Some jobs don't suit orthodox Muslims: ex-commissioner

#2  Dr Ozdowski says while Australian universities are secular and it is important to keep them that way, there are measures such as providing prayer spaces that can help.

Bad start there, Doc. Accomodating Muslim demands in any way shape or form is just the thin edge of an even bigger wedge. Stop now before it gets out of control, as it is most assuredly going to do.

"When we expect Muslim students to attend classes on Friday, we need to help them so they can pray as well," he said.

No you do not. All Muslims know that if there are legitimate circumstances preventing timely observance then they are not being sinful. Any who claim otherwise are pushing the usual bullshit agenda of endlessly offended Muslim sensitivities.

"When we deal with nurses' training, some Islamic women were saying, 'We don't like to touch bodies of men,' but it's not appropriate," he said.

"If they do not wish to touch all their patients which require nursing, then perhaps they should think about some other profession when it's not required."


These whiners need to slag off. They can specialize in Ob-Gyn if they want. Too bad the first step usually involves obtaining status as an LVN or RN. I can just envision one of these finnickey Islamic nurses letting a man needlessly die out of refusal to provide critical first aid. No mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for someone—not even a woman—who choked while eating a BLT.
