Muslims refuse to use alcohol-based hand gels over religious beliefs
Daily Mail UK ^ | 7/26/09 | staff

Some Muslims have refused to use alcohol-based hand gels to combat the spread of swine flu because they claim it is against their religion.

Some of those employed by St Albans Council in Hertfordshire have complained about the antibacterial lotion, which is considered a key strategy in containing the virus.

Yes but you forget they don’t care about health, only the 70 virgins they were promised, but like I have said before.
There may be 70 virgins in hell, but there is no sex in the hereafter, so
...the Healthcare Plan is the Jhadist plan, you are promised something you will get, but cannot use!

Lye and pork fat. There’s a reason that Armour foods and Dial are the same company. I wonder how Muslims feel about that.

It is not even the same kind of alcohol! Beverage alcohol is ethanol, while antiseptic-wipe alcohol is isopropyl! Not very smart chemists.

The world had better pay attention to what these Nobel laureates have to say about hygiene:

It is a good thing Polio is under control as it is spread through fecal contact with an infected person, and we all know Moslems wipe with the left hand without toilet paper.

If it’s against their religion, why don’t they not use any of the stuff? Let them set up labs to make stuff that is okay with their religion.

Doesn’t the Koran only forbid the drinking of alcohol? They are bat sh** crazy. I don’t care if they all get the flu, of course the swine flu is just another government scare tactic anyway. I suggest a sulfuric acid dip for any muslims wishing to be disinfected.

“Beverage alcohol is ethanol”

Dang! A man’s got to believe in something, I believe I’ll have another drink. There’s just something about that phrase “beverage alcohol” that conjures up ice, fine whiskey, and a splash of branchwater. If y’all excuse me, be right back...

Anyway, more primitive stupidity from a primitive stupid and evil people. No sorrow for the Brits, though. They created the Muslim problem, and only they can solve it.

Some might be surprised as to the great numbers of Muslims that work in our hospitals and throughout our medical community.

I’d be happy if they used soap once in a while. When they’re ripe, it’s wicked.
