Philippines: 17 dead as Islamic jihadists battle soldiers

Jun 19, 2014 3:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Abu SayyafThis is “one of the bloodiest clashes in the southern Philippines in recent months” — Islamic jihadists worldwide are emboldened by the success of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and by the weakness (and often outright support) that Barack Obama has given to Islamic supremacists and jihadists worldwide. They know that if they kill enough non-Muslims, they will get what they want. Why, at this point, would they not think that?

“17 Killed in Philippines Clash With Muslim Extremists,” Outlook, June 19, 2014:

Ten Muslim extremists and seven soldiers were killed today in one of the bloodiest clashes in the southern Philippines in recent months, the military said.

Soldiers were approaching a known hotbed of the militant Abu Sayyaf group on the strife-torn island of Jolo when the fighting broke out, military statements said.

The Abu Sayyaf initially fired on the soldiers, killing an officer. Ten minutes later, six more soldiers were killed and many others wounded when the Abu Sayyaf fired mortar shells at them, the statement added.

The fighting left 10 Abu Sayyaf fighters dead, although only one body was recovered, and 24 soldiers wounded, the military said.

“The remaining troops are still in the area of operations while the casualties were evacuated,” the statement said.

The attack comes after the Abu Sayyaf suffered a series of setbacks including the capture in Manila last week of one of its leaders, Khair Mundos, who is on the US government’s list of “most wanted” terror suspects.

Days later, two of his followers were also arrested. The military would not say why the troops were in the rural town of Patikul, a known Abu Sayyaf hotbed, about 945 kilometres south of Manila.

The US military has had about 500 troops rotating through the southern Philippines since 2002 to train Filipino soldiers how to combat the militants. Many Abu Sayyaf leaders have been captured or killed, but it continues to pose a threat in the south, kidnapping people and carrying out bomb attacks.

The militants are able to draw support from local Muslim communities who feel they have been persecuted for centuries by Christian rulers in Manila. They also get money for weapons from their successful kidnap-for-ransom ventures.

The group, founded in the 1990s with seed money from Osama bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda network, is blamed for the worst terrorist attacks in the Philippines’ recent history.

This includes the 2004 bombing of a ferry that left more than 100 dead. Several hostages are still believed to be held by the Abu Sayyaf in the jungles of Jolo.

    “The militants are able to draw support from local Muslim communities”. These are your moderates and exactly why we need to stop Muslims from immigrating to western countries. They call them radicals but they wouldn’t amount to anything without the support of the so called moderates.

      That’s EXACTLY the point. All these “peaceful” “moderate” Muslims that give financial and moral support to Jihadists, hide and protect them in their communities, are just as much blood soaked Jihadists as the Muslims pulling the trigger on a gun or blowing up women and children on trains.
      As someone once posted—Jihadist Muslims are the ones chopping your head off, while the “peaceful” “moderate ” Muslims are holding your feet down for them to make it possible.

      this is a different terrorist group. There are a few in southern Philippines. This group is situated around the island of jolo (part of the southwestern island chain in the sulu sea). At any given time, there is always a terror group in conflict with the government. It seems as if peace is temporary and only utilised for rest, refit and recovery by terrorists. When they have had enough peace, they simply jump back into the fray and tag other terror group(s) out for a rest (with a signed peace deal).

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Jun 20, 2014 at 8:12 am

        You wrote – “It seems as if peace is temporary and only utilised for rest, refit and recovery by terrorists”.

        Precisely.

        Hudna.

        You *do* know about the Treaty of Hudaybiyya? And the whole prescription for mohammedan “treaty”/ truce-treaty with infidels? They’re not supposed to make agreements/ make “peace” unless they need a timeout to regroup and rearm. No “hudna” is supposed to last longer than ten years. As soon as they feel strong enough to have another go, they are supposed to break the treaty/ “truce”/ agreement and go right back in for the kill.

        In 1400 years, Infidel entities on three different continents don’t seem to have properly figured this out – namely, that any sort of agreement with mohammedans is written on toilet paper in disappearing ink.

        The first Infidel entity – and army – that draws the logical conclusion: that when defending oneself against mohammedans one must be prepared to hammer away at them unrelentingly, and that if ever the mohammedans you happen to be fighting sue for “peace” or “talks” or “truce” or propose a “treaty”, *that* (unless you yourself could do with a bit of a timeout *also*) is precisely the time when you should…go right in and hit HARDER.

          Here’s the rest of it. The first infidel entity – and army – that figures this out (*never* let up and, if the mohammedans call for peace, then if you possibly can, if you can muster up the energy and the will, go right back in at ’em and HIT HARDER) – is going to find that they actually start making headway.

          In another blatant case of turnspeak, Voldemort’s army forget to mention that it was America, when it has signed the Bates Treaty with the Moros, blatantly violated the treaty in 1904 and unilaterally began a war of aggression against the Moros, massacring Moro civilians at incidents like Bud Dajo, and illegally annexed their land into the Philippine Commonwealth.

          Typical colonialist behavior- violate Treaties with the natives and then use turnspeak, falsely accuse native of breaking treaty, and invade and then massacre natives. And then ship millions of colonial settlers onto native land.

          Filipino Christian militants like the Ilagas are terrorists just like Abu Sayyaf terrorists. They eat people’s brains and massacre women and children.

      I dare voldemort’s army to name a single non-Arab Muslim country which has Arabic as its official language.

      I dare Voldemort’s Army to explain why the Moro Muslims preserve Hindu-Buddhist concepts and words like Agama, Karma, and others, while Christian Filipinos preserve almost none (hint, it has to do with something called the Spanish and colonialism, and their detest and hatred for non-European cultures).

      I dare Voldemort’s army to tell me what happened to the natives of Siberia when the Russians came there as she claimed-Orthodox Christianity is “traditional” to the region.

      I dare Voldemort’s army to explain why the Qur’an has been translated into multitudes of languages and why Islamic texts are also written in Persian, Chinese, Malay, and many other languages.

        Da’wa, for the most part. Mohammedans like to supplement their conversions at sword point with occasional varied methods.

        Besides, the implication that all translations were done at the behest of Muslims themselves is quite false—many of the earliest translations into Western languages were motivated either by pure scholarship on the part of Westerners, or even *as warnings* for its contents. This was certainly true of the Qur’an Thomas Jefferson read.

        Much as pious Muslims might want to, they haven’t been able to stop the publication of such works.

        Pious Muslims don’t consider translations to be “real” Qur’ans—only those in Arabic.

      Note that Voldemort’s army could not respond to the fact that either she doesn’t know a damn thing about Moros or she is lying through her teeth, her hypocrisy over this conflict is sickening, the Bates Treaty was violated by America. Instead of addresing or talking about the causes of the conflict and about why Moros are angry, she goes on to spam more bullshyte links and keeps going off topic, hoping that people wouldn’t read what I said.

        Muslims are *always* angry—enraged, in fact—wherever they aren’t in full power oppressing and slaughtering Infidels.

        Even if this were taken at face value in this case, it is notable that there was no Bates Treaty in Thailand, in China, in India, in Russia, in Israel, in Kenya, in Nigeria, or many other places where Mohammedans are now butchering Infidels for daring to conduct their own affairs, rather than surrendering to Shari’ah.

          cravenmirage speaks to obfuscate again and lie in our faces.

          The Malay Sultanates of Patani, Singora, Kedah, and Kelantan were Thai vassal states (because Thailand was an empire and it regularly invaded, beat up, and forced them into vassal status) . The Sultans were forced to become vassals to the Thai king.

          Thailand (Ayutthaya) actually had the entire Malay peninsula as its vassal puppet, but after the Malay chief Parameswara asked Ming dynasty China to free Malaya from Thai rule, China forced the Thai to give up their overlord status over the Malay, and freed the Malayan peninsula to Parameswara. Parameswara then converetd to Islam and became Iskandar Shah, founding the Malacca Sultanate as a protectorate and tributary of China, in order to prevent Thai and other foreign aggresion.

          Thailand then directly annexed Singora by force and kept the rest as vassals, regularly invading and crushing any rebellions among them, and exacting tribute.

          In 1909, Britain forced Thailand to surrender its vassals of Kelantan and Kedah to British Malaya in the Anglo Siamese treaty.

          Thailand then decided to directly annex their vassal state of Pattani as a province, to prevent the British from seizing it too and adding it to their Malaya colony.

          Britain’s greedy imperialism forced Thailand’s hand into directly annexing Pattani and abolishing even the vassal Sultanate.

          I explained everything here about Thailand and Kepha verified what I said.

          As for China i already explained about the Uyghur nationalist-terrorist, and their twisted nationalist views fused with religion. They believe their own ethnic group and race to be superior, they use Soviet created Uyghur nationalist propaganda and are inspired by Soviet sponsored Uyghur terrorism.

          The Hui directly fought and crushed Uyghur separatists in Kashgar in 1934, and again Hui fought against pro-Soviet Uyghur separatists in the Ili Rebellion.

          Mazo would have us believe that *every* Jihad had a proximate cause—and so it has, in the loosest possible sense.

          But the fact is that Mohammedans are waging violent Jihad *all over the world*, and in the absence of the Caliphate, it is incumbent on them to come up with *some* excuse in each case.

          But the fact is that Mohammedans *always* wage violent Jihad against the Infidel. For instance, Ottoman Turks laughably condoned the Armenian Genocide by claiming that this dhimmified minority was—somehow—at threat to Muslim Turks.

          Like so much Muslim verbiage, of course, this was nothing but projection.

          And he calls me a liar, but cannot actually point to anything I have said that is untrue. Typical…

          As for the idea that Muslims fighting Muslims proves something—well, Muslims have been slaughtering each other for almost 1400 years now. His implication that this somehow proves that Islam isn’t horrifically violent is odd, to say the least.

          The Moros were subjected to killings by the Philippine dictator Marcos in the Jabidah masscre before they rose up in rebellion against his regime.

          Recently the Arab media ran tons of articles about the Armenian genocide to bash Turkey because of Turkey’s running interference for the Muslim Brotherhood (which is despised by Saudi Arabia and the UAE). Arabs have no problem with recognizing Turkish people’s crimes, and indeed, many Armenians lived in peace with their Arab neighbors for decades in Syria and Lebanon after fleeing from the Turks.

          Iran sides with Armenia and it opened its borders with Armenia because of the Turkish and Azeri imposed blockade. Iran also has an Armenian community. Its Israel which has sided with Azerbaijan and provided them with weapons.

          Only Turkophiles will defend Turkey’s murders. The Armenian group ASALA even fought against Israel in Lebanon in addition to assasinating Turkish diplomats.

          Jewish Professor Bernard Lewis denies the Armenian Genocide. He is not a pro-Islamic whitewasher and says openly what he thinks about Islam’s relations to Jews. He denies the Armenian Genocide for the same reason the Israel Lobby in America has prevented Armenian Genocide from getting recognized- because Israel needed Turkey and wanted to maintain diplomatic relations and trade which it still does to this day.

          As for your BS about the excuse, can you name one time a Muslim head of state actually consulted with any of the Caliphs on his time for permission to wage war? Muslim states waged war the same way Christian states waged war in medieval times- no permission,
          BS excuses or obfuscation involved.

    Above, the chinese mohammedan – who appears right now to be pushing the barrow for *two* totalitarian imperial entities *at once* – pours out a mass of verbiage.

    I’m not going to fall into its trap and try to carefully untangle the gordian knots of its postings, in which – this being a mohammedan speaking – facts, semi-facts, falsehoods and outright BS are scrambled up together and it would probably take a month to sort it all out.

    Instead, I have a couple of questions for the mohammedan.

    1/ Were the Muslims to get *all* of Mindanao to be a Muslim-majority Muslim-ruled state, would the non-Muslim percentage of the population increase or decrease over time? (And by “time” I don’t just mean a few days or weeks or even years; I mean longterm; say, the next fifty years *at least*).

    Oh, and another question: will the Muslims, supposing they get the *whole* of Mindanao to be their very own Islamic state, with rules based on or at least strongly influenced by the sharia, then keep themselves to themselves and scrupulously refrain – in perpetuity – from attacking the other – non-Muslim – parts of the Philippines?

    • Mazo says

      Jun 26, 2014 at 12:14 pm

      I have a couple of question for any impartial viewers.

      How sickening do you think it is for Voldemort’s army to use turnspeak, and accuse the Moros of doing what the Spanish, Americans, Japanese, and now Filipinos have been doing to the Moros?

      How sieckening is it that voledmort’s army is talking about violating treaties when America violated the Bates Treaty with the Moros and invaded their land without and provocation?

      How sickening is it that Voldemort’s army speaks of decreasing population of non-Muslims, while it was the Philippines who shipped millions of Christian Filipino colonists from Visayas to Mindanao?

      It is not right that the Filipino colonizers should be deported to the Visayas, just like the Japanese imperialists and colonialists were expelled after their humiliation at the hands of the Moros in Mindanao?

      Is it not that the only people who belong on Mindanao are the surrounding islands are the native Moros and Lumads, and the Chinese who settled in Mindanao peacefully, traded with the Moros and supported them in their wars against Spain and the Filipinos?

      Is it not the Spanish who persecuted, massacred, levied higher taxes on, and forced Chinese to live in ghettos in Manila, while Chinese fled to the Moro Sulu Sultanate to exact venegeance on the Spaniards?

      Oh and since Voledemort’s army likes spamming off topic links-

      Remember the time when the Dalai Lama and Tibet got their butts kicked to kingdom come by Hui Muslims, after the Dalai lama tried invading China? Did the Dalai Lama ever mention this to his fans in the west? Don’t trust propaganda. Seek the truth yourselves.

    Ladies and gentlemen.

    The Mohammedan above, who is pleased to call me “Voldemortsarmy” in a disgustingly puerile piece of playground bullying, keeps up the clouds of smoke.

    Because it surely cannot deny the brute fact of 1400 years of Jihad on three continents, consistent in every detail with the programme set down in the Islamic texts. And 1400 years of *Mohammedan* forced removal of populations, and 1400 years of *Mohammedan* use of hijra – demographic swamping – to overwhelm non-Muslim indigenous populations. No amount of “tu quoque” whataboutery can obscure that reality. “Others did it too!” doesn’t let mohammedans off the hook. (And when it isn’t blowing smoke for the Ummah it indulges in a spot of “split the camp” besides also getting in a plug for its current host, the modern totalitarian Chinese state, which doesn’t exactly have a squeaky-clean human rights record, either

    The mohammedan’s claim, further above, re translations of the Quran, obscures one very important point: *Only* the Arabic Quran is considered to be the *real* Quran.

    The wikipedia page – consulted for a “quick and dirty” overview of the subject of “history of quran translation” starts off thusly:

    “Translation of the Qur’an has always been a problematic and difficult issue in Islamic theology. Since Muslims revere the Qur’an as miraculous and inimitable (i’jaz al-Qur’an), they argue that the Qur’anic text cannot be reproduced in another language or form. ”

    “…According to modern Islamic theology, the Qur’an is a revelation very specifically in Arabic, and so it should only be recited in the Arabic language. Translations into other languages are necessarily the work of humans and so, according to Muslims, no longer possess the uniquely sacred character of the Arabic original. ..”.

    Christianity has no such restrictive attitude. Even the Latin Bible which had a certain privileged status in the Western church for a period of centuries, was itself *already* the product of translation from Hebrew and Greek.

    Meanwhile, over and over, in this forum, Mohammedans have insisted that the Quran just *can’t* be translated, properly speaking; that it *must* be read in the Arabic to be fully understood. There are Muslim nations that use languages other than Arabic for their daily business; but go into the mosques and Arabic – and not modern Arabic, but Quranic Arabic – is privileged over all other languages. Those who become the most pious mohammedans, among new converts, very quickly set out to learn Arabic; whereas, among Christians, it is only those who undertake study for the priesthood or pastorate, or intend to engage in translation of scripture for languages not yet possessing the Bible, who learn Greek, and Hebrew.

    Lamin Sanneh, a former Muslim, now a Christian, from Africa, has commented on the difference in attitude between Christians and Muslims vis a vis the native languages. Christians hastened to translate; Muslims did *not*. (I would hazard the guess that the bulk of modern translations of the Quran into assorted world languages are very recent, and were undertaken after seeing how very effective was the *Christian* tactic of translating scriptures into the mother tongues; and indeed I observe, after a quick trawl, that a good few of the earlier Quran translations were done by *non-Muslims*, presumably actuated by curiosity – or by a sense that one ought to find out what was in the Enemy’s book? – not piety and certainly not by any wish to spread Islam ).

    In 1936, for the entire period from the rise of Islam up to that year, there were 102 known translations of the Quran.

    Whereas by the end of the *19th* century, just in that century alone there had already been translations of the Bible into *400* different languages (and the 20th century has seen *another* 800 languages receive the Bible). The Bible, let us remind ourselves, is a much longer and more complex text than the Quran, and in fact requires the translator, if going from the originals, to work from *two* languages – Hebrew and Greek.

    I am not the only one to have observed that, at bottom, Islam is a vehicle for Arab supremacism. V S Naipaul saw it. And a very wise apostate from Islam, Anwar Sheikh, saw it also.

    http://www.islam-watch.org/AnwarSheikh/Islam-Arab-Imperialism7.htm

    Islam: The Arab Imperialism ― Islam, the Self-Perpetuating Tool of Arab Imperialism

    Another excellent overview of the subject here:

    “The Cultural Imperialism of the Arabs”.

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/10/fitzgerald-the-cultural-imperialism-of-the-arabs.html

    Christianity, I think, has in general preserved more of the pre-Christian culture of the peoples who embraced it, than Islam has preserved of the pre-Islamic culture of those converted to Islam.

    And for the benefit of any new reader who lobs in here, I am going to repeat the point that the Defender of Islam in this thread is trying desperately to prevent people from seeing.

    **Every local Jihad is part of the Global Jihad**. Because the Primary, longterm directive of Islam is for Muslims to seek Dominance over the non-Muslims. The more pious the Muslim the more committed they will be to that goal. All the local jihads add up to the total jihad. It never stops.

    Merely local grievances and to and fro with local Infidels merely tends to mask what’s really going on…to the longterm detriment of the affected infidels.

    Here are some very relevant passages from two very astute recent comments from a newer thread, which I am going to repost here, without apology or excuse, because I think they hit the nail on the head.

    The Mohammedan above, if it chooses, can jump up and down and scream and pour out more clouds of smoke and hurl showers of sand; but let it know that the more fiercely it reacts, the more obvious it will be that I am right, and that this is something that it (the Mohammedan) does *not* want people to think about.

    “Yep. It’s always been this way.

    “The Barbary Pirates were a sprawling, centuries-long proxy jihad by the Ottomans (which doesn’t rule out internecine splintering now and then amongst the Muslims of the time).

    “The suicidal knife-wielding maniacs of the Insulinde (Indonesian and Philippines archipelagos) were proxies of the larger Malay Sultanate, and ceased when the Spanish bombarded the Sultan’s seaside palace with cannons.

    “But we in the West (and many still in the Counter-Jihad) have this anxious need to leap on superficial indicators to assuage us with distracting details that seem to indicate that Islam is not a systemic monolith and that the Umma is not united in deadly fanaticism.”

    Voldemort’s army is full of shyte and never studied the history of the region. Many non-Arab Muslims preserve their pre-Islamic traditions in something called their “Adat”. Chechens have their Adat, Central Asians have their own Adat, and southeast asians have their Adat.

    According to Chechen Adat, they can’t marry cousins up to the seventh or eight generation, even though Islam permits them to. That is why they don’t marry cousins while their neighbors the Dagestanis do.

    According to Minangkabau Adat in Indonesia, their custom is matrilineal, they practice a matrilineal inheritance system which is not found in Islam.

    Moros and Malays also have their own Adat as well with their pre-Islamic laws in customs. According to Malay Adat, thieves just have to pay a fine, and this was applied in the law of their Sultanates before the British colonial era.

    In the Qadim sect in China, Hui build their Mosques like Chinese Temples and some even decorate them with dragon images, and follow other customs as well. It is the Ikhwan sect which strictly follows the scriptures and builds their Mosques with Middle Eastern Architecture, and the Ikhwan is backed and financed by the Communist Party and was also backed by the Kuomintang on Taiwan, which is why they built so many Middle Eastern looking Mosques in China recently.

    I would like all viewers to know that Voldemort’s army did not even read many of the books she cites or even looked up the author’s background.

    V. S. Naipaul was a mysoginist, woman beating racist, with a deep hatred for non western peoples, especially people of color.

    She also recommended Hurgronje’s book on Aceh before, not realizing that Hurgronje was only against Acehnese (because they were resisting Dutch conquest) and not Muslims in general. Hurgronje was friends with the Arab Grand Mufti Sayyid Uthman of the Dutch East Indies and regularly consulted with Arab Ulama, with them issuing Fatwas to stamp out pederasty among Acehnese.

      Yet more hogwash from Mazo:

      Chechens have their Adat, Central Asians have their own Adat, and southeast asians have their Adat.

      According to Chechen Adat, they can’t marry cousins up to the seventh or eight generation, even though Islam permits them to. That is why they don’t marry cousins while their neighbors the Dagestanis do.

      According to Minangkabau Adat in Indonesia, their custom is matrilineal, they practice a matrilineal inheritance system which is not found in Islam.

      Moros and Malays also have their own Adat as well…
      ……………………………….

      No one but anthropologists would care much about the practices of Muslims but for one thing: while superficial customs may vary from place to place, there is not a single major group of Mohammedans who reject Muslim supremacism and the waging of violent Jihad.

      Does an Infidel victim really much care whether or not some group of Muslims have retained this or that bit of “Jahilyyah” *while he is being beheaded*?

      I think not. Mazo’s implication that Islam is infinitely malleable is belied by the great uniformity of the bloody Jihad being waged worldwide, as well as the savage brutality of Shari’ah law wherever it is imposed.

    Furthermore, it would be worth knowing whether this sort of extortion racket is as prevalent in the predominantly non-Muslim north, as it is in the heavily-Islamised southern region.

    Perhaps Nicolai Sennels’ book ‘Among Criminal Muslims’ could do with a Tagalog translation (I think it has been translated into English, which is read by many educated Filipinos, but still, a translation into the Filipino lingua franca would extend its ‘reach’ to *all* Filipino non-Muslim law enforcement personnel and ordinary citizens).

    I’m sure all the Chinese who have been kidnapped, extorted, ransomed, and murdered by the non-muslim Filipino gangs connected to the Filipino police and army in the northern Philippines (Manila) would find it amusing that Voldemort’s army thinks that the Filipino police are some kind of actual law enforcement, akin to that found in a western country. NOT

    The slimy pro-western corrupt states like Philippines are beloved by western politicians and militaries.

      Philippines police played ‘wheel of torture’ game to extract information

      http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/28/philippines-police-wheel-of-torture-game

      Philippine police condemned over ‘torture wheel’

      http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-25923683

      Western media only concerned because the victims of the police are Christian Filipinos in the northern Philippines. They do not give a shyte about the Moro civilians who are constantly being killed in the south.

      But the westerrn media shed crocodile tears for minorities in other countries which they hate.
