GLOBAL PROBLEMS AND THE NEED FOR ISLAMIC SOLUTIONS

The world Is plagued by all sorts of problems – social unrest, political instabilities, mass poverty and destitution, prostitution, homicides, killings, drug addiction, alcoholism, family break-ups, Juvenile delinquency, suicides, and the so-called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome(AIOS)

The AIDS Epidemic

The so-called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is currently the wor1d’s most frightening killer disease.

The Nobel Laureate Dr. Hoshua Lederberg, President of Rockefeller University, said that AIDS would become the wor1d’s third-leading killer disease to kill 10 percent of the wor1d’s population over the next 20 years.1

Addressing the opening session of a two-day medical conference at the University of West Indies, on the theme “Emerging Viruses as a Threat to Mankind”, Lederberg also predicted that “some nations” might lose as much as 40 percent of their population over the next 1O years because of the AIDS virus.”

Statistics released by the World Health Organization (WHO) reveal that the total confirmed AIDS cases wor1dwide passed the 200,000 mark in 1989.·

 The United States, the world’s worst AIDS-affected country, accounts for more than 113 thousand people living with total AIDS worldwide in 1989.

2 Brazil (9,555 cases through December of 1989) is the highest in Latin America. It ranks second to the United States on a global basis. France, with 8,022 patients, is the highest In Europe and is the world’s

third-ranking AIDS country.1 Other major AIDS-stricken areas are Malawi, at a rate of 22.2 per 100,000 people), Swltzerfand (5.9 per 100,000 people) and Australia (2.8 per 100,000 people).2.

On a regional basis, America accounts for roughly 70% of the world’s total AIDS cases; Europe and Africa combined, approximately 26%; and Oceania and Asia, the marginal balance. However, WHO Secretary-General Dr. Hiroshi Najma believes that the actual number of AIDS cases was more than twice as high.

He estimates that “there are at least 375,000 cases of AIDS and between 5 million to 10 million persons are infected by the virus who will die sooner or later.” 3 Lately, WHO estimated that the worldwide number of AIDS cases would reach more than 1 million by 1991 and climb to almost 6 million by the end of the 1990S.4

The people living with usual AIDS are homosexuals and prostitutes. Thus, AIDS is a mere by­ product of homosexuality, sodomy, and prostitution-related menaces. The AIDS epidemic has already started hitting some Christian clergymen because many of them are homosexuals.

In fact, 20% of the U.S. Catholic clergy are reportedly homosexual, of which 50% are sexually active.

Also cited in the February 23, 1987, issue of Newsweek, this was the conclusion of Baltimore therapist A.W. Richard Sipe’s 25-year (1960-1985) study covering 1,500 interviews, out of the total 57,000 catholic priests. Himself a former priest, Sipe believes that the number of gay priests in the United States has increased significantly.

In fact, in Gay Priests, a book recently published by Harper and Row, University of Kentucky researcher James G. Wolf revealed that the extent of clerical homosexuality is In the range of 40% to 60%, as estimated by his respondents, who themselves are gay priests. Only one of those Interviewed reported that he had
