I wonder if Melanie Phillips wraps fish with such dreck. This is from the London Times.
Nowhere can inequality be so devastatingly stark as in a well-resourced British hospital where a well-fed patient, preparing to have her varicose veins removed, complains to an Iraqi doctor whose medic brother was killed for treating bomb victims back home; or a Malawian nurse whose young child died of an easily preventable disease; or a Zambian whose life expectancy at home would be lower then the age of the woman in the hospital bed – where she complains to these people treating her that the food sucks or she hasn’t got enough pillows or painkillers.No, murder is never excusable, and often impossible to understand. But resentment; even hatred; some burning anger for a fanatic to build on? Oh yes. Surely we can stretch ourselves to understand that.
Get that?
Alice Miles thinks its easy to understand why a doctor can morph into a terrorist.
Does this idiot have a clue? Let's get this straight. Because some sick, potentially dieing patient is crying out for relief from pain, we need to relate to the resentment of someone who is perfectly healthy, living in the first world, and is being well paid to take care of patients?
When was the last time you heard of a Zambian or Malawian terrorist? I didn't think so. Perchance could it be because these places are in the southern area of Africa which are dominated by Christianity?
The only thing that is being stretched are the litany of excuses of why radical Islam is not the driving force of incessant terrorism.
