'No ultrasounds by male doctors'
2006-06-19
MIRANSHAH: Taliban on Sunday warned male doctors against carrying out ultrasound tests on female patients. In a pamphlet from the "North Waziristan Mujahideen", they demanded that female doctors be appointed to carry out the procedure. "We will award punishment in accordance with Islamic laws if any male doctor is found to be carrying out ultrasound tests on female patients," read the pamphlet pasted on the main streets of Miranshah.

#10  Notice how Islamic males are pathetic little creatures unable to control any impulses that pop into their pointy little heads? Evolutionary regression at work. I blame inbreeding and Allan

#9  A good thing. A glimpse of a naked femal fetus might cause any male doctors head to explode...

#8  While they're at it, why don't they require that the ultrasound tests be carried out using machines of purely Pakistani origin and design?

#3  Quite simple. Ultrasound is a suspicious infidel creation to mess with Muzzie wimmenfolk. It did not exist in 8th century and is not required now.
