Do Islamic doctors take the Hippocratic Oath?

"First, do no harm."

There are FIVE physicians implicated in the latest British terror wave, and perhaps another just taken into custody in Brisbane, Australia.

And it's early yet.

Perhaps Islamic physicians are not required to take the Hippocratic Oath, and then again, perhaps radical Islamists feel that any oath that conflicts with their understanding of righteous jihad is not binding.

Which leaves a reasonable man with only one conclusion: how can you place trust in people who will not keep their word?

And while we sure wouldn't want to be so insensitive as to profile people, it does raise an interesting question of when do you know whether a Muslim doctor is a true believer in the oath he takes to preserve life, and when he's just a true believer in the global jihad?

The answer, as we see it, is not that difficult, but we are less squeamish than most about abandoning the straight-jacket of political correctness that is leading our nation to the edge of tragedy.

The rest of you, think about it. Time is short.
