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

Philippines: Islamic State jihadis shooting people dead for failing to quote the Qur’an

May 31, 2017 8:50 am By Robert Spencer

One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have learned imams such as H. R. McMaster and Theresa May to explain to us otherwise.

“ISIS teenage fighters are ‘shooting people dead for failing to quote the Koran’ in besieged Philippines city as Duterte’s military warns jihadis to ‘surrender or die,'” by Gareth Davies, Mailonline, May 30, 2017:

Teenage ISIS fighters are said to be shooting people dead for failing to quote the Koran in a besieged Philippines city.

As 50,000 people fled the city of Marawi in the south of the country, some reported the terror they had left behind.

Terrified residents reported young jihadis taking orders from commanders in their early 20s to force people to recite verses of the Islamic scripture, but when they failed, they would be shot dead to a chorus of laughter.

Philippine authorities on Tuesday warned Islamist militants occupying parts of a southern city to surrender or die, as attack helicopters pounded the gunmen’s strongholds where up to 2,000 residents are still feared trapped.

More than 100 people have been confirmed killed in the conflict, which began last week when gunmen waving black flags of the Islamic State (IS) group rampaged through the mostly Muslim-populated city of Marawi.

Tens of thousands managed to flee and one woman told The Telegraph her decision to leave was sealed when she witnessed teenage jihadis laughing at innocent people being shot.

President Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law across the entire southern region of Mindanao, home to roughly 20 million people, in response to the crisis as he warned that local militant groups were uniting behind IS and becoming a major security threat.

But the militants, initially estimated by the nation’s defence chief to number just 100, have withstood eight days of intense air assaults and street-to-street combat, prompting the government’s threats on Tuesday.
ISIS plan to burn a city

General Eduardo Ano, the military chief, said extremists had plotted to set Marawi ablaze entirely to project ISIS’ influence.

The extremists wanted to kill Christians in nearby Iligan city on Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, to mimic the violence seen by the world in Syria and Iraq, Ano said….

Marawi is regarded as the heartland of the Islamic faith on Mindanao island….

Up to 2,000 residents were trapped in areas held by the militants, according to the local government, and the International Committee of the Red Cross had voiced alarm they would be caught in the bombing raids or crossfire.

The militants also took a priest and up to 14 other people hostage at the start of the crisis, and their fate remains unknown….

The violence began when dozens of gunmen went on a rampage in response to an attempt by security forces to arrest Isnilon Hapilon, a veteran Filipino militant regarded as the local leader of ISIS.

Hapilon, a senior member of the Abu Sayyaf kidnap-for-ransom gang, is on the US government’s list of most-wanted terrorists.

He was being protected in Marawi by the local Maute group, which has pledged allegiance to ISIS.

Hapilon, the Maute and other militants had been planning a major attack on Marawi, one of the few Islamic cities in the mainly Catholic Philippines with a population of 200,000 people, armed forces chief General Eduardo Ano said.

He said they were planning to launch the assault to coincide with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which began on the weekend, but the raid on Hapilon triggered them to attack earlier, according to Ano….

    “Philippine authorities on Tuesday warned Islamist militants occupying parts of a southern city to surrender or die”

    No, Philippine authorities should kill them straight away, even if they surrender.

      You are obviously correct, but don’t worry, Duterte is in charge, there will be no pussyfooting around. This is just an attempt to con them into giving up or to make things looks better after.

      Duterte is known for extrajudicial executions of drug dealers. You think that he’ll get cold feet with ISIS? By the time he’s finished with them, we’ll probably feel *sorry* for them.

    Filipino Christians are held to better standards than jihadis with their degenerate murder-cult are. The jihadis should be offered the opprtunity to surrender – if they do not avail themselves of it, they should then, and only then, be slaughtered without pity, to the last man.

    Islam wins whenever those fighting against it give in to the temptation to sink down to its level. When that happens, it brutalises and degrades even those who oppose it. It must not be allowed that victory.

      The problem with your answer is that the isis scum do not thing like you and by not killing them, you are weak. Gitmo is the perfect example of trying to rehabilitate them. They all chose to be isis killers, they all need to be killed, publicly beheaded. They understand and respect one concept from their enemy and that is strength, period. Any other compassionate action is wasted on them and will come back to the captors in even more cruelty and barbarism. ISIS MUST BE KILLED, JUST AS THE NAZIS WERE AND THEIR IDEOLOGY BURNT ALONG WITH ALL THEIR BODIES!

    From the article – “Terrified residents reported young jihadis taking orders from commanders in their early 20s to force people to recite verses of the Islamic scripture, but when they failed, they would be shot dead to a chorus of laughter.”

    Muslims in Egypt, just last Friday, attacked Coptic Christian families – all unarmed, helpless people. They demanded that they recite the Shahada, the Muslim declaration; that is: they demanded that the Christians renounce Christ and submit to infernal ‘allah’ the arab muslim demon of blood and war, and follow the violent raping murdering robbing warlord, mohammed. And when the Coptic Christians refused, **they were shot dead**.

    And all the way over at the other end of Eurasia, in the southern Philippines, a gang of local Muslims do *exactly the same thing*.

    They murder people who cannot recite the Islamic texts.

    This. is. Islam.

    This. is . global Jihad.

    As in Egypt, so in the Philippines.

      All this is nothing new, it is the history of the Islamic conquests. In the Iberian peninsula exactly the same thing happened. Salafists only do what they have learned.

    One of the best verses in the bible against murderous jihad is Amos 3.12. In this verse, Amos says the dreams of the Jewish prophets will play a role in ending the murder of Jews in Samaria. Most of the other biblical prophets also have statements which were purposefully made to be coordinated with this word from Amos. One of the many statements in their network, Joel 2.30, includes God showing how knowing God is when people are being killed. Joel’s word is a terrible development for the murderers spoken of in this article. It helps show God is with the biblical prophets in their desire to crush jihad. These biblical prophets obviously have a rock to slay the giant of murderous jihad. I think Jews should practice coordinating the different deeds of these prophets against murder. When this is done it would show the word of Amos is true.

        A coordinated effort against murder by a group of people who have never met before is much more impressive than a rabid dog like you.

    When the chickens come home to roost allot of Muslims evacuate the hen house. It felt good when ISIS was killing other people’s children and grandparents. But now it’s “off to Europe”.

    Years of bungling by the Philippines has resulted in a small group of muslim separatists and kidnap gang criminals morphing into full blown Jihadists. I have no confidence the Philippine military can contain them in Marawi and with returning Asian ISIS fighters now making their way to the region there is a real possibility of a Syrian style meltdown of government control. It’s long been known Islamists want a Pan-Asia caliphate incorporating parts of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Southern Philippines.

      I have the same fears, Baucent.

      This goes back to at least 110 years ago American troops were fighting Islamic separatists in the Philippines before World War 1.

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 1, 2017 at 8:54 pm

        It goes back even further, WPM. Muslims have been working on the conquest of the Philippines for six centuries now.

        As is increasingly common, they are especially emboldened right now.

    Philippines: Islamic State jihadis shooting people dead for failing to quote the Qur’an
    ……………………..

    Jihadis have done this in many places, either to separate Infidels from Muslims, or lax Muslims from serious Muslims.

    Marawi City in the Philippines is *already* under Shari’ah law, as I was shocked to find out when this invasion started–including mandatory wearing of the headscarf–but it is not nearly strict enough for these pious Mohammedans.

  12. Peter says

    May 31, 2017 at 10:12 pm

    The most potent vaccines against Islamic virus is to compulsorily sterilize all jihadi men and women and left wing liberal journalists and tell the truth about Islam.

    Shooting people dead for failing to recite the koran?
    It must be one of those mysterious and conveniently nebulous “insults to islam”.

    Possible insults to islam..

    A convert to islam studiously reading the koran…upside down.

    A convert to islam speaking Arabic very badly and not knowing what he is saying.

    Spelling muhammed as mooohameeed

    Farting in a mosque…deliberately and with malicious intent .. at the man behind you.

    Looking into space during ramadan.

    Not looking into space during ramadan.

    Listening to the song of a songstress(Listen!allah will pour molten lead down your throat.That’s official Sharia Law)

    Accidently speaking Hebrew in a mosque(allah apparently hates Hebrew.And Jews).

    Accidently saying the Shema Adonai in a mosque and saying “May God bless the people of Israel”.

    Reminding moslems that while allah curses the Jews and the Christians that’s really odd given that Moses and Jesus Christ were ..Jews(well,they were not moslems!!)

    Praying in the wrong direction.

    Bringing a Bible to a mosque and asking “why are allah’s koranic teachings so completely at odd with The Commandments?”

    Leaving a recipe for Matzo ball soup in the mosque’s koran.

    Standing up and saying “Hey,isn’t it wrong to kill Jews and Christians?I was reading the Bible recently and well…apparently there are a list of commandments.The Sixth one says that murder is wrong.Who knew?Does anyone know why allah diasagrees with these Laws of God..it seems he forgot to include them in the koran.I cannot find any enumerated list of those all important commandments in the koran.That’s why I had to read the Bible.Say,that’s really odd isn’t it?”

    Drawing a picture of their prophet with a question mark over the picture of baby Aisha:It’s their first date.
    They will marry when she grows up….at nine years of age she will be a fully grown woman of marriageable age.Reminding people of this marriage of a middle aged man to a child;surely that must be a terrible insult to islam.

    There is always an escalation. It’s inevitable.
    Moslems are now killing by gunfire, innocent citizens of their “Host” country.
    They have gone from physical force over women and children, to employing knives (all added to the explosives arsenal) and now to gunfire on select individual targets (human beings). If our governments didn’t know for sure this was just moslem missionary work, they would think it was a real war.

    If they get me, I will never recite anything other than the Bible.
    I will profess Jesus in public and never pretend otherwise even to save my life.

    If asked, I can recite some verse like the one below:

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5; 43-45 Then they can see that I belong to Jesus to my last breath (and afterward of course too!)
