We have to take responsibility for our own health. If we trust in the almighty, rather than wearing a face-mask, we increase the likelihood that we’ll become just another covid-related statistic. According to an article I just read, in the Guardian, a Muslim shopkeeper in Blackburn has this to say about his customers.
“They say, ‘but it’s written by the almighty!’ They think if it’s Allah’s will, he will protect them. But I say to them: ‘Allah also gave you a brain’. It’s suicide not taking Covid seriously”. The fatalism promoted by Islam may account - at least in part - for the disproportionately high incidence of infections in some of our northern towns and cities.
Hull, a couple of days ago...
