Islamic Medical Students Refuse to Wash their Hands

For real

Muslim medical students are refusing to obey hygiene rules brought in to stop the spread of deadly superbugs, because they say it is against their religion." According to a Fox News.com report, "More Muslim Women Medics in U.K. Refusing to Follow Hygiene Rules", there are specific problems with this mindset in several different locations, schools, clinics and hospitals. The report in the Telegraph article, " Female Muslim medics 'disobey hygiene rules'", which is cited by the Fox report, states: "Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.

Sorry Gadfly, I am too tired today to extrapolate something from this onto Judaism. Anyone else wanna try?

Update: What are those zealous muslim women doing in medical school anyway? You don't see any zealous Jewish women (or men for that matter) becoming doctors do you?
Update: HOW DARE the prophet Muhamed allow his loyal adherents to be sickened by infidel superbugs. I am quite certain that if Jewish doctors were to sanctify our faith by refusing to expose their skin, blessings and protection would rain down upon them from heaven.
