Skirting the issue

Women in Arab/Muslim countries are more likely to die of breast cancer: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071024/ap_on_he_me/saudi_breast_cancer. Why is that? Well, they are unwilling to go to a male doctor because of the gender apartheid endemic in their society. And get a load of the title of the article, which talks about "cultural barriers" preventing the women from seeking medical attention. How politically correct of Yahoo to caption the article that way...............

Disgusting how Islam allows women to suffer and die in the name of their faith.
Our Rabbis long ago decreed that pikuach nefesh kadma laTorah, saving a life supercedes the commandments of the Torah.
