Iran: Islamic scholar says coronavirus is man-made weapon “against the Shi’ites, the Muslims, and the Iranians”

Mar 17, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Wait a minute. A few days ago it was Allah’s punishment on the Chinese.

“Iranian Scholar Hossein Momeni: COVID-19 Is Man-Made, A Weapon That Targets Shiites, Muslims, Iranians,” MEMRI, March 10, 2020:

Hossein Momeni, an Iranian scholar who lectures at religious seminars in Qom, said in a March 10, 2020 interview on Ofogh TV (Iran) that COVID-19 is without a doubt a man-made disease that has emerged as a weapon against the Shi’ites, the Muslims, and the Iranians. He expressed confidence that this disaster will morph into an opportunity for Iran much like many disasters have since the Islamic revolution.

Hossein Momeni: “This [coronavirus] disease is, without a doubt, man-made. Whether it was deliberate or not is another discussion, but this disease has definitely emerged as a weapon against the Shi’ites, against the Muslims, and against the Iranians. In a society that draws its faith from its [holy figures], the disease serves as [a weapon] by the enemy.

[…]

“Very soon, you shall see that this disease – this disaster, this threat – will morph into an opportunity. We have had many such opportunities over the past 40 years that had horrible beginnings.”

    islamic “scholars” always seem to have difficulty making their minds up: a lot like allah himself the Cognitively Dissonant god of islam.

    muslims will say “There are no contradictions in the koran”
    Well here is an egregious one:
    koran 4:85 allah permits intercession
    koran 74:48 muhammed prohibits intercession
    So which is it?
    muhammed disagrees with allah

    So,is intercession allowed in islam?who knows?It depends on what part of the koran you read and whether it is muhammed or “allah”.But remember that “there are no contradictions in the koran” say the islamic sholars.

    muslims say “There are no errors in the koran”
    Well here are a few: allah gets the Theology of the Christian Trinity spectacularly wrong{he thinks MARY is in it koran 5:116}and thinks christians are polytheists{Even atheists know Mary is not in the Trinity and Christians are not polytheists who worship 3 gods},the Jews believe in somebody called “Ezra is the son of allah” koran 9:30{no they don’t} and “We bestowed on Jesus the Gospel” koran 5:46{sure you did allah:Jesus had the Gospel didn’t He?Actually it came AFTER Jesus….}

    These errors are in English and in Arabic:in fact if the koran was written in Binary Code the errors would still exist.Don’t be fooled by that Arabic nonsense…

    So may errors exist in the “perfect” koran that when allah’s OWN criterion of koran 4:82 is applied,the koran shows,in its imperfections that it couldn’t possibly come from God but must come from “other than allah”:which indeed it does,as it was obviously written by Arabs plagiarizing the Bible.

    allah’s koran also MISSED the Golden Rule,teaches the opposite of the Exodus 20 laws{gives permission to violate them},manages to break both of the 2 chief commandments of God,misunderstands the essential role of the Jews,fails to notice the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit{allah doesn’t believe in it}..ALL of these things were revealed in the Bible ,ANY Bible and ANY Bible that existed at the time the koran was written down has all this information.

    The Bible{Torah and Gospel}:a book allah CONFIRMS AS TRUE k3:3 and which he tells muslims to consult koran 10:94 and yet allah contradicts or denies in the koran everything which is in the Bible{which remember,he says is TRUE koran 3:3}

    The koran:the “perfect” book….has no misttooks in it

        Mar 17, 2020 at 7:54 pm

        I have always believed that allah could do with a few more names:But he’ll never be the Alpha and Omega{The complete set that includes everything}.Sadly allah only got to 99{an incomplete set}

        allah the linguistically challenged god
        {a god who speaks only Arabic:too bad if you speak Hebrew or Aramaic etc.allah won’t understand you}

        allah the parochial Arab god
        {Who finds it hard to believe an Arab would know another language.
        “What!A FOREIGN tongue and an Arab?”koran 41:44}

        allah the obscure god
        {“Above it are nineteen”koran 74:30: nineteen WHAT allah?Do tell us}

        allah the Ironic god
        {“The koran is a conclusive word” koran 86:13.No it isn’t..}

        allah the UN-merciful god
        { allah does not actually permit final penitence koran 4:18 which means he is NOT a merciful god}

        allah the great Scientist god..who doesn’t understand Astronomy
        {the moon split in two koran 54:1,the sun sets in a muddy pool,the stars are missiles to ward off demons etc}

        allah the Leg-puller god{possibly channeling Loki the Viking prankster}
        {He tells muhammed to read the koran in k87:6:but muhammed can’t read koran 7:157}

        allah the anatomically challenged god
        { with his One shin and his TWO RIGHT HANDS….}

        allah the sock puppet of muhammed.

      FYI, let me cite another idiocy in the Koran, which appears several times. I don’t have it at hand at the moment, but cannot forget that the Perfect Book hilariously relates that Haman, the vizier of the Persian king Ahasuerus, husband of Esther, was an advisor to Pharoah and was present when Moses and Aaron wrought miracles in Pharoah’s presence and demanded the release of the Israelites from slavery. Muslims, of course, would argue that the Book of Esther is corrupted, its words changed by the Jews for their own nefarious reasons.

      • FYI says

        Mar 18, 2020 at 2:45 pm

        In the koran it is made clear that the right to be a prophet was given solely to the Children of Israel.

        “And verily WE gave the Children of Israel the scripture and the command and the PROPHETHOOD”
        koran 45:16

        ALL Biblical prophets{OT and NT} satisfy this criterion.The Children of Israel{=the Jews} knew the Law{the Torah}and so were ideally suited to being authentic prophets.

        Guess who isn’t from the children of Israel and thus doesn’t satisfy the koran’s own criterion of who had the right to the prophethood?

        muhammed

        There is also this nonsense of allah giving the Torah to Musa{who of course in islam isn’t Jewish but a muslim}koran 2:87.The problem is that the Torah is in HEBREW but allah insists he can ONLY write in Arabic koran 41:44.It is surely IMPOSSIBLE the Torah was written down in Arabic!No doubt muslims deal with this by saying “The Jews corrupted allah’s Arabic Torah by writing it in their language Hebrew”.

        Abraham too of course,in islam, is a muslim{“Abraham was not a Jew” koran 3:67}Yet in the Bible ,Abraham is listed as being an ancestor of Jesus {=JEWISH}in the Genealogy{Matthew 1}and in any case “It is from the Jews that salvation comes”{John 4 v22} which is why ALL Biblical prophets are JEWISH.
        Of course Abraham and Moses etc were Jewish as they were connected with the Jews:they HAD to be!

        Except in the koran where all Jewish prophets are muslims{“allah” doesn’t like the Jews and so cannot admit that the Biblical prophets were actually Jewish so muslims PRETEND that they were all muslims so you get muslims saying to me Jesus was a muslim.That Jesus is JEWISH is confirmed in John 4 v 22 a book allah confirms as being TRUE koran 3:3}

          Mar 18, 2020 at 10:20 pm

          But Muslims hold that this was only true when Jews were Muslims, and ended when Jews did not recognize Muhammed as a prophet.

          It doesn’t matter that their having been Muslim at one time makes no sense.

      • Kepha says

        Mar 19, 2020 at 10:36 am

        A number of the oddball ideas about the Bible that you find in the Qur’an and Hadith may come from the Midrash Rabbah, a collection of expansions on Biblical material that sprung up among Rabbinical Jews in the early centuries of the Christian era. For example, I recall my dear, beloved uncle swearing up and down to me that young Abram being cast into a fiery furnace by King Nimrod for breaking his father’s idols was “in the King James Bible”. The fact of the matter is, it’s from the Midrash Rabbah on Genesis. From the Christian side, my dear mother was certain that Matthew lists three magi at the nativity of Christ, and names them Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, when this matter is actually given in a medieval work entitled The Golden Legend.

        There are other bits of “lore” out there that both Christians and Jews have spun to expand on things in the Biblical text. However, at the same time, I would most emphatically point out that these tales have never found their way into copies of the Bible itself.

        But it is true that Islam has a problem with the centuries that lie between the Exodus and the Jews living under the Persian Empire.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 19, 2020 at 7:26 pm

          Kepha, you are right that some Jews and Christians have misconceptions about the Bible. For instance, I was sure as a child that the Gospel of St. Luke’s account of the Nativity included the names of the Magi. When I reread the account in my late teens I was surprised to find I had been mistaken.

          The difference, of course, is that Muslims are happy to slaughter Infidels for their own ignorance of other’s holy texts–like their making the spurious claim that Jews consider Ezra to be the Son of God.

    I wish these Islamic Scholars would make up their minds!

    Only the other day they were saying that the Coronavirus was punishment meted out on China
    by Allah, for the way it was treating the Uighurs.
    Now it is a manmade weapon targetting them.

    Well the good news, is that if a vaccine was to be produced by the US or Israel, the muslim leaders have declared that they will not use it.
    But it is alright, because these self same islamic leaders have declared anyone who dies of the Covid-19
    will be a martyr in the cause of Jihad and will go directly to heaven, that is a real comfort then.

    • DHazard says

      Mar 17, 2020 at 6:08 pm

      Possible future headlines:

      “Israeli scientists, in a stunning achievement, roll out the first Covid-19 vaccine.”

      “Muslims shun the ‘Jew Vaccine’ which keeps the pandemic going.”

      “Islamic Scholars give approval to the Covid-19 vaccine claiming there were no ‘Zionist’ Jews involved in it’s creation”

      or maybe

      “Islamic Scholars give approval to the Covid-19 vaccine claiming Muslims invented it.”

    Soooo typical!

    First, it’s ‘allah’s’ punishment on non muslims.
    Then, a muslim gets it, along with other muslims, and then suddenly it morphs into…
    a weapon made against muslims by non-muslims!
    So there it is, proof again that anytime anything happens to muslims, they are always the ever-eternal victim, but when it happens to non-muslims, it is some sort of just penalty!
    The double standards are mind boggling!

    The Lovin Spoonful singing comes to mind. “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind”?

    Jesus said, “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand (Mark 3:25).” Jesus was referring to satan’s house, to the devil’s house, which is clearly divided.

    What is also clear, these moslim “scholars” do not have a clue, but insist on mouthing off some declaration to show just how much they don’t understand in pretense of knowing everything.
    Not only should these creepy fools isolate themselves, quarantine alone, but be quiet while doing so. Just sit in the literal dark that will compliment the spiritual darkness that surrounds them, and try to actually think.

    Sherry duplessis : as a Canadian Christian guy myself originally from Iraq , I wanna say that Muslims have been sick with the conspiracy theory disease for the last 14 centuries that non Muslims especially Jews and Christians always want to conspire against them and wish them evil and harm ( Quran 3:120, 2:109 , 2:120 etc.. )

  16. A Gnostic Agnostic says

    Mar 18, 2020 at 6:31 am

    He is psychologically projecting, consider:
    i. Chinese re-education camps for Muslims
    ii. China declaring Islam as like a tumor/cancer
    iii. China gets virus (can not be conquered from within)
    iv. First it was Allah’s “curse” against the Chinese
    v. Then Muslims were called “martyrs” if they died to Corona
    vi. Now Muslims are projecting the crime onto West
    vii. Canada getting huge influx of migrants despite Trudeau’s “border shut-down”

    Is the House of Islam the very “Jews” they religiously accuse
    and blame their own crimes on? Is it actually themselves?

    What is a ‘scapegoat’? What did the Canaanites used to do? Sacrificial beings to wash away the sins of the tribe? How many dead bodies behind Clinton and ‘ol Bill? Who was Huma Abedin? Who are the so-called “pig” Jews? Who are the real Jews? Who are the real “pigs”?

    Us vs. Them
    viz.
    “Believer vs. Unbeliever”

    If it takes a “believer” to ever “believe” Satan is God,
    Satan only has potency on the side of the “believer”, as
    no “unbeliever” can ever possibly “believe” Satan is God.

    This is a war – the Islamic shahada is the Mark of the Beast:
    you have to take it on order to get “access” to the “club”.

    In Hossein Momeini, we meet the sort of fool against whom Solomon warned repeatedly in the Book of Proverbs .

    His claiming that COVID-19 was hatched by the JOOOOOOOOOOOZ (who else?) stinks of the same sort of mindset that we find in China’s trying to fob off the latest coronavirus as brought in by the US Army (as if there are US soldiers patrolling the streets of Wuhan–a scenario that no US administration from the Articles of Confederation on through Trump’s has EVER envisioned), or East German and Soviet disinformation campaigns that made HIV/AIDS into a US plot to kill off all nonwhite people.

    Who knows how COVID-19 got out, except that it seems to have come from Wuhan, in the CHinese province of Hubei? Was it a deliberate piece of germ warfare experimentation gone wrong? Impoverished lab workers selling diseased test animals to wet markets? Just something that mutated in a crowded environment in which humans, andimals, and animal blood was thrown together? This is something that has to be worked out by research.

    I don’t doubt that it’s one of many temporal judgments God sends to test and try us (although I come at it from Rev. 6 rather than the Qur’an), and pray it will drive many to know Jesus the Messiah in the times between his first and second advents. I also pray that God will give the researchers wisdom in dealing with it.

      One thing Ezra Levant touches upon lightly at 10:23 is Canada’s expulsion in OCTOBER 2019 of a female Chinese scientist Xiangguo Qiu (and apparently her husband and students) who had been going back and forth between the WINNIPEG LEVEL4 LAB and the WUHAN LEVEL4 LAB. There seems to be no RCMP closure on this investigation.

      Someone else who has this laboratory issue very much on his mind is Frank P. Vaughan and he discusses it in more detail in his FPV# 158. It seems Level 4 labs ONLY purpose is to explore BIOLOGICAL WARFARE.
