Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ghana: Muslim org says repenting for homosexuality will “bring us Allah’s intervention in fighting the pandemic”

Mar 29, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Once again a Muslim organization offers Sharia as the cure for the world’s ills. This prescription might be more convincing were Sharia states not all human rights disaster areas.

“Muslim leaders of Ghana blame coronavirus on ‘transgender and lesbianism’. Again,” by Vic Parsons, Pink News, March 27, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Muslim Mission of Ghana has used national prayers during coronavirus lockdown to blame the pandemic on “transgender and lesbianism”.

People in Ghana undertook two days of fasting and praying this week, on Wednesday and Thursday, at the insistence of Ghana’s president and the chief imam.

While this was supposed to be a time to pray for “Allah’s intervention against the coronavirus”, Ghana’s Muslim Mission couldn’t resist the opportunity to blame LGBT+ people for the global health crisis.

Calling on Ghanaians to pray for those infected with the coronavirus, and for those in quarantine or isolation because of the disease, the Muslim Mission of Ghana – as one of the five messages it broadcast to the nation – said that “abominable” LGBT+ people are to blame.

“It is important for us to acknowledge our sins against the world,” the Muslim Mission said, “especially the most abominable acts such as homosexuality, lesbianism, transgender, destruction of water bodies and forests.”

Repenting for the “sin” of “homosexuality, lesbianism, transgender” will “bring us Allah’s mercies and intervention in fighting the pandemic in Ghana and the rest of the world”, the Islamic organisation added.

It was Ghana’s chief imam, Sheikh Dr Osamanu Sharubutu, who last week used his national address about coronavirus to call LGBT+ people “demonic”….

    There is much the world needs to repent for including the worship of false gods.

      If one replaces all references to Muhammad’s Allah with, “The Monolith”, it remains exactly the same as Allah, lifeless. Muhammad was very shrewd, inventing “Inshullah” (borrowing from the Greeks) – everything is the will of Allah(Zeus) to which you must bend or suffer sadistic torture in the next life.

      In effect, by offering instant entry to Jannah through martyrdom and booty if surviving, Muhammad created a stick-and-carrot incentive to make men, who had little chance for improvement in the conditions of their lives, die for him while accumulating the wealth of the unbelievers.

      Muhammad created the newest religion of conquest since the days of Sparta and its belief in polytheism with Zeus as the dominant god. It appears that Muhammad modeled his militaristic religion on the Spartan gods with a twist that reduced the gods to only one while also reducing the afterlife into only two main divisions, Jannah (Asphodel, a wonderful place for brave warriors) and Hell (Tartarus, a place of eternal punishment).

      It seems obvious that Muhammad borrowed from Judaism, Christianity, and Greek Mythology in synthesizing his new religion. All of these ideologies would have come to his attention from his interactions with other cultures while leading his wife’s caravans.

      The final twist that Muhammad (brilliantly?) added was, “All evils that fall upon Muslims are the fault of unbelievers.” Thus, every malady widens the animosity between believer and unbeliever.

      So, of course, the covid-19 is the fault of those unbelievers who raise the greatest ire in the breast of the believer.

      This is a very bad time for Islam, a backward militant religion in a world that it can never again dominate; its “reformers” attempting to claim peacefulness for the religion while saddled with a history and scriptural mandates of military barbarism. It’s trying to reform its image while draghing a ball and chain that cannot be removed.

    Whenever you wish you had smarter leaders, to the point you’re embarrassed for your own country, then stop whining and be glad you don’t live in Ghana.

      Agreed.

    Yep, there’s no doubt about it, this wise, Muslim holy man’s opinion definitely has the full backing of the worldwide scientific community. All the research, in all the labs around the world, backs up this extraordinarily wise man’s opinion.

    I imagine repenting for slaughtering non muslims and or anyone else, including the raping of non muslim women, won’t be on the table… in fact, I imagine suggesting that might be cause to get them to indulge in both activities even more.

    • gravenimage says

      Spot on, mgoldberg. And while this is just a mention of “repenting” for homosexuals, I wouldn’t be surprised if others were calling for attacks on suspected gays as good for fighting the disease.

    Muslims should repent far more than just their homosexuality.

    ………………….

    Uh huh. Nothing in the world that more and more Islam can’t fix–supposedly…

      A good, witty comment, gravenimage. I suppose, naturally enough, that seems to be the Muslim answer to everything. My take on things is that the world would be so much better without Islam dragging it back into the darkest of dark ages in all areas of human life.

        So true, Tim.

    The irony of this, of course, is that Ghanaian men lead the world in gay-for-pay activity, betrothing themselves instantly to any online male who appears to be in the west and with a roof over his head. It makes for great entertainment.

    We SHOULD be repenting for such things. But to Christ, not Allah.
