Watch for the DNC to start featuring Hojjat ol-Eslam Seyyed Mohammad Saeedi in campaign ads.
“Iran Cleric Blames Trump For Coronavirus Outbreak In Religious City,” Radio Farda, February 22, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Friday Prayer Imam of the religious city of Qom, the epicenter of coronavirus outbreak in Iran, told his congregation Saturday that U.S. President Donald Trump targeted the city with coronavirus “to damage its culture and honor”.
Most of the coronavirus cases in Iran include people living in Qom and those who have visited the religious city recently. These cases have no clear epidemiological link to the outbreak in China.
Qom is the religious capital of Iran, home to many seminaries and the Shrine of Masoumeh and a bastion for hardliners. The city’s economy revolves around the Shrine which thousands of pilgrims from Iran and other countries visit every day.
According to social media users after two deaths were reported in Qom on Thursday the usually crowded streets of the city look abandoned.
Speaking during evening prayers Hojjat ol-Eslam Seyyed Mohammad Saeedi who is also the Custodian of the Shrine of Masoumeh said Trump has targeted the city because Qom is a “shelter for the Shiites of the world, the center of religious seminaries and the city where Shiite sources of emulation live”.
“The enemy wants to instill fear in people’s hearts, make Qom look like an unsafe city and to take revenge for all its defeats,” the Friday Prayer leader said. “Trump will die frustrated in his wish to see Qom defeated,” he went on to tell his congregation….
According to Saeedi, by targeting Qom Trump is fulfilling his promise of hitting Iranian cultural sites if Iranians took revenge for the U.S. killing of Qods Force Commander Qassem Soleimani….

Don’t worry about your grammar, Lion Heart–I knew what you meant. Yes–this is also like blaming the Jews for everything. Ayaan Hrisi Ali wrote about living in Saudi Arabia as a child, and that people even blamed things like their car running out of gas or their having a fight with their boss on the Jews. Just bizarre superstition.

When the virus first appeared in China, quoran thumpers gleefully pointed out that this was allah’s revenge against the Chinese for their treatment of uyghurs. Now that it’s hit an islamic country, these same quoran thumpers are saying it’s evil Trump’s fault. Since allah was apparently unable to stop Trump from foisting the virus on iran, it’s obvious that Trump is more powerful than mo’s sock puppet.
Kepha says
It was probably brought by an Iranian arms buyer who made a trip to China, came back infected, and went to pray at one of Qom’s shrines.
Warmac9999 says
May he dump a thousand thousand locusts on their heads as well. Trump has that power you know
gravenimage says
Just what I was going to point out, 6woods.
Infidel says
Not just that, consider the irony. Shi’a eschatology has it that the 12th imam is supposed to come out of a well, and lead the final destruction of the world.
Instead, some Iranian got infected w/ the virus, went to Qum on a pilgrimage, and ended up infecting a lot of people. Now, Qum has become the Wuhan of Iran.
Maybe it’s the djinn who decided to marry the covad19 and then follow the Mahdi’s commands
Mateen Elass says
Or that Trump is Allah….
Infidel says
There is the other possibility – allah was so pleased w/ Trump condemning the Chinese persecution of Uyghurs that he gave him the power to carry out his threats w/o even planning to. So the moment the shi’a faithful started condemning Trump for killing Suleimani, allah decided to now release the coronavirus on the Iranians in addition to the Chinese ?
tim gallagher says
Yes, these Muslim spokesmen truly do have shit for brains , don’t they. Trying to find any kind of logic in their dumb, demented ravings is impossible. First it was a curse from Allah on China, now it’s Trump sending the virus to Iran. Any rubbish will do. The inside of these Muslim preachers’ brains must be unbelievably scrambled. I have seen it before from someone at Jihad Watch, 6woods, (maybe it was you), but I like that saying that Allah was Muhammad’s sock puppet because I’m sure Muhammad made all this self-serving crap up about a god called having spoken to him and the sock puppet naturally always told Muhammad to just do whatever he felt like doing (like having sex with 9 year old Aisha, etc.) Allah, the sock puppet indeed.
tim gallagher says
A correction – I meant to say “a god called Allah having spoken to him” up above.
keith says
Wow, one of the deep thinkers of Islam.
He sounds like a Democrat, “anything that goes wrong is obviously Trumps fault”.
Keys says
Indeed. I hope the Iranian government televises their investigations to prove Trump did this.
It will make them look really smart in the eyes of their countrymen. / sarc off
Infidel says
They should hire Adam Schiff to investigate Trump conducting biological warfare against Iran w/o approval from congress. This would be a win-win: Schiff would get another opportunity to impeach Trump, and it will be a propaganda coup for Iran as well.
Hopefully, they can gloss over the fact that Schitt is a jooooooooooo: if Hamas can give Stanley Cohen a pass, maybe Iran too can give Adam Schiff a pass
Matthieu Baudin says
It looks increasingly likely that this virus will spread out from multiple sites in numerous countries and blame will be dished out in all directions. The virus has hit within spitting distance of my own abode and 2020 now looks to be a year marked by withdrawal and isolation. These circumstances may however benefit this website as many more concerned people spend more time in their own homes in self isolation and can find more time to freely share their thoughts and read articles from around the world that draw attention to the significant problems of the current global jihad. Best wishes to you all and may things be on the mend by the time Christmas comes around.
6woods says
I understand your sentiments to a point. However, as a small business owner in the tourism industry who was severely affected by the SARS epidemic of several years ago, I’m not looking forward to people spending “more time in their own homes in self-isolation”. Islam, plagues, and pestilence notwithstanding (the three are indistinguishable, in my opinion), life must go on.
Carol the 1st says
@6woods – To a great extent you’re correct of course and it will be a matter of balancing the odds. I’m semi-self-employed and thus have to stick my nose out here and there – one does find they have to take chances, but I’m old enough to be philosophical about the world losing me etc. In the meantime it seems we have a unique responsibility to be as cautious with this virus as we can afford to be. It can mutate with great facility and speed (something to do with it using RNA rather than DNA).
Canadian Frank Vaughan has been working very hard on this subject and his videos are greatly appreciated e.g. FVP #139.
David Cooper says
My thoughts entirely Mattieu.As unfortunate as it is,it will be interesting to speculate on the ramifications thisvirulence will have on known despotic regimes such as Iran Pakistan where it is rapidly gainingfoothold. It is know these their systems are ill equipped to deall with such a disaster.Allah and Moh will be short on advice and assistance.They may end up going cap in hand to superior Israeli knowlege and research.

It’s enough to burst some bubbles, isn’t it?

Mr. Baudin,
I don’t know where you live, but please stay safe!!
Kepha says
In any case, ordinary flu is more of a threat in the USA and has killed more people this year.
Further, I will wait for further evidence before I believe WHO’s report that China has its caseload under control. WHO always takes the host government’s data and assessment, and, as a Marxist-Leninist state, China needs to prove it’s on top of things and all is peachy.

So Trump has made the big time. He’s in great company. Usually they blame Mossad.

Iran: Muslim cleric blames Trump for coronavirus outbreak in Islamic holy city of Qom

Muslims now hate and fear President Trump as much as they hate the Israelis. Fine company, and good job Mr. President!

Trump is Satan in disguise if he can do all these things!!
I feel sorry for the citizens of this once great country. There is no way out after getting into the clutches of the mullahs.
Westman says
Since Allah is the most poweful being in the Universe, could asily have prevented the virus, and the virus has mysteriously appeared among his/its people – the only possible explanation is that Allah did it. Must have been Inshullah.
Infidel says
As they say in islam, alhamdullillah, or praise be to allah!
Wilfred says
Is it Trumps fault that an Iranian goes and screws a pig in China and brings corona to their city. Trump has become powerful than Mo who cannot stop injustice. They are not losing hope for the judgement which will not come in this lifetime.
Tom says
Of course! You can’t tell the difference between what Americans in the Democratic Party are saying and what Iranian Islamofascists say.
roberta says
We all knew that if/when the virus spread its way to the islamic world that Pres. Trump would be to blame (or at least the USA). Maybe we didnt know exactly in which sh-thole it would pop up, but we knew who would take the blame.
Death to America blah blah blah
Carol the 1st says
From Qom the most fanatical travel all over the world daily (flying really helps the spread as does sending people through Italy) and it is Iran’s virus epicenter right now.
Can you imagine:
– numerous little hugs and busses between grown men?
– water sprinkling little rubdowns to butts before aligning them to Allah?
– pride in not wearing masks or gloves since the holiest accept the will of Allah with delight?
– a ‘spiritual’ leader who wears a smirk as he states that “yes, Iran has victims but the virus is spreading to countries all over the world”?
– a country stripped of its wealth as the mullahs have scooped it up for holy jihad?
Since the ones who profit know it’s too late and unlikely for them to be able to do much for themselves perhaps the head Kookmaini will endeavour to send little infected jihadis hither and yon? It may be something to keep an eye on as he’d love to show off revenge on Trump.

Another point of agreement between Democrats and radical Islamic terrorists.

Walter Sieruk says
That statement by the imam on Qom ,Iran that President Trump is to be blamed for the coronavirus pandemic is ,of course nonsense.
Actually when getting down to basic Quran theology which is the Quran based worldview the one who is really to blame and is responsible for the coronavirus plague is the god of Islam ,Allah. For according to the Quran Allah had sent cruel disaster of coronavirus on human beings .
This means then the god of Islam, as if he really does is a destructive and malicious god. For the Quran teaches in Surah 57:22. “No misfortune [disaster] can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree [Quran ] before [in eternity ] We [Allah] bring it into existence: that is easy for Allah.”
Therefore according the Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran the Islamic god, Allah, is guilty and thes ending and infecting people with coronavirus What a cruel vicious, malicious god Allah must be. So Allah is than a very unloving malice –filled god.
With this above information about the god of Islam is should be made clear that the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “ Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.
The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi

According to the AP, sA is closing mecca and the barracks named for the fake prophet, the raper of children, mass murderer, lying son of satan, to visitors over fears of the virus spreadng.
Infidel says
Also in the meantime, the Iranian vice president, deputy health minister as well as a member of parliament have caught the virus as well, and Iran, like Saudi Arabia, has begun to discourage people from going on pilgrimages.
Now, if only covid19 could encourage Muslims to stop trying to convert non Muslims to islam…
Carol the 1st says
Maybe Allah has decided to thin out the flock? Too bad so many of them have been multi-culti shipped unchecked all over the place (by those who’ve never apparently heard of plagues). Surely we won’t cut off their flights and ties back and forth to papaville? inshallah
SKA says
Two striking parallels between China and Iran that may account for greater lethality of COVID-19 in these settings:
1) terrible air pollution: excess smog, smoke and airborne dust exacerbate what is already a severe respiratory illness.
2) dread public hygiene. In both China and Iran apartment dwellers have squat toilets connected to shafts above cross-pits and these toilets which do no have a water trap allow passage of air between floors and apartment units allowing airborne viruses free access to all points within a multistory apartment building. Islamic superstitions also confuse soapless wudu (ritual ablution) with sound hygiene. Kissing or licking the derrihs (metallic cage enclosing tomb-shrine) as a form of religious bravado also hygiene issue.
Of course there is also the complicating issue of an “infallible” authoritarian regime in each nation that stymies effective medical responses.
Carol the 1st says
Some defiant ones have been licking the shrines “just to show us”. Iran has lately been giving tourists to the shrines some advice however such as ‘wash hands’ and ‘don’t gather in crowds’ etc. so these brave fellows are not being rewarded:
