A disturbing story from Britain about the shameful treatment of injured soldiers: Muslim Threatens Injured Soldier In His Hospital Bed. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

A report from today’s Telegraph reports that a paratrooper who had received injuries while serving his country in Afghanistan has been threatened by a Muslim fanatic. The soldier was in a hospital bed in Selly Oak, Birmingham, and unable to defend himself due to his injuries.

The paratrooper had been approached by a Muslim who came onto the open ward, which was shared by the paratrooper, another soldier and four civilians. No-one had made any attempt to prevent the Muslim from getting onto the unlocked ward. According to the paratrooper’s relatives, the Muslim fanatic had wandered onto the ward twice before, without being stopped by staff.

The fanatic approached the soldier, who was still in his uniform after being evacuated from Afghanistan and said in a tirade: “You have been killing my Muslim brothers in Afghanistan.”

Eleven soldiers are currently being treated at Selly Oak hospital. With conditions in Afghanistan becoming more intense, the number of injured military is expected to rise. Last month soldiers voiced their concerns at being left on open mixed wards. Senior officers and MPs have branded the Ministry of Defence policy as a “disgrace” and have called for military wards.
