SOME Muslims are undermining the battle to rid Britain’s hospitals of killer infections by refusing to wash their hands when visiting sick relatives.
Dispensers containing anti-bacterial gel have been placed outside wards at hospitals all over Britain in a bid to get rid of superbugs like MRSA and PVL.
It prevents people bringing in more infections. But some Muslims refuse to use the hand cleansers on religious grounds because they contain alcohol.
Health watchdogs are so concerned they intend to meet with NHS bosses in the New Year to try and hammer out a solution.
NHS care assistant Theresa Poupa, 46, became aware of the situation while visiting a sick cousin at the London Chest Hospital in Bethnal Green.
She said: “I could not believe it - the signs are large enough and clear enough but they just took no notice and walked straight onto the ward.
“I was there almost every day for three weeks and I saw it repeated dozens and dozens of times. When I raised the matter with the nursing staff they just shrugged and said that Muslims were refusing to use the gel because it contained alcohol.
“They said they couldn’t force visitors to use the gel and I understand that — but I was astonished that anyone who didn’t wash their hands was allowed onto a ward.
“I know the dangers that bugs like MRSA can cause. They kill hundreds of patients a year.”

When they become infected (or infect patients that are relatives) by the germs they fester because of their pious religious hygiene - I'll consider it poetic justice.
Unfortunately, they also spread the bacteria to those who practice sound hygiene in this environment.
Where is security and why aren't they being blocked entry at the point they refuse to cooperate?
OT -
the American Family Association is doing a survey on how Americans feel about Islam. It takes just a minute to fill out. I believe they are sending the results to Congress. Even if you don't agree with this group on other issues it is a chance to make your voice heard. You can acess the survey on this link:

Great one, it's goin in, thanks!
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
never confront Islamists
just let them push you around
change your culture to fit them
.
They wipe their asses with their hand, a stone, and a bowl of water, and they have the nerve to walk into a hospital ward without washing their hands?
Dried poop in fingernail cuticles.
eeeew.
In case "Anonymous" comes back and wonders why his comment was deleted, I did say because he was using race to make an argument against Islam.
