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

India: Hindu celebrations called off; many Muslims flout health advisories and continue large gatherings

Mar 22, 2020 12:00 pm By Radhika Singh

In a welcome move by the Uttar Pradesh state government in India, as a precautionary measure to combat Covid-19, the yearly carnival of the Hindu Ram Navami celebrations are being called off this year.

However, the government’s struggle with its second largest religious group seems to have no end. Many Muslims in India are not following any of the medical advisories that have been rolled out to save the world’s second largest population of Muslims, which calls India its home.

We have already reported how the CAA implemented by the Indian government has no bearing on Indian Muslims and is only a channel to provide persecuted minorities in neighboring Islamic countries swiftly with Indian citizenship. Muslims have gathered all over the South Asian country and are demonstrating against the law.

In view of the pandemic, theaters, shopping malls, educational institutions across India have been shut down, exams have been postponed, and organizations have facilitated work from home. But despite repeated government requests to discontinue the planned demonstrations and avoid large gatherings, the Muslims pay no heed. Early last week, the main organizer of the anti-CAA demonstrations, Tabreez Khan, tested positive for Covid-19. One can only speculate on how many Muslim protestors he may have encountered while helming the demonstration, to whom he may have passed on the virus.

Flouting all warnings, as the Muslims continue to cluster up in huge numbers, an aged burkha-clad woman who was participating in the demonstration rubbished the global threat. She claimed that there was no coronavirus as such. Corona, as per her, has come out of their Quran. Referring to the government bulletins, she said, “Maybe they (the government) fear corona, but it can’t do us any harm. More dangerous calamities will hit the world, but we will remain unscathed. Let them be scared. Our God will protect us.”

Another “protestor” can be heard asking, “Is it necessary that we will get coronavirus if we come to protests? It can happen in our homes, also. Are we not stepping out of homes? We are going out of houses, children are going to school, taking metro, going to market. Ten people sitting in Parliament and talking. Won’t they get infected?” She further finds a conspiracy theory in the deadly pandemic and suggests that the coronavirus is an invention of the Indian Home Minister Amit Shah or the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, designed to prevent the Muslims from protesting.

The blatant refusal to adhere to the central government’s strict notices finds encouragement in the hate-infused speeches of jihadist speakers who sound off at such Islamic protests. They regale huge masses of people with words such as, “They pray to Lakshmi (Hindu deity), they are afraid of coronavirus. We do not pray to Lakshmi, so we are not afraid.” They also assert that their Allah will protect them.

Such mass demonstrations are not limited to India’s heart, the city of Delhi, but have mushroomed in major hubs such as Kolkata and Chennai as well. It will not be an exaggeration if we conclude that the jihadists, fully cognizant of the dangers of large congregations, have now decided to use the coronavirus as a bioweapon, employing crowds to precipitate the spread of the deadly virus.

The Indian government left no stone unturned to assure the safety of all Indian citizens, including the Muslims, but the ingratitude exhibited by many of them, coupled with the disobedience, is revolting. After airlifting Muslim pilgrims from the contagion-infested Middle-East, the government set up preventive screening of all passengers arriving from overseas. What they get in return from many of the Muslims is vehemence, vandalism and more.

A group of 160 students arrived at the Srinagar airport from Bangladesh last Thursday. The stringent medical process installed at all airports required them to undergo a few tests and maintain social distancing. Shockingly, not only did these educated students refuse to cooperate with airport authorities and defied the quarantine process, following abrasive civil disobedience, they started a commotion and immediately took to violence against the airport authorities and medical staff. Srinagar airport was vandalized; glass window panes and other items in the arrival area were shattered. Parents of these students were sympathetic to the ideological warfare that the students had subscribed to and started a chaotic protest outside the airport.

Airport authorities reported the violence to local police, but the students didn’t concede. It was only with great force that the police could take these vandals into isolation, as prescribed by the government and health advisory.

While Hindu mandirs and Christian churches have gone on a pause, Muslims continue to assemble in increasing numbers to offer namaz in Delhi, Noida, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, thumbing their noses at the imposed Section 144, that constitutionally forbids citizens to gather in large numbers. Residents of Muslim societies in Pune of Maharashtra state blocked a Covid-19 survey, thwarting all the efforts to combat Covid-19. After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a mass curfew on Sunday, March 22, requesting citizens to stay indoors, the All-India Sufi Ulema Council asked Muslims to gather in mosques to perform repentance and seek forgiveness. The Council president, Hakim Sufi Syed Mohammad Khairuddin Quadri, appealed to his followers to attend special congregations managed by mosque committees, “instead of spending time engaging in absurd activities at home”.

In recent years, the western world, because of propaganda from liberal media outlets, have come to think of India as a country hostile towards its minority. However, only one who lives in this country would know that the Muslims are no hapless minority.  They are the privileged second-largest religious group, with an advantageous “victim card”. The government has been spread very thin dealing with this group, which derives guidance from their fundamentalist maulvis and imams. To counter the resistance faced by a mass of hardliners, while keeping the majority safe, and to dodge international criticism for being anti-minority, only the Indian government knows what it has to put up with every day. Or perhaps the Israelis would know also.

      Watch. When these masses of Muslims fall ill it will be Infidels who come to help them.

          It will be us Infidels who will find some type of medicine that will, if not cure this, at least lessen the effects of the virus and, yes, we will share it with all the Muslims of the world. I am absolutely certain of that. We just need time. So, if people would just help with delaying the spread of the virus as much as possible, that simple act would be a huge benefit to all of humanity. The strongest — and the smartest — will survive.

          I think that I misinterpreted your definition of “help”.

          I agree that infidels will help with medications when they become available.

          Anything above and beyond that, e.g. transport for hospital admissions / extensive stays in the ICU, not so much.

          Well, in countries where there are few non-Muslims, no, Muslims won’t get much help. However, I have faith that in places where there are still plenty of Christians left, the Muslims will be helped by the Christians. It’s part of being a Christian.

          Look up information about some of the plagues that struck Rome in the early days of Christianity … the Antonine Plague (165-180 AD) and the Cyprian Plague (249-262 AD). You will find that both times when most other people were leaving Rome the Christians stayed and took care of the sick. Certainly I can’t say that all Christians did but a great many did. The pagan Romans were impressed by the bravery and kindness of the Christians and this actually helped Christianity spread.

          I hope most Christians today are still like those early Christians. Of course, the Muslims may react differently than the pagan Romans did. But then too, by 303 AD Emperor Diocletion was persecuting Christians again. Such is this world.

          We’ll have to make it through all of this to see what results. Hang in there.

          Thanks for the feedback and historical background.

          Food for thought…

          Best wishes.

    For them it’s a win-win. Killing all those infidels with your virus.

    Are we really expected to believe that God is so stupid that He would establish this ontology, where the most logical move is to kill the whole world including the infected faithful so you all can escape into Paradise filled with sensory pleasures. DUH. What a bunch of inbred jerk-off idiots.

    I don’t think Muhammad himself was stupid, but he went out of his way to ensure that his followers were fully dumbed down by the time he started calling on them to murder on his behalf. Since Islam was set up to quash independent thought and action it automatically compromised intelligent thought and action leading to the collapse of science in Islam. The blip called the “Golden Age of Islam” was just an aberration for which Muslims are strangely proud, despite all the apostasy that was integral to it’s existence.

    The more inbred Muzzies that perish from the corona virus the happier I will be. Mother earth seems to be cleansing herself of this cancer called Islam.

    “[…] More dangerous calamities will hit the world, but we will remain unscathed. Let them be scared. Our God will protect us.”

    What about the guy who was not protected from the poison cooked into his food by his little old lady slave cook whose husband his gang had just murdered?

    Their delusions of grandeur are capable of manifesting all wonder of foolishness. Fortunately that will be their destruction very soon. They are not up against jungle desert spear chuckers any more. They can’t even imagine! The whole world is watching.

    And then the masses, the hordes, of these outlaws began to succumb, to drop like flies unable to breathe, or can’t stop going to their toilets…they will blame the infidels.

    satan has no healing power. The demon known as satan the devil, has the power to cause illness and death, but he has no power to prevent sickness, no power to prevent death, no power to protect those who worship and serve him. In fact, if he did have such power to protect, he would not use it, as his purpose is to destroy mankind…including those who serve him (they are already just about there, as they are dead spiritually).

    So, when these fools for satan began to sicken, are unable to breathe, unable to rise from their bent positions, they will have only themselves to blame…but they will point all of their filthy fingers at those who tried to warn them and to help them, to affect their risky and lawless behavior.

    And yes, Israel most likely knows exactly how India feels.

    Most Indian Muslims live in overcrowded slums and ‘social distancing’ is generally meaningless for them.
    Now most of India has gone into lockdown and there are no large crowds anywhere and no Muslim crowds will contaminate non-Muslims in this scenario.
    Most Indian Muslims are as terrified of the virus as anyone else in the world.
    Most Indian Muslims don’t pay much heed to what their maulvis, mullahs and imams say.
