Doctor or terrorist first?

why are we hiring foreign med students when some of our own are having such a hard time finding a spot to train these days?

Is anyone else as facinated as I am by this brand of religious fervor so promininent among islamist terrorists?

I would love to see a functional MRI of the brains to see if there is some physiologic component to the obsessive, purity-driven mania and instense hatred of freedom and joy and creative endeavor of all sorts.

Your heart wants to sing, with the sound of Music? Off with your head, Infidel!

Irony? Wasn’t the music was a symbol of all that was good? And the Nazi’s attempt to coopt the Von Trapp’s talents to mollify ruffled Austrian nationalism was SOOooo thwarted…

FWIW, Islamists who resort to terror tactics view watered down, “peaceful” muslim practices as the real “perversion” of the faith. For whatever reason and for bad effect, Islam has a certain OCD quality built into it, and violent suppression of those who resist all the million tiny little rules seems to be built right into doctrine. The stress on exactitude, and purity seems quite pathological, and I wonder if they don’t have some biological underpinning.

Last time I looked, the UK had a ton of doctors who were out of work and couldnt find jobs.

Yet the UK health authority has hte AUDACITY to suggest that the system cant function without foreign scabs?

Bullshit.

P.S. Why did Abdullah have to work part time at an office supply store? Does the NHS pay so poorly that it forces doctors to have 2 jobs?

“I don’t think this “brand” of religious fervor is much different than the brands you’ll find Northern Ireland/Israel/Palestine/Rwanda/etc…. the Nazis perverted elements of Christianity to support their cause (just like Muslim terrorists pervert Islam for their cause).”

Northern Ireland was a local, isolated conflict.
Although the Nazis used Christian elements, Naziism was predominantly a secular movement focused more on racial than religious issues (for example, the Nazi’s defined Jews by blood rather than religious beliefs).
Radical Islam is a entirely different phenomenon. To use the Jewish example again, if a German Jew in the 1940′s had converted to Christianity, it would have made no difference to the Nazi party, he would not have escaped the concentration camps. Although radical Islamists want to eliminate all infidels, they are obligated (by my very limited understanding of the Koran)to welcome converts to Islam, and would cease trying to kill Jews/Christians who convert to Islam.

…in other words California would become an underpopulated paradise once again..at least if you are Muslim.
