It has now been some time since the coronavirus has been dubbed a pandemic, an imminent threat to human society. All countries and their citizens are coping with the virus as best they can, and trying to defeat it at any cost. To minimise the peril, most countries have imposed a lockdown or restricted the public from venturing out to social gatherings. Most people are adjusting to these measures, as the positive cases around the world are proliferating rapidly. Affluent countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States are working hard to mitigate the efficacy of the virus.
In Asia, fortunately, India is one of the few countries that is coping well with the fear. The strict steps of the government have given India the opportunity to overcome the situation. The government ordered the shutdown of schools and colleges for a month; employees are working from home; and public transportation is being sanitised regularly. Indians are much aware of their incompetent health care system and the scarcity of hospital beds. It was estimated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that there is less than one hospital bed available for every 1000 people in India. So it becomes more necessary for Indians to avoid social gatherings and act according to the situation.
Yet despite all these steps and regular requests of the government to heed sweeping confinement measures, Muslims are defying the lockdown in the name of justice. Alas, they are making the threat worse for humanity.
Indian Muslims have been protesting for the last two months against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which was recently passed by the Indian Parliament. The Act provides citizenship to the persecuted minorities of the neighbouring Muslim nations. This sparked indefensible demonstrations across the country by Indian Muslims, who are enraged that the Act did not include Muslim living in neighboring countries. Many political pundits regard the Act as so completely unacceptable to the Muslims, giving them new cause to show their rage not only over this, but against the Babri Masjid demolition verdict and the abolition of Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. This spurred the violence in the national capital of the Delhi, where Muslims clashed with the Hindus. Many local reports suggest that the illegal occupation of the roads by the Indian Muslims to show their superiority over the Hindus eventually resulted in a deadly riot.
The concept of Muslim brotherhood is prevailing over humanity and national security. A report unveiled by the Youth for Equality, a nation-building organisation, reveals that Pakistan and some Islamic jihadist groups are funding this carnage to push India into a civil war. This organisation has shown the official resolution passed by the Pakistani parliament, describing how to drive India to the wilderness.
The same script which was written in that document is now being performed by these demonstrators. Furthermore, one organiser of these protests, Sharjil Imam, was caught last month by the police for subverting the state. His video went viral for the wrong reasons; in it, he incited Muslims to wage war against Indian sovereignty.
Now, in the time of coronavirus outbreak, they have increased their gatherings on the ground. Thousands of Indian Muslims are creating mayhem and refusing to go home in order to accomplish their ends. Their outlandish actions at the time of this deadly outbreak are plunging India into uncertainty. These demonstrations are simply spoiling the efforts of the government, which are widely supported by the Indian public, to contain the virus.
Besides these demonstrations, Indian Muslims have also refused to close Islamic shrines. Also, many of the clerics are downplaying the fear of the virus to support this unrest, which ends up in sowing confusion and cost lives. Nevertheless, they will find that the pandemic cannot be palmed off as a conspiracy by the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Zee News.
This time, government officials have to decide how to deal with this shambolic jamat (group of Muslims). Political leaders also have to consider how to defeat these insurgents. They are now threatening the Asian continent, as the Islamic State did in the Middle East.

My hardest congratulations and thanks to Jihad Watch for giving more coverage to the nefarious activities of Muslims in India.
Long live Robert Spencer, hale and hearty till 101!
Indian Muslims are a cussed lot, ignorant and backward because that’s how they choose to be. They regard themselves as a state with a state, answerable to no one and enormous and growing nuisance value.
They are relentless complainers and this is the latest and the most dangerous outbreak of their growing confidence in themselves. Only evil and chaos can come of this. The options for the Indian state and Hindus are closing.
Thank you Sir for informing the world.

Muslims rarely contribute to Mankind..
PRCS says
Well, sure they do.
Nothing positive, though.
Peter35 says
Perhaps more than any other people, Indians have cause to know the identity of the over 200 million moslems in their midst—they are the enemy, and unless they are got rid of, will cause disruption, hatred and chaos in India until the country gives in and proclaims itself islamic.
India is just following the rest of the entire western world and doing absolutely nothing to rid itself of the islamic cancer in the country. Only four Eastern European countries and Israel seem to have identified the islamic virus, after 1400 years of interaction with the putrid, murderous cult.
Mural says
There are far too many in India to do anything about them. Even reasonable actions like CAA act are challenged by Muslims with Tacit support of leftist Idiots.
Carol the 1st says
Let’s try to think like Mohammed would if he were alive and a Hindu and in charge of the state called India:
…”Hmmm…these muslims victimize and arouse much hatred in all the places they push themselves into. Solution: Protect India by inviting all the truly victimized and together we will have mutual knowledge, passion and numbers to eliminate these hateful barbarians should they insist upon their attempts to take over our state.”
Sounds like an eminently sane policy to me and deserving of a really good go. I’m sure Moe would credit you with having learned some lessons. Ignore the whiners.
Peter35 says
“There are far too many in India to do anything with them”.
Nonsense. I agree it would be messy, but as I’ve said before, just what is the alternative?
Indians were stupid not to insist that ALL moslems go to Pakistan, and now we have the situation where there are just as many moslems still in India as there are in Pakistan.
(the same could be said about Israel, which still allows moslems to live in Israel despite the fact that as moslems they can NEVER be trusted.
In the 1400 odd years moslems have existed they have invaded about 56 countries (depending on which source you quote) now all 56 countries are islamic—I rest my case.
PRCS says
Yes, Islam is ridiculous and the behavior of Allah’s slaves threatens others.

Ajay says
Please be careful. Dont compare us with muslims. There has been no decision Yet on Ramnavmi mela. After reviewing the situation the Govt will decide later. In all probability, it will be cancelled. We are well aware of our respinsibilities for thousands of years and will continue with that.
PRCS says
Pleas READ carefully.
“people expected to attend”
The article wasn’t about ALL Hindus.
Mural says
And, you are comparing the behavior of what Muslims are doing today with what Hindus are expected to do on 25th March?
Your logical skills are awesome. Work on it before you call others, ‘ Idiot’.
PRCS says
I’m comparing the behavior of two groups of idiots.
Try to improve your reading comprehension skills.
Mural says
These Hindu ‘Idiots’ have never protested against any subsidies given to Muslims who seem to live on mooching off from every country that they live in.
This website, lest you forgot, is about the idiots in Islam. You seem to go out of your way everyday to find articles that tend to ‘balance’ the content posted here. Reminds me of the behavior of idiotic leftists in India.
PRCS says
Tell that to the Christians who proselytize ‘the one true faith’ here at J.I.H.A.D.W.A.T.C.H.
Mural says
You are comparing the behavior of two groups of people in an illogical way. Your Hindu-phobic bias is seeping through. Udemy has a good course on logical thinking. I will pay for the course and give it to you a gift . You need it. ASAP.
Mural says
Your reply is nonsensical.
I have already suggested a good course for you on logical thinking. Please take me up on this offer. It is for your own good.
PRCS says
Re: logical thinking. You should try it, instead of making excuses.
Both groups (Muslim who MAY want to infect the kuffar, and a million Hindus who INTENDED to place their religious beliefs above the potentially catastrophic impact on their fellow Hindus-[and others]} are idiots.
Amar says
This event is already canceled. Don’t trust msm who love to show any group other than Muslims in bad light.
PRCS says
Good. The consequences of it having gone forward could have includes a another unnecessary spread of the virus: amongst both the participants and others:
And a link, please.
A significance of a million people in that environment is nothing to sneeze at.

MSM probably considers that the “balanced” coverage the PRCS so craves!
Dawne Swift says
The event will be cancelled by the government and people will not attend. This is very different to the Muslim response to government orders in openly defying them in the name of Islam.
PRCS says
Per the artcle, they INTENDED to proceed. Glad the government intervened.
Mural says
You are an idiot of the highest order. Two other posters also pointed out the lunancy in your posts. I am afraid you are beyond redemption. That makes you eligible to join Islam or the left parties.
PRCS says
“Per the aritcle, they INTENDED to proceed. Glad the government intervened.”
Stop defending the indefensible.

Well written Sharma sir. In fact I was going to request Jihad Watch to write on this issue.
Is this a new form of जिहाद where muslims are thinking of destroying themselves and the nation too ? Well they have suicide bombers ready to be blown apart while killing others in the process so why not a Corona Jihad ?
Mural says
+1. I expect the learned ‘scholars’ of Islam to give directions on how to wage jihad using this virus soon..

India’s Citizenship Amendment Act, the coronavirus, and Muslim defiance

Muslims are still fine with rioting in the streets.
Ajay says
Ooh yes. ?
Amar says
Muslims are going to trust Allah to protect them, get themselves infected and then overload hospitals. If they don’t want to follow quarantine, they should stick to Allah till the end. But this is predictable, they will riot in hospitals when some Muslim gets triaged out of ventilator access.
PRCS says
Had that large event have gone forward, there’s no logical reason to believe hospitals would not also have been overloaded as a result
Carol the 1st says
So I guess you think people of humbler faiths would be dismissing their stupidity and rioting at that point also?

You guess wrong.

Prcs that festival was cancelled get a grip r at least research the latest. By the way the sickening thing is Indian leftist media interviews them and praises their valour for protesting even amidst a pandemic crisis. Wow just wow. I feel like puking
PRCS says
Get a grip.
And think logically.
Had that event gone forward, it too would have been to disregard concerns about the virus.
Stop making excuses.

Ifs and buts but the event was canceled be cos people have understood the seriousness of the issue so y u suggest me to imagine a event that didnt happen I guess u r from the religion of peace . Only those can b such dotards

By the way what I was talking about the leftist media interviewing protesting Muslims in Delhi praising their valour and sacrifice amidst the pandemic threat. Sorry my sentence came out wrong

What excuses would you have come up with if it hadn’t been cancelled?

Muslims know the odds. A thousand here and a thousand there and life and the drama goes on and the mullahs still have a oodles to rant about and good grip on minds, hearts, and pocketbooks. Maybe we should seek to find them legitimate jobs?

Damn these foolish Muslims! Can’t they stay at home peacefully?

Chand, with your predilection towards Islam, I suggest you give cow urine a miss and head straight to Camel Urine. Even that might not cure your Hindu-phobia but I heard most readers of Scroll prefer Camel Urine.

Knowing Chand’s posting history here, I’m sure he *much* prefers camel urine…

I’m impressed Chand. These simple Hindus are attached to their myths and practices but they’re trying to channel it into something “good” e.g. fighting some force that kills, harms, and robs them of their loved ones. That’s the spirit Hindu boys and girls! (but continue being nice and stay in your own neck of the woods if you can).
Jitendra Desai says
Behaviour of Indian Muslims in these times of pandemic is anti national.Instead of supporting govt efforts on social distancing they are gathering in even larger nos for prayers and protests.It is as if they want to invite this virus, carry it and spread it to kill kafirs!
Carol the 1st says
The more CHAOS, the merrier. They are fools.

This virus is a God-sent to Narendra Modi (and to many other leaders of the world) as all protest agendas will be totally swamped by corona virus issues.

Actually, Muslims are still rioting in the street enraged over India saying they will give citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and other persecuted Infidels in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan–despite one of the main instigators just having tested positive for the Coronavirus..
Plainspeaker says
The disinformation and misconceptions about CAA in the West are just unbelievable. The persecutor and the persecuted cannot be equated. CAA only provides safe haven to religious minorities persecuted, living in constant dread and uncertainty, their daughters routinely kidnapped and converted and married off to much older men in the Islamic Republics of Af-Pak-B’Desh . A Muslim in these countries can still apply for Indian citizenship through normal process.
And the Indian establishment has an unenviable history of powerlessness in dealing with Islamic militants, ably assisted by a phalanx of left-lib sympathizers and human right activists, so much so the Government could not even prevent Islamic maniacs driving Pundits from Kashmir, their home for thousands of years, clearly predating the Islamic occupation of Kashmir. The occupation of a key arterial road in Delhi is clearly illegal, admitted so by the Supreme Court, but no one can establish the rule of law. Muslims, not just in India but all over the world, demand and get exceptional treatment.
PRCS says
Jihadwatch has accurately addressed the issue several times.
