<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>THE QUACK IN GAMBIA
African Despot 'Cures' AIDS</b>
By Marco Evers
The president of Gambia is causing a stir with his claim to be able to cure AIDS. Hardly anyone in the country dares challenge him and, unfortunately, many actually believe him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->He won't take payment, but he does make one stipulation: those who are taking anti-viral medication must stop doing so immediately. Two respected HIV/AIDS experts promptly handed in their resignation in protest.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Dressed in white from head to toe, the head of state stands before his patients, mumbling prayers and waving the Koran. Then Jammeh rubs green glop on their skin, sprinkles them with gray liquid from an old Evian bottle and gives them something yellow to drink. Bananas -- administered orally -- round off the treatment. After repeating the procedure for several weeks, he proclaims the patients healed. All of them. Without exception.
<b>The trouble with despots</b>
Jammeh explains that the method, based on the healing properties of seven herbs and Koranic prayers, is "foolproof."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Only the koranic prayers and 'waving around of the koran' can be regarded as islamic. All those herbs were no doubt from the traditional African corpus of remedies for general afflictions (do they grow in Mohammed's Arabia?) Since they are unislamic, Jammeh may eventually be pronounced an infidel by the ummah, if they become embarassed enough by his antics.
Would this mean Gambian president is the head of new muslim sect 'Islamic Science' (like christo sect 'Christian Science' where people also refuse doctors and medication and favour healing-by-prayer)?
The following is only tangentially related to the Religion of Peace, as it seems to have been brought on by islamism - Swedish measure to prevent islamoterrorism:
