Iraq: Couple Murdered for Being HIV Positive; Islam Absolved

The servants of Allah do some religious "cleansing": IRAQ: HIV-positive couple murdered

BAGHDAD, 9 August (IRIN) - First came the phone call - a man who accused Farid Abbas of carrying "an indecent disease" and telling him that he'd be killed "for the safety of the country".

Two days later, 42-year-old Abbas, who had been HIV-positive for nine years, was gunned down on the street.

"Witnesses said that while the man was shooting him from the window of a car, he was shouting loudly, 'Death to all people who carry diseases acquired from indecent methods against Islamic beliefs'," said Abbas's sister, who asked that her name not be used, for security reasons.

Islam, Religion of Mass Murder.

That was not the end of the tragedy. On 30 July, Abbas's wife Hania Omar, 38, who also was HIV-positive, was leaving home to pick up their 11-year-old son from school when another drive-by assailant shot her dead.

The man dropped a letter which said, "This is the price to pay for a Muslim woman who is willing to sleep with a dirty man whose blood is infected with the devil's impurity." The police shrugged off the deaths as "sectarian violence".

Although sad, it should be expected that the police in an Islamic country would not blame Islam; heck, I'm surprised they blamed "sectarian violence" instead of blaming the infidels. Surely Irin News would set the record straight....

...Abbas and his wife were both hemophiliacs, and were infected with HIV from contaminated blood in the late 1980s.

In the conservative, religious environment of Iraq, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the disease it causes, AIDS, are associated with homosexuality, sex outside of marriage, and drug use - all considered religious offences.

Sure, that's a good start. A little apologetic, and it blames "conservatism" (Tory MP's don't advocate gunning down HIV-infected couples) instead of Islamic teachings such as Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4447: "[...]The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done." But that's at least in the neighborhood of truth. But then there is this:

There is little awareness of the fact that the virus can be contracted via contaminated blood transfusions.

Attitudes toward HIV and AIDS are also holdovers from the rule of Saddam Hussein. At that time, people who were discovered to be HIV-positive were virtually imprisoned in a special hospital, along with immediate relatives.

Holdover from the rule of Saddam Hussein? Fidel Castro's regime, too, imprisoned HIV-positive patients in 'virtual prisons', but for some odd reason HIV-positive couples are not murdered in Cuba. The desire to absolve Islam runs deep in the mind of Western dhimmis such as those found in IRIN News.
