Muslims deny aid to Christians and ‘infidels’ during COVID-19

American Thinker – Crises often have a way of revealing people’s true natures.  Here in America, for instance, doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals have stepped above and beyond the call of duty in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  So too have charities, churches, and other religious organizations, many of which have volunteered their premises as coronavirus testing or medical centers, distributed food and medical supplies to the needy, etc.

Needless to say, none of them is discriminating based on race or religion; all are aiding anyone and everyone in need.

Then there’s the Muslim world.  There, COVID-19 is revealing the true nature of Islam. 

Enter zakat, which is often — but erroneously — translated as “charity.”  As with virtually everything else Islamic, it too discriminates, sees only in dichotomies, namely “us” (Muslims) and “them” (infidels).

As usual, Pakistan — so named to mean the “land of the pure [i.e., Muslims]” — offers ample precedents.  According to a March 30 report:

A Karachi NGO has denied food aid to poor Hindus and Christians, who like Muslims are suffering from coronavirus[.] … The Saylani Welfare International Trust has been operating in the Korangi area since 1999, handing out aid and meals to homeless people and seasonal workers.  Two days ago, the welfare organisation refused to give ration cards to non-Muslims, saying that only Muslims are entitled to them.  The reason for this is that Zakat, Islamic alms giving (one of Islam’s five pillars), is reserved for Muslims.  The Christian man said he begged for food to no avail.  Farooq Masih, a 54-year-old Christian in Korangi, said that last Saturday, Abid Qadri, a member of Saylani Welfare, with other NGO members, handed out food cards in his area.  But, when they got to Christian homes, they just moved on.

But perhaps the Saylani Welfare International Trust is behaving aberrantly, “radically”?  More recent reports suggest otherwise: “A few days back there was an announcement made through a mosque’s loud speaker in the Sher-Shah neighborhood of Lahore inviting citizens to collect the government’s announced foodstuffs,” a pastor from Lahore explained.  “When Christians reached the distribution point and presented their national identity cards, they were asked by staffers to get out of the line claiming the foodstuff was only for Muslim citizens.”  This same pastor received numerous phone calls from his flock, all of whom experienced the same denial.  “Christians often face religious hatred and discrimination,” another Christian woman, aged 50, said of her experience.  “However, we never thought of this biased behavior by the majority people at this critical time of COVID-19.” more here

  1. And this is news?

    These are the same folks that strap bombs on children and send them into pizza parlours. They call them a gift from allah.

    AAnd you gotta love their new craze, plowing cars and trucks into people at bus stops and on the sidewalk.

    Of course the random stabbings are always a nice back up.

    Fuck these assholes, why in the world we allow them to emigrate here is a mystery.

  2. The one thing we should learn from this debacle is the need to remove as many Chinese and Muslims as possible from our borders. They are not here to be our friends.

  3. Why does everyone assign and assume Christian ethics to godless chinese and morally depraved muslims?
    Things like this should come as absolutely no surprise.
    Folks, they just ain’t got no ethics, and you’re a fool if you think they’re in any way motivated by any such thing.

  4. Expect no more from them. They serve a different god.
    They hate Christians, so they, by that very nature refute
    the idea of Chritian Charity to all.
    I think of them as kind of being like the Big Banks.

  5. The pigs of jizzlam want to do this
    ergo
    ALL humanitarian aid of any kind
    including food should be
    FOREVER
    denied to any any country that declares
    Jizzlam as its religion.

    After 1400 years
    the pigs must learn a lesson.
