Dr Muhammad Siddiq’s getting what he deserves!
The British doctor, who heads the Islamic Medical Association, came under fire last year after telling Pulse magazine that “gays are worse than the ordinary careless citizen. They are causing the spread of disease with their irresponsible behavior.” The implication was that there should be laws to prohibit our same-sex ways.
Siddiq originally defended his comments by saying he was stressed, but then later said that his son had written the letter as a joke, and that he had signed it without reading over it. Britain’s General Medical Council wasn’t buying it and their Fitness to Practice board decided yesterday to suspend Siddiq’s medical license for 12-months.
Andrew Popat, chairing the GMC hearing, called the GP’s actions inappropriate and not in the best interests of his patients.
He added that the letter to Pulse was “liable to undermine public confidence in the medical profession and liable to bring the profession into disrepute”.
He said: “The panel continues to have concerns regarding Dr Siddiq’s insight into his actions.”
Obviously this man’s an absolute loon, so we have more than simple concerns – we have disdain and, more pungently, fear.

Another fucking homophobic muslim bites the dust.

Only, unfortunately, for twelve months.
Every patriarchal religion has its share of loons. If the so-called “Christian” Dominionists were in charge in North America, they would make Pakistan look like Disneyland.

Queerty is right to be afraid of what religious madmen like Siddiq are capable of.
His penalties don’t begin to adress his crime. He should be thoroughly investigated by special prosecutors approved by the GLBT community. They should check all his GLBT patients for deliberate malpractice and examine similar claims against other doctors. If any charges can be proven then Siddiq should be tried as a criminal or an accomplice to deliberate malpractice.
But those same penalties should also apply to racist vermin like tallskin. If by pandering to his favorite flavor of ‘rough trade’, skinhead thugs, his putrid racist comments are shown proven to have endangered the lives of mulsims, Africans, people from the Caribbean (or other English citizens not burdened by melanin deficiency) then he should be made to pay the same price the thugs pay.

Perdue you trail of anal slime, this is my fucking country and if these muslim shit for brain immigrants don’t like it then they can fuck right off back to their muslim run hellholes
Oh, and why don’t you go and live in one of these dusky skinned run hellholes and live up to your own idealism? I mean somewhere like in Africa or the middle east? Or would be too risky for you? Put your money where your mouth is.
