Muslims may declare Botox 'unclean'

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Islamic authorities in Malaysia are debating whether bacteria used in Botox injections for cosmetic reasons are "unclean" by Koran standards.

The National Fatwa Council on Monday declared "black metal" music was unacceptable for Muslims, saying it could cause listeners to rebel against religion, and then turned its attention to Botox, Sky News reported.

Plastic surgery is prohibited by Malaysian Muslims for cosmetic reasons, but Botox is also used for treating disorders such as cerebral palsy. Botox is derived from a type of bacteria that causes food poisoning.

In tiny doses, its paralytic qualities can smooth facial wrinkles.

"We want to see whether or not it is filth," Fatwa Council spokesman Shukor Husin said.

Oh, well, there ya' go. Who needs the FDA when we have the Muslims to determine whether or not something is "filth."

Is there anything left on planet Earth that hasn't yet been declared "unclean" by "Muslim authorities"?

And how would they even know what "black metal" is? It's a dark, melodic style that's popular mostly in northern Europe and Scandinavian countries. You'd think hundreds of thousands of Muslims moved there.....oh, wait...

Don't they eat cheese and yogurt? These are products of bacterial action.

Botox is filth.
John Frenchy Kerry uses Botox
John Frenchy Kerry is filth.


Why was this analysis and conclusion delayed?

What about butchering teachers of young girls. That's my idea of pure filth.
