Debbie Schlussel: Good News: More Potential "Love" in the Islamic World
With so many reports of animals raped by members of the "Religion of Peace," back in the old country, this is the best news our friends in the Islamic world have heard all century. In fact, this is a people whose clerics brag about how they warred each other when some of them raped a female camel ("the female camel was humiliated, and they warred to defend her honor"). Alhamdillullah [praise allah], the brothers in Dubai have figured out a way to clone sex partners.
Scientists in Dubai say they have created the world's first cloned camel, according to reports in United Arab Emirates newspapers.Gulf News quotes the director of Dubai's Camel Reproduction Center as saying the achievement will save a rare species from becoming instinct and "gives a means of preserving the valuable genetics of our elite racing and milk-producing camels in the future."
The BBC, quoting UAE papers, says Injaz, a female one-humped camel, was born last week after more than five years of work. Scientists say DNA taken from a cell in the ovary of an adult camel was put into an egg from a surrogate mother.
According to one of the UAE papers, the donor camel was killed for its meat in 2005, but its DNA was preserved.
Like Jay Leno used to say in the Frito Lay chip ads:
If you run out, don't worry. We'll make more.
Sounds like a great new slogan for the Camel Reproduction Center.
