Scenes of a Muslim cleric recently emerged where he was seen allegedly spitting into huge vessels containing cooked food, all in the name of Halal. The food was prepared as part of celebrations at a Muslim shrine and was served to the devotees. Reports suggest that this is not the first time that such food was served there and that the attendees have no issues consuming it.
The cleric mentioned above is someone called Fazal Koyamma Thangal Koorath from Ullal in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. It is on the border with Kasargod district of Kerala, and he has a huge following among Kerala Muslims too.
It seems Muslims believe that Thangals are direct descendants of their prophet Mohammed and they have supernatural powers. This Thangal runs 16 schools and colleges, Masjids, Dargahs and claims to have miraculous powers. They also distribute similar food (‘blessed’ by the Thangal) that includes biryani and meat curry to hundreds of attendees.
This comes at a time when local police citing covid protocols have been charging fines of up to Rs.5,000/- from offenders, since March 2020. Ironically no cases were filed against the cleric even after spitting into the food of hundreds. Some apologists have claimed that he ‘blows’ over the food – even then, there is every chance of specks of spit dropping into the food.
Islamists tried to whitewash this evil practice using the usual ‘halal’ excuse and even said that food tastes better when such clerics ‘bless’ it! Almost all hotels, even the ‘pure vegetarian’ ones in Kerala are halal certified, which means that the food is Islamically ‘pure’. What is more, a non-Muslim cannot certify food as Halal. That is all well and good for the ones who believe in such superstitions but what about those from other religious denominations?
Even as a huge public outcry is raging, more such horrible videos of prominent clerics and chefs spitting into food and even water started to emerge from ‘God’s own country.’ One cleric was seen sitting in his car and spitting into people’s hands who then spread the saliva all over their own faces!
Both the police and the administration are yet to take cognizance of the issue and this has led to understandable angst among citizens from all walks of life, especially Hindus and Christians. Why is the political elite silent when it comes to such Islamic superstitions even at the time of a raging pandemic?
I don’t about or have not seen personally any such spitting but I had two very disappointing and somewhat vexatiously shocking (in Telugu కంపరం పుట్టించే) personal experiences in Muslim social functions.
1. Marriage. I attended a Muslim marriage invited by known persons. I found that at no time the bride or her friends were shown to the invitees and only the bridegroom was shown becoming happy when informed that the bride answered ‘Kubool’ (consent) three times in his favour. When I asked my hosts about this serious lapse, they said it is common in their marriages and brides will never be shown to the public – not even after marriage seating them on chairs side by side. I was shocked and then decided that I will never attend any Muslim marriage hereafter.
2. Another was when I was invited to a feast by a Muslim acquaintance. There were heaps of cooked rice on a white cloth and various dishes. When the first instalment in the plate was finished, I wanted some more rice with some other dish, and I was shocked when the hosting persons (one of them) just took one morsel with the hand he was eating from that heap of cooked rice and kept it in my plate. He also said if you want more you just take by your hand. There were no separate spoons for taking those morsels even. They said it was common in their feasts and nothing wrong in taking the rice with one’s eating hand (which we call ఎంగిలి చేయి – literally the hand tainted by one’s own spit)! I was shocked and from then on determined never to go to any Muslim feast.
If this is true.. thn halal food must be banned by Hindus, but sadly people like swara Baskar in the name f freedom of speech make bog issues fr Hindus…
Earlier the peace loving people used to spit in the face of non muslims citing jaziya requirements, now they spit citing Halala requirements; order food from online, they will try to find ways of spitting either in the Hotel or on way through a delivery boy. Order halala mutton, they spit while cutting the lamb. Through Taquiah, they will cheat you and make you eat prohibited food.
Avoid halala certified foods and save your honour, culture and impurities of these bigots. Eat healthy hygienic food and not halala certified food where lot of money is collected to destroy us.
We are doomed due to these black robed bigots.
May the Creator of the Cosmos save us from Jihadis and give us strength to face them with our heads held high.
The ill Literates from the alleged most literate state are defending spitting in the name of blowing. Even if it’s blowing, it’s unhygienic and can spread virus and bacteria
This defies hygine medically.
