Health officials are having crisis talks with Muslim medical staff who
object to new hygiene rules
Health officials are having crisis talks with Muslim medical staff who
have objected to hospital hygiene rules because of religious beliefs.

Medics in hospitals in at least three major English cities have refused
to follow the regulations aimed at helping tackle superbugs because of
their faith, it has been revealed.

Women medical students at Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool
objected to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands and
removing arm coverings in theatre, claiming it is regarded as immodest.

Similar concerns were raised at Leicester University and Sheffield
University reported a case of a Muslim medic refusing to "scrub" because
it left her forearms exposed.

We know, we know . . . you don't like Mexicans and you don't like
Arabs.

Of course, you don't have to leave your own country for such news:

"Faith groups which avoid conventional medical procedures:

Many, perhaps most, faith groups recommend prayer as a supplement to
medical care. However, some religious groups go further: they teach

sampling of the latter are:

Sir is a pretty decent fellow and I doubt he really 'dislikes' anyone.

I know I do not HATE cockroaches. I mean, out in nature, they are bugs; a
curiosity. When I am in the woods camping out, I realize I am on a bug's
terf, and though I might swat them out of my tent, it remains I do not hate
them. I am the interloper.

Sack them, seems simple enough.

As does culling out such applicants before they started a nursing course or
whatever.

The only REAL point.

This article is like looking at Jerry Springer and taking whatever the
hell he has on his "show" as being normal, getting all angst up over it.
It makes one feel, not think.

Yes, it is pretty safe to say that when the news presents a whole people
as being one thing or another it is either lying, talking to the
willfully ignorant or trying to make others this way.
