The jihad proceeds along two tracks. One is violent, as you can see from this story. The other is non-violent. It attempts to compel non-Muslims to comply with Sharia provisions, piece by piece, bit by bit, until that compliance is full. That side of the jihad you can see at the other daily-updated page of this site, Dhimmi Watch, which is full of amazing stories today.
Philippine Jihad Update: "Seven killed in ambush by Philippine Muslim rebels," from AFP, August 17 (thanks to JE):
MARAWI, Philippines (AFP) - Four soldiers and three pro-government militiamen were killed in an ambush by Muslim separatist rebels in the southern Philippines Sunday, the military said.Eight soldiers and three militiamen were also wounded in the attack near the town of Malundo in Lanao del Sur province, the military said.
The casualties were being airlifted to the nearest military base, and troop reinforcements had been sent to the area to hunt the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels who carried out the attack, the military said.
The ambush came four days after government forces, using heavy artillery and air support, dislodged MILF rebels from some 22 villages they had occupied last week.
More than 200 houses were burned by the rebels and numerous farm animals and equipment stolen when the MILF occupied the area, leaving unexploded bombs behind as they fled, the military said.
About 160,000 people were displaced from their homes, and the fighting left nearly 30 MILF rebels, six civilians and two soldiers dead....
"More than 200 houses were burned by the rebels and numerous farm animals and equipment stolen when the MILF occupied the area, leaving unexploded bombs behind as they fled, the military said."
Will one of "the majority of non-violent Muslims" please explain:
- how this group is supported by even a single Muslim
- why people who behave as they do are even allowed to enter a mosque
- What are the "peaceful and positive aspects" of jihad and where are they on display in the Philippines?
Wherever they go, muslims leave death, destruction, devastation and desolation in their wake.
"More than 200 houses were burned by the rebels and numerous farm animals and equipment stolen when the MILF occupied the area, leaving unexploded bombs behind as they fled, the military said."
Is is time to go out and find the houses and equipment of the rebels and level them...and if the rebels decide to fight...get rid of them too..
They need to do a General Sherman attack on the islamic rebel held area. and take out all mosques, otherwise no one will be safe.
did you know this. they killed a 9 year old boy just this morning and chopped him to bits. this was near iligan city. they also cut off the ears of an elder. very awful. this is not about religion, this is about terrorism. how can i respect a religion that approves these methods to get what they want. i lived in mindanao most of my life and just recently came to metro manila to work. i know them. they are evil. my family is now in iligan city and 45 minutes away from those assholes. i get most real news from them because the media has not even begun to describe what is really happening there. oh yeah, they also massacred a bus full of civilians from zamboanga bound for cagayan de oro yesterday. pure disgusting evil to massacre innocent people and to chop children to pieces.
alexis
what can I say? My prayers are with you. May the Jihad be defeated!!
I am hoping that my country (Australia) will wake up and start helping its non-Muslim neighbours to fight off the jihad.
In the meantime, maybe you and other Filipino Catholics will find this story a source of inspiration.
It is a description of the courage of the Knights of St John of Malta and how they withstood a Turkish Muslim fleet.
