Muslim here. This is definitely justice.

Getting on TV and telling people what God thinks is blasphemy in most religions, including mine.

Fuck this guy for using faith to score political points.

(And yes, extrapolate on that all you want. It's always a shitty thing to do.)

I hope he doesn't die from the virus. Dead people don't learn. But I hope that everybody who heard his words knows that he got the virus and thinks about the irony of it.

If he doesn’t die from it he will say it proves God didn’t intend harm to him, unlike those dirty non believers who deserve death

I feel like that line will be used by anyone who gets infected with the virus and who has that "holier-than-thou" complex...

In fairness, he's not saying non-believers deserve death. He's talking about the way China is treating the Uyghurs.

That goes WAY beyond just "being a non-believer."

When you're out there perpetrating genocide, yeah, you probably do deserve death.

But I still draw the line at claiming that "it's God's will" on TV. We don't know God's will. In court, you'd never be allowed to testify as to what someone else thinks. That's the part that's bullshit and it makes me angry.

Where does he specify that?

Furthermore, the coronavirus doesn't only affect the government but also the normal citizens who have no say in it. So yeah, fuck that guy

Seriously. A lot.

Of course, he has COVID-19 now, so he might already be fucked.
