times online - Muslim urged to shun 'unholy' vaccines, Excerpt:
In my previous post, Muslim Cabbies and Catholic Hospitals, I argued that for reasons of religious conscience certain groups of people should not go into work that conflicts with their religious teachings. For example, if you are deeply Catholic, you should not be a pharmacist where you will be required to dispense abortifacients. After all, you are not a doctor and it is not up to you to decide whether the drug is for a life-threatening ailment. Catholics ministries should not be in the hospital business for the same reason.

times online - Muslim urged to shun 'unholy' vaccines, Excerpt:
A MUSLIM doctors’ leader has provoked an outcry by urging British Muslims not to vaccinate their children against diseases such as measles, mumps and rubella because it is “un-Islamic”.
Dr Abdul Majid Katme, head of the Islamic Medical Association, is telling Muslims that almost all vaccines contain products derived from animal and human tissue, which make them “haram”, or unlawful for Muslims to take.

In Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of India, Muslims have refused to be immunised against polio after being told that the vaccines contain products that the West has deliberately added to make the recipients infertile.

He argued that leading “Islamically healthy lives” would be enough to ward off illnesses and diseases.
“You see, God created us perfect and with a very strong defence system."
