WASHINGTON (AFP) - An
AIDS crisis is threatening to overwhelm many predominantly Muslim countries but their leaders remain in a state of denial and are doing little to stem the deadly problem, a pioneering study says.

In one of the most comprehensive reports on AIDS covering the Muslim world, experts warned of serious repercussions if governments continued to sweep the problem under the carpet.

In a report released by the Seattle-based think tank, the National Bureau of Asian Research, they said "if leaders continue to ignore the problem, AIDS could debilitate or even destabilize some of these societies by killing large numbers of people in the 15 to 49-year age group."

This would deprive the Muslim countries of some of their best, brightest, and most economically productive members, said Laura Kelley and Nicholas Eberstadt in the report.

This is yet another example of religion having a bad influence on government. Government which is based on religion makes bad judgments and decisions. That's why religion and government should be separate. What do you think?

I have read that their culture doesn't even have a word for homosexual in their culture. But, based on the Islamic hatred and mistreatment of women, I'm sure there must be IMO a large participation in homosexuality among the men in that culture.
