Iraq: Muslims gather in mosque, chant “coronavirus has terrified you” as cleric blames gay marriage for plague

Mar 30, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This must be it, right? The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.” (Qur’an 7:80-84)

Muhammad specifies the punishment for this in a hadith: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

“Iraqi Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr says gay marriage caused coronavirus,” by Yaghoub Fazeli, Al Arabiya, March 28, 2020:

Iraqi Shia political leader Muqtada al-Sadr blamed the legalization of same-sex marriage for causing the coronavirus pandemic.

“One of the most appalling things that have caused this epidemic is the legalization of same-sex marriage,” al-Sadr said in a post on his Twitter account on Saturday.

“Hence, I call on all governments to repeal this law immediately and without any hesitation,” he added.

Followers of al-Sadr were criticized after hundreds congregated inside a mosque and chanted “coronavirus has terrified you,” despite government measures imposed to stop the spread of the outbreak….

    New York mayor Bill de Blahsio announced today any churches caught defying the quarantine order may be shut down PERMANENTLY. Pretty sure he’ll make an exception for mosques.

    ………………

    In that case, why would the Coronavirus be affecting Muslims lands, none of which have gay marriage. Besides, I thought that the Coronavirus was punishment for women showing off their sexy ankles?

    And what does the cleric say about the marriage between… a middle aged man and a 9 year old child?

    Like his “prophet” muhammed and little Aisha.

      that’s OK, FYI; in fact, if U dare to say that it’s not, U have committed blasphemy, and the penalty for blasphemy is, of course … death!

      therefore, raping little girls is OK with the ummah. remember, in “The Reliance of the Traveler” (sections A1.2 throught A1.4), among other books from the ulema, it is pointed out that reason alone cannot determine what is good and bad; that knowledge only comes from allah and his messengers. translation: whatever the messenger of allah wanted became good, and whatever he didn’t want became bad. thus, muhammed’s psychosis determined good and bad, not reason, and *definitely* not “good.”

        The thing about “Blasphemy” is that the only way you could actually formally prove it …….is to bring God or allah to the Witness stand.

        Just because ‘holy’ men say something is “blasphemy” doesn’t make it so.And this is the 21st century for Pete’s sake.

        “Holy” men{.. in ALL religions..} love to make up things and love the sense of authority it gives them;I am not a fan of religious authorities myself as I think they are phoneys and from reading Matthew chpt 23{an entire chapter of the Gospel where Jesus condemns ‘holy’ men:in some ways the ‘holy’ men of today are worse than at that time}

        I call to the Witness stand….allah..

        Judge:so,allah,where you offended by that cartoon of muhammed?
        The muslims say the cartoonist must die,islam has been insulted and it is blasphemy.
        allah:Offended?”blasphemy”?To me or muhammed?Who is more important?In my religion muhammed is placed above me!
        And who do you think drew that cartoon?I did..hey,did you see the stink limes..I love stink lines in cartoons…

    Any Quranic exegetes out there? I would like an explanation of Quran 7:80-84, “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.”

    Who is “We”? Allah? How do you know? This passage says that before Lot, sodomy did not exist, not only on Earth but on any other of “the worlds” (let’s have a list of these worlds, please).

    Muqtada al-Sadr was the guy who ran off to the Qom seminaries during the Iraq war. Apparently, he didn’t learn any logic while becoming an “advanced” cleric. Somehow, Allah gets his wires crossed and gives Muslims the coronavirus and kills Muslims because some unbelieving nations allow gay marriage?

    You can’t make up this distorted logic – It’s always about Islam and it’s always the fault of some unbelievers.

    Looks like a self-hating madrassa cornholer himself.

    The cleric’s have the opportunity to gather their followers into mosques to greet each other and prove how superior the muslim race is. I think their logic is totally faulty, and that the Islamic “religion” is following a false teaching from Muhammad.
