Muslims are safe from the swine flu

The other day, DJ, one of the Algerian visitors to Skypeland who likes to talk for hours about how superior Islam is, was extraordinarily pleased with himself. According to DJ, Muslims will never get the swine flu because they do not eat pork or other pig products. DJ was incredibly smug about this.

It is interesting to me that DJ is not alone. The Russian government has banned the importation of Mexican pork. The Chinese press has published instructions for how to safely cook pork to avoid swine flu. The Egyptian government has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of pigs. The only pig in all of Afghanistan, in the Kabul Zoo, has been quarantined. And so on.

Although characters like DJ like to brag for hours about how intelligent they are and how much they know, and how they are inherently superior to all nonMuslims, this is a perfect example of how backwards and ignorant they really are.
