Plagues in World History

Plagues in World History provides a concise, comparative world history of catastrophic infectious diseases, including plague, smallpox, tuberculosis, cholera, influenza, and AIDS. Geographically, these diseases have spread across the entire globe; temporally, they stretch from the sixth century to the present. John Aberth considers not only the varied impact that disease has had upon human history but also the many ways in which people have been able to influence diseases simply through their cultural attitudes toward them. The author argues that the ability of humans to alter disease, even without the modern wonders of antibiotic drugs and other medical treatments, is an even more crucial lesson to learn now that AIDS, swine flu, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and other seemingly incurable illnesses have raged worldwide. Aberth's comparative analysis of how different societies have responded in the past to disease illuminates what cultural approaches have been and may continue to be most effective in combating the plagues of today.

Certainly the jew and their USURY have to be the worst plague this world has and will ever see.

It was Allah that gave mankind intelligence, but it was Mohammed that took it back.
The big question is though, what did Mohammed give Ramikaz in return , syphilis ???

Seriously enough, with the hate. Islam is insanity, Judaism is insanity, and so is Christianity. Its all so warped and filtered, that is lost its true meaning. Know is nothing more than an excuse to hate and kill.
