Qatari sociologist Abd Al-Zaziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari said in a video he uploaded to his YouTube channel on August 6, 2020 that the August 4 explosion in the Beirut port, which killed 150 people and injured thousands, was caused by the Lebanese people's propensity towards blasphemy, plastic surgery, and sodomy. Al-Ansari said that the Lebanese people utter expletives and curse Allah and Islam. He added that Lebanon is "famous" for "changing Allah's creation" through plastic surgery and for the "prevalence" of sodomy. Al-Ansari then urged the Lebanese people to take to the streets and to use scissors to cut out the tongues of those who curse Allah.
Abd Al-Aziz Khazraj Al-Ansari: "This is a message to our people in Lebanon [in the wake of the Beirut port explosion].
[...]
"You all have attacked the laws decreed by Allah for the world. The number one [reason for the disaster] is blasphemy.
[...]
"Dear brothers, when you go to America, to Britain, to France... When you meet the British or the Americans what do they say to you? 'F*ck! F*ck you! What? Sh*t!' I don't know what else... They curse your mother and if they want more, they say 'Goddammit!' They call on Allah to curse you and stuff like that. But when you go to Lebanon, you hear: 'May your religion be cursed!' 'May your God be cursed!' May your whatever be cursed... They curse Allah! They curse your religion! Everybody curses the religion!
[...]
"You curse Allah and His religion, and you expect Him to give you success?
[...]
"This might be the main reason for the torment you are experiencing.
[...]
"The cursing of Allah has become as prevalent as the drinking water.
[...]
"The second reason is that Lebanon is famous for changing Allah's creation. You want to puff your lips? Augment your breasts? Change your face? Go to Lebanon.
[...]
"In addition, Lebanon is famous for the prevalence of sodomy and the abundance of homosexuals in it.
[...]
"In the Lebanese media they bring people who tell sexual jokes! Cash! Cash! You all saw it and know what I'm talking about. Can anything infuriate Allah more than this?
[...]
"85% of Lebanese girls are not married. What do you think they are doing? Making original models with the boys? Collecting stamps? Most of them are involved in forbidden relationships.
[...]
"Each Lebanese must go out on the street and cut out with scissors the tongue of anyone cursing Allah. You want to get better? Start with that and you shall see how Allah will change your situation for the better."
