A Bangladesh hospital has suspended plans to give donated breast milk to babies after a backlash by Muslim clerics who said the scheme violated Islamic law.

The programme aimed to feed up to 500 orphans and infants of working mothers in the Muslim-majority country, which has high rates of child malnutrition and stunted growth.

"Their entire marriage and lineage would become illegal," said Gazi Ataur Rahman, a spokesman of the influential Islami Andolan Bangladesh political party. "It would go against Islam," he said, suggesting that the authorities should have discussed this "very sensitive issue" beforehand with clerics.

suepeac This is totally ridiculous. If a child drank milk from the same mother and they later get married, this causes no genetic changes to the body. Drinking the milk from another mother does make that child hers. Just wow! What a bunch of bull 💩.

of course, next on the agenda: banning adoption. Neanderthal imbeciles doing their best to return us to a 'simpler' time.

Oh religion, an excuse for asshole's everywhere.

Bangladesh, Bangladesh, Where so many babies are dying fast and it sure looks like a mess...Now won't you give some milk to get the starving fed?

No what am I going to put in my morning coffee Ffs

ugh, religion kills so much progress. Keep that shit at home and in your places of worship.

The irresponsible and unnecessary posting of this story will certainly inflame Canadian-based Islamophobia!

BTW, its now clear that CTV news is systematically spreading islamophobia by posting the same news twice a day. Its an utter shame to call yourself a news media.

Nutrition, not genetic material, is absorbed from breast milk, (but please don’t let science get in the way of narrow mindedness). What kind of god would deny a starving baby nutrition?

Dear all islamophobe twitters FYI. Islamist doesn’t represent islam. Quran and authentic hadeeth’s does. In fact, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) breast fed and raised by foster mother Halima Saadia, from Banu Saad tribe. Don’t judge the car by its driver. ✌️

No surprise, this is a country that is 90% Muslim, Islam really gets confused when they see a calendar noting its 2019 and not 620CE. Milking camels is allowed.

They’re looking for a solution...it’s so obvious...

Now Religious Nutcases are taking milk away from malnourished babies.

Once again the religion of peace steps on good things in the world, for the most ridiculous reasons.

Why are we toletant of Islamist intolerance?

Religion is the biggest problem in the world today and it has been for a long time. God is a social invention. A fantasy which people in the past used to explain things they didn’t understand, and later, to have others do what they want.

This is ridiculous ! Babies need milk to live and people can’t help because it’s against their law !!?

But marrying your first cousin is ok...

Yeah we don’t want to offend Islamists do we, just sit quietly until they come to convert you or whatever.....

Coming soon to a burqa near you.

This is what happens when Islam has a say in things.

Huh?

God forbid poor Islamist are offended..

So are those Islamists gonna breastfeed them?

Those darned islamists! It always something , eh?

This why all fanatics who turn religion as tool for controll should not have power so much hate and fear is spread by religion

Islam a religion of superstition based on man made doctrines. This statement is not to belittle the faithful, it is based on the truth. If only more Muslims would study the real history of how the Koran and its commentaries came together.

They approved beheadings and they shut down the milk bank..what a religion of peace

Allah will provide?

Will happen here someday too.

To all faithers : Happy Superstition Season!

Let babies starve, as per the Islamists

was this a tit for tat act?

Crackpots calling donating breast milk to babies an illegal scheme, a violation of Islamic law... They are disgustingly ignorant.

dumb idea for breast milk bank.. no one knows what it could be contaminated with.. like opioids. could kill a baby

MY GOD these ppl are F’D!

Islam oozes peace and tolerance. Everyone is so damn happy all the time we should import 300k a year and let them run the show.

Religion ruined everything! How sad. Those poor babies

Can’t upset the Islamists.
