MHS (Muslim Health Service)?

I see a leading "expert" (Islamic, of course) has suggested that the NHS should provide more faith-based care for Muslims, as they are "about twice as likely to report poor health and disability than the general population", apparently.

Naturally, the BBC makes no effort to investigate or explain this statement. I would say that if Muslims ARE genuinely unhealthier than regular Britons this could be because of the seeming blindness of Sharia towards marrying close relatives. Indeed, Mohammed himself played an active part in getting his daughter married to his own cousin. Such interbreeding naturally wreaks all sorts of genetic problems. A reluctance to join the 21st Century in general in favour of primitive Islamic doctrine is a major factor.

But the BBC wouldn't tell us something like THAT, would they?
