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

Nigeria: Muslim cleric says coronavirus is punishment from Allah for homosexuality and adultery

Jul 18, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Fasad is corruption, depravity.

Zina is adultery and any other unlawful sexual activity — fornication and the like.

Taofeek Abdulazeez is actually making an extended pitch for the idea that the coronavirus is Allah’s punishment for not obeying the Sharia, and so can only be cured by Sharia obedience. Requirements to wage jihad against unbelievers are part of Sharia as much as the rules against sodomy and zina, so this kind of argumentation is likely to lead to more jihad activity among those who pay heed to the learned imam’s analysis.

“COVID-19 a spiritual punishment from God – UNIABUJA Chief Imam,” by Musliudeen Adebayo, Daily Post, July 16, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Contrary to beliefs that coronavirus also known as COVID-19 was manufactured in China or caused by human contact with animals, an Islamic cleric, Professor Taofeek Abdulazeez has said that the virus is a punishment from Allah (God).

Abdulazeez, who doubled as the Chief Imam, University of Abuja, described COVID-19 pandemic as a spiritual punishment from God….

The Professor of Communication and Language Arts, while speaking at the Balogun’s residence on Wednesday, said that what the world is witnessing now is as result of accummulated sins, irrespective of the various conspiracy theories….

“Allah may be angry with the world, especially the religious leaders, for their conspiratorial silence when the world is engrossed in global advocacy, applaud and involve in Fasad especially, sodomy and Zina,” he said.

Abdulazeez, who said he has his concerns on the Covid-19 pandemic, asked the world to repent and go back to God Almighty for forgiveness.

Quoting several portions of the Quran and historical antecedents to back his claim, Abdulazeez prayed to God to take the pandemic away as it has disrupted every facet of life.

    Bigotry and ignorance of anything scientific seems to be the constant factors within Islam.

    This man is both a mullah and a teacher, but he is not fully educated. He states his opinions as facts.

    Nigeria’s Muslims’ backwardness is reflected in their tolerance of Boko Haram, a group (I dare not say ‘organization’) whose goal is to destroy ‘books’ and modern university learning.

    On the other hand, Nigeria is the most highly educated country in Africa. Clearly, the educated are winning, but the primitive, backward mullahs and practitioners of magic still hold sway over many. Mullahs like that say whatever comes into their heads. And many Nigerian Muslims allow them to go on unquestioned. Nevertheless, many other Muslims are leaving Islam for that very reason. That is a big source of the resentment, hatred and persecution of Christianity in Nigeria by primitive Muslims like this mullah.

    Yet how can the ‘Professor of Communication and Language Arts’ let his lips flap, if such ideas are not current in Nigeria. How can a thoughtless man like this even get a job in a university?

    How about the REAL explanation of this virus? People in two labs in Wuhan inadvertently took the virus out the door of the lab while they went to a local outdoor fish market for lunch.

    Muslims have holes in their narrative.

    Punishing all for the sins of one. Yes, that sounds like the character of Allah who is reminiscent of the school’s most unpopular teacher. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

    Apparently, designing a plague that targets only the “wicked” is either beyond Allah’s ability or Allah is just too lazy and doesn’t care about the suffering of his slaves. In fact, Allah has never made an appearance anywhere, not even to Muhammad. No miracles, no saving the “best of peoples” from disease, no Allah?

    And what would Allah have us do to stop the coronavirus – “eliminate” all homosexuals and make murderers of us? Oh, I forget, murder for the sake of Allah brings rewards in Jannah. Sick enough?

    Have we thwarted dear Allah with vaccines that stopped smallpox, measles, polio, pertussis, tetanus, meningitis, etc?

    When a successful vaccine is produced for covid-19, Allah will be left to pout on his throne about those ungrateful non-slaves who didn’t appreciate his disease.

    Muslim cleric says coronavirus is punishment from Allah for homosexuality and adultery

    Well one thing I’ll concede, professor Abdulazeez’s claim is certainly consistent with allah’s psychopathic personality. It’s already well established that allah is a murderous bigot, it makes sense that he would cause a pandemic that kills multitudes. Allah is not a god worth worshiping or respecting, you don’t teach or help humanity by killing those you love. But of course allah doesn’t love gays or adulterers any more than he loves Christians, Jews, and apostates. Allah is a hateful and intolerant god invented by hateful and intolerant people. It is claimed that allah “can do all things,” but the reality is that allah is incapable of even acting like a morally decent entity. How can allah do all things when he can’t even act as nice as your average human being?

    Abdulazeez, who said he has his concerns on the Covid-19 pandemic, asked the world to repent and go back to God Almighty for forgiveness.

    Yes, if you want to overcome the pandemic then turn to the immoral and deranged god who caused it with repentance in our hearts. No, it makes no sense to repent our scientific understanding of viruses and illness to an ignorant god of murderous hate invented by a fraud. Allah should repent and ask us to forgive him for all the murder and terror he’s caused.

    Let’s face it folks, faithful muslims are, by and large, retarded for allah. Their moral understanding comes from a god and prophet who murdered and hated for the worst possible reasons. They are dedicated to a religion anchored in superstitious-based violence, and they expect everyone else to bow to that religion or die. Am I 100% correct in asserting most muslims are against us “infidels”? Perhaps not. But if I were only 10% correct that would still mean islam has more muslims against us than Nazis during WWII. Think about it.
