Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Philippines: Islamic State jihadis threaten to behead Western hostages

Apr 24, 2016 8:59 pm By Robert Spencer

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

Victims of a previous Islamic State beheading

“Philippines jihadists loyal to Islamic State warn they will behead Western hostages,” by Philip Sherwell, Telegraph, April 24, 2016 (thanks to John):

Two Canadians, a Norwegian and a Filipina held captive for seven months in the southern Philippines could be beheaded on Monday by an Islamic rebel group that operates a ruthless kidnapping and piracy enterprise.

The Abu Sayyaf faction, which pledged allegiance first to al-Qaeda and now Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), has set a deadline of 3pm for ransoms of £4.5 million to be paid for the three Westerners.

In videos chillingly reminiscent of those that have emerged from Syria, the three haggard-looking men plead with their families and governments to pay the money.

One captor presses a machete to their necks, while other armed men stand behind them carrying assault weapons and the distinctive black flag of Isil.

The shocking images and looming deadline have focused fears that Islamic extremists are carving out a safe haven for terrorists to use as a base to strike targets across South East Asia….

No kidding, really?

    I wonder how Canada’s new muslim loving PM Trudeau will react if two of the countries citizens are executed in this, especially by beheading . Any soft or apologetic response may see an abrupt end to his political honeymoon.

      It of course will their own fault. Look what they made them do!
      Trudeau attends a mosque, like obola does.

      Don’t expect muslim Trudeau to have any more sympathy than the butcher of Benghazi

      He will come out with the usual garbage that the Islamic State is not “authentic” Islam, that they are hijackign the religion of peace and such.

    What would happen to this jihadis if the islamic state in Iraq and Syria were to disappear tomorrow? Would they become law-abiding citizens or would they carry on the jihad?

      The lefty controlled police would arrest all the Americans. The National guard would be Called out; to shoot Americans and Americans would be thrown into prison. Before things can change people must change and until the people realise that the left and it’s agents are their deadly foe, nothing can change.

    until we are prepared to attack and destroy and kill in the same manner we did during WW2 nothing will change. words will not change or fix anything where islam is concerned only crushing islam physically will work.

      You are absolutely right. Of course everyone knows it,but very few dare say it.

    Muslims on war torn nations may be accommodated on humanitarian grounds, but on strict conditions: 1)they have to respect the law of the land which gave them asylum, over everything (more than their Quran); 2) they would be sent back once normally returns in their homelands;
    3)they will never be given equal citizenship rights, no matter how many years they live in the lands of their asylum; 4)they would be forcibly deported when they are found in activities inimical to the nation that gave them asylum. If these commonplace rules are strictly followed then the western nations need not fear that their identities and hard won freedom of life would be eroded in due course!

      The Muslim migrants would not stick to them Come what may; they would merely make a continual nuisance of themselves,a deadly nuisance , and the lefty lawyers and Islamophiles would give them endless protection. The only way to handle Islam is from outside of ones own borders. As the saying goes ” if you sup with devil,use a long spoon.”

    We can’t say it too often – a religion of love and peace!

    Tell me again why Islamophobia is a bad thing! I mean, you don’t let poisonous snakes anywhere near you…or mad dogs…or tigers—so what is the problem with recognizing that Islam is an evil Nazi political system masquerading as a ‘peaceful’ religion?

    Can the West become ever more stupid than it now is. ? The West is the most advanced civilisation ever known ,it has massive ,sophisticated armouries, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and ,even now, trillions of pounds ,dollars,euros at it’s disposal. But all this appears to be useless; the West cannot annihilate a backward , basically unsophisticated bunch of thugs and gangsters who are running rings round it and humiliating the West and murdering it’s citizens and other innocents at will. The so called leaders of Western nations should hang their heads in shame and be driven from political life. It is disgraceful!

    The strength of an Empire or a nation or an organisation counts for nothing without the will and the courage to use that strength . The British Empire,the most benign empire ever in history ,was continually engaged in military conflict because every time a British subject ,and that was anyone in the Empire,was threatened or wronged or harmed the government would send out a force to punish the wrongdoer,protect or rescue the threatened. Britain never shirked from her duty and by and large other states knew this and did not goad the Lion too far. British subjects could travel safely anywhere because the state said that it demanded that British subjects whether English,Canadian,Indian,Australian, African be treated with respect and their safety guarded. And the government meant what it said. Any attack or harm done to a British subject was instantly punished. Lord Palmerston sent gun boats to punish those who had wronged a Gibraltarn merchant who had his property damaged and stolen.
    Now Britain and the West just watch atrocities happen and wring their hands and wonder why no one respects them. America is the same. All that muscle unused while innocents suffer. Unused muscle turns to flab. Time to see the world and the wicked people in it in it’s true light and get real,as the expression is.

    Sorry but what are two Canadians and a Norwegian doing in the Southern Philippines?

    Mindanao and areas around it have been a terrorist haven for many years. Whether the three came as tourists or as do-gooders, they knew where they were going.

    One of the Canadians has now been beheaded. Trudeau makes a speech about his outrage but does not identify the terrorists as islamic. Just as Obama would never declare their ideology, neither does Trudeau.
    Yikes.
