This idea is based on the assumption that adherence to Sharia will bring one success and prosperity in this world as well as the next. That also leads to jihad activity, since jihad warfare against unbelievers is likewise a Sharia tenet.
“Muslims ‘immune to coronavirus’ some imams in Somalia say, putting public at risk,” by Emily Judd, Al Arabiya, May 10, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Some imams in Somalia are saying Muslims are immune to COVID-19, going against senior Muslim scholars who have insisted the coronavirus pandemic is a severe threat to all people around the globe.
FYI says
imams are immune…… to Logic,Science and Reason.
James Lincoln says
FYI,
Rightly so.
Actual “thinking” is vehemently discouraged in islam.
The imams prefer brainwashed, mindless, followers…
mortimer says
Response to FYI and JL: my reading of Islamic philosophy suggests that Al Ghazali (a reformer who returned Islam to its basics) rejected most of Aristotelian logic and philosophy, but he agreed with ‘hard’ science, because (so he thought) it could not contradict the Koran.
Islam is in retreat from reality, but it will agree with science that doesn’t contradict Islam. Much of what ‘imams’ do is to explain why the Koran and Mohammed do not say what they have clearly said. For instance, they go to lengths to show that the Koran and Mohammed don’t mean that the sun sets in a muddy spring, even though they both clearly express that claim.
When Muslims see that the Koran is hopelessly wrong on many points, they leave Islam.
When Muslims see that the mullahs are cheating by re-interpreting the erroneous states in the Koran and Mohammed, they leave the mosque, but not all leave Islam. They create their own private version of Islam.

The filthy muslim “holey” man is right. the faithful islamics need to keep on licking doorknobs, icons, and shrines. And if they are lucky enough to make their pilgrimage to crowd around that big rock, they need to lick that too.
DHazard says
Allah loves rumors, ruminating and ruin, in that order.
mortimer says
It’s an oral culture. People don’t read what the hadiths and Sharia law manuals say, so they accept whatever the mullahs say in completely blind faith.
Much of Islam is faith in the mullahs. But the mullahs are betraying the trust of their followers.
Many Muslim doctors and nurses will lose their faith in Islam due to the unscientific, stupid arrogance of the mullahs.

Sadly, though, many do not–and instead abuse Infidel patients and demand exemptions from having to wash their hands with alcohol cleansers.
Dude says
Of course, the faulty logic in the books aims at getting everyone dead as soon as possible so all good cult members throughout the last centuries can finally go to Paradise.
Even if you die from Corona, still all the kafirs you infect and kill get your cause closer – just like strapping on a vest at a rock concert and having a blast! You go immediately to Jerk-off Heaven and avoid waiting around a few.more millennia. Win-win.
The stupidity is all so logical.
Eur says
the president of the islamic commission of spain died weeks ago due to the coronavirus ….
gravenimage says
He must have been a bad Muslim, don’tcha know…
mortimer says
No … he’s actually a MARTYR … when Muslims lose, they move the goal posts and claim victory! Even more glorious! He died during Ramadan.
gravenimage says
You hear both of these things from Muslims, Mortimer. No need for logic or consistency.
keith O says
These fools remind me of the superstitious priests of the middle ages when the black death was having it’s crack at culling the heard.
“GOD WILL PROTECT YOU”. Don’t worry about over a thousand years of medical science, our primitive book will protect you. DICKHEADS!
mortimer says
Many churches closed during the Bubonic Plague in the 1300s. Churches were closed in 1918 during the Spanish Flu.
keith O says
Yes Mortimer, many did close and a lot stayed open.
I do find it interesting that you class 1918 as the middle ages!
gravenimage says
You are quite correct, Mortimer:

It’s true, Muslims are immune. They should ignore the social distancing rules with fellow Muslims and avoid any contact at all with infidels.

Somalia: Some imams preach that Muslims are ‘immune to coronavirus’
…………………
Pious morons. They don’t care how many they kill.
Charlie says
I would encourage them to associate with each other, as usual. Attend their mosques. I think their immune, too. Hopefully, they’ll go for it:-)
mortimer says
Robert Spencer says that the claim that Muslims will not get sick “is based on the assumption that adherence to Sharia will bring one success”.
As a result of such preaching, many deaths will occur. The mullahs will then declare the deceased were ‘martyrs’ who will receive their 72 virgins.
andrew mckendrick says
Or their 72 raisins , depending on who`s translation is accurate.
OLD GUY says
Islam what a “religion” they still make it up on the fly, just like Muhammad did when he was committing atrocities to gain power.
Francis Weber says
The fat white dwarf named Muhammad who had all the medical knowledge given to him by the mute stone statue Allah said there were no transient diseases.
Get over it islamophobes!
No Fear says
Terrible! Terrible! Terrible is too small a word.
