Islamism and HIV

The Islamists can always beat out the Christianists in their intolerance. Here’s a classic from a member of the Syrian government:

"All the diseases that have to do with sexual organs, mainly AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, and so on… When these diseases appeared, they killed millions. More people were killed by these diseases than by wars. The only reason for this is the straying from the divine way regarding fornication, and when I say fornication – "Do not even approach abomination" ‚Äì this means fornication, homosexuality, and all the sexual deviation it entails… The entire world, from the US to the most distant country, acknowledges that if they had stoned the fornicators, and prevented abomination, things would have been much better."

Just an update from the religious right in Islam. (Hat tip: Petrelis.)
