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

India: “You are asking us to close the house of Allah…What if we close his house and he closes our house?”

Apr 2, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Lethal piety.

“Viral video shows Maulvi refusing to close mosque in coronavirus lockdown, says ‘house of Allah’ can’t be closed,” OpIndia, March 30, 2020:

While a large number of Indians are complying with the government strictures of lockdown in the wake of coronavirus outbreak, there are many individuals who have disregarded the government order even as the cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in the country.

Recently, an unrelenting Maulvi was seen turning down the law enforcement officials’ request to disallow large gatherings in the mosque against the backdrop of rising coronavirus cases in the country. In a video that has now gone viral, a defiant Maulvi can be seen stubbornly refusing to the police entreaties of officially making an announcement through the mosque, requesting the people in the area to desist from visiting the mosque for namaz amidst extensive restrictions imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus.

As can be seen in the video, the police officials request the Maulvi of a mosque to discourage worshippers in the neighbourhood from congregating at the mosque and expose themselves to the risk of acquiring the highly contagious coronavirus. However, the Maulvi refuses to help, contending if police officials can roam around in groups of 15 to create awareness about coronavirus in public, then they should also allow 15-20 members to offer their namaz prayers in the mosque.

“We are asking people to abide by the rules to the extent we deem appropriate. My question to is why are you roaming in the groups of 15 if you are prohibiting others from forming groups? If coronavirus is not going to affect you, be rest assured, it won’t affect us as well,” the Maulvi responded when police officials asked him to announce through mosque requesting people to adhere to the lockdown restrictions.

He further adds, “You are asking us to close ‘House of Allah’ and worship him in our houses. What if we close his house and he closes our house?” Maulvi said while declining the police request of asking worshippers to abstain from visiting and crowding the mosque….

    As if this was not enough, Muslims who are quarantined against their wishes are spitting on doctors, yes spitting.

    They are walking nude in corridors and are demanding food not in the menu of hospitals.

    Some were even reported to make lewd gestures in the presence of female nurse staff.

    This is repulsive, it makes many vomit.

    Is this Islam ?

      Of course. Probably hoping to become “martyrs” and earn their 72 renewable virgins without firing a shot.

      Yes, Ajay–this is Islam.

    It is surprising that, with his brain, he has the power of speech.

    Its been a few year since I read the koran, but I am pretty sure that mo left these guys some outs if there was a good reason not to go to pray. Followed by the ”allah is the most forgiving” bs
    This is a good time to call on that option.

    If Im wrong about this, someone correct me.

      You are right, Roberta. I guess that spreading a deadly pandemic isn’t a good enough reason for these pious thugs to pray at home.

    Yep, close the house of allah(SATAN) and help the world. Add some explosives for good measure.

    So, allow them to go to the barracks to prey…just don’t allow them back out of the barracks to prey on every one else.
    House arrest for all who gather at satan’s house. After a month, any who survive might realize that gathering there was not such a good idea.

    When Spitting doesn’t work, throw stones at the health workers trying to save your lives.

      Just repulsive. Thanks for that link, Halaku.

    Muslims will have their own leaders to blame for the coming death toll among infected Muslims, but the Islamic leaders won’t accept responsibility for their own stupidity. They will scapegoat the kufaar.

    That’s what they always do.

      Rightly so, mortimer.

      Once one understands how muslims think, their behavior is very predictable…

    When the black plague hit Europe in the mid 1300s the churches remained open because “God would protect the righteous”.
    And now almost 700 years later Islam is taking the same approach. This just demonstrates how backward, superstitious and primitive their beliefs really are.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 3, 2020 at 7:54 pm

      Keith, no one knew anything about germs and viruses in the 14th century, and would not for hundreds of years.

      But even then, it was realized early in by those paying rational attention that quarantine slowed the spread of the plague; that carrying large amounts of goods from known infected areas was a bad idea, as was unnecessary travel; and that those who died from the disease should be buried quickly and locally, even if they died far from home, and in sealed caskets whenever possible, and without funerals conducted with the body present.

      It was also realized early on that devout Christian clerics–especially those attending the sick–died in large numbers, just as did their lay brothers.

      Of course, you also had insane movements like the Flagellants who probably helped to spread the disease from town to town, as well as–even worse–pogroms in some places against the Jews–despite the obvious fact that Jews were not immune and could scarcely have caused the contagion.

      But this is kind of deliberate ignorance is far more dispiriting today, when people–even Muslims–should know better. Still, with cases like deliberate rejection of polio vaccines and attitudes towards diseases like AIDS and MERS in the Muslim world, none of this much surprises.
