My latest in PJ Media:
Many Muslims around the world aren’t worried at all about the coronavirus. While much of the Western world is in quarantine and many fear that the worst is still yet to come, some Muslim clerics and lay believers are sure that Allah will protect them from the plague. As a result, they’re gathering in large numbers, thereby endangering their coreligionists and infidels alike, showing the wisdom of Trump’s travel ban on several countries, including several majority-Muslim countries, that cannot or will not provide adequate information about people wanting to enter the U.S.
Even in countries not affected by the travel ban, dangerous magical thinking prevails, making a case for an expansion of the countries covered by the ban. In Iraq, Shi’ite leader Muqtada al-Sadr declared: “One of the most appalling things that have caused this epidemic is the legalization of same-sex marriage. Hence, I call on all governments to repeal this law immediately and without any hesitation.” In the meantime, hundreds of his followers gathered in a mosque and chanted “coronavirus has terrified you.” What could possibly go wrong?
Hundreds of Muslims also defied quarantine regulations and crowded into mosques in Cameroon; of them, a student named Koulanya Abo, declared: “This is a time people have to go to the mosque and pray ceaselessly. Anything out of that will not be tolerated by Allah, because this is a period where people are facing a lot of difficulties due to the outbreak of the pandemic COVID-19.”
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Yemeni Islamic scholar Ibrahim Al-Ubeidi explained that many of these difficulties people were facing were the fault of, you guessed it, the Jews. He explained that Jews, working with Americans, had cooked up the coronavirus as part of their nefarious plan to seize control of the two holiest sites in Islam, the mosques in Mecca and Medina. This was, he said, all part of the larger scheme to “Judaize” Mecca and Medina that led the Jews to place the House of Saud on the throne of Arabia 100 years ago.
That’s weapons-grade conspiracy paranoia, and it isn’t al-Ubeidi’s alone. In Pakistan, jihad group leader Hafiz Aakif Saeed said that the coronavirus was “the wrath of Allah Almighty, befalling largely on the developed world and their oppressor rulers who had subjected innocent Muslims to persecution and genocide over the last 50 years.” And in Nigeria, a Muslim leader, Sheikh Sani Jingir, claimed that coronavirus was a Western conspiracy designed to prevent Muslims from performing the rites of their religion. Jingir “insisted that coronavirus was not real,” and “said any Muslims who believed in Trump and stopped praying at the Holy Mosque in Mecca should seek for God’s forgiveness.”
There is much more. Read the rest here.

Just when one thinks that these evil fools of the pernicious cult of the paedophilic mass murdering monster could not get worse, it seems they are out to prove me wrong. If I were to witness my friends and colleagues drop like flies and my church leaders were telling me that sitting next to someone waiving their arms and hitting their head on a dirty carpet is going to keep me safe from a decease, I would leave that religion in a flash and yes I know the passages concerning apostacy. These idiots must have their eyes shut or maybe it is the inbreeding.

Both, Ray.
The IQ of muslims in “muslim majority countries” is generally in the low to mid 80s.

Inbreeding causes huge problems including genetic disorders, lower IQ and increased aggression.
The muslim followers are brainwashed by their imams regarding islamic teachings, primarily the koran – effectively closing their eyes to any non-muslim influences.
There are, of course, muslims with average IQs or even somewhat higher – mostly depending upon the country, but they are in the minority.

I like reading reports, the Zoe Report of 2017 discussed the large increases in diseases that Doctors in Germany had not seen in 40 years. Diseases the migrants have, I.e. botulism, chicken pox, cholera, giardiasis, dengue fever, hantavirus, HIV/AIDS, hemmorrhagic fever, leprosy, malaria, shigellosis, typhoid, influenza, typhus, whooping cough, hepatitis B jumped 300% in 3 years, and on and on. the Report suggests this may be the tip of the iceberg and doctors believe the RVI is downplaying the threat in an effort to avoid fuelling anti-immigration sentiments. Drs. Fear the German authorities have lost track of hundreds of migrants with TB. Forty % of TB pathogens are multi-drug resistant.
Their are many reports coming out of Rotherham, staggering numbers of child rapes and grooming by the Muslim men.
Everyone in Canada should read The Quiggin Report- The amount of money funneled by Justine, MPs Freeland, Khalid, Alghabra, Hussein to Islamic causes.
Canadians as well as Americans need to look at the government money going to the Muslim charities, disgraceful.

True, E T.
Back in the 1990s, when I was teaching adult literacy, I had an immigrant student (not Muslim in this case) who had contracted TB–I had urged him to see a doctor since he was feeling poorly–who then blithely returned to school. I strongly suggested he go home until the doctor said it was safe for him to return.
I told the heads of the program, and much to my astonishment they said it was unfair to ask him to stay away! They had *no idea* what TB was or how serious and contagious it could be. I had to marshal a sheaf of articles on the subject and urge them to contact the county hospital for advice before they reluctantly agreed with me.

Muslims who defy the quarantine are only hurting themselves and their own Muslim communities.
People who criticize the travel ban from countries that tolerate Islamic terrorists have not thought through their opinion.
Muslims who believe in Mohammed know he said that no disease is contagious.
ISLAM IS DANGEROUS FOR YOU HEALTH … It contains a MOTHER LODE of wrong information.
James Lincoln says
mortimer says,
“People who criticize the travel ban from countries that tolerate Islamic terrorists have not thought through their opinion.”
That is, obviously true.
But that would require people who criticize the travel ban to think it through using factual, evidence-based logic.
That kind of thinking takes a certain amount of effort and, unfortunately, is in very short supply…

Political Oracle says
Does the Imam know of a cure that we are not aware of? Or, is the Imam displaying the superiority complex that his religion sanctions? We are not seeing this Imam thrown in a hole but seeing Christians being thrown in like never before. Do Imams think that since they are the DEENS of society that they can automatically overrule democratic laws? The Imam that this article references is one of those cases where religion is abused and made extraordinary to the satisfaction of the practicing islamic organization.

“gathering in large numbers” “crowded into mosques” “insisted that coronavirus was not real,”
Hey, maybe there’s something to this Allah thing after all, and he’s finally going to put a stop to all the blood being spilled in his name.

Thank God (or Allah) for No Go Zones. Trouble is, when they do become sick, they will be pouring into Western hospitals by the thousands. Should be turned away and told go home and pray to Allah. But we all know that won’t happen.

Trump’s Travel Ban is Right: Coronavirus Won’t Harm Muslims, Say Many Muslim Clerics
……………….
Yes–a wise move.
paul 316 says
I feel Trump is doing a great job even with the massive opposition he continues to get from the dems. I would like to point out the filth that comes from the face of the sick islam left Ilhan Omar when she commented on what President Trump said about American’s going through a painful and difficult next two weeks, she commented/// Subhanallah! praising her false god allah that Americans were about to suffer. She’s disgusting!

It’s such a wonderful world, finally Muslims have realized that Allah was right and Muslims are invincible and invulnerable just like their prophets who was killed by a puny Jewish woman.

Dems and Communists are a real threat, but they had nothing to do with this disease. The only real link is that Chinese are eating all sorts of meat from odd sources because of the shortages due to the political system there. Apart from that, though, it occurred naturally.
OLD GUY says
Well if you want to believe that islam’s Allah will protect you from C-19 then by all means continue with your daily prayer meetings on the rug of death. But please if Allah fails you stay the hell out of the infidels medical facilities and go to meet your Allah as a true martyr. Who knows you might be one of the lucky muslims to get the 72 virgins before they run out. If you are a female islamic I don’t know what you get, probably the same old mistreatment from the barbaric male dominated islam. Maybe you reconstitute as a virgin over and over again to be raped and beaten by the male martyrs for eternity.
TimothyS says
Many clerics say it, and I think it is wrong on both ends. The virus will kill disposable muslims, but islam is harmed by the travel ban. Cutting off hijra is not what they want.
The readiness to restrict cross-border movement sets a precedent. The same physical actions which restrict epidemiological transmission of RNA can also be applied to restrict memetic rabies – to borrow Churchill’s word.
Two of the upsides of the virus
