Site Supporter fatolive Posted May 14, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2021 Work with a Muslim lad . discussing this with him today, the ethos of “ Gods will” is strong in his family and community when it comes to the vaccine. He said his dad doesn’t fear the virus and if God wishes him to get the virus then that is Gods will , when I asked him about the others his dad might pass it on to, then that would be Gods will too . couldn't answer when I asked is allowing the creation of a vaccine also Gods will , but basically people of that mindset aren’t going to get a vaccine as they are not worried about it and also see it as an affront to Gods will he also said taking it during Ramadan would be an issue for some so the uptake may increase now it’s over . this lads only 25 too and his dad is the same age as me give or take, not like some really old person going off old values who’s come from some sub continent backwards village years ago, his dad was born in Manchester in the 70s its mind boggling.

I can go along with that, it’s their belief and they should be allowed to stick with it. But, if it significantly affects people around them, then they need to wake up to that they don’t live in a small enclosed community.

Yes, a few Muslim mates have said exactly the same re God's will. Quite staggering really in the 21st century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less said the same, but it’s the fact they insist it’s still Gods will whoever gets it , so if the whole country got it, that would be what God wanted and who are they to interfere with what God wants . it is their belief but that’s the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance It'll be a reminder to behave and, if he's got any balls at all, a nudge to people reluctant to get a jab to go and get a fucking jab. Pubs are locked and loaded for Monday, it would have to be a variant that kills people on contact to put another lockdown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Possibly, but its the 'data not dates' thing. I really won't be surpised with localised pausing of re-opening rather than a full lockdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
