Oh yes. Based on a new understanding of the Islamic texts. Because, as we all know, "In the beginning was the word". Here's Yemeni cleric Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani on Al-Jazeera, September 21:
TV host: We welcome you to this show, in which we will speak with Sheik [Al-Zindani], about his announcement yesterday that he received an official patent for his cure for AIDS. [...]
Let us begin by talking about your receiving this patent from the World Intellectual Property Organization [WIPO], which is part of the UN and is represented in over 100 countries.
Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani: Its headquarters are in Europe, and it has 185 member states. [...]
Since the AIDS disease first appeared and to this day, nobody in the world has claimed, to the best of my knowledge, that he has managed to find a treatment that eliminates the AIDS virus. [...]
We have managed to prove, through laboratory evidence, that we have a medicine that eliminates the AIDS virus. [...]
No hadith and no Islamic scholar has ever said that this specific herb cures AIDS. This is something I concluded from various indications. With the grace of Allah, nobody realized this but me.
Many a doctor and many a pharmacist have come across these hadiths, but they did not mention that this herb cures AIDS. But Allah bestowed this breakthrough upon me, and I became the patent holder. This reflects a new understanding of the Islamic texts, as well as a new understanding of the disease and how to cure it.
And that's not all.
Abd Al-Majid Al-Zindani: I would like to announce that I have the cure for heart failure. This disease had no treatment so far except for a surgical procedure, in which they pull out the heart, throw it away, and put in a new one. Many patients die in the best hospitals in the world while waiting for the right heart.
I hereby announce – and Allah willing, it will be just like or even better than the AIDS affair – that I have ten proven cases of people who were cured after taking this medicine for a period of one month and 10 days, or two months, or what was it?
That's it! The heart failure is gone, and there's no need for surgery.
And in the meantime in Israel:

Yes, that's quite a contrast.

Don't you love the Israelis? They found a suicide bomber that works.
