When Islamic apologetics can get people killed.
“Cropped Aaj Tak Video Used To Spread Misinformation On Coronavirus,” by Saket Tiwari, BOOM, March 9, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A video claiming Hindi news channel Aaj Tak reported that China’s prime minister said reading the Quran and offering Namaaz can help prevent the Coronavirus, is false.
The viral clip has been culled from a longer video which fact-checked false claims surrounding the deadly disease.
The Hindi caption accompanying the 28-second clip reads: ‘Chinese prime minister has ordered to open locks of all mosques and to recite Quran and Namaaz. Only the Quran has the cure for Coronavirus. Undoubtedly.’ (In Hindi: चीन के प्रधानमंत्री ने सारे मस्जिदों के ताला खोलने व नमाज़ व कूरान पढ़ने का आदेश जारी किया. कोरोना वायरस का इलाज सिर्फ कुरान में है.beshak)
BOOM found that the clip begins and ends abruptly and has been created by splicing together separate parts of the voiceover to make up a false narrative….
