This cleric has nothing to say about when Muslims get the coronavirus, but there is another aspect to this as well: the open hatred of non-Muslims expressed here and by so many other Muslim clerics, yet is completely ignored in the West.
“Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another” (Qur’an 48:29).
“Corona virus ‘is one of Almighty Allah’s soldiers… He is unleashing it on those who attack His believers,’ says preacher on official PA TV,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, March 9, 2020:
Before Corona broke out in the PA, a preacher on official Palestinian Authority TV taught that the virus is “one of Almighty Allah’s soldiers” and that Allah is punishing the sinners – “those who attack His believers”:
Unidentified preacher: “The true meaning of the epidemics is a trial from Almighty Allah and a punishment. A trial for the believers and a punishment for the sinners… If they have stood firm and place their trust in Allah, then they will receive an enormous reward, and whoever dies in the epidemic merits the reward of Martyrdom… If the epidemic harms non-believers, from among the abusers and the aggressors, then that is punishment… This [Corona] virus is one of Almighty Allah’s soldiers, and He is unleashing it on those who attack His believers…”
[Official PA TV, Feb. 28, 2020]
The unidentified preacher further explained that epidemics are “a trial for the believers and a punishment for the sinners.” To underscore this religious view – that epidemics are a punishment – the preacher quoted Islam’s Prophet Muhammad and his uncle Ibn Abbas who both explained that plagues are the punishment for people in places where “abomination” and “corruption” occur:
“The Sunna (i.e., Islamic tradition) has indicated that acts of abomination and corruption cause epidemics. Prophet [Muhammad] said: ‘An abomination has not appeared among a people… without plague and suffering breaking out…’ And Ibn Abbas (an uncle of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad and an early Quranic scholar –Ed.) said: ‘Corruption has never appeared among any people without mass death reaching them.'”
However, since Muslim believers are also dying from Corona the preacher added that believers who die from the epidemic are being tested and “if they have stood firm and place their trust in Allah, then they will receive an enormous reward, and whoever dies in the epidemic merits the reward of Martyrdom.”
The PA preacher’s message is that because of the corruption and abomination in the world, “Allah’s soldiers” – in this case the Corona virus – bring retribution on humanity.
While this preacher was not identified, his sermon was broadcast by official PA TV and the PA Ministry of Religious Affairs has just announced once again that it is responsible for appointing Imams in the mosques:
“[PA] Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Husam Abu Al-Rub… said that the ministry is making sure to support the mosques and appoint skilled and capable Imams and preachers so that they will take upon themselves the responsibility of managing the mosques, organizing them, supervising them, leading the worshippers, and giving the Friday sermon.”

For some perverse reason allah seems to hate shia moslems. (Iran)
mortimer says
According to this bigot, Muslims are ‘tried’, but dirty kufaar are ‘punished’. Maybe the Muslims are ‘punished’ too. He doesn’t admit that possibility.
Moreover, Muslims do many things that are not good for their health, like 50 generations of first-cousin marriage and drinking camel urine.
Many Muslims are afflicted from cradle to grave with genetically-related illnesses, but this bigot will never mention it.
Islam causes ill health.
Westman says
Maybe Allah doesn’t like presumptive Iranians who kiss infected shrines to show that Allah will protect them? Or, perhaps, Allah is just busy and unwilling to take the time to save them.
PRCS says
Busy, I suspect.
He/she/it has a huge universe to oversee.
mortimer says
Westman is right: Allah obviously hates humanity since he provided Muslims an absurd, vicious book to guide them to kill fellow humans and fellow Muslims.
Inbreeding is very common in Iran due to the frequency of first-cousin and uncle-niece marriage.
The disastrous ill health of the Iranian people will be a big issue in Iran and may lead to the demise of the mullahocracy.

More so; isn’t it hillarious how the everage mental capacity of these mooslum leaders and their equally braindesd lackies are so close to matching those braindead leftist zombies in our western societies; off-course, except for the in-breeding’ part!

We arguably have here today Exhibit #1 respecting how Islam and its deluded followers contribute NOTHING in general to the advancement of mankind, and specifically here to the advancement of medicine.
I mean if you really believe (sorry, can’t dignify this with the word “thinking”), that the coronavirus is “one of Almighty Allah’s soldiers, blah, blah, blah….,” then you’e an effing fool who no one of sense and knowledge should pay any attention to. But then this applies to the Islamic portion of mankind in general, irrespective of the coranavirus, now doesn’t it? I mean why should any Muslim be respected anymore than an anarchist, Neo-Nazi, Antifa member, Marxist ideologue, KKK member, etc. are? Yes, some of these other losers are nice people in their daily life, just as some Muslims are, but so what? Doesn’t make what they believe in OK—not even close.
Islam functions as a collective idiot, what the worst of mankind is “capable of” while pretending to be something sapient, truthful and wonderful. Coming in a very close second here are all those non-Muslims out there, still one way or another, defending a belief system that matches up well with astrology, palm-reading and tarot cards ( I would additionally include here other convoluted belief systems like Nazism, Marxism, Satanism and Scientology).
Stunning, yes simply stunning, that Islam is any longer paid any respect by anyone. But it is—and thus dispositive of how retrograde mankind can be often times. No better example of this “deficiency” than the 1400 year-long life of Islam. Yeah, no better example over the longest period of time while taking into account as well the “influence factor.” None.
Sorry, got to go, because it’s time for a beer, a Beethoven symphony and a BLT. Hey, talk about an impressive trinity, and one which Muzzies aplenty will miss, but I digress.

Wellington speaks wisely. Muslims contribute nothing to fight illness, but contribute to it while fatalistically and superstitiously declaring illness and death the will of Allah … never thinking that ‘Allah’ might want them to study medicine and cure illnesses through science and prevent the tragedy of Muslim inbreeding.

Muslim cleric: Coronavirus “is one of Almighty Allah’s soldiers…he is unleashing it on those who attack believers”
……………….
Uh huh. No mention of why coronavirus is so rampant in Iran, and that there have been cases in Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Oman, Iraq, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria–and, yes–the “Palestinian Territories” as well..
But then, Muslims being both irrational and vicious is the norm.

Huh? Of course he mentions it. It’s a test for the believers and a punishment for infidels. Covers all bases.
WithPurpleAbandon says
In fact, this so-called cleric (or whatever) makes this quite clear : If muslims get it, then they are considered mushrikun (religious hypocrites) and they have to prove their worth by getting themselves back to the fold.
The man is actually suggesting that afflicted muslims are not real muslims at all, they just pretend. So they can redeem themselves by taking Islam more seriously, otherwise they’ll keep suffering until they die. He doesn’t really make this all too explicit, but he’s actually disavowing “hypocrite” muslims, which is tantamount to expressing takfir.
What he’s suggesting is quite typical of muslim logic.
gravenimage says
Yep.

I always keep in mind that the Muslim god is a liar — and so was Muhammad.
Wellington says
Slight difference with you here, CES, to wit, the Muslim god is not so much a liar as it is fictional.
As for Mohammed, he quite arguably was a liar but, more than this, I think he was delusional—and this is actually worse than being a “mere” liar.
6woods says
Muzzies lie when they say allah is their god. They worship the delusional cross-dressing mo, as evidenced by the frothing drooling masses who riot and murder at any perceived insult of their pervert.

What can you say about this intellectual giant? Talk about having shit for brains. All the hard work all those scientists have done over the centuries trying to comprehend diseases and the other aspects of how the universe works and this brain dead clown comes up with this nonsense. And what PRCS says, up above, about the rapt attention seems accurate, although looking at the men listening, they aren’t going to say it’s garbage he’s spouting, but I think, maybe, a few of them are probably thinking, oh, this is complete rubbish that he’s coming out with. I mean, some in the audience may have a bit of scientific knowledge, some knowledge of biology and how diseases work. Then again, if they go and listen to this guy, probably not.
James Lincoln says
Rightly so, tim.
muslims don’t progress, they regress exponentially with each new generation of first cousin inbreeding..
And they like to keep the conversation moving backwards…
PRCS says
“maybe, a few of them are probably thinking, oh, this is complete rubbish”
But to say that out loud–recalling a long ago Smothers Brothers skit, that’s a no no!
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the witty and accurate comments, James and PRCS. When you think of the utter bullshit that some of these oh, so wise Muslim preachers come out with (and are actually listened to by their brain dead congregations), well words fail me. You couldn’t make some of this stuff up. But I guess it is just as well that many of the Muslims, who are out to take over the whole world, are so moronically stupid, because it probably does mean they won’t succeed in their dastardly goal of conquering the world.
James Lincoln says
Good points, tim.
Imagine if muslims had the IQ – and discipline – of the average German World War II Nazi.
Not to mention engineers like Wernher von Braun, PhD who later spearheaded the rocketry of the US NASA space program.
And we think we are in trouble now…
tim gallagher says
Yes, James, the stupidity of many of the Muslim enemy is something that is in our favour in this long war with islam. Unfortunately, I’m not sure we will win despite this fact. The Muslims have their massive levels of breeding, which, once they are let into our countries, might cause them to build up enough numbers to take over in the long run. And no doubt there are some very intelligent Muslims who, I’m not sure why, are nevertheless on board and working for the Muslim cause. You would think all intelligent Muslims would ditch the backward and barbaric ideology, but I guess many can’t leave or they would be killed by their fellow Muslims.
somehistory says
To be a martyr, means dying for one’s faith. How does this idiot explain dying from this new virus is something done voluntarily, as one dies for not renouncing his faith?
Is it possible for any moslim “believer” to escape dying if infected merely by saying he is no longer moslim? No way. Not today, not tomorrow. moslims have the same risks as do other people of dying, even if they renounce their fake ‘god’ and his fake ‘prophet.’
Stephen, the disciple of Jesus Christ was stoned to death by a mob for being a follower of Jesus, thus making him a martyr. He could have renounced his faith in Jesus, but he chose not to, knowing that death was sure due to his decision.
How do moslims made sick with a virus become martyrs if they die?
And….a huge, gigantic, colossal, giant, stupendous “and”….the fake ‘god’ of islam is not “Almighty.”
The fake ‘god’ of isalm is not **mighty** at all…but a puny demon that only has the power he is allowed to have before he is completely destroyed by Jesus Christ.

Note to those here who cling to the idiotic fantasy that we–the U.S.–can simply ‘ban’ Islam:
1. Islam is an ideology. Like any other religion, it’s in people’s minds.It’s what they believe.
2. And many from among that cleric’s ‘flock’–it appears–actually do believe what he’s peddling.
3. Do you really think our Muslims–each and every one–disagrees with him or that Islam can simply be ‘banned’ from their minds?
Giacomo Latta says
Islam can always be banished. It needs to be placed in the same category as the Mafia, the KKK, biker gangs involved in drug-peddling and assassination and any other group that, via its actions or its official documents, promotes illegal activity. Obviously that means shutting down mosques. Let those believers in Islam leave for parts of the world that care for it.
PRCS says
The Mafia, the KKK, biker gangs, et al have been banished?
It’s people like you to whom my post was directed.
When you’ve figured out how to ‘banish’ Islam from a Muslim’s mind…..
Giacomo Latta says
People believe what they want to believe. How else do you explain Islam, Scientology, Christianity, the Solar Temple, or, if you like, Science. It doesn’t mean the majority of us in a democracy have to put up with it if we choose not to.
PRCS says
People believe what they want to believe.
And you can continue to believe that Islam can be ‘banished’.
Marigold says
Another excellent example which shows quite clearly that Muslims DON’T worship the same god as Christians.This is because Christians believe THEIR God is a loving Father to his children who wants them to be happy.That is why Jesus performed healing miracles during his ministry and preached in the compassionate way He did annoying the Jewish elders by saying if they had seen Him they had seen the Father.
In contrast this iman is using his Islamic vision of a spiteful,vengeful god who has deliberately sent the coronavirus to punish unbelievers and make martyrs of believers to further oppress and subjugate Muslims.
Human tragedies such as pandemics, famines,natural disasters etc happen because of human imperfection and the natural evolution of the world God created. It annoys me when people blame our loving Father in Heaven for everything bad that happens in the world.It is true He OVERSEES everything we do but because He has given humans the gift of a free will and a higher intelligence He trusts humans to work things out for ourselves. That shows how good he is.That is also why history shows Western Christianity accomplished so much good for the world’s people in contrast to Islam.
Good WILL come from this pandemic as good can always be drawn from evil. We see it all the time and that is probably why God ALLOWS evil to exist including heretical beliefs such as Islam.
As St Paul said of false apostles Cor 2ch11′ Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light’ and that is what he would have done when he revealed himself to Mohammed

Fifth attempt:
“If the epidemic harms non-believers, from among the abusers and the aggressors, then that is punishment… ”
“Non-believers,” from “the abusers and the aggressors,…” Projecting again.
Giacomo Latta says
Sort of missing the logic here. So Covid-19 is a test for believers and if they stand the test then they die? This means that those believers who do not die must be non-believers or a sort of defective muslim? Does that include you, unidentified preacher, at least so far? Allah and I are together on this one: you’re full of s***.

We will see what their Allah has in-store for muslim countries when it comes to the Coronavirus, their sanitary systems and life style will not make it easy for them to protect themselves from it.
