AArrghhhh!!!! I am presuming that the doctor in the story is Moslem. I realize that there are a fair number of Palestinians who are Christian, too. Having said that...
The story is presented as if this is a Swedish problem with Americans. Once I started reading it, though, this is an Arab problem. Perhaps it is also an Islamic problem.
I hate the way the media downplays or ignores the obvious bigotry and xenophobia of the Arab and/or Islamic world. If an American doctor did this to a Palestinian, the headlines would scream about the "hatred" against the Palestinian who obviously could have died and was sick with a near-fatal disease. This situation? The American is "turned away."
Thanks for the rant this morning.
I agree, if this were reversed and the Dr. was an expat in Sweden who turned away a Palestinian there'd be a riot someplace.
