Swine flu is "more serious than the hydrogen bomb", the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group, said in a symposium on the health scare on Wednesday.
No cases of swine flu have yet been reported in Egypt, although the Cairo parliament on Tuesday voted to slaughter the country's entire pig livestock of around 250 000 animals in a precautionary measure.
"It is God's grace in his Islamic Sharia to permit all that is good for us and to ban what is bad. We could understand the wisdom of the ban, or we could not understand it. But eventually time proves the truth of God's words to us," Sheikh al-Sayed Askar said at a Muslim Brotherhood-sponsored symposium on the virus on Wednesday.
If they were serious about eradicating pigs, one would think they'd look closely at some of their fundamentalist bretheren. They've killed thousands more than this supposed "pandemic" ever will.
As for how swine flu got started, that's really up for debate right now. There are conflicting theories. As you can see from the glance of the lady on the right in this photo, she may suspect that the infection began in Portland, as so many infections do. It's worth noting, however, than Portland infections are mostly Leftist, and cost a lot of money. They bleed you to death over the long term, but they don't kill you quickly.
More than likely, swine flu has a much less insidious beginning.
