[DAWN] The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has validated around a hundred fatwas, also known as religious edicts, in support of polio.jpg "polio") ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...vaccination, sparking hopes that religion-based resistance against vaccinations will decrease. According to a CII document available with Dawn, the council’s apex body unanimously decided to ratify fatwas by Learned Elders of Islam in support of polio eradication. The document said that the CII was concerned that Pakistain was facing travel restrictions due to polio cases, and could face further financial problems in the future as such restrictions could be increased. Babar Bin Atta, the prime minister’s focal person on polio, told Dawn that this was the first time the government tried to seek the CII’s help in controlling the polio virus.
