Nonsense over polio vaccine

In Nigerian, untold numbers are about to suffer since the Islamists there refuse to allow polio vaccines. How mindless is the support for these morons?
Men in and around the city's main market say they support the Kano government's position, and some say that strong, Islamic-based political leadership is critical in guiding their own decisions.
'We depend on our religion,' says Mohammed Kabir, a Kano student. 'Anything our leader says, we are going to agree with him.'
Instructive both on the problems on setting up government based on faith, and on how dumb it is to support blindly a leader for no reason other than he is the leader.
