'God is with us': Many Muslims in Pakistan flout the coronavirus ban in mosques

[ChinnaBhasha]

"Our prayer leader told us that the virus can't infect us the way it does Western people," Durrani told Reuters. "He said we wash our hands and we wash our face five times a day before we say our prayers, and the infidels don't, so we need not worry. God is with us."

 

A prominent leader of a religious party told a crowd of hundreds of people gathered for a funeral last week that government orders to limit congregations were unacceptable.

 

"If you do this, we will be forced to think that mosques are being deserted on America's instructions," Mufti Kafayatullah told the crowd. "We're ready to give our lives, but not ready to desert our mosques."

 

Last Friday, one of the top Twitter trends in Pakistan was "Muslims, the mosque is calling you".
