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

Philippines: Islamic State jihadis capture and murder nine Christians

May 26, 2017 7:37 pm By Robert Spencer

Did these Christians draw Muhammad? Did they poke the Muslims in the eye in some way? They must have provoked them, right? If we just stay quiet, we will be okay, right?

Actually, their crime was only to be Christian. Pope Francis is no doubt jetting to Marawi City as we speak, so as to explain to these jihad mass murderers that true Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“Christians ‘are tied together and shot dead by ISIS militants’ as US-trained special forces battle to retake besieged Philippines city from rampaging jihadis,” by Ekin Karasin, Jay Akbar and Nic White, Daily Mail Australia, May 25, 2017:

ISIS-linked militants reportedly captured nine Christians, tied their hands together and shot them dead in a city in the Philippines.

The Maute group forced the civilians off their truck at a roadside checkpoint in Marawi City on Wednesday and murdered them after they were identified as Christian, local media reported.

Harrowing images show the group lying dead face-down in the grass, amid reports that villagers are afraid to move the bodies because terrorists are still in the area.

One policeman was similarly caught at a checkpoint set up by the militants and beheaded on Wednesday, President Rodrigo Duterte said.

It comes as 100 US-trained special forces aboard helicopters and armoured tanks battled to retake the besieged southern city from rampaging jihadis.

Five soldiers and one policemen died in the clashes, while 13 gunmen were killed, according to the military.

‘We’re confronting maybe 30 to 40 remaining from the local terrorist group,’ said Jo-Ar Herrera, a spokesman for the military’s First Infantry Regiment….

    Is President Duterte’s pivot to China and away from the US actually emboldening the Jihadists? Duterte has cancelled joint training exercises with US forces (something they need badly) as he asserts his independent vision. Unfortunately it increasingly looks he is way out of his depth in a range of issues. The Muslim threat was formerly a kidnap and extortion gang. now they have become politicized as eager members of the global Caliphate and will be a much more difficult to eradicate, and clumsy action in Muslim communities by the Army will fuel recruitment. The Philippines needs US help like never before.

    We should help them. To get rid of Isis, we may have to fight in outher countrys. Isis is Isis, no matter what country they’re in.

    It’s as though these people hunger and thirst to shed blood, and count any day on which they fail to kill kuffar wasted. Some fast !

    You’ve got it in one, James. It’s world war 3, or really world war one. It’s never stopped, Islam just retreated to lick its wounds and come up with new strategies. There is something called blood lust, a depraved desire to kill and maim. Islam excels at fomenting this among its followers.

    Sing KUMBAYA! Ramadan is the MONTH OF JIHAD AND VICTORIES!

    Former Egyptian Grand Mufti: Ramadan Is The Month Of Jihad And Victories

    In an article published in the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram in July 2012, then-mufti of Egypt ‘Ali Gum’a wrote that Ramadan is, and has been throughout Muslim history, the month in which Allah helps the Muslims to prevail over their enemies and grants them mighty victories. He reviewed the conquests of Muslims throughout history during Ramadan.

    “[Throughout the history of] Islamic civilization, Ramadan has been not only a month of worship and of growing close to Allah the Almighty, but also a month of action and jihad aimed at spreading this great religion. When the soul grows stronger and the spirit soars, it inevitably affects the body, which [also] grows stronger – [for] the body is the mirror of the soul. That is why, throughout [Muslim] history, Ramadan has been a month of great conquests, which were an important factor in spreading Islam, [with] its righteousness and tolerance, across the world. Ramadan saw [many] events that were milestones in the history of Islamic civilization.

    Sheikh-Ayatollah-Grand Imam-Super Mufti- Pope Francis … the GREAT authority on Islam … will certainly want to explain why he understands Islam better than Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (PhD Islamic Studies).

    Caliph Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, who is the ISIS chief and the caliph of the Islamic State, is apparently the first Islamic Studies PhD from a Muslim background who has no idea about Islam.
    Al-Baghdadi, who has obtained BA, MA and PhD degrees in Islamic studies from the Islamic University in Baghdad, has been condemned as a person who knows nothing about Islam, and as the head of an organization that has nothing to do with Islam.
    The professors from the Islamic University of Baghdad, however, do not agree. They taught the caliph and believe his credentials and doctrines are sound.
    “If a person who has a PhD in Islamic studies and does nothing but study the Islamic scriptures knows nothing about Islam, then who does?” questioned al-Baghdadi’s main teacher from the Islamic University, preferring to remain anonymous since the fatwa against ISIS and its chief puts his reputation into jeopardy.
    “The wine-sipping Muslims, those hedonistic adulterers will tell the world what true Islam is? Obama and Cameron know more about Islam than the faculty of Islamic studies at the Islamic University in Baghdad?” the professor bellowed with rage, while talking to a journalist.
    Another professor, who had taught al-Baghdadi for his BA, said off the record that the ISIS caliph was an ardent student.
    “He had this obsession with Islamic studies. I used to tell him to go out and have some fun sometimes. But his idea of fun wasn’t too human friendly,” the professor said. “In any case he was a top student. One of the best I’ve ever had. Had the entire syllabus on his finger tips – to be honest, he knew more about Islamic studies than most of the professors.”
    “While you can question whether they are humans or not, there is no doubt that ISIS, including Abu Bakr (al Baghdadi), are indeed bona fide Muslims,” concluded the ISIS caliph’s PhD professor.

      “…his idea of fun wasn’t too human friendly”.
      Perhaps it was goat-friendly.

    In 1900 my great-uncle was in the US Army and was sent to the Philippines because the muslims were burning down churches and beheading Christians. Nothing has changed with the religion of peace.

    We’ve got the message from “the religion of peace”.
    Islamic terrorists kill nine more Christians in the Phillipines. CHRISTIANAPHOBIA!!
    Islamic terrorists kill a busload of Christians in Egypt. CHRISTIANAPHOBIA!!
    Islamic terrorists launch missiles at Israeli homes. ANTISEMITISM!!
    Islamic terrorists burn Christians out of their homes in Egypt. CHRISTIANAPHOBIA!!
    Islamic terrorists kidnap and kill Jewish children from within Israel. ANTISEMITISM!!!
    Islamic mobs burn Coptic churches in Egypt. CHRISTIANAPHOBIA!!
    Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan Lybia, Algeria, UAE (and others) disallow the building or repair of Christian churches or Jewish synagogues. CHRISTIANAPHOBIA plus ANTISEMITISM!!

    If Muslim nations truly reject Islamic terrorism, then stop with the empty words of sympathy and actually DO something. Censor those imams preaching hate and make actual tolerance part of the curriculum in those Islamic schools found around the world (including within the U.S.). And let Saudi Arabia make sure that tolerance is actually taught at those university “Islamic Studies” departments that SA funds throughout the world.

    Actions speak louder than words. And, so far, the anti-terrorist words coming from the world’s Islamic peoples are all taqiyya.

    Islam is like a POISONOUS SNAKE .You can never expect loyalty or compassion from it.Just as you can never trust a SNAKE ,nor can one ever trust a MUSLIM .Britain offered ASYLUM to this WRECHED MUSLIM LYBIAN family and look what their BRITISH BORN SNAKE did to the young innocent children in Manchester. I blame the leadership in the WEST who misguide the ordinary citizens by promoting ISLAM as a RELIGION of PEACE with their political correctness. ONLY TRUMP HAS THE GUTS TO CALL SPADE A SPADE.MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT DONALD TRUMP.
