What a Man Thinks in His Heart, So He Is

Car bombs in England are disturbing. What is more troubling is that recent arrests are pointing towards Muslims in the medical profession who were responsible. Actual doctors, in fact. What kind of ideology encourages medical doctors to plant car bombs? Think about that contradiction for a moment.

To save lives through medicine is seen as a good deed. As Westerners, we tend to think that doctors are on the side of all people in need. However, that is because we retain the framework of Christian worldview (even though we don't acknowledge it). In the history of man, the practice of medicine is not always so noble. It ebbs and flows in its morality.

In India, for example, many in the medical field do not treat the lower castes of society, believing that they're karma resigns them to a lower level of value. In America, to our shame, in decades past, some white physicians (not all, nor even most, of course) would refuse treatment to minorities.

But has anyone seen an ideology so vicious and so convoluted that the hands that heal are also the hands the blow up cars? (I know, some of you are thinking about abortion in America, and you have a point, however, very few doctors in America are performing abortions, thank God; the ones who do at least hide from their crime by rationalizing about feminism, the rights of women, et al. It doesn't justify their crime, but it at least it shows a desire to show at least a minimum respect for morality.).

This is not to say that all Muslim doctors blow up cars and people. But the fact that some do, and say they do it in the name of Allah raises issues. These are not renegade doctors. These are mainstream, respectable members of the medical community.

Islam is an ideology of conquest. It has been from the beginning. Islam holds the belief that infidels are unworthy of life and to be killed or conquered. This is not a twisting of their theology, it is in their holy books, taught by their Imams, and begun by their founder, Mohammed.

What a man believes about God truly matters.
