I'm curious
Reader comment on item: Islamists in the Hospital Ward
Submitted by Jeff (United States), Feb 9, 2014 at 10:53
Given the Jewish prohibition on intake of pork, I'm curious as to how many Jewish nurses at the Boston Children's have refused the mandatory flu shot.
Actually, I'm not that curious. I'm willing to take a guess at the exact number. My guess is, zero.

Daniel Pipes replies:
As I understood, Jewish prohibitions can be put aside to save lives; Islamic ones tare more absolutist when Islamists are in charge. But not always: the Saudi medical system is mostly normal.
