Three doctors sentenced to flogging in Iran for ‘insulting’ cleric
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Three medical doctors have been sentenced to flogging in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on charges of "insulting" a controversial holy man who denounces modern medicine and recently burned the world's leading internal medicine textbook in a viral video.

The doctors have been sentenced to 60 lashes each for "insulting" Abbas Tabrizian, a holy man who burned Harrison’s Manual of Medicine among his followers in a viral video in January.
"We don't need medicine and drugs and stuff! We've got ISLAM!"
Tabrizian ‐ considered the "father of Islamic medicine" by his followers ‐ is an advocate for treating patients using "Islamic medicine" rather than modern medicine.

"Islamic medicine" relies on the sayings of the Shia Imams to treat patients.

Tabrizian has written a number of books on Islamic medicine and runs an Islamic medicine center. The center’s website sells medicinal herbs, as well as products such as "Islamic soap" and "Islamic toothbrush."

Powerful holy man Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi ‐ reportedly an advocate for Islamic medicine and once considered to be a possible successor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
...the actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
‐ died in 2018 due to trusting Islamic medicine, according to his son.

"The Islamic doctors told my father to not pay attention to what the modern doctors were saying about his health," Ala Hashemi-Shahroudi said last December.

Iran’s highest authority Supreme Leader Khamenei is also believed to be an advocate for Islamic medicine.

#1 Sounds like a scam conducted using Islam as a cover.

#4 60 lashes? Can a human of ordinary health even physically survive such torture?

#5 All this arose when the docs identified the "holy man's" symptoms as consistent with hoof and mouth disease, usually acquired by a too-close association with the livestock.

#6 ^ Quick browse suggests that such a number, even administered in one session, would very likely be survived by healthy people. Got it down to a science, apparently (as much as anything else, anyway). Although I do wonder about the frame of mind of "offenders" in SA greeting their umpteenth weekly dose of 50. The two "sodomites" who drew 7000 each, say.

#7 An almost perfect symbol for the mullahs' misrule. Graft + bestiality + barbarous stupidity + murderous cruelty directed toward Iran's best people...

#8 I wholly support Muslims relying entirely on Muslim Medicine for all their medical needs because not doing so shows their faith is weak. I also think that doctors who practice Western medicine ought to fully support their choice to practice Muslim Medicine.
