Nice to see that modernization is having the predicted ameliorating effect on radical Islam. There were these two, who planned "indiscriminate and wholesale murder"...

Two NHS doctors planned a campaign of "indiscriminate and wholesale murder" with a series of car bomb attacks across Britain which culminated in a failed suicide attack on Glasgow Airport, a jury has been told. ... [they] tried and failed to blow up cars packed with gas canisters, nails and petrol outside a nightclub in London's West End in June 2007. When those devices failed to detonate, Abdulla and Ahmed launched the alleged suicide attack on Glasgow Airport the following day... Saudi-born Asha, a senior house officer in the neurology department of University Hospital of North Staffordshire... supplied money to buy the cars and bomb components, was in touch with the other two men at crucial stages of the plot and may have offered "spiritual and ideological guidance"

... and now there's the Muslims doctor who wants the police to beat homosexuals in the streets so they don't spread diseases:

A leading Muslim doctor called for gays to feel 'the stick of the law' to protect society from their 'ravages'... Dr Muhammad Siddiq, president of the Islamic Medical Association, wrote to a magazine for GPs accusing homosexuals of spreading disease with their 'irresponsible behaviour'... 'the gays are worse than the ordinary careless citizen, they are causing the spread of illness and they are the root cause of many sexually transmitted diseases... they neither need sympathy or help, what they need is the stick of the law to put them on the right path and mend their ways and behaviour. 'We need to protect society from their ravages. They are preying on society.'

Meanwhile one of the UK's nutjob clerics is now telling Muslim boys to walk around with knives. That doesn't really have anything to do with doctors or modernization, but it's still depressing in that "I'm going to miss Westminster Abbey" kind of way.
