Nigeria: 300 Muslims gather at mosque, throw stones at police appealing to them to disperse

Apr 13, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Priorities.

“Imams react to attack on coronavirus taskforce in Lagos,” by Isa Isawade, PM News Nigeria, April 5, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

It was with rude shock that Lagosians received news of an unfortunate assault on the Lagos State Coronavirus Taskforce operatives monitoring compliance on the state’s social distancing regulation to contain spread of the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19).

Government had banned any gathering of people beyond 25 in number and raised a taskforce to monitor compliance across the state.

However, around 8pm on Tuesday 31st of March 2020, over 300 people gathered in Agege Central Mosque to observe Salatul Ishah.

Apparently having gotten wind of the gathering, the operatives headed for the Mosque to appeal to the congregation to disperse.

But on sighting the approaching officers, the members reportedly began to throw stones at them; fracas ensued and reinforcement of mobile police officers was deployed before normalcy returned.

The unpalatable development has generated controversy and raised questions on the position of Islam or Muslims over the government’s regulation….

    Here’s a thought: Don’t disperse and actually hug each other. Allah will protect you—and at the same time stay away from all those awful non-Muslims whom Allah will not protect.

    Oh yeah, definitely a good plan here for Mohammedans to follow. Do it.

      Wellington, I don’t think Muslims are apt to hug even each other. Now if you want to suggest their getting close to other people to punish them for being “insufficiently Islamic”, that’s a different matter…

      Also add in low IQs / islamic brainwashing and the results are predictable…

    You might get the impression that Islam is incompatible with modern medical science.

    Only one religious group in the world is protesting the quarantine: Muslims. Only the leaders of one religious group is openly denouncing the quarantine: Muslims. Only the leaders of one religious group is calling for the deaths of members of other religions: Muslims.

    The Agege Central Mosque will be fairly accused of being a “SUPER-SPREADER”.

    Here’s a better idea: block them in there. Be gracious, send food, toiletries and all that, but keep them quarantined there.

    They wanted to be together so much? Let them stay. They can infect each other.

    Oh for goodness sakes! Let them congregate in a huge group if they want to. Encourage the sick ones to join them, so Elleh Ekbar can heel them. Or hail them, or hale them. What ever.

    This is a good reason to stop muslim/islamic immigration around the world, we need to close the borders to them.
