Maulana Abbas Siddiqui said: “May Allah send such a terrible virus to India that ten to twenty to fifty crore people die in India. Am I saying something wrong? It is absolutely blissful.”
One crore is ten million.
There are many people in the U.S. and all over the world who believe that the most pressing problem lies not with this Muslim cleric for saying this, but with those who dare to report on what he said.

“’May Allah send a virus that kills 50 crores Indians’: Bengal Maulvi roared from the stage, video goes viral,” OpIndia, April 3, 2020:
While the entire world is busy combatting the rapidly expanding coronavirus pandemic, there are some people who are still not ready to get out of their religious sentiments even during such vulnerable times when the country is in a dire need to be united against the COVID-19. With dozens of videos on TikTok featuring Muslims claiming that Coronavirus can’t do any harm to them as they regularly pray to their God, a video of a Muslim cleric is circulating on social media, in which a Bengali Maulvi is demanding a virus from Allah that kills 50 crore people in India in one go.
In this video, the maulana is saying in Bengali, referring to riots in Delhi- “recently I have got the news that mosques are being set on fire, mosques are being burnt for the last two days. I think something is going to happen within a month. May Allah accept our prayers. May Allah send such a terrible virus to India that ten to twenty to fifty crore people die in India. Am I saying something wrong? It is absolutely blissful.” After that, the crowd present there applauds the Naulvi’s statement.
He also said that he does not mind whether he will die or survive but he will surely take Hindus with him. The cleric has been identified as Abbas Siddiqui, and reportedly the video is from 26th February. Which means he made the comments when the Coronavirus had already hit India and govt had already started taking steps to combat it.
This is the same cleric who had earlier threatened to block Kolkata airport if the Citizenship Amendment Act is not revoked in West Bengal.
The video came at a time when an FIR has been lodged against seven Tablighis including Maulana Saad of Tablighi Jamaat in Nizamuddin in Delhi. Recently, after the Islamic religious event of Tablighi Jamaat Markaz that was held in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area, many Muslims from various parts of the country were involved in the event that created a stir across the country.
Meanwhile, a video of Tablighi Jamaat Chief Mohammad Saad had also come to notice in which he was saying, “The tricks and schemes of those who do not believe in Allah have come to stop Muslims from making excuses to save them from the disease. He has got an idea to stop and disperse the Muslims so that this can sit forever in the mind that do not go near anyone, do not sit with anyone or else they’ll get the sickness. Today, if the illness of Muslims changes due to this disease, then the disease will end but we will lose respect.”
Saad has added further in the video, “The disease will change but the values of your masseur, sitting together, eating in a plate and its effects never add in view of issues. This is a program designed to create suspicion among Muslims and to end their love, a program has been made that this excuse is good from separating Muslims from Muslims.”
The Tablighi Jamaat’s emir Maulana Saad works in about 190 countries around the world. It has thousands of members. The Markaz has caused severe damage to the country during the health crisis in the country due to coronavirus.
In an audio Saad was heard saying, “Where will you run away from death, death is going away with you. Therefore, on this occasion keep your wisdom and understanding. Do not just leave the prayers in the doctor’s wards, leave meetings. Why don’t you believe in 70 thousand angles? When Allah-tallah set the disease, how can I survive with any doctor or medicine? What will I do when 70 thousand angles could not save me?”
Saad was found spreading the rumour among the people of muslim community not to believe that if they meet in the mosque, the disease will spread. He sai that if the muslims will be present in the mosques, Allah tala will present the angles in this time….
Mural says
The regular Hindu, a Christian, a sikh, a buddhist, a jain, a jew , a taoist or shintoist or an atheist will never hold such hatred and harbour such thoughts. But this is commonplace in Islam. Especially among the clergy
mortimer says
Al Walaa wal Baraa is an authentic Islamic teaching of apartheid and hatred directed by Muslims against disbelievers.
The mullah’s remarks are pure Al Walaa wal Baraa.
500 million dead would be half the population of India. 200 million Indians citizens are Muslims, so half of them would die too.
PaulH says
The West will win the war against the Islamists with the aid of Jared Diamond’s trinity of Guns, Germs and Steel. We’ve held them at bay with the guns and steel; now COVID-19 (the germs) will apply the ‘coup de grace’.

Guess they’ll be as licked as those Mosque walls.

Paul, your implication that the West either created or is using the Coronavirus is mistaken.
And those in the New World were more vulnerable to Old World illnesses at first contact than were Europeans, who had build up at least a certain amount of group immunity to diseases such as smallpox.
The same is hardly true of Muslims vs non-Muslims now with COVID-19. Except for the fact that so many Muslims are resisting wise precautions like social distancing, there is no reason to suppose that this disease is going to hit Muslims harder than it will Infidels.

There. I finally found people I hate more than the Islamists. For me the backstabbing/undermining traitor is always worse no matter how evil the enemy facing us is.
Islamism and socialism continue to be much bigger threats to the West than any virus. This virus scare is a dream come true for Leftism and their power/money grabs over the people.
And Islamists appear to be applauding it too, anything that hurts us infidels.

Phil Copson says
“Opindia” need to check-out the difference between “angles” and “angels”……
Mural says
After reading this entire article, was this your key takeaway?
Mohan Ramaswamy says
What a jerk you are? People like you, like the Islamic hordes, are a waste of this planet’s space.
gravenimage says
Mohan, Phil Copson is a staunch Anti-Jihadist with a fine posting history here. Calling him a waste of space and comparing him to Jihadists is *completely* uncalled for.
That being said, I do agree with Mural that a common typo (OK, two) is probably not a particularly important aspect of an otherwise salient article.
mortimer says
Maulana Abbas Siddiqui has the title of an Islamic scholar who understands Islam PERFECTLY. He preaches contempt and HATRED directed towards non-Muslims. This is entirely Islamic, based on the teaching of Islamic apartheid called AL WALAA WAL BARAA.
Western people will NEVER understand Islam until they master the teaching of AL WALAA WAL BARAA (comradeship with Muslims versus ‘cleansing’ from the filth and physical presence of the non-Muslims).
Hatred and hostility directed by Muslims against the KUFAAR (non-Muslims) is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
Maulana Abbas Siddiqui is teaching CORRECT and AUTHENTIC Islam.
Raja says
Thanks Mortimer, for reminding us about the filth of Islam, which is an ideology.
mortimer says
Islam’s teaching of hatred (AL WALAA WAL BARAA) is everything that the fake ‘Islamophobia’ is supposed to be, since W-B is the MIRROR IMAGE of ‘Islamophobia’ and ‘Islamophobia’ is the PROJECTION upon innocent kafirs for what Muslims are doing themselves … namely, hating the ‘other’ on account of religious bigotry.
A Gnostic Agnostic says
Correct: ‘the accuser is the accused’ is the Mark of Cain. Islam is Canaanite.
Wellington says
Uh-huh. Well dying and Islam have a lot in common.
Respecting other religions, living seems to be the preferred option.
Telling. Damning. Instructive.
gravenimage says
Yes–most people around the world who are praying are praying for the end of the virus, or for a vaccine or a cure. Not a whole lot of that with Islam.
Muslims really do love death, as they are so find of telling us.
Wellington says
Rod: The USA was in South Vietnam to prevent it from being taken over by a tyranny that had no regard for human life. Yes, too bad the South Vietnamese government was corrupt and not a full democracy but we live in a real world and the Vietnam War must be seen as a battle in a much larger war, the Cold War, which America won and the USSR lost.
Moreover, very few civilian deaths were caused by the Americans, the estimate is in the 5,000-6,000 range and most of these were due to civilians caught in cross-fires between American forces and either the Viet Cong or the NVA. The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong are responsible for many hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths if not more than a million. The South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) was certainly responsible for a large numbers of civilian deaths as well.
And remember, the real killing began only once America left Vietnam in 1975, Pol Pot and his thugs for instance in Cambodia and the North Vietnamese government which was brutal and which led to the “Boat People” exodus en masse.
America was in South Vietnam because of non-free societies and with the intention of establishing freedom. Truly free countries don’t go to war against one another. In every major conflict over the past 100 years anywhere in the world at least one of the two sides was a fighting force representing an authoritarian regime. Want to end war? Well, then spread democracy. It’s the best shot mankind has in this respect.
I would close here by stating that perhaps the Vietnam War should not have been fought at all. Indochina simply is not all that important in the overall geopolitical scheme of things but at least if we were going to fight there we should have fought to win, which we did not. The politicians lost the Vietnam War, not the US military. And remember that many people across the world are free PRECISELY because of America, the South Koreans are one example, the Japanese are another due to the enlightened administration of that country by General Douglas MacArthur. Western Europe remained free after WWII because of the American military umbrella. America has many faults but it has tried to do the right thing time and time again and I have no doubt that, as the Canadian, Mark Steyn, has said, a world without America would be a world that would be subject to the tyrants of the earth. Just consider the last century of mankind with one difference—no American military. Think the world would be better off now? Not on your life.

It looks as though the always Islamophilic “Rod” is particularly desperate here–citing a war that ended 45 years ago.
Then, his implication that opposing Communism is the same motive as “loving death” is utterly grotesque. We were also there at the request of the South Vietnam government–corrupt and far from perfect, as Wellington notes, but still far better than their Communist enemy.
And most civilian deaths were caused by the Communists, *not* the Americans or their allies. The US never had a policy that targeted civilians. As Wellington also notes, our pulling out *hardly* marked an end to death in the region–the Communist “Killing Fields” began in earnest after we were out of the way.
Also, “Rod’s” implication that the Vietnam War has never been debated in the United States could not be more laughable. In fact, there are few topics more commonly–or more heatedly–discussed.
All of this is just more sand throwing–a ham-fisted attempt to distract from the Jihad that threatens us *today*. And his implication that Maulana Abbas Siddiqui is the only Muslim–or only Muslim cleric–who wishes us dead is grotesque, as he well knows.
Wellington says
You know, just as I never read a defense of Islam that makes me think I have been too harsh on it, so is it the case that I never read a criticism of America like that of Rod’s which makes me think such a person has a point. “Pointless” would be a more accurate term
Mural says
Exactly. Hence there can be no inter-faith dialogue between this religion and others. Other religions want to live here and now, whereas this religion lives for the hereafter.
Raja says
Their holy book has errors and most everyone lies for this so called religion. It pretends to guide for the life hereafter but pits man against man and everyone against itself. It is at a state of war all the time with everyone (not just Israel vs Palestinians.)
The Left and Islam wants man to lose his identity, nationality and wants everyone dead. They are just antiChrist.

Sarc-off-a-ghus? The best thing that could happen would be a war to the death between Sunni and Shia. Would they go to Paradise for killing heretics? No, because they would be killing a fellow muslim. Forbiddden in the Koran, I believe.

Oh, killing Muslims who are deemed not to be real Muslims is perfectly Halal.

Well, this is *just bizarre*. I *have* disagreed with L Mayor. Why would “Rod” pretend that I agree with him?
As for this being “a contemptible hotbed of hatred” and a “cesspit of racism” (what race is Islam, again?), that is a single post among more than 40 comments here–and by a poster I have never seen here before.
Moreover, Jihad Watch has never said such a thing–can “Rod” show that it ever has? Of course he can’t–but that will not stop his lying about it.
Jayell says
There’s something seriously wrong with these people’s intellectual faculties. I’ve read most of this through two or three times and I can’t make sense of it. For example:-
1. “The tricks and schemes of those who do not believe in Allah have come to stop Muslims from making excuses to save them from the disease”…..
Doesn’t make any sense! Who is saving who from this disease? What are these ‘excuses’ and what is the point of having ‘excuses’ in any case? What is being excused,,by whom, and why?.
2. “He has got an idea to stop and disperse the Muslims so that this can sit forever in the mind that do not go near anyone, do not sit with anyone or else they’ll get the sickness.”
Well, whoever this ‘he’ is, he’s just describing the well-known procedures necessary to halt the spread
micro-organisms that cause disease,. We’ve known about the benefits of ‘social spacing’ since the Middle Ages at least, when infected persons would walk around ringing bells and shouting out ‘Unclean, Unclean’, or hasn’t Maulana Abbas Siddiqui ever heard about that sort of thing?. What did they do in Maulana Abbas Siddiqui’s part of the world when dangerous infectious diseases threatened to run riot? Did they do anything? Maybe they hadn’t got the intelligence to invent warning bells, after all they never got round to the idea of installing that sort of thing in their ‘places of worship’ but just persisted with the idea of having some superannuated old fool yelling his head off from the top of a tower when it was Indoctrination Time. And does the idiotic ‘hero’ of this farcical story really believe that the rest of the world is as maliciously paranoid as he clearly is in presuming that taking logical precautionary measures to avoid infection is motivated by the same sort of partisan malevolence characterised by his so-called ‘religion’? Or does he really believe these sorts of measures are redundant because he and his fellow-muslims are a universal special ‘protected species’, despite all the evidence to the contrary?
3. “OrToday, if the illness of Muslims changes due to this disease, then the disease will end but we will lose respect”
How is this disease supposed to ‘change’ on contact with muslims’? There’s been no scientific report of this sort of thing. And what has ‘respect’ got to do with any of it? ‘Respect’ from whom, towards whom, and on what basis? Since when did the acquisition or non-acquisition of any disease have anything to do with ‘respect’?
Are we to believe that a significant proportion of humanity is seriously being influenced by
this sort of ignorant, brain-dead, near-lunatic garbage?
David says
Jayell, I thought it was just me not being able to understand this. Phew! The thing is, they don’t care if they catch it and die, provided that they can kill infidels.
Yes we are to believe it. It is true.
It will be interesting to see the result of their ‘experiment’. See whose side Allah is on.
marty lopez says
Phucking losers have nothing to live for. that’s always been the problem
John Fuller says
Islam continues its status as a retrograde religion, out of place in modernity. The barbarity of Islamic belief and practice marks it as backward in the extreme. See more here: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

Retrograde religion for a retro grade, throw back peoples

Muslims employing the weapon of Quran-a-virus might find it back-fires. Well either way they will get to Paradise sooner.
OLD GUY says
Just look at this cleric, he look like an insane person as do many of the imam and clerics I’ve seen. They all have this wild look on their faces and spout crazy ideas. Who in their right mind would follow these people and take the actions they propose?
Muhammad has brought the world a religion with a following of people with a lust for violence and pain. Jesus on the other hand brought a religion of peace and love for your fellow man, a BIG difference in doctrine.
marty lopez says
Ahh, Islam the religion of peace, no wait, submission, or jihad, no four wives, or was it female mutilation.
Never mind. We can agree on violence, pain, conquest and tribute? And remember this always. When the prophet brought the people this religion, it was readily adopted as an improvement. Now that should tell you something.
