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

Muslim cleric says spread of coronavirus is “act of Allah,” divine punishment against Chinese, then gets coronavirus

Mar 13, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It’s common for Islamic supremacists, and, to be sure, many others as well, to be confident that they know the mind of the deity, and lo and behold, the creator of all things thinks just the way they do. So last year, when I had heart failure and multiple organ failure, I received several emails from Muslims telling me that my condition was the judgment of Allah, and that if I repented I would be all right — as if pious and devout Muslims never get heart failure. Reality, as Hadi Al-Modarresi has just discovered, is more complicated than it may appear.

“Iraqi Islamic Scholar Hadi Al-Modarresi, Prior to Being Infected with Coronavirus: The Virus Is a Divine Punishment against the Chinese,” MEMRI, February 28, 2020:

Shi’ite Iraqi Islamic scholar Hadi Al-Modarresi, who is based in Qom, Iran, said in a video that was uploaded to the Internet on February 28, 2020 that the spread of coronavirus is undoubtedly an act of Allah that is divine punishment against the Chinese for their treatment, mockery, and disrespect towards Muslims and Islam. In early March, online sources reported that Al-Modarresi contracted coronavirus.

Hadi Al-Modarresi: “It is obvious that the spread of this virus is an act of Allah. How do we know this? The spread of the coronavirus began in China, an ancient and vast country, the population of which makes up one seventh of humanity. More than a billion people live in that country. The authorities in that country are tyrannical and they laid siege to more than a million Muslims and placed them under house arrest. The journalists in that country began to mock the niqab of Muslim women and they forced Muslim men to eat pork and drink wine. Allah sent a disease upon them and this disease laid siege to 40 million [Chinese people]. The same niqab that they mocked has been forced upon them, both men and women, by Allah, by means of the state authorities and officials.

[…]

“Islam forbade people from eating insects, but [the Chinese] mocked this matter. And there you have it, this disease spread from the world of animals – be it bats, ants, or snakes, the result is the same – to the human world and it has scared humanity in its entirety.”

    If Allah is on the side of Islam, pray tell, why do the Jewish State of Israel keeps kicking their asses.
    Remember, reality does not exist in the mind of a muslim.
    Everything is dictated by a book and the actions of a 6th Century, illiterate goat herder, presented to the people as the word of God.

    Maybe drinking some Zum-Zum water will ward of the virus. Lol

      Too bad Allah didn’t teach them to properly clean their butts. They use their left hands without toilet paper? They wonder why they are sick and crazy?

    And Allah knows best … Iran total cases 11,364; total deaths 514.

    Multiply by 5 for the actual numbers.

      Why just 5 times? These guys don’t know how to lie just a little bit.

        The Shi’ites are the greatest masters of taqiyya. The truth will come out.

        The KORAN VIRUS kills hundreds of millions more than the corona virus.

        Just remember…they’re all liars. He may even be planning to introduce foot binding into islam in order to better control the women.

    “No calamity befalleth save by allah’s leave”
    koran 64:11

    “it is obvious that the spread of this virus is an act of allah” says al modarresi talking his fraudulently pious shi’te.

    Yes.. it is “obvious” allah hates islam and muslim “holy” men…how else does he explain the calamity that fell on him?
    Or maybe..if he was a Sunni allah would have spared him?

    Clearly it is “obvious” allah is punishing him for not being a Sunni muslim.

    allah is sick and tired of all the shi’tes.

    He should listen to Muhammad and drink more camel urine — making sure that any flies which fall into his cup get completely submerged. Yeah, that’ll put him out of his misery in no time.

    Something good comes of Coronavirus! Let’s hope his condition isn’t trivial.

    Weird. In America, I thought that this was helped along by decades of thoughtless actions and bad policies enacted by the US legislature. Decades, but after three years, it is Trumps fault.

    When history is ignored and you believe the laws of nature no longer apply you set yourself up for, pandemics.

    Mar 13, 2020 at 6:33 pm

    That’s hilarious and wonderful news. So, by this Muslim idiot’s logic, Allah must hate him and must be enacting divine punishment on him for all his evil, nasty ways. I hope that is what he is thinking.

    • FYI says

      Mar 14, 2020 at 12:45 pm

      Yes.

      It must be because he is a Shi’te.
      And it must be because he is a shite.

      A shite Shi’te.
      And if there is one thing allah won’t stand for,it is a shite Shi’te.
      allah in fact is “obviously” a Sunni muslim and hates anything to do with the Shi’tes.

    • PRCS says

      Mar 14, 2020 at 12:59 pm

      Gotta wonder if he recognizes the irony.

      • tim gallagher says

        Mar 14, 2020 at 5:24 pm

        Thanks for the witty comments, FYI and PRCS. FYI, this clown is definitely a shite Shi’te. I always think, long may these Sunnis and Shiites keep killing one another as it surely helps weaken Islam. If they are killing one another, then they aren’t ( for a brief while, at least) killing us non-Muslims. Islam’s sick idea of what god is like, allah, seems to be a great hater, so I suspect he hates both Sunnis and Shiites. allah probably hates everyone. PRCS, about the irony, I’m sure this boofhead wouldn’t get irony. I do wonder what he is now thinking though, since the idiot apparently does think that you only get coronavirus if allah dislikes you. I do hope he now is convinced that allah does hate him and is tortured by the thought. People in glass houses and all that.

    I pray Scholar Hadi Al-Modarresi will recover and leave Islam and then deprogram Muslims out of this delusion.

    We must always remember that there is always an element of Truth in what people say.That is how Hitler got so much support and rose to power in the thirties.There is probably also some truth in what Al-Modarresi says as well about the food Chinese eat. By mixing Truth with lies Satan can successfully deceive many people. However, that does not mean to say that God is punishing people for doing the wrong thing because He is a God of love and mercy.More likely it is that by doing the wrong thing people bring disaster on themselves and if it is true that this virus started in the live animal market in China as has been claimed then they have brought it on themselves. However, as I have said before a loving merciful God has endowed humankind with the intelligence to draw good from this tragedy and there are still a lot of good people in the world that will strive to do just that.St Paul said that the Holy Spirit blows where it will and it certainly blew through the good Chinese doctor who tried to warn the Chinese government of the impending disaster and died from the disease himself.The Communist government in its arrogance didn’t listen to him until it was too late.

    You can bet anything you want, this Fascist, paedo Priest, will hot footing it to Israel or to the WEST, to get his bony ass into some top notch Medical Facility, to cure him! They ought to tell to F*ck off back to Iran & ask Allah/Mohammed to fix him!

    ”“It is obvious that the spread of this virus is an act of Allah.”
    ”online sources reported that Al-Modarresi contracted coronavirus”
    Good shot, Allah.
