A Cure For AIDS Islamic Style

I wish that I had the video to go with this.

Hamas TV Scientist Dr. Ahmad Al-Muzain: Bayer Invented Its Cure for AIDS on the Basis of a Hadith by Prophet Muhammad about the Wings of Flies

Following are excerpts from a program featuring Dr. Ahmad Al-Muzain, a Palestinian expert on Koranic science, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on September 19, 2008:

Ahmad Al-Muzain: The Prophet Muhammad said: "If a fly falls into your drink, you should dip it in the drink, and then dispose of the fly, because one of its wings bears a disease, and the other wing bears the cure." This hadith was included in the Al-Bukhari collection. This hadith makes it absolutely clear that the Prophet Muhammad confirmed a clear scientific fact: If a fly falls into a vessel – before a person drinks from this vessel, he should dip the fly in his drink, before disposing of it. Then he should drink the beverage, because it won't do him any harm. Why? Because one of the fly's wings bears the disease, and the other one bears the cure.

In Germany, the Church paid a very large sum of money to two scientists to disprove this hadith. Since this hadith appears in the Al-Bukhari collection, we cannot claim that it is unreliable or anything, and so they thought that if they could prove that this hadith contradicts science, they would be dealing a devastating blow to Islam.

[...]

The scientists took samples from the wings of flies, and began to examine them, analyze them, and take samples from their surface, in order to expose what existed on each wing. The devastating result constituted a slap in the face. The truth was devastating, and it backfired on them. The two scientists reached an astounding conclusion. They said that on one of its wings, the fly carries a huge amount of different types of bacteria, which adhere to it when it lands on rotting pieces of food that it eats. As for the other wing, Allah has given the fly the great ability to carry antidotes to these microbes.

When Bayer, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, learned about this study, it derived great benefit from it. It established biological breeding farms, where they would raise flies and extract antibiotics from their wings – the strongest antibiotics in the whole world. This antibiotic was made into a course of five pills, which is given to the patients, and it is used – believe it or not, my brothers – to treat AIDS patients. It strengthens their immune system, and destroys all types of microbes with which they are afflicted. This is all thanks to the power of this antibiotic. Obviously, this antibiotic is very expensive, and one course costs more than $500, but it is very strong and effective. How did they discover it? From this hadith.

Did the Prophet Muhammad have labs to carry out research? Did Abu Bakr know anything about entomology, parasitology, or bacteriology? Of course not. Absolutely not. So how did they make all these scientific accomplishments? The only logical conclusion is that this science was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by the Creator.

From Monkey in the Middle:

When asked about this Bayer laughed at it. When one tries to find any scientific research done on the wings of flies in connection to disease either in Germany or any where else, one comes up empty. Yet Abu Bakr seems to have found one that the multitude of experts in the fields of entomolgy, parasitology and bacteriology can't find, duplicate or laugh over it. But if Abu Bakr says it is so, then it must be. For it is in the Koran (that book of lies) and therefore must be the only truth in the world.

It is funny how on the West Bank and Gaza AIDS in on the rise. Instead of teaching their people the truth about the disease, they have taught them that you can only get AIDS from shaking hands with a Jew.

If it wasn't so sad, I would be laughing at this. But now thousands of AIDS suffers will forgo standard medical treatment in favor of a quack cure. And I wonder how many people in the Muslim world will now believe this? We will see AIDS numbers climb in Muslim nations then.

Junk Science is just that: JUNK! There is no merit in it. If the person extolling the idea or product refuses to give you the name of the paper in which the study is published, the name or names of the scientists involved in it or tells you that you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, RUN LIKE THE WIND AWAY FROM THEM! Your life is more important than any miracle cure that isn't one.

And please, don't start dipping flies into your drinks. They do carry diseases and do not carry the cures.
