Jihad Watch

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

Muslim researcher: Coronavirus produced in US labs as part of “biological war” against “the Islamic nations”

Apr 2, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Ginning up more hatred for the Great Satan with paranoid fantasies. This sort of talk is the basis and justification for jihad activity.

“Iraqi Researcher Jomaa Al-Atwani: COVID-19 Pandemic Is American Biological Warfare against the Arab, Islamic World; America Was Founded Thanks to Such Wars,” MEMRI, March 12, 2020:

Iraqi researcher Jomaa Al-Atwani said in a March 12, 2020 interview on Al-Nujaba TV (Iraq) that America is waging a biological war against the Arab and Islamic world by means of the COVID-19 pandemic and that there is little difference between this biological war and America’s other attempts to cause sectarian, racial, or ethnic violence in the Middle East. The interviewer then quotes a Russian researcher who said that America was founded thanks to biological warfare, giving the example of the distribution of blankets infected with smallpox to Native Americans.

Jomaa Al-Atwani: “Trump and other American officials ridicule anyone who says that this virus was produced in the American biological labs, as part of a biological war. The problem is that everyone believes in germ warfare, including America, which talks about this kind of war being the next war, but, at the same time, are not ready to accept [that this is] such a war. You are now waging a war against the whole world. You are waging a war against all the Islamic nations. The siege kills thousands of Yemeni people. Your missiles kill thousands of Yemenis at the order of Saudi Arabia. How is this any different from a biological war? Ultimately, it should not come as a surprise that we claim America is waging a biological war against the peoples of the region. Ultimately, the means are many but the goal is one: Killing the people, keeping them in a state of extreme poverty, and instigating war among the countries of the region on a sectarian, racial, and ethnic basis. If America fails to do so with this war, it will surely find other ways to kill and massacre the Arab and Islamic peoples. For us, there is no difference between a direct or proxy military war by America, and the biological war that the people of the region are now suffering.”

Interviewer: “America’s history is not devoid of such wars. As Russian researcher Nikolai Starikov noted, America was founded thanks to such wars. It handed out blankets with smallpox to the Indians. So America was founded on this.”

    Pretty crafty for the Americans to go through China to get to the Muslims. The man is speaking nonsense. Where is his proof? The Chinese can not find proof that the virus is man made and the Americans can find no proof that the Chinese manufactured it. I believe it just naturally occurred.

      Exactly, CogitoErgoSum.

      How is this irrational idiot any kind of “researcher”?

        “Iraqi researcher ” an oxymoron by the Religion of Professional Victims.

    Perhaps someone could collect all the various explanations put forward by muslim speakers.
    It would make an entertaining list.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 2, 2020 at 10:14 pm

      Yes, indeed, Michael–Coronavirus was created by the Chinese, Americans, or Israelis to harm Muslims; it was created by Allah to punish the Chinese, Hindu Indians. and/or Westerners; or it doesn’t exist at all, and was made up by Infidels to either prevent Muslims from praying or in order to take over Mecca and Medina.

      And those are just the ones I’ve heard of…

    This so called Muslim Researcher is coming up with his own conspiracy theories to stir up more Muslim hatred against the United States and likely stir up Jihad activity with the United States. This virus is universally infecting people everywhere thru out the whole world. The best explanation is that this is a virus that made the jump between bats and humans thru a Chinese Wet Market. We need to stick with what is true and the real facts and not conspiracy theories.

    • James Lincoln says

      Apr 2, 2020 at 8:10 pm

      True enough, David.

      But muslims are not known for using factual, evidence-based logic…

  4. tim gallagher says

    Apr 2, 2020 at 5:23 pm

    As other commenters have said, where’s the evidence? Anyone can come up with some wild, paranoid theory. Muslims hate the West and Jews so their wild, insane theories will generally involve those people. I hate Martians so I believe a sneaky Martian came down to earth and planted this virus in some poor Chinese person (or maybe in a Chinese bat) and it has rolled on from there. My idiotic theory has as much evidence going for it as this Muslim wanker’s paranoid idiocy has. The minds of some of these Muslims must be so twisted and diseased. They truly inhabit another, very nasty and dangerous, universe. I wonder how many other Muslims believe their paranoid rubbish. Unfortunately, probably huge numbers buy into this insanity.

    • James Lincoln says

      Apr 2, 2020 at 8:16 pm

      Tim,

      Combine the following regarding muslims – in general:

      Low IQ.

      Brainwashing by imams using evil islamic texts.

      Hairtrigger temper.

      Total lack of conscience with no “Golden Rule”.

      The end result is rather predictable…

    • Ashley says

      Why do you hate Martians?

      • gravenimage says

    • tim gallagher says

      Apr 3, 2020 at 12:24 am

      I think your list is spot on, James. I think the lack of the golden rule, such as Christianity gives its followers is a huge factor. Islam encourages it followers to go out and be violent, whereas Christianity (Buddhism as well seems to stress being tolerant) teaches people to at least try to be forgiving and not be after revenge at the drop of a hat. The hair trigger violence probably stems from the lack of a golden rule and the way that Islam encourages violent revenge. The low IQ is definitely a factor in it all. I think of those raving loony demos in Pakistan and other places. Islam produces people who are permanently outraged. Why do I hate those evil critters, the Martians, Ashley? Because they abducted me and did terrible experiments on me. They are horrible creatures. Hang on, I’ve just got to put my tin foil hat back on to stop those Martians talking to me all the time. I’m reminded of that episode of “Frasier” where he is supporting a politician who is running for some office because he thinks the man is a very reasonable candidate and then the politician pulls Frasier aside and tells him he was once abducted by aliens. Frasier is somewhat rattled. No, I just thought Martians make as much sense, with as much evidence, as these loony theories going around about the coronavirus. Substitute anything you like for Martians and it works just as well. If Martians did exist, I’m sure I’d prefer them to followers of Islam.

        That Golden Rule?

        “Do for others what you want them to do for you:that is the MEANING of the Law of Moses and the teachings of all the prophets”
        Matthew 7 v 12

        And allah completely MISSED that one didn’t he?

        allah missed the MEANING of the Law of Moses and the teachings of all the prophets.

        So the Golden Rule is defined as being the MEANING of the law and yet we see allah missed THAT.

        allah also MISSED:the 2 chief commandments of God{#1 Deut 4:6-9,#2 lev 19:18}-there is none of that infidel “love thy neighbor” stuff in islam-the Holy Spirit{=the source of Prophecy,Gods shared wisdom of Isaiah 42}the importance of teaching his followers to OBEY the Exodus 20 decalogue,the role of the Jews{“It is from the Jews that salvation comes” John 4 v 22},the name of God{it is YHWH not ‘al lah’},everything about Jesus Christ etc

        BTW regarding martians:I used to love the TV show “My Favorite Martian” in the days when Television was about entertainment.
        Uncle Martin the Martian…had mind reading abilities so he might not want anything to do with islam..

        Apr 3, 2020 at 7:19 pm

        Thanks for the comments, FYI, James and VikingBob. FYI, the Golden Rule, the at least trying to behave well towards other people, is everything. Islam is a vile ideology exactly because it does not contain that high ideal. It is so full of hate, what with all those calls to hate and try to kill non-Muslims. It is so evil. Full of hate, like Nazism, I’d say. I’m 70 years old so I can vaguely remember seeing “My Favourite Martian”. That would be a wonderful ability to have, to be able to read minds. Very useful. I’m sure anyone who could see the hatred inside many Muslims minds wouldn’t go anywhere near them. James, I enjoy your posts as well. I think that there are many wise and very aware people who post here at Jihad Watch. Occasionally, I get a little inspired. I thought the Martians was a good idea. My health is good so far. I’m a bit of a hermit, so this social isolation hasn’t bothered me too much. I think it will drive many, more sociable, people, completely crazy. It’s bloody annoying everything in normal life going off a cliff – the economy destroyed for a while, no sport to watch, no entertainment, etc. I spend time trying to become an, at least a little better, guitar player (reasonable singer, pretty terrible guitar player) and have actually written a couple of songs that don’t seem too bad, which I am quite surprised about as I am no musician, that’s for sure. I will run them by a musician friend of mine in the next couple of weeks. I hope you stay healthy too. VikingBob, I can’t believe the absolute bullshit, and totally paranoid, bullshit these Muslim spokesmen come out with, and , as you say, this madman is on a TV news show, which I guess means he is taken somewhat seriously. Their ideas are so twisted. It must be so weird, and pretty disturbing, inside their brains.

    • VikingBob says

      Apr 3, 2020 at 7:59 am

      Muslims like in Iraq spread this BS by word of mouth as most of them probably do not have access to TV or other news sources outside of their local yokels. So if it’s in the local news, it must be true. LOL

    Totalitarian ideologies (and Islam alone among the major religions of the world is such, as both Bertrand Russell and Winston Churchill noted a century ago) are steeped in conspiracy theories. It’s one of their “life bloods.” It’s just one more example of how totalitarian ideologies get most everything ass-backwards, examples being Nazism, Marxism and of course Islam.

    Put another way, examine how much an ideology in its own theory disallows liberty. Those who, as examples, “invented” ancient Athens and America, actually expanded liberty. The unholy trinity of ideologies which are Nazism, Marxism and Islam have done all they could to eliminate liberty.

    The lessons are there to learn for all who can truly learn lessons. Ah, so many can’t. To mankind’s detriment, way too many can’t unto this very day. Beyond a damn shame. Societal suicide actually. What Islam has wrought and continues to proffer, comes foremost to mind here.

    • James Lincoln says

      Apr 2, 2020 at 8:33 pm

      Wellington,

      The range of human behavior never ceases to amaze me.

      As you have accurately pointed out, on one hand we have Nazi-ism, Marxism, and islam – totalitarian ideologies.

      On the other hand we have the birth of liberty with ancient Athens and America.

      Mankind can be more cruel than the worst animal or most generous and kind – to a fault.

      And mankind can land astronauts on the moon – or participate in rape gangs.

      We’ll never know all of the answers why…

    This is nothing new. Despite the end of the Cold War and the opening of the late, unlamented East German regime’s archives, the disinformation that Markus Wolf placed with an Indian journalist about HIV/AIDS being launched in Fort Detrick to kill off the world’s non-white population remains widely believed. China’s blaming the US army for COVID-19 to divert attention from it being Made in China will probably also be widely believed.

    Maybe they should slowly agree on a theory.

    Well it IS obviously referred to in the koran and you cannot argue with allah’s “perfect” book can you?

    “Above it are nineteen”
    Koran 74:30

    Here we see allah is obviously talking about COVID-19 isn’t he?Look!It’s in the koran!

    {Alright-alright-you know what?I just made that up:like when islamic apologists tell you the koran is full of astonishing Scientific Wonders.

    You just take a line from the koran and if necessary ‘Fiddle the Arabic” to make it look so and when people dismiss this nonsense the islamic apologist will say “Ah you don’t know Arabic.That’s not what it means”{unless they are confronted by Arabic speaking scientifically literate ex-muslims or Atheists in which case the “Fiddle the Arabic” trick won’t work}

    There are no scientific wonders in the koran any more than there are in the Bible.
    If you want Science,that’s what STEM textbooks are for:muslims claim that their koran is a scientific source.Of course it isn’t.

    There is a (youtube) channel called King City (Царь Град) created by the government of Russia or Putin himself (the german DW channel also says so) that recently started to spread propaganda, explaining why the USA needed and created this virus. Unfortunately, their propaganda is working. It’s a way of shifting the blame on someone else.

  12. OLD GUY says

    Apr 3, 2020 at 12:54 pm

    Islam the biggest LIE ever, but it continues with one lie after the other. Not much different from communist China or any other dictatorship around the world that misleads their citizens and the rest of the world with propaganda. You do not hear islam blaming China for this virus the same as you never hear one dictator accusing another dictator or saying anything bad about their dictatorship.

    Islam and communism one in the same they both repress freedom of thought and the suppression of a lesser group of humans either by race or religion. They both have to be fighting an enemy in order to keep control over their citizens through lie’s and fear and that they are superior and are winning that battle.
