We shall see. But the protesters are in a no-lose situation. If no one gets coronavirus, it’s a sign of Allah’s protection of the Muslims. If coronavirus does spread there, it’s because Muslims have sinned, and need to be more pious, and so need to attend more such protests. This is the same kind of cycle that leads to jihad activity: when something goes right in your life, it’s Allah’s blessing, and you need to show your gratitude by doing what Muhammad called the greatest deed Muslims could perform: jihad. And if you’ve sinned, you can try to get back into Allah’s good graces by waging jihad.
“‘Corona Means Quran. God Willing, We Won’t Be Harmed,’ Says Anti-CAA Protester In Lucknow,” Swarajya, March 20 2020:
A woman at an unauthorised anti-citizenship amendment act (CAA) protest in Lucknow’s Ghanta Ghar has told a channel that “Corona has come from the Quran” and the virus won’t harm the protesters….
Her statement is roughly translated as, “…Corona has come from the Quran. Corona means Quran. It came from there. And what is this Corona? Even more deadlier diseases will emerge after this. God willing, we won’t be harmed. It’s for them to fear. We are not scared.”
The woman is part of on ongoing protest in Uttar Pradesh capital, where protesters have refused to move from the site despite imposition of Section 144 in the area due to coronavirus scare….
Incidentally, the protesters in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh too have continued with their protest despite appeals from the police and the public. A PIL now seeks their eviction from the protest site.
