Do we really need doctors from Pakistan?
There is still that contingent of the GOP which says things like “let’s pin a diploma to every foreign graduate” and “we need more H1-B visas so talented foreigners can come to America.”
Let’s revisit the case of Muhammad Masood, a Pakistani doctor, who came to America in 2018 to work as a researcher at the world-famous Mayo Clinic.
Masood was named a Mayo Bronze Quality Fellow and conducted clinic trials. Then he joined ISIS.
Now he’s going away for a long time, at taxpayer expense, where he can conduct research in prison.
A former Mayo Clinic research coordinator was sentenced Friday to 18 years in federal prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
Masood’s attorney, Jordan Kushner, blamed his client’s action on mental illness. But Senior U.S. District Judge Paul A. Magnuson told Masood that not withstanding those issues, “First and foremost, you are sitting in this court as a convicted terrorist. That’s the way it is.”
Magnuson noted that before his arrest, Masood had said: “I will kill or be killed.”
While the thrust of the case involves Masood trying to join ISIS abroad, there were mentions of terrorist attacks in America.
On February 13,2020, MASOOD and CHS-I discussed via SMP the process by which ISIS recruits foreign fighters. During this discussion, MASOOD told CHS-I “you know fbrother]…there is so much I wanted to do here…lon wulf [sic] stuff you know…but I realizedl should be on the ground helping brothers sisters kids inshAllah.” Based on my training and experience, and the context of the conversations between MASOOD and CHS-I, I believe MASOOD is referring to wanting to conduct “lone wolf’ terrorist attacks on the United States.
BB indicated to CHS-I that because he was currently in the United States, “sometimes i wanto [sic] attack enemy when i am behind enemy linea [sic] itself’ because “not many people cant [sic] even reach here to attack.” Discussing his travel to make Hijra, BB noted that he will lose the chance to conduct an attack in the United States: “i wonder if I will miss the opportunity of attacking the enemy when I was in the middle of it.”
Also Masood hated smiling at Kufar or non-Muslims.
BB explained to CHS-I that BB wanted to make Hijra because BB “hates smiling at the passing kuffarl3 just to not make them suspicios [sic] . . . I cannot tolerate it anymore.”
Do we really need doctors from Pakistan or anyone from Pakistan?

The answer is, “no. no we don’t.”
He was hired by Mayo Clinc to do research. He should not have been for so many reasons.
Did he not have to fill out an application? Did they not notice he is just about illiterate?
I cannot recall all of the details from the previous posting about this terrorist, but it seems he had some access to areas that made Americans….the ones he was trying to fool by pretending to smile…unsafe. Just by being at Mayo.
If that clinic hires such as he, then that clinic should not be given the trust it has been given in the past.
I have stopped relying on things it has to say about aspects of health, auto-immune issues and other medical questions I have.
This terrorist should be sent to Cuba with some info about how he was becoming friends with infidels and liking living in America.

not all jihadi attacks are large and conspicuous or short lived and violent. the baker that puts feces in his cake frosting or the doctor that knows how to cause more accidental infections or the sandwich maker that spits in your food how many food recalls have been caused by intentional acts of jihadis getting right with their god.

Some years ago, it was reported…in a small way….that baby food had been contaminated on purpose. There weren’t any follow-up, or updated, accounts about it, so it was never revealed, to my knowledge, who was responsible.
Just to think about how many companies, such as Heinz foods, and the slaughter industry hire mozlums, is enough to cause one to worry about the food we eat.
there have been mozlums who own restaurants and have deliberately contaminated the food.
As long as mozlums are allowed to do as they choose to do, no one is safe.

Good points, Bruce and Somehistory. And doctors can do more damage than food handlers. But all of them can cause harm.
Kalit says
Certificates for becoming a pilot were being purchased in Pakistan, so why not medical degrees by would-be soldiers of Allah?!
gravenimage says
I wonder how carefully he was vetted? And .how low are medical standards in Pakistan, even if he hadn’t been a Jihadist?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Good question, Daniel. Maybe we should make greater use of telehealth to address doctor shortages in any part of the country. Going forward, maybe AI will make it easier for just primary care phyicians to do anything
FYI says
That smug face of the islamic supremacist.That superior look of someone who follows a warped cult that refers to all of us infidels as ‘The WORST of created beings”, a question no muslim will answer{YES/NO?}”
Do ask and see!YES or NO muslim/muslima?No response to such a little question?
I could explain that allah is not omniscient koran 5:116
i could explain that muhammed is the most obvious false prophet ever{even by his own admission { al tabari 6:111} and that the world amazingly didn’t end 100 years of perfect mo’s life amongst us infidels.
I could explain that the errors in the koran{scientific,Theological,logical} show it to be false.
So let’s see:we have a false god,a false prophet and a false scripture and all provably so
{I wouldn’t trust a diagnosis from such a doctor,sorry}
And he can’t figure it or most likely he doesn’t want to figure it.
He’s superior to us infidels but due to the absence of the zebibah,probably not sufficently pious for his allah.
OLD GUY says
Part of the problem lies with our universities and colleges endowment funds. Most of which contain millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other muslim nations and I’ll toss in China. Plus the fact that almost all of these foreign students have all of their tuition and living cost paid for by their home country, Cash cow for higher education.
G. Frank Hearn says
Mmmm me thinkest that the selection criteria of the Mayo Clinic is somehow floored. Do errors in judgement like this reflect on its standing and change its “world famous” standing to “Woke famous”? Just asking.

Well, the Mayo Clinic has had problems before. Please see my post below. Seems they have learned nothing.

Just appalling. No, we don’t need doctors from Pakistan.
And there have been other problems with the Mayo Clinic:
