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

India: Muslim MP says ‘Coronavirus is not a disease but punishment by Allah for our sins’

Jul 23, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The solution to the virus, therefore, is to reopen the mosque and redouble one’s Islamic fervor. This is the kind of thinking that leads to jihad activity. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44)

So if a believer goes on jihad, his good deeds will outweigh all his evil deeds. If coronavirus is caused by sin and Islamic piety is its cure, this will lead to jihad, the highest expression of Islamic piety.

“COVID-19 will disappear if muslims allowed to offer namaz in mosques, says MP Shafiqur Rahman,” India TV, July 21, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Samajwadi Party’s Sambhal MP Shafiqur Rehman Barq on Tuesday demanded the opening of Idgahs and mosques on the occassion of Bakr Eid to offer to prayers to end Coronavirus. He said that coronavirus is not a disease but punishment by God for people’s sins and the best cure of coronavirus is to pray to God.

“On the occasion of Bakr Eid, markets should be opened so that people can buy animals from there. Mosques and eidgahs should be opened for people, to offer to prayers to end Coronavirus….No cure of Coronavirus has been found so far, which means Coronavirus is not a disease but punishment by God for our sins. The best cure of Corona is that we all pray to God,” he said.

“I believe that when we will apologise in the mosques, pray for coronavirus to end, God will listen to our prayers and the situation will improve,” he added.

All festivals during the COVID-19 pandemic period have been observed strictly as per the guidelines ensuring social distancing….

    This idiot won’t have to see a doctor when he gets sick then.

    If Islam doesn’t work and is completely dysfunctional after 1400 years, then ‘try-try-again’ !!

    Islam is a recipe for failure and backwardness as evidenced by this idiot that other idiots elected.

    Nature is in charge! Do not eat wildlife! Farmers provide our food!——-Islam think only of themselves and make up fantasy stories as and when they have a good idea!

    I wonder what disease has eaten this idiot’s brain away and led him to make such an unbelievably dumb statement. Oh, right, that’s islam, that’s the disease that has eaten this man’s brain and stopped it from functioning. Yeah, all you need to do is pray and this virus won’t harm you. And the alarming thing is that he is actually an MP, a member of Parliament, which means he has been successful in winning many votes to gain his place in Parliament. By all means pray to whatever God you believe in, but using mankind’s hard won scientific knowledge is a really good idea as well.

      the “disease” is islam and its twin catholicism…fingers on the same hand…

        What rot. Catholics are not being taught to wage violent Jihad.

          Spot on, gravenimage. All the branches of Christianity are the complete opposite of violent, barbaric islam. Because the differences are so great and so obvious, I cannot comprehend how some of these Christian theologians and church leaders think that there is some connection or similarity between Islam and Christianity.

      • tim gallagher says

        Jul 24, 2020 at 12:26 am

        I can’t see any connection at all between Catholicism or any other branch of Christianity and Islam, shosh. I believe Islam is the complete opposite of Christianity and I also believe that islam is most evil, violent and repulsive of all religions. Buddhism seems fairly peaceful and tolerant to me. On this complete idiot in this report, how the fuck can someone as moronic as this guy, yeah, let’s all just go to the mosque and pray and don’t worry about the need for medical treatment based on scientific knowledge, actually get into Parliament? That’s the main thing that struck me about this report. We’ve had quite a few fools make it into the Australian Parliament, but, seriously, this clown is an MP!!. Truly unbelievable.

          Look a little closer at islam. Islam hates Jews and hates the G-d of the Jews, calling the Jewish Bible a book of lies. Catholicism hates Jews and the G-d of the Jews (Ferdinand and Isabella drove Jews out of Spain during the Inquisition and killed many who did not leave or refused to convert to catholicism. Catholic crusaders killed countless numbers of Jews in Israel. Don’t believe me? Look at catholics in Israel supporting BDS, Arabs who shout Itbakh el yahud ! Burn all the Jews are blessed by Catholic priests standing in solidarity with “palestinians” whose hands are dripping Jewish blood, saying the Land of Israel belongs to the Arabs. Catholic priests stood side by side with Hitler at Nazi rallies and the Pope said nothing as the news filtered out about thousands upon thousands of Jews dying in death camps. Islam worships a demon god in absolute idolatry and blasphemy and catholicism worships a dead woman in absolute blasphemy and idolatry….G-d told us not to make graven images (molded and sculpted) and not to worship these images or pray to these images….the very cover of this article we are discussing has a now headless graven image that was prayed to and worshipped.and revered even above Yeshua HIMSELF. Look at the pope today who is entering mosques declaring allah god and joining himself to islam by kissing the quran and calling it a holy book. All who follow this whore of babylon and this demon god allah will never see the Kingdom of the ONLY LIVING G-D, the G-d of Israel whose very name is hated and despised and never used among catholics or muslim but HE declared HIMSELF TO BE THE G-D OF ISRAEL in over 200 exact name instances and HE IS RETURNING BEFORE THE 1948 GENERATION PASSES (THE FIG TREE IN MATTHEW 24) which means many people alive today will see THE SON OF MAN RETURNING IN THE CLOUDS….AND HE WILL BE GOING TO ISRAEL, TO JERUSALEM, KING DAVID’S SON AND TO THE THRONE OF DAVID.
          BEFORE THE 1948 GENERATION PASSES

          What Catholics have called the Bible a “book of lies”?

          And Pope Pius XII saved more Jewish people from the NAZIs than did anyone else.

          You may hate Christian art–and so do Muslims.

    Perhaps the appropriate response is to test his hypothesis with a challenge trial. Lock him in a mosque, together with as many others as agree with him, and spray the air inside with SARS-Cov2. Let them pray all they want, but let no one leave or seek any medical treatment for at least 100 days.

    If enough volunteers would fill two mosques, then consider supplying food and water to only one of the two cohorts. Let the other cohort pray, and see how that works out for them.

    They should let him do it. Let the Indian Muslims congregate in mosques all they want. India could use less Muslims to cause trouble.

      They will also pass the disease on to Infidels.

      The risk of contagion would require a containment strategy, e.g. detaining Uighurs. Dietary suggestion: either prayer or unlimited bacon & beer.

    India: Muslim MP says “Coronavirus is not a disease but punishment by Allah for our sins”
    ……………..

    Seems there’s nothing that murdering more Infidels will not cure–and if it doesn’t cure it, it’s because you haven’t murdered enough Infidels…

    God, I hate Islam.

    He knows that what he is trumpeting is a pack of lies, but his followers will believe him, and that is all that matters.

    All islamic creatures great and small

    “All things shite and horrible
    his ‘Scholars’ dumb an’ all
    all things vile and terrible
    and allah made them all”

    {So as not to upset any muslims who might be triggered and inspired to jihadism through such facetiousness which some folk say could undermine serious scholarly debate,you know what?

    Here’s a hymn to allah..}

    “he wants the whole world..in his TWO RIGHT HANDS{clap}
    he wants the whole world..in his TWO RIGHT HANDS{clap}
    he wants the whole world…in his TWO RIGHT HANDS{clap}
    and allah is his name.

    he split the moon in two{oh yes he did!}{3 times}
    and allah is his name.

    he thinks he’s YHWH too{oh yes he does!{3 times}
    and allah is his name”

    Thank allah i’m an infidel.

    Man these guys are smart, they need to gather together and hug and kiss each other at their mosque, for this blessing from allah.
