Hundreds of Muslims came to the traditional Friday prayer and followed the call of their Imam. The police tried to break up the illegal gathering. Because of the Corona pandemic, there is also a ban on assembly and contact in Germany.

Police and the public order office first tried to organize the meeting in the Berlin district of Neukölln on April 3 in such a way that the prescribed safety distances were observed. When this did not succeed, the event was dissolved in agreement with the Imam.

RBB-Online investigated that the mosque was the Dar-as-Salam mosque observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. As is known from numerous surveys in European countries, orthodox Muslims consider the law and constitution of their new homes to be subordinate to the laws of Islam. The mosque community is one of the largest in Berlin. Before the Corona crisis, around 1,500 people gathered there for prayer every Friday.

This was reported by the police via the short message service “Twitter”. It was still unclear on Saturday morning whether there would be penalties for the Muslims, hundreds of whom ignored the government’s ban on contacting other people. On “Twitter”, many users were annoyed about a suspected unequal treatment. “Were there penalties?! Why not? Or are there penalties only for being German and sitting on a bench?” – Another user suspected that the police should not intervene against the Muslims, as this “was not desired by the left-wing government”.

Although the mainstream media is perfectly ready to target Christians for violating the new social distancing and lockdown rules, they are remarkably quiet about Islam. This is remarkable when one considers European Islam’s nonchalant, even arrogant, response to COVID-19.

Raymond Ibrahim has already written here about the Islamic belief that Muslims are cleaner than infidels and, therefore, immune to disease:

Such is the contention Muslims around the world are triumphantly making.  Thus, the recent article, “Coronavirus – an Islamic Perspective,” opens up as follows:

Allāh has blessed us with a religion that is complete and perfect for all times and places.  Allāh tells us in the Qur’ān:

“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as your religion”

We also have in the Prophet (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam), the best of examples, as Allāh says in the Qur’ān:

“Surely there was a good example for you in the Messenger of Allāh”

Whatever problem or issue a Muslim is facing [the article goes on to talk about coronavirus], he returns back to Allāh and his Messenger for guidance; there is nothing that happens in the life of a Muslim except that his religion has a solution to it.

The idea is that those who follow Allah’s commandments (as captured in the Koran) and the prophet’s example (as captured in the hadith) have a much better chance of evading, say, diseases, than infidels do. 

(There may be one benefit Muslim women have that owes nothing to their “cleanliness.” Those women who are heavily veiled may be wearing the equivalent of a mask, giving them some limited protection. However, unless their burqas have built-in N95 30 micron mesh, ultimately, they’re as much at risk as anyone else.)

In France, the police aren’t even trying to enforce lockdown rules in heavily immigrant (read: Muslim) neighborhoods:

A top government official in France has admitted that draconian lockdown measures being imposed on the rest of the population shouldn’t be implemented in the country’s migrant-heavy ghettos in order to prevent riots.

In a letter leaked to magazine Le Canard Enchaine, French Secretary of State to the Ministry of the Interior Laurent Nunez advises, “It is not a priority to enforce closings in certain neighborhoods and to stop gatherings.”

As the tweet above illustrates, the Muslim-noncompliance problem isn’t limited to France. In Germany, too, Muslims refuse to abide by police instructions to avoid large assemblies:

A video out of Berlin shows Muslim worshippers flagrantly violating Germany’s quarantine law and social distancing rules by congregating outside a mosque as police fail in attempting to disperse them.

The clip shows dozens of Muslims crowded outside the Dar-as-Salam mosque in Berlin’s immigrant-heavy Neukölln district as the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast on a loudspeaker.

Germany has a new lockdown law, but the assembled Muslims do not care, nor do they care when a police officer attempts to get them to comply with the law:

All the lockdowns in the world will not work if people in the most densely populated communities refuse to abide by the law. It will be interesting, in a very unpleasant way, if COVID-19 starts to run rampant through these “migrant” communities.

Reports out of Berlin tell of a German Arctic cruise ship being fired on by a Venezuelan naval vessel, which then rammed the passenger liner, sinking itself in the process.

No, this is not a story that appeared in The Onion.

The Jerusalem Post says that the incident occurred on March 30 and took place in international waters.

The Iranian regime-allied Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro accused the captain of the RCGS  RESOLUTE cruise ship of “terrorism and piracy” and sought to force the ship into a new direction on the high seas. The cruise ship, which had no passengers on board and was sailing under a Portuguese flag, has a reinforced hull that enables it to sail through ice water.

An unarmed passenger ship accused of “terrorism and piracy”? Well, it is the Venezuelan navy.

Columbia Cruise Services continued, stating that “Shortly after mid-night, the cruise vessel was approached by an armed Venezuelan navy vessel, which via radio questioning the intentions of the RCGS RESOLUTE’s presence and gave the order to follow to Puerto Moreno on Isla De Margarita. As the RCGS  RESOLUTE was sailing in international waters at that time, the Master wanted to reconfirm this particular request resulting into a serious deviation from the scheduled vessel’s route with the company DPA.”

According to the statement, “While the Master was in contact with the head office, gun shots were fired and, shortly thereafter, the navy vessel approached the starboard side at speed with an angle of 135° and purposely collided with the RCGS RESOLUTE. The navy vessel continued to ram the starboard bow in an apparent attempt to turn the ship’s head towards Venezuelan territorial waters.”

Should I be laughing? Is it really that funny? Just the image in my head of some hapless Venezuelan captain giving the order to ram a cruise ship again and again makes me giggle.

Isn’t that something of a metaphor for the whole, rotten regime?

The cruise company said the RCGS  RESOLUTE sustained minor damages, not affecting vessel’s seaworthiness, it occurs that the navy vessel suffered severe damages while making contact with the ice-strengthened bulbous bow of the ice-class expedition cruise vessel RCGS  RESOLUTE and started to take water.”There were no deaths among the Venezuelan marines aboard the war ship. The Venezuelan authorities returned the navy personnel to safety.On a more serious note, what is the Venezuelan navy doing attacking any ship, much less an unarmed passenger ship? Perhaps they were practicing for when they take on the U.S. Navy.But then, if they fired on the U.S. Navy, it’s pretty damn likely we’d fire back.

French hospitals recorded their highest death toll in 24 hours from coronavirus on Friday, with 588 new fatalities, France24 reported.

France’s Director General of Health, Jérôme Salomon, announced the figures during a daily press conference, saying a total of 5,091 people had died in French hospitals since the start of the crisis.

An Italian NGO is calling for authorities to issue a mass amnesty for the approximately 700,000 illegal migrants who live in Italy in order to ensure they have access to healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement the 3 Febbraio NGO published earlier this week, it claims that all migrants should be issued residence permits, as “it is an injustice that those who do not have papers are literally trapped. They do not have the right to healthcare, nor can they freely help those close to them”.

Therefore, the NGO calls for “a general amnesty for all the refugees and immigrants currently in Italy”.

The move could be inspired by a similar statement by European Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatovic, who is demanding the release for as many migrants as possible from detention centers across Europe amid coronavirus pandemic.

According to 3 Febbraio, migrants’ standard of living has deteriorated due to the coronavirus crisis.

“Living conditions have grown worse: asylum seekers are stuck and crowded together in centers, many others are exploited in the fields or factories, and others are losing their jobs with no safety net,” the NGO says, calling for dealing with the COVID-19 emergency “together in a humane manner”.

Italy is one of the countries that has been hit the hardest by the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Bloomberg, as of April 3, over 115,000 cases of coronavirus infection have been confirmed in the country, while almost 14,000 patients have succumbed to the disease so far.

No plan for how economically ravaged Italy can pay for migrants’ healthcare needs

Italy has one of the largest migrant populations within Europe, given its geographic location at the southern border of the EU. In 2008, The Boston Globe estimated 670,000 illegal migrants lived in the country while Pew Research estimated up to 700,000 in 2019.

Despite coronavirus sending the Italian economy in free fall, the 3 Febbraio NGO offers no plan for how Italy will pay for the healthcare needs of migrants after granting them amnesty.

Italy already has a drastic shortage in hospital beds and will face, along with the rest of Europe, a long road to economic recovery after the crisis is over.

At the same time, 3 Febbraio NGO’s plan is similar to other NGO plans being pushed in other European countries.

In Great Britain, Migrants’ Rights Network and 50 other so-called charities wrote an open letter calling for the release of illegal migrants in detention and using taxpayers’ money for their housing accommodations during the coronavirus crisis.

An estimated 800,000 to 1.2 million illegal migrants live in Britain but the open letter stated that funds should be directed to migrants to “ensure that everyone, regardless of immigration status, can access self-contained accommodation and self-isolate safely”.

Under the plan, the UK government would book hotels, use empty houses, and turn university dorms into domiciles for illegal migrants.

German NGO Sea-Eye, which is committed to rescuing migrants journeying to Europe on the Mediterranean Sea, is now continuing with its controversial mission despite the global coronavirus pandemic, according to Czech news portal echo24.cz.

The ‘Alan Kurdi’ ship was docked for eight weeks but is now ready to embark on the sea again. Reportedly, the vessel is now equipped for direct contact with people infected with the coronavirus, and the crew is well-trained for such situations. It is currently the only “rescue ship” in the area, the NGO wrote on its website.

On Monday, the Alan Kurdi crew led by German Captain Bärbel Beus received permission from Spanish authorities to leave the local port.

At the end of the week, the ship is expected to reach an area near the Libyan shores, where the NGO ship will begin looking for migrants fleeing Africa. This year, 60 volunteers will participate in the so-called rescue operations.

Most ‘boat migrants’ not genuine refugees

Such missions have actually been accused of leading to more migrant drownings by encouraging more migrants to make the journey based on the belief that they have a good chance of being rescued at sea if something goes wrong.

A 2017 report from Frontex, the EU’s border agency, indicated that smugglers sometimes instruct migrants to call the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Rome in order to initiate rescues missions on the Mediterranean.

In a documentary called “Libya’s Migrant Hell”, journalist Rose Kemp interviewed a smuggler who said the vessels they transport migrants in are simply not seaworthy, and he rarely expects them to make it across the sea to reach Europe.

Still, that does not stop him because “the Italian security are only 13 miles [ca. 21 km] off shore,” he explained.

In an article printed in the Die Welt daily in February, political editor Marcel Leubecher admitted that most of the migrants headed to Europe in boats across the Mediterranean are not genuine refugees, which means they have little chance of having their asylum applications approved.

“Contrary to popular belief, the majority of those arriving in Italy are not refugees. The main countries of origin for boat migrants in January were Algeria, the Ivory Coast, and Bangladesh,” Leubecher wrote.

Consequently, about 95 percent of the asylum applications of migrants from these countries are rejected. Furthermore, the number of Libyans, whose country is going through a long-standing civil war, is only a negligible part of the migrant wave.

Most ships cannot operate due to coronavirus travel restrictions

Chairman of the Sea-Eye NGO Gorden Isler said that the organization, which ships sail under the German flag, aims to save migrants from drowning.

“Even in the ongoing crisis, we rely on the responsibility and courage of Germany. We are in close contact with the authorities,” said Isler.

According to available information, due to the coronavirus crisis, none of the rescue ships were able to operate in the Mediterranean for several weeks, mainly due to restrictions on the movement of people in Europe.

International Organization for Migration (IOM) earlier reported that members of the Libyan Coast Guard prevented several groups of migrants from leaving the continent in recent weeks. However, many more migrants might have managed to leave unnoticed on their journey from Africa to Europe.

If these were ” ethnic Germans”, the police would certainly not be so timid! Shithole!
