More enlightened thinking from the religion of peace.
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
Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik | Mar 9, 2020
- “The true meaning of the epidemics is a… trial for the believers and a punishment for the sinners”
- “If [believers]… place their trust in Allah, then they will receive an enormous reward, and whoever dies in the epidemic [among the believers] merits the reward of Martyrdom”
- “Corruption has never appeared among any people without mass death reaching them”
- The PA Ministry of Religious Affairs is responsible for appointing Imams in the mosques in the PA
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.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Feb. 29, 2020]
The following are longer excerpts of the sermon and the report on the appointment of Imams by the PA Ministry of Religious Affairs:
“The [PA] Ministry of Religious Affairs yesterday, Friday [Feb. 28, 2020], inaugurated the Al-Nour Mosque in the village of Shuqba west of Ramallah, which was built with donated money.
Present at the inauguration were [PA] Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Husam Abu Al-Rub, Director-General of Religious Affairs in Ramallah and El-Bireh Sheikh Wafiq Alawi, Director-General of Mosques Sheikh Hassan Shehadeh, and Deputy District Governor of Ramallah and El-Bireh Hamdan Barghouti…
Abu Al-Rub announced the appointment of the mosque’s Imam and preacher, and 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.
He also ordered that based on the leadership’s instructions and on the orders of [PA] Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh, they have begun to fill the shortage in the mosques by providing 500 salaried religious positions to give the sermons and lead the prayers in the central and secondary mosques throughout the homeland’s districts.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Feb. 29, 2020]
Unidentified preacher: “Dear Muslims, 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. A trial for the believers and a punishment for the sinners, the aggressors, the arrogant, those acting strongly, and those oppressing the Muslims. And if it has harmed the believers who are upholding the words of Supreme Allah, then that is a trial. 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, Almighty Allah willing…
Prophet [Muhammad], Allah’s blessing be upon him, said: ‘The epidemic is Martyrdom for every Muslim.’ … And if the epidemic harms non-believers, from among the abusers and the aggressors, then that is punishment. For Almighty Allah has announced that the tests, difficulties, and disasters that befall the believers are ‘for what your hands have earned’ [Quran, Sura 42:30, Sahih International translation]. Allah said: ‘And whatever strikes you of disaster – it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much’ [Ibid.]. And this [Corona] virus is one of Almighty Allah’s soldiers, and He is unleashing it on those who attack His believers…
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, the likes of which had not been among their forefathers.’ And Ibn Abbas (an uncle of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad–Ed.) said: ‘Corruption has never appeared among any people without mass death reaching them.’ And corruption is abuse, and what abuse is greater than attacking a Muslim because he is a Muslim? Dear Muslims, this event is a sign that should be paid attention to…
Dear Muslims, the epidemic and the transfer of the disease from sick people to healthy people is a scientific fact. It is a known matter among the Muslim scholars, and has a source in religion. Prophet [Muhammad] said: ‘Flee the leper as you would flee the lion.’ And this is a reliable Hadith (sayings and practices attributed to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad –Ed.) that Imam Al-Bukhari related.”

Well I never did, who ever would have thought another such pearl of wisdom would sit so prettily on the lips of one so young as him.
If he were to go and bang his silly head into the ground a few more times perhaps allah might show him where the edge of the world is so the twerp can fling himself off doing everyone a favour.

China is still lying too. What Iran and China have in common is they could care less about their people.
Despite extreme, draconian quarantine measures, the coronavirus remains completely out of control in Wuhan, China
March 8, 2020 – 10:45.
By Ethan Huff
…
Local officials in Wuhan say that the outbreak isn’t under control, despite shutdowns of transportation, education, and recreation. Nearly every effort to reign in the spread of this novel disease has thus far come up short, they say, which means the situation is likely to get much worse before it gets better.
At the current time, only one resident from every Wuhan household is being allowed to leave his or her dwelling place, and only once every three days specifically to buy groceries or other necessary supplies. And still this isn’t enough to stop the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19), which is pushing authorities to implement even more serious measures.
…
About 47,000 people, or more than half of the confirmed cases in the entirety of China, have been recorded in Wuhan. And many experts believe that the true infection count is substantially higher even than this, making the situation even more ominous.

They lie to cut their financial losses and keep business confidence. Many companies are already moving out of China. They don’t want more doing that and Trumps tarffs are hurting them. This is also highlighting the global just in time supply chain doesn’t work! A country needs critical manufacturing in their own country.

Wuhan has 7 crematoruims in the city + 40 imported since the numbers dying were too high for the crems to cope with, + they are all doing 100 a day each, for over 2 mths, = 324,000 dead in WUh an alone.

ANALYSIS: Iran’s Corona Disaster
Iran attempting to hide the disaster it faces as the COVID-19 Virus spreads out of control within the Islamic Republic.
By Yochanan Visser, 05/03/20 22:56
…
If we take a look at information coming from non-government sources inside and outside Iran we will understand Rouhani’s words were an understatement.
First of all, Iranian lawmakers such as Abdul Karim Hosseinzadeh revealed that in the holy Shiite city of Qom and Rasht another Iranian city the situation is so bad that streets are full of dead bodies.
“Corpses in Qom are piling up,” Hosseinzadeh wrote on his Twitter account.
The Iranian MP warned that if the regime doesn’t take appropriate action such as quarantining cities Iran will have the highest death toll in the world.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) refuses to seal off Qom, however, because of its holiness to Shiite Muslims so people are advised not to kiss the holy shrine in the city.
In Tehran the situation is not much better and experts warn that by the end of the Iranian month of Esfand (22 March) a staggering 40 percent of the population will be infected with the virus.
“We’re estimating 30 to 40 percent of Tehran’s (12 million people strong) population will be infected with COVID-19 by March 22,” Dr. Massoud Mardani, a member of Iran’s National Influenza Committee said this week.
The Iranian opposition confirms that the number of people infected by the virus is much higher than the official data released by the Mullah’s.
MEK, the People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran announced on Wednesday that already 1.300 Iranians had died after being infected with the virus.
Among the people who died are several regime officials and a close aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who still claims that Iran will easily overcome the disaster.
Twenty three members of the Majlis, the Iranian parliament, are, furthermore among the infected people.
Iran’s female vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar was confirmed infected by Corona one day after a Cabinet meeting which was presided by Rouhani.
Another high-ranking government official who died of COVID-19 is Mohammad Haj Abolghasemi, nicknamed “the Butcher”, a commander of the hated Basij militia of the IRGC that violently suppressed the recent popular uprising against Khamenei’s regime.
Iran’s overcrowded prisons have become Corona hotbeds and for this reason, the regime decided to temporarily release 54.000 inmates with sentences below five years who did test negative for the virus before getting released after posting bail.

If corpses are actually starting to be “left in the streets” then a whole host of pestilential complications will soon be complicating the situation for them.
If we get very lucky, the combination of their Blood Cult Driven Zealotry and poor sanitation habits will wipe out enough of them to make Iran an easy target for military takeover by one of the other Blood Cult Regimes in the region.

ACTUALLY, since Muslims do not wash their hands or practice good cleansing habits, IT MAY BE GOD’S WAY OF ELIMINATING A FEW OF YOU MUSLIM PEOPLE since your ALLAH is SATAN and our GOD is the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE.
Me knows GOD WILL WIN and ALLAH WILL NOT.

IAEA Demands Iran ‘Immediately’ Provide Access To Suspected Nuclear Sites
https://www.rferl.org/a/iaea-demands-iran-immediately-provide-access-to-suspected-nuclear-sites/30478213.html
The head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog has demanded that Iran stop blocking its investigation into three possible nuclear sites.
Speaking in Vienna on March 9, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi told the nuclear watchdog’s governing board that Iran should “cooperate immediately and fully with the agency.”
Grossi said Tehran’s cooperation should include “providing prompt access to the locations specified” by the IAEA.
– note to Iran: This is a bad time to get bombed.
