Muslims begin marking a subdued Ramadan under virus closures

Muslims worldwide began Ramadan on Friday with dawn-to-dusk fasting, but many will have to forgo the communal prayers and family gatherings that make the holy month special, as authorities maintain lockdowns aimed at slowing the coronavirus pandemic.

Ramadan is usually a festive season, with the daylong fast followed by lavish meals and evening get-togethers. But this year many are confined to their homes, travel is heavily restricted and public venues like parks, malls and even mosques are shuttered.

Many are also weighed down by anxiety about the pandemic and widespread job losses resulting from the worldwide shutdowns.

“This is too sad to be remembered in history,” said Belm Febriansyah, a resident in the capital of Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation. […]

Muslim-majority countries began imposing widespread restrictions in mid-March, with many cancelling Friday prayers and shuttering holy sites. Saudi Arabia has largely locked down Mecca and Medina and halted the year-round umrah pilgrimage. …

What’s a subdued Ramadan?

One where the bombs are placed 6’ apart for antisocial distancing?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Islam is a worse virus than the Chicom Cooties.

[Skywise]

AP reports that Muslims are a clean and well behaved religion that obeys government oppression.

[Jim W N]

AP writing about their buddies the Islamic jihadists.

Why post this stuff on FR? We all know Muslims have their holy days.

Do we all know that Islam is a dictatorial political system under Sharia Law that runs absolutely counter to the Constitution and should be allowed no legal force or authority in the U.S.?

That’s the stuff we SHOULD be posting about Muslims here on FR.

My take also, AP saying the muzzies aren’t like the irresponsible Christians endangering the public. The a-holes at AP are too stupid to understand their heads would be the first ones chopped off if these savages ever took over.

Sick of seeing A P propaganda on this site. Will not spend much time here in the future.

This: But what about the shrine lickers?

Ramadan is usually a festive season,

A Ramadan Carol
(To the tune of “Deck the Halls”)

Fill the floors with lots of victims
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
'Cause we really need to fix 'em
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Don we now our Muslim head gear
(Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Shoot the bloody kafirs dead here
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Kill the queers with guns and roof drops
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Spill their beers and hear those gun pops
(All-ahu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
’Cause Mohammed said to do it
(Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Watch Obama misconstrue it
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Death to all who doubt our prophet
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Take a bomb to work and drop it
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Rape and sell off all their women
Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Leave the streets with blood a-brimmin’
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Awareness of what manner of propaganda they’re spreading is part of knowing what your enemy is up to. Otherwise, it’s preaching to the choir. (And some people are at least having fun with this.)

Try going over to DU and convincing them to allow posts from CNS News or suchlike.

The bombs also get masks, For the children . . .

and even mosques are shuttered.

Really? And I'm sure this writer complained when the churches were shuttered and a minister arrested. Yeah sure.

Actually, I don't think the mosques should be shuttered, nor the churches.

What’s a subdued Ramadan?

Terror attacks down 50% as Corona Virus strikes muslims?

[I want the USA back]

If they would stop the raping, the murders, setting bombs, burning things down, and yelling “allahu akhbar,” they would be really nice people.

[lurk]

Bombs and knives will be virus tested and carefully sanitized.

[IronJack]

In associated news, beheadings have decreased 20 percent over last year. Acid attacks, machete maulings, and crazed jihadi bombings have also declined.

But their headlines for Christians or Jews would read “Violent rogue Jews gather in illegal defiance of safety measures put into place to protect the united states from deadly pandemic”

[Professional]

Sadly, it’s going to be very hard on Muslims.

Much more complicated, less fun to chant for death to USA, Israel, non muslims in this current situation. They should get a bailout, and have the DNC join them this year so their efforts to destroy civilized society bears fruit.

I’d feed these Muslim animals bat soup.
