#1 Ten previously polio-free countries have now been reinfected.

Thanks for nothing, you ignorant Islamic mullah retards.

#2 I have to disagree, Steve - I doubt this kind of blind stupidity is preventable. Except perhaps with a case of lead poisoning in the right places. ;-)

#3 I'm starting to seriously doubt all this "we owe the Muslims, because they preserved the knowledge of the West during the Dark Ages" crap, when there's this kind of idiocy bubbling up from all corners of the Islamic world.

#4 Countries across the continent are increasingly scared to death concerned about the rate at which the disease is spreading internationally from northern Nigeria since immunization was suspended in September 2003. Ten previously polio-free countries have now been reinfected.

And a big "thank you" to our northern Nigerian mullahs. Couldn't have done this without them.

Barbara, I'm rather fond of any deserving parties experiencing the fast onset type of lead poisoning. I'm confident that we're in violent agreement over this.

From UPI Commentary: Al-Qaida's agenda for Iraq:

What Al-Ayyeri sees now is a "clean battlefield" in which Islam faces a new form of unbelief. This, he labels "secularist democracy." This threat is "far more dangerous to Islam" than all its predecessors combined. The reasons, he explains in a whole chapter, must be sought in democracy's "seductive capacities."

This form of "unbelief" persuades the people that they are in charge of their destiny and that, using their collective reasoning, they can shape policies and pass laws as they see fit. That leads them into ignoring the "unalterable laws" promulgated by God for the whole of mankind, and codified in the Islamic shariah (jurisprudence) until the end of time.

The goal of democracy, according to Al-Ayyeri, is to "make Muslims love this world, forget the next world and abandon jihad." If established in any Muslim country for a reasonably long time, democracy could lead to economic prosperity, which, in turn, would make Muslims "reluctant to die in martyrdom" in defense of their faith.

Remember folks, disease and pestilence are the terrorists' friend. It's what the Islamists want. Keep citizens in abject poverty long enough and even people's very lives become commodities. Technological retrogression alone is a form of human genocide, it could only be outshone by theocracy's ability to slaughter en mass. The "Jonestown" sort of Kool-Aid Kwotientâ¢ shown in this polio epidemic represents a new ~~high~~ low in Fundamentalist stupidity.

#5 Desert Blondie-
Don't fall for that "we owe the Muslims, because they preserved the knowledge of the West during the Dark Ages" crap
It was the Byzantine Empire (i.e., the eastern Roman Empire) that did the preserving, not the Muslims (who in fact got their knowledge from the Byzantines).
