Don't get sick in Pakistan

Michelle Malkin alerts us to a recent decision of The Pakistan Medical Association:

MULTAN, Pakistan (AFX) - The Pakistan Medical Association has vowed not to prescribe medicines from firms based in some European countries where controversial cartoons portraying the Prophet Mohammed were published, said Shahid Rao, the body's general secretary for Punjab province.

The association will boycott drugs from Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Germany and France to protest the 'blasphemous' drawings, Rao said.

'We have taken a unanimous decision and it will be immediately implemented in Pakistan,' Rao told AFP.

'Doctors in the country are very motivated on this issue,' he said. 'We would use alternate medicines in future till a public apology comes from these countries.'
There's more here.

Questions: What alternate medicines? Ground beetles and sage mixed in warm brine?

Is the PMA recommending bloodletting? Leeches?

Malkin calls what The PMA is doing "nuts." She's got it.

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord the Paki's word they keep

If they should die before they cure,
Lord knows we can be really sure

There are four corners on the earth,
Dying muslims could cause great mirth

Drs. Hamoud, Ali, Muhammed and Carzai,
Got even with Europe by letting muslim brothers die.

Teach them a lesson and teach them well,
and you can scream "Allah Akbar" in Hell.




I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

Yes it is.

And in most countries what they mean by "alternative medicines" is stuff where they steal our IP and make it themselves without even the forced royalty payments.
