« World AIDS Day: Passing the blame | Main | God asked to overturn election »
Although there are many excellent initiatives from religious groups, there are still some who see HIV/AIDS as an excuse to engage in hate speech and victim blaming. And it's not all 'Christians' pointedly ignoring the reported words and actions of Jesus - here's some extracts from a Kashmiri Muslim loon, who thinks that AIDS spreads because the West is all atheist:
We can call it a sexual Glasnost. A world where buggery, bestiality, adultery, incest and all such diabolic deeds of a human being have made even devil blush with himself. The story begins with a fanciful wish of making this world the be-all and end-all of fun and merriment. They had a desire to make it a paradise, it turned hellish even for hedonists hit not by a disease, but by a tragedy, by a punishment, by a fatal, mortal dread we call AIDS. God save them.

Erm, ... there's a very old rude song about "Bestiality's best"
But AIDS is a freshly-mutated (in evolutionary terms) disease.
But if the writer is an (islamic) fundie, he won't accept evoultion , any more than a christian fundie ....
What a prat.

Actually, Muslim fundies are more accepting of evolution than the Christian variety and ordinary, no-more-barking-than-any-other-religious-person Muslims are definitely more supportive of science than Christians. Perhaps the moderates remember when the Islamic world led the world in matters scientific?

The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
