Gem-like perfection of lethal reverse logic
I couldn't have invented this if I tried.
From New Superstitionist:
A sane rational person, including even sane rational scientists, would reach a simple and blazingly obvious conclusion:
Islamic law makes it hard for HIV to spread; therefore, Islamic law is good for public health.
You might also observe secondarily, as I've been seeing in other contexts, that Islamic law agrees with science, while Western liberal law violates science.
No, not these idiots. The only thing they can see is that Islamic law makes it harder to run their usual Western liberal approach to HIV, in which gay behavior is celebrated to the fabulous heavens while normal human behavior is SMASHED TO BITS.
From New Superstitionist:
Stigma and homophobia against gay men is hampering efforts to manage a growing epidemic of HIV in Islamic countries, warn epidemiologists this week.
The spread of HIV is at a relatively early stage in Islamic countries, so there is an opportunity to stop it growing.
"The stigma is a barrier to HIV prevention services," says Laith Abu-Raddad....
Historically, HIV epidemics have often begun in minority, high-risk groups such as men who have sex with men or intravenous drug users, then spread to the general population. A problem in much of the Islamic world is that men having sex with men is illegal. That, coupled with homophobia, hampers efforts to contain the virus by making gay men too scared to seek treatment, a pattern that has been seen in eastern European countries, India and sub-Saharan Africa.
