That's Gotta Be Haram...

Doctors in the UK are using some seriously unconventional procedures to save the terrorists that tried to blow themselves up in Glasgow.

DOCTORS are to use skin made from SHARKS to treat the terror suspect horrifically burned in the Glasgow Airport attack.

Surgeons struggling to save Kafeel Ahmed, 27, have turned to a revolutionary treatment.

The expensive process involves a skin substitute made from shark cartilage and cow tendons. A source said: “Ahmed is being treated with these grafts because there is nothing left on his body that can be used.”

The Glasgow Royal Infirmary insider added: “He is receiving the latest technology to try to heal the skin — but there is still little hope of him surviving.

“In the past, pig skin was used to treat severe burns, but the shark skin treatment is used now.”

So, Haram or Halal?  Does it count if it's incorporated into your own body?  I think we can be reasonably sure that the pig skin is right out - can you imagine the howling if they'd used that technique?

I truly hope the guy lives to stand trial.  That'll be some fun times spent thinking about the procedure.

The whole point was to die a martyr, and keeping him alive minimizes the personal sacrifice of the attack.

It would be better for him and his cause if we just let him die, yet in trying to heal him our true compassionate nature is revealed.

Who is truly following God's will?  The terrorist bomber?  Or his intended victims who are now trying to heal him?
