It is actually believed by many Arabs and Muslims throughout the West is deliberately causing Islamic deaths by deliberately spreading disease and resorts to these means because the West has not other way of controlling Islam.

The supporting evidence is that the Israelis have a very sophisticated biomedicine capability. Israel itself has a very low rate of AIDS, and AIDS is spread by promiscuous sex. Everyone knows that Islam does not allow promiscuity so therefore AIDS in Islamic lands must be being spread by the Israelis. Ironically, Arab nations have a relatively low AIDS rate.
