Our nation’s bodily fluids


Turkey is now going to have halal blood.

Wut?

I don’t know. That’s what they say.

A recent Turkish Red Crescent initiate is set to be turned into a factory-supported production process, making medicine out of Turkish people’s blood in order to rule out any risk of non-Islamic dietary impact, according to the organization’s head, Ahmet Lütfi Akar.

Akar told daily Hurriyet that the move could both eliminate dependence on drugs imports, as well as providing Muslim Turks with assurances that their medicine complies with their religious codes.

Uh huh. Because if it’s Turkish blood, it’s clean, and if it’s kaffir blood, it’s dirty. That’s always a great way to think about people.

“For instance, if we are buying medicine from Britain, it is made out of the blood and plasma of the blood of the people of that country. We have different dietary habits from those countries. Being a Muslim nation, we do not eat pork. We don’t eat some of problematic foods, but these exist in the medicine that we import,” he said.

Akar said treatment through one’s own national production would be healthier. “We will eliminate imports, and create an opportunity to export to Islamic countries. There will be no change in the regulation of receiving blood donations; no one will be asked whether or not they eat pork. 95 percent of Turkish people already don’t eat port anyway,” he told daily Hurriyet.

It’s not the pork, you see, it’s the Turkishness. Turkish people are just cleaner, that’s all.

Turkish Medical Association head Özdemir Aktan, however, ruled out any chance of his association offering scientific facts to support the Red Crescent’s point.

“There is no scientific fact that says national blood is more helpful. Being a doctor, how can I possibly say that one blood is halal, and the other isn’t? We are just watching events unfold in complete shock,” Aktan said.

I feel sympathy for Özdemir Aktan. It sounds rather like watching events unfold in Texas.

H/t Torcant.

    Sigh.

    People are stupid.

    If he’d rather die than get blood from somebody who ate pork, or take medicine that contains gelatin, then by all means let the damn idiot die.

    It’ll leave more for people in need who have more freaking sense, and the busy people in healthcare professions won’t have to waste time trying to comply with his pointless racist superstitions.

    I guess no one ever explained that the air Akar breathes every day has been contaminated not just by dirty kuffar, but by actual pigs. I’m pretty sure the water Turks drink has been in the bodies of unclean non-Turks before. Mind boggled.

    I know this isn’t really here or there but since 2002 in the UK all blood plasma has has been collected from US donors because of the risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. So medicines certainly won’t be made from the blood of the people of Britain. The problem was the beef not the pork

    Logically, shouldn’t halal blood be obtained by hanging the donors upside down and cutting their throats?

    That rumbling from the east has its epicenter in Istanbul. It must be Gemal Ataturk. If any nation ever demonstrated why religion must go it was Turkey. Oh well, back to the dark age again….
