CCTAU 3,429 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 ISLAMIC HOLY NAMES And now for a bit of insensitivity ... A fatwa has been issued in Dubai to immediately ban the printing of names on labels of sample bottles. Are you with me here? This means that if your name is Mohammed and you go to the doctor for a checkup, the doctor can't ask you to pee in the cup and put your name on the label. These are the little bottles provided at hospitals and laboratories. And why are they so concerned about names on these medical bottles? Because the Dubai Islamic Affairs Department does not want the 99 names of the Almighty God printed on a bottle containing urine or stool samples. This is offensive to Islam because it desecrates the glorious names of God. Blowing your ass up in the middle of a group of women and children isn't offensive to Islam.

quietfan 233 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I would think most clinics/hospitals, etc. anywhere would rely on file/case numbers instead of names anyway, as names are more easily confused...I mean, even in the U.S., names can be duplicated where numbers won't. I.e., there may be multiple patients named "John Smith", but only one "49XB28F11" in the lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
