum's son, Michael, is a medical doctor and an attorney. While he was waiting for Dr. Ibrahim to see his father, he called Dr. Ibrahim and alerted him to the growingly severe condition his father was in and that his father was suffering from an acute abdomen. Dr. Ibrahim claimed he examined Mr. Applebaum. But that was a lie. He'd never seen him.
And he essentially murdered him by denying treatment. It's a case of extreme negligence and medical malpractice for the apparent purpose of anti-Semitic murder.
Joseph Applebaum's son Michael is now suing Dr. Ibrahim, the hospital--Rush North Shore Medical Center, and others involved in his father's murder. The case is filed in Illinois, and he is looking for a good attorney to pursue the case he has filed. If you are interested or can help, please contact him at the website he set up to document this ongoing tragedy.
This isn't the only case where a Muslim doctor deliberately let his Jewish patient die, it is just the first that we know of. And it likely won't be the last.
Muslim doctors--especially those from foreign medical schools deep in the world of anti-Semitic, anti-American hate; but many from here, too--have backgrounds that are incompatible with the basic level of care that is required and expected in America. Sadly, no-one is vetting them out of our healthcare system. And no-one will.
But we know that there are many doctors who've been at the forefront of taking lives--not saving them--in the name of the "Religion of Peace":
* Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri--Al-Qaeda mastermind and number two man, reportedly a surgeon and/or psychiatrist; * Dr. Mohammad Rabi Al-Zawahiri--Ayman's father and a Muslim Brotherhood enthusiast, pharmacologist and professor at Ain Shams Medical School;
* Dr. "Abu Hafiza"--Al-Qaeda master planner who was the brains and commander of the Moroccan cell that provided logistics for the 9/11 attacks, and he recruited Qaeda insurgents for battles in Fallujah, Moroccan psychiatrist;
* Dr. Abdel Aziz Al-Rantisi--Late HAMAS leader, pediatrician;
* Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahar--HAMAS co-founder and leader, surgeon and lecturer at the Islamic University in Gaza;
* Dr. Fathi Abd Al-Aziz Shiqaqi--Late founder of Islamic Jihad and active in Fatah, physician.
And there are other issues, such as infectious disease. We are no seeing cases in Britain in which some Muslim doctors refuse to wash their hands with alcohol-based disinfectant, per the Muslim prohibition on alcohol consumption.
In New Jersey, Dr. Ahmed Rashed, a Muslim Arab resident, severed and stole the hand of a cadaver as a gift for a stripper. Such little respect for life from a religion now very much participating in a profession that takes an oath to do no harm and to preserve patient's lives. Not only did he get a slap on the hand--no jail time and, likely, no criminal record--but he currently has a job practicing medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in New York. The real Maimonides--a legendary, brilliant Jewish doctor, rabbi, and religious scholar--is turning over in his grave.
Perhaps, Dr. Applebaum's suit against Rush North Shore Medical Center will make hospitals think twice before they hire Muslim doctors inclined to practice Medical terrorism against their patients. Today, the victim is a Jew, solely because he is Jewish. But tomorrow, it will be a Christian, solely because he/she is a Christian. Or some other non-Muslim victim, solely because he/she is a non-Muslim victim.
Can we afford to have doctors in America whose allegiance to their patients is far less than their allegiance to an extreme observance of a religion of hate? If they cannot and will not tender care, they should not be licensed to practice medicine in the United States.
Like I said, Maimonides is turning over in his grave. Joseph Applebaum, *Zichrono LiVrachah--Blessed Be His Memory.
Actually, it's a fairly common practice. The reason for it is primarily to direct clergy to patients of the appropriate faith.
When you walk into the ER, you get the doctor that picks up your chart. If you argue about it, you will just piss off the people taking care of you. If you make a point that it is based on the race or creed of the physician, you will be told that you need to be quiet. If you make a big scene, you could find yourself sedated and restrained.
On the otherhand, you can sign out AMA, and try your luck at the next ER.
Many Middle-East descent physicians are actually Christians, they couldn’t live in peace in their own country and came the the U.S. to practice.
Debbie Schlussel is not a doctor.
According to Wikipedia, "acute abdomen" and "distended abdomen" are two different things.
Furthermore not all the causes of either are easily treated.
There are other aspects to this story that don't make sense.
“No more Buffalo Wings, but that’s not such a big sacrifice in the great scheme of things. ;~))”
I’d be doomed. That’s a major food group for me.
There is another reason also. No one that has any sense wants to do a Residency in a place like NEWARK.
If it was a Jewish Doctor with a Muslim patient, WE would have tried our hardest to make sure the patient survived.
Jewish=Muslim GO FIGURE
Since when does anything that comes out of the mouth of a lawyer the truth?
Maybe next time you shoot your mouth off you should know what your talking about.
It’s another ‘benefit’ from our immigration policy.
Get used to it. It’s only going to get worse.
Perhaps, but I won't hold my breath. All the would-be Dr. Mengeles will have to do is scream "discrimination," and the courts will order hospitals to hire them, and perhaps even enact a quota, regardless of their competence or unwillingness to take the Hippocratic Oath. Meanwhile, more "infidels" will die at the hands of these so-called physicians. :-(
I made the decision a few years ago that I would not have a Muslim doctor treat me.
It is time we make that clear to hospital and medical schools that import them
America ended on 5/17/07 when Congress opened the floodgates for the rest of the world to come here unchecked.
I personally will be mving into a gated community and keeps my guns locked and loaded.
Semper Fi’

I agree with you. I did the same—I know some people would cry racist, but after seeing the depths to which the practitioners of this “religion” will go, I take no chances. Nor will I allow my daughter to be treated by a muslim.
“lax immigration laws”
And there you have it! Of course, no one will DO anything about it...that would be so un-p.c. to actually STOP letting people into the country!!!
ARGH!
“The real question is why are we allowing any third world scab MD’s in?”
To keep prices marginally reasonable.
We don't have enough information in the article to pass judgment on whether or not the Muslim doctor deliberately neglected the plight of the Jewish patient. It's an open question. We would know more if we had access to the legal papers in the malpractice suit.
Every Muslim is not a terrorist.
True, but most terrorists in today's world are Muslims. Even if a very small percentage of the 1.2 billion Muslims are terrorists, Muslim terrorism is a vast problem. Furthermore, with the influx of Muslim physicians into the US, expecially into big city and suburban hospitals which treat significant numbers of elderly Jewish patients, the scenario that Debbie describes in this blog is realistic generically, regardless of the particular facts in this particular event in Skokie, IL.
People spend HOURS waiting in ER as the priorities are constantly changing.
I think a doc-in-the-box is faster service.
