Senior Muslim doctor denies writing anti-gay letter

A homophobic Muslim doctor is being disciplined for saying that homosexuals, “need the stick of law to put them on the right path” and that they deserve neither help nor pity.

This Hippocratic slur comes from a doctor who is the President of the Islamic Medical Association, which claims to represent 99% of the UK Muslim community.

The offending medic, Dr Muhammad Siddiq, wrote in a letter to doctor’s magazine Pulse:

“There is punishment and fine if you throw rubbish or filth in the streets. The gays are worse than the ordinary careless citizen.

“They are causing the spread of disease with their irresponsible behaviour. They are the root of many sexually transmitted diseases.”

The letter went on to call a depressed transsexual awaiting gender reassignment “twisted.”
