Guess what’s probably behind the spread of Ebola in West Africa? (Hint: It begins with “I”)
ISLAMIC BURIAL RITUALS: Islam isn’t just at the heart of the threat posed by ISIS. The religion is also contributing to the other major crisis plaguing the globe: the spread of Ebola. Washington and its media stenographers won’t tell you this, lest they look intolerant, but Islamic burial rituals are a key reason why health officials can’t contain the spread of the deadly disease in West Africa.
Faith Freedom (By Paul Sperry Investors.com) Many of the victims of Ebola in the three hot-spot nations there — Sierra Leone and Guinea, as well as neighboring Liberia — are Muslim. Roughly 73% of Sierra Leone’s and about 85% of Guinea’s people are Muslim. Islam, moreover, is practiced by more than 13% of Liberians.
When Muslims die, family members don’t turn to a funeral home or crematorium to take care of the body. In Islam, death is handled much differently. Relatives personally wash the corpses of loved ones from head to toe. Often, several family members participate in this posthumous bathing ritual, known as Ghusl.
