Here again we see that the frequently enunciated Islamic critique of the West as a sinkhole of vice and immorality, compared to the purity and uprightness of Sharia states, is not based on genuine virtue, but upon force. The residents of Mangochi, or at least some of them — those who were going to buy this beer — don’t abstain from alcohol because they’re virtuous and want to please Allah. They abstain because there is no alcohol to buy, it has all been destroyed by this rampaging mob, stirred up in Friday prayers. They aren’t good, if that is good, by choice; they’re good because they have no choice.
“Muslims go on rampage in Mangochi, destroy beer places,” Nyasa Times, October 25, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Some Muslims on Friday went on rampage after prayers, destroying liquor shops and other places that sell beer at Mangochi boma.
In several video clips that are circulating in various social media platforms, the Muslims, most of them in their religious robes and caps, could be seen stoning the beer places.
They can be heard saying they do not want beer in Mangochi, saying it is Malawi’s Mecca, in reference to the Muslim holy city of Saudi Arabia.
They also pulled down billboards and signposts with beer advertisements.
Calm has returned after the police managed to disperse the mostly youthful Muslims who were armed with stones….</blockquote
