Are Muslims Immune to Coronavirus?
American Thinker.com ^ | March 21, 2020 | Raymond Ibrahim

Posted on 03/21/2020 9:59:59 AM PDT by Kaslin

The Islamic world is not suffering from COVID-19 the way non-Muslim nations are, because Islam naturally makes Muslims "cleaner" than infidels.

Such is the contention Muslims around the world are triumphantly making. Thus, the recent article, "Coronavirus – an Islamic Perspective," opens up as follows:

Allāh has blessed us with a religion that is complete and perfect for all times and places. Allāh tells us in the Qur'ān:

"This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as your religion"

We also have in the Prophet (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam), the best of examples, as Allāh says in the Qur'ān:

"Surely there was a good example for you in the Messenger of Allāh"

Whatever problem or issue a Muslim is facing [the article goes on to talk about coronavirus], he returns back to Allāh and his Messenger for guidance; there is nothing that happens in the life of a Muslim except that his religion has a solution to it.

Moronic article.
1) see Iran.
2) not a lot of tourists heading into Islamic hellholes.
So stupid.

So why’d they shut down Mecca?

What it means is that Muslims are on average poorer and thus do not have discretionary money to travel much. Since no one is really tracking the affects of the virus by religion, there is no solid data to either confirm or deny these claims. Except when it comes to Iran. In that country we can see that the Muslim religion is not protected.

For all we know there are cases throughout Europe involving Muslims, as well as, other countries where Muslims live.

Just had a party of 10 last night from Georgia that I drove from the airport, the former Soviet republic, and now independent republic. They worked for the Peace Corps. They couldn’t understand the hysteria here.

They said cornavirus was not a big deal there.

He may have a point to a degree. More like Arabs not getting it.

Iranians are dying in drovers but they are Persian, not Arabs.
Most of the people wo are getting it and dying in Muslim countries are nationals from other countries.

Africans and people from India are not getting it either in great numbers. Though as Tucker said Africa has been using Cloraquine for years so maybe they have a immunity to the Chinese virus

Nonsense, Islam is nothing but a fairy tale started by an epileptic thief, rapist, murderer, and child abuser for his own pleasure and evil lifestyle. That “holy” book called the koran is a hodgepodge of unintelligible gibberish, exactly what one would expect after Mahomet came out of his epileptic seizures to recite another surrah.

“No. See Iran.”

They’re the wrong Muslims.

As far as I know, the virus can’t jump between humans and goats or camels. So they might be right!

Ask the Iranians. If you want to get close enough to one of them to get an answer.

That is odd. I was in Morocco a year and a half ago and at least then the King was Muslim. He has tested positive for covid-19.

In Iran a large part of the ruling elite legislature has tested positive to covid-19. I was sure that Iran was a Muslim country.

If the King and the elected/appointed ruling elite can get it, I really don't think that Muslim countries will be spared. It could be they are more dictatorial and less likely to report outbreaks, but not less likely to get infected.

I wasn’t aware that the statistics split people up by religion and race along with age and sex.
