If anyone expects the jihad war to slow down because of an infidel-imposed lockdown, they are naïve. Jihadists are willing and ready to achieve the highest calling of martyrdom in the way of jihad; death is no deterrent.
Jihadists also saw coronavirus as a personal weapon. The Wall Street Journal reported on what they were saying about coronavirus from back in April:
Many jihadists are cheering the virus on. Balagh, a monthly magazine published out of Idlib, Syria, by clerics with al Qaeda sympathies, calls the virus “one of Allah’s soldiers”: the “corona-soldier.” This is a popular theme. Jihadist writer Khalid al Sibai warned on the Thabat news agency’s Telegram channel that this “tiny soldier,” which has so devastated the U.S. and its allies, could soon be joined by jihadist soldiers in the flesh—a threat. On Hamas’s al Aqsa TV, Imam Jamil al Mutawa boasted that Allah “sent just one soldier,” the virus, “and it has hit all 50 states” in America, driven Israel into lockdown, but left Palestinians mostly unaffected.
Interpol, an international police organization that facilitates global enforcement cooperation, also confirmed that terrorist groups have been using the pandemic to reinforce their power and influence.
“2020: The Year Radical Islamic Terror Resurged, Despite Pandemic,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, December 30, 2020:
Despite the lockdowns in many countries due to the Wuhan virus pandemic, Europe saw at least seven terrorist attacks in 2020, with radical Islamic terror seeing a particular resurgence in France.
The first Islamist terror attack took place prior to the coronavirus pandemic in January, when a Salafist named Nathan C. stabbed three people in the French commune of Vileljuif, killing one and injuring the two others.
In February, a man was shot dead by police in Streatham, England, after he had stabbed multiple people. The attacker was later identified as Sudesh Amman, who had been released from prison just days prior, having been convicted of terrorism offences in 2018 for disseminating terrorist material.
Following the outbreak of the coronavirus, Europe initially saw fewer radical Islamic terror attacks, although there was a mass stabbing by a Sudanese migrant yelling “Allahu Akbar” in the French commune of Romans-sur-Isère in April that left two dead and at least seven more wounded.
Several other migrants were later also arrested in connection to the attack, and investigators later revealed that the migrant had been angry “that he lives in a country of non-believers.”
England also suffered another terror attack in June, when 25-year-old Libyan refugee Khairi Saadallah took a knife to six people at a park in Reading, killing three of them, including an American citizen, after being released early from prison.
But a new wave of attacks was sparked by the September republishing of Mohammed cartoons by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo at the start of a trial for accomplices of the terrorists who attacked the offices of the magazine in 2015, killing a dozen people.
The first attack that was said to have been motivated by the republishing of the Mohammed cartoons came in late September, when a Pakistani migrant attacked two people with a meat cleaver outside the former offices of the magazine. The 18-year-old later admitted to police he wanted to attack Charlie Hebdo employees, although they had long left the premises.
Just weeks later on October 16th, French teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded in the street by a Chechen refugee in the department of Yvelines. The terrorist was said to have been motivated by the fact Paty had shown his class the Mohammed cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo during a class on freedom of expression….

As Hanoi Jane Fonda commented (100% correctly) “Covid is God’s gift to the left”.

Shockingly, she *did* actually say this:

Never mind that 1.8 million people have died of this disease, including over 350,000 Americans. Just appalling.
LB says
Graven, please don’t buy into the crap you’re hearing on TV. Almost all covid deaths are co-causatory, meaning all those people’s health was already compromised by either some other condition or simply deep old age.
All corona does is knock out your immune system for a while (making it extremely vulnerable for any other disease), and if the body doesn’t recover in time, it will move to the respiratory system. But even then death is not guaranteed as you can get hooked onto respirators while antibiotics work on restoring your immune system. I’ve had it, along with a number of my friends and co-workers and we all recovered just fine. A few had to be hospitalized, but they too made it with no issues.
Besides, where does the 1.8 million number comes from? I’ll tell you: the World Health Organisation. Who is vetting that number? Why the WHO themselves. Also, what’s to stop them from saying that 10 million people died of covid? Nothing. And who can dispute it? No one.
By the way, this is the same WHO that is a part of The Great Reset globalist plan to take away all of our belongings and be forever indebted to ultra billionaires. But to achieve that, they first need to get rid of the booming capitalist economy. And what do you know? It just so happens that a “global pandemic” (with 99.99% recovery rate, unfortunately for the globalists) occurred, forcing us all into lockdown which destroyed many private businesses but greatly enabled massive conglomerates like Amazon, Microsoft and Google, only making those same ultra billionaires even richer and more powerful.
All these “unrelated events” are rather convenient for The Great Reset plan, perhaps even TOO convenient, for the marxist globalists, don’t you think?

LB, this disease is not imaginary–my niece is a emergency room surgey nurse and the ICUs in many hospitals really are close to full. (Whether the lockdown is the best response to this pandemic is something that can certainly be argued, though).
And I am glad that so many people have recovered from it, including yourself–this is a good thing, but does not mean that the disease ergo is not serious.
As for figures, I use Avi Schiffmann’s fine Coronavirus dashboard. Statistics are compiled from a number of different sources, and figures are likely an undercount. Numbers are not just invented by a single source.

There is no doubt that many on the hard left are hoping to make use of this pandemic to remake the global economy, generally in a more Communist and radical Environmentalist mode. Here in California, one hears a great deal of this tripe.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is not the same as the World Health Organization (WHO), though.
And Leftists hope to take advantage of any global events, including a pandemic–that they are doing so does not make the disease itself suspect. There have in fact been epidemics many times in human history.

It’s ironic that a Chechen refugee committed this atrocity in the name of the religion of peace as most Chechen refugees flee their country to escape Islamic oppression imposed upon them by their dictatorial leader.

Not really. The Boston Marathon bombers were also pious Muslims form Chechnya.
Keith O says
Quite frankly, if I was in the position of the Jihadist’s and wanted to cause as much grief as possible, the Chinese plague presents the perfect opportunity.
My enemies have already been weakened and I would take advantage of that. I must admit that I respect the ability of the Mudslime terrorists to adapt to situations.
Our greatest problem is that the world is in a war where only one side acknowledges that they are at war.
For as long as this situation occurs then the Mudslimes have the advantage.
nicholas tesdorf says
Covid-19 which among other bad things brought about the widespread wearing of face masks and lockdowns has been a friend to Jihadists and the criminal Left generally. These groups seize any opportunity to spread their evil beliefs in action. They are sworn enemies of Truth, Light and World Peace.
Infidel says
In India, the main spreader of the disease was a banned Jamaat Taghlibi gathering in Delhi of mainly foreign muslims, many of who violated the conditions of their visas. Months later, most were allowed to return to their countries
This was a biological jihad attack, aided and abetted by the Chinavirus

No surprise there…
Walter Sieruk says
What a cruel and vicious god, Allah is.
For when getting down to basic Quran theology which is the Quran based worldview the one who is really to blame and is responsible for the coronavirus plague is the god of Islam ,Allah. For according to the Quran Allah had sent cruel disaster of coronavirus on human beings .
This means then the god of Islam, as if he really does is a destructive and malicious god. For the Quran teaches in Surah 57:22. “No misfortune [disaster] can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree [Quran ] before [in eternity ] We [Allah] bring it into existence: that is easy for Allah.”
Therefore according the Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran the Islamic god, Allah, is guilty of infecting people with coronavirus What a cruel vicious, malicious god Allah must be. So Allah is than a very unloving malice –filled god.
Nevertheless, all Christians and Jews shout not lose faith and heart in the God of the Bible as vicious by sending coronavirus on people.
This is because the god of Islam is should be made clear that the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “
Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.”
john smith says
True Walter, allah is a cruel vicious god,and thats because he really is satan.
According to Walid Shoebat, in ancient aramaic, lucifer translates as “crescent moon son of the morning star”

Yes–“Allah” is a vicious figure.
