Virus Outbreak: Muslim leader gets homicide charge for virus surge in India

India has brought charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against the head of a Muslim seminary for holding a gathering last month that authorities said led to a big jump in COVID-19 infections, police said yesterday.

The headquarters of the Tablighi Jamaat group in New Delhi has been sealed and thousands of followers — including some from Indonesia, Malaysia and Bangladesh — have been placed in quarantine after it emerged that they attended meetings there in the middle of last month.

Police initially filed a case against Tablighi Jamaat head Muhammad Saad Kandhalvi for breaching a ban on large gatherings, but have now invoked a law against culpable homicide, a police spokesman said.

Worshipers leave after attending a three-day annual Muslim gathering held by the Tablighi Jamaat group in Raiwind, Pakistan, on March 13.

“New Delhi police had filed a first information report earlier against the Tablighi chief, now section 304 has been added,” the spokesman said, referring to culpable homicide in the Indian criminal code, which carries a punishment of up to 10 years in prison.

Tablighi Jamaat spokesman Mujeeb-ur Rehman declined to comment, saying that the group had not confirmed reports about the new charges.

Tablighi Jamaat is one of the world’s biggest Sunni Muslim proselytizing organizations, with followers in more than 80 countries, promoting a “pure form of Islam.”

Not just here but why don't they apply to Musims in civilized/developed countries around the world?

The answer is fear. Fear mostly that dealing with the Muslim "problem" is just an amorphous pain-in-the-ass politically. So why bother?

We can all be sure that COVID-19 figures reported around the world DO NOT include infections and deaths in the "no-go" areas of Europe and Muslim ghettos everywhere. These areas must be hot-spots of disease and may even lead to a secondary wave of coronavirus contagion and death...ultimately resulting in a period of rightfully deserved discrimination against Muslims.

Bottom line: if Muslims want to live like its 1349 (in the thick of the Black Death, but oblivious to it), they can suffer the consequences (which include being ostracized by those living in 2020).
