Pakistan: Muslim stabs policeman while trying to escape quarantine, was one of 27 testing positive for coronavirus

Apr 1, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

“As per reports, 27 out of 35 members of the Tablighi Jamaat tested positive for the Wuhan Coronavirus in Raiwind in Lahore in the Punjab region of Pakistan. The Islamic outfit had organised a religious congregation for 1200 people. The event was later called off thus making it difficult for the members to reach home, amidst the government-sanctioned lockdown. The Markaz was sealed and turned into a quarantine facility, housing 25 people.”

The organizers and many of those who had planned to attend almost certainly believed that Allah would protect them from the coronavirus, as many Muslim preachers have been insisting.

“Pakistan: Tablighi Jamaat member stabs policeman while trying to escape quarantine after 2 dozen members test positive for coronavirus,” OpIndia, March 31, 2020:

On Sunday, a member of the Tablighi Jamaat stabbed a police officer SHO Ashraf Malik Maakhi, with a knife after he reportedly tried to escape a quarantine facility. The officer was then shifted to the DHQ Hospital in Layyah and is said to be in a stable condition. The assailant was apprehended by the cops from Swabi district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan.

As per reports, 27 out of 35 members of the Tablighi Jamaat tested positive for the Wuhan Coronavirus in Raiwind in Lahore in the Punjab region of Pakistan. The Islamic outfit had organised a religious congregation for 1200 people. The event was later called off thus making it difficult for the members to reach home, amidst the government-sanctioned lockdown. The Markaz was sealed and turned into a quarantine facility, housing 25 people.

Earlier in March, the Tablighi Jamaat organised a religious congregation of 1.5 lakh people on the outskirts of Lahore. The mass gathering resulted in transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants, in complete breach of social distancing, ate and slept in close quarters.

Two Palestinian citizens who attended the meeting tested positive for Coronavirus, thus becoming the first case of the outbreak in the Gaza Strip which is one of the most densely populated areas with poverty levels as high as 50%. The patients were shifted to an isolation ward at a hospital in the city of Rafah. Around 1,270 people were quarantined after they entered Gaza from Israel and Egypt. This had resulted in a state of panic in the region with limited testing capabilities….

    “The organizers and many of those who had planned to attend almost certainly believed that Allah would protect them from the coronavirus, as many Muslim preachers have been insisting”

    I don’t know what “many” means since you ignore those that warn of the dangers of coronavirus through selective reporting. By the way, some Jewish Rabbis have been saying the same thing but strangely you seem to completely ignore when representatives of other religions behave irresponsibly. See below:

    Israeli Charedim on coronavirus: ‘We’re not scared, God will protect us’

      ELI: “..some Jewish Rabbis have been saying the same thing but strangely you seem to completely ignore when representatives of other religions behave irresponsibly. ”

      That’s because we know the members are smart enough to ignore such bad advice. Every part of Judaism is argued, unlike kitaab followers. It’s no accident that Jews lead the world in achievements. Islam’s slaves, having programned lives, not so much.

        Westerman, Israel is having big problems with the Haredim. I’m just writing about it now. Not that that has any bearing on the slur that this discerning ELI is trying to cast.

        • ELI says

          Apr 1, 2020 at 9:38 am

          Of course they’re having big problems. The problem is that jihadwatch is selectively reporting so that people like Westman think only Muslims are doing idiotic stuff during this difficult time. In fact, followers of all religions have acted irresponsibly. That’s the point.

        • Anjuli Pandavar says

          Apr 1, 2020 at 3:38 pm

          Hang in there, ELI. I’ll answer your prayers even if Allah cannot.

        Does the Islamophilic ELI have a problem with this Jihadist stabbing this policeman? Not so he says…

    • Anjuli Pandavar says

      Apr 1, 2020 at 9:16 am

      Oh man, FFS. The article is about those who ATTENDED, not about those who did not attend. The relevant preachers IN THIS STORY are the ones who said that Allah will protect those WHO ATTEND. that’s the connection. No rabbis, zero, of whatever opinion, were amongst those preachers encouraging the Tablighis to attend. Ziltch, none. Boy oh boy.

      Do you feel the need to reinforce the impression of Muslim stupidity that got a bit watered down by those Muslims who stay away from such gatherings? Well, that’s intelligence of a sort, I suppose.

        That’s all ELI has done since he arrived here a couple of weeks ago.

        • Paul J says

          Apr 2, 2020 at 5:54 am

          Yes GI he seems to have trouble coming to terms with the fact that this site is called JihadWatch; a site devoted to the goings on in the islamic world that the mainstream media refuse to report on. Anti-Semitic and anti Christian stories are abundant in the mainstream media so perhaps he should be writing in the comment sections of those “esteemed” outlets.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 2, 2020 at 11:55 pm

          Oh, he knows this, Paul. ELI is just trying to undermine Jihad Watch.

      “…some Jewish Rabbis have been saying….”
      —————————————————————

      “Jewish rabbis” ? – is there another sort then ?

      So – there’s a iman, a priest, and a rabbit all go into a blood-clinic to get checked for China-virus, and the rabbit says: “I think I’m a typo……”

    WHY DO MUSLIMS BELIEVE THEY ARE IMMUNE FROM CORONA ??? Did Mohammed really advise quarantine? Find out why he didn’t.

    Re: “Pakistan: Muslim stabs policeman while trying to escape quarantine, was one of 27 testing positive for coronavirus” ER, SO?!

    They’re in PAKISTAN, FFS! So either it should have read:

    Pakistan: Muslim stabs Muslim policeman while trying to escape quarantine, was one of 27 testing positive for coronavirus…

    or

    Activist JIHADI stabs policeman, etc.
