South Africa's Aids controversy - 26 Nov 07

[battau999]

India now has more people living with HIV than any other country, a UNAids report has revealed.

The report shows that India now accounts for two-thirds of HIV cases in the whole of Asia.

An estimated 5.7 million Indians were infected by the end of 2005, overtaking the 5.5 million cases estimated in South Africa. HIV did not come from Mother Nature or beastiality

Islam spreading AIDS, not protecting them for AIDS.

Seems more likely that her husband has been cheating on her!!!!!!!!

[nothingbutdabest22]

how can being a muslim stop you from being gay?

[nothingbutdabest22]

i meant to say stop you from having aids.

[fileboy2002]

Christianity has been just as silly as islam on this; I remember when the late Jerry Falwell told his congregation that God had sent a "gay plague" to punish thiose who "mocked God."

[Uroshnor]

What the hell kind of stupidity is that? The woman thought that just because she led a Muslim way of life, she would be protected against AIDS? I'd be interested to know just what she meant. Did she mean God would protect her from AIDS, or did she mean she would just eliminate her risk by not having sex with strangers and such?

[bgturk]

Because Muslims are allowed to have sex with only one person - their husband or wife.

[Jamesarcher89]

but arn't they allowed like 20 wives?!

[Triarch1000]

No. A maximum of four. And only if you can treat them equally in terms of finance, time and general treatment. Christians and Jews can hav hundreds. But christianity especailly has been influenced by Greco-Roman thought. i.e. be monogamous and have as many extra marital affairs as you want LOL.

[misslessieloo]

Uhhh...what?

[MustafaPresents]

She probably meant the latter, I would guess.

[sheepwshotguns]

i can only imagine how hard it would be to diagnose breast or testicular cancer...

[jeidda09]

well as we can see in past years not only people get HIV from sex or drugs, but also from incompetent doctors... so I really change my thoughts towards people with HIV. People should be more educated about it. There are still so many stereotypes. Sad
