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

Philippines: Islamic State forces women to become sex slaves and orders hostages to convert to Islam

Jun 27, 2017 12:56 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

And as for the forced conversions, the  Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,” (2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, the journalists who were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam — even though their conversions were obviously coerced, their captors made them say that they were converting freely, and the captors probably believed that themselves. After all, the journos could have chosen to be killed instead.

“ISIS forces women trapped in over-run Philippines city to become sex slaves and orders hostages to convert to Islam as it uses Christian human shields to fend off Duterte’s troops,” by Rory Tingle, Mailonline, June 27, 2017:

ISIS fighters in the Philippines are forcing women to become sex slaves and hiding behind 100 Christian human shields as the vicious battle to retake a city held by the militants enters its second month.

Terrorists from the Maute group seized Marawi City five weeks ago and have taken hostages who they are forcing to convert to Islam and carry wounded fighters.

Most of Marawi’s 200,000 citizens have fled since the attack on May 23, and those left behind have been subjected to horrific abuse, according to escapees.

‘They are being forced to be sex slaves, forced to destroy the dignity of these women,’ said army spokesman Jo-Ar Herrera.

‘This is what is happening inside, this is very evident..these are evil personalities.’

Hostages include leading churchman Father Teresito Soganub.

Abdullah Maute, one of two brothers who formed the group, said on Sunday he would free Soganub in return for his parents, who are being held by police.

But this request was refused by Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte, with his spokesman saying any bargaining with terrorists was against government policy.

Heavy clashes broke out today as strongman leader Duterte ordered intense bombing raids by planes on the shrinking rebel zone.

The authorities believe Soganub and more than 100 other Christians are being held by the Islamic State-affiliated insurgents as human shields….

    Business as usual, infidel women are abused as sex slaves and innocent people used as human shields. Islam and human rights are absolutely incompatible. Wherever Muslims are they rape and kill. The rest of the Philippines is Catholic, there is peace and security but as soon as you have Muslims anywhere, theer is always murder and all sorts of other crime.

    Our world would be a much better place without this invidious ideology.

    They only follow the Koran and the Sunnah, according to their laws infidel women can be sex slaves. Resisting would be Islamophobic because there is freedom of worship here, if their religion demands blood we should be tolerant and offer our heads. Ohhhh the religion of peace …..

    No they are not. They are good Moslems, fully and fearlessly observing their religion, called by none other than HIllary Clinton herself one of the world’s great religions.

    However, Hillary didn’t define “great.”

    Pope Francis should convince those holding Father Teresito Soganub that their version of Islam is a ‘DISTORTION’ of a noble religion, rather than jihad in the way of Allah.

    The RCC has to start becoming aware of the primary Islamic source texts, rather than relying on the spontaneous GUESSES of Pope Frank.

    Islamic scripture has led to an ascendant Nazism 2.0. What a world contribution. At least our leaders didn’t consider Nazism an ideology of peace. This is going to get really, really, really, really bad. Was wondering when the mutation in “interpretation” in everyone’s favorite “moderate”, “largest Muslim country in the world”, Indonesia, would occur and it looks as though it’s happening via Malaysia (how properly named) and the Islamic Emirate of Mindanao. How stupid we [kafirs] are.

    • Budvarakbar says

      Jun 28, 2017 at 1:14 am

      Actually Nazism 1.0 was Islam 3.0 (Communism being Islam 2.0) — Hitler’s mistake was being TOO honest — he should have claimed that he was visited by the angel Gabriel while in prison and had Mein Kampf dictated to him by the angel!

        Good points. Islam is far more insidious.

  7. Wellington says

    Jun 27, 2017 at 4:46 pm

    Islam is obsessed with three things: power, sex and death (N.B., unlike other religions there is virtually nothing spiritual about this creed, which itself is telling and damning in its own right).

    Allah, Mohammed’s hand puppet, is merely the “excuse,” the “catalyst,” the “authority,” by which Muslims engage in these three things, these three priorities, first established by Mohammed, a most influentially clever and lethal psychopath if ever there were one.

    And so mankind often suffers terribly because of this religion, which is warped beyond any capacity for redemption or reformation. It’s suffering now. In the Philippines. In India. In the Middle East. In Europe. In America. In Canada. In Africa. In…. In…. In….

    Thus, not to despise Islam is not to despise evil. Indeed, it amounts to being in league with evil, whether wittingly or unwittingly being the only variable here.

    No one can force me to convert to anything.
    I will gladly die for my Christian faith.
    Or whatever else happens, but I will remain and die a Christian.

    For those who renounce, that too, is a choice.
    Obviously under intense pressure, but a choice nonetheless.

    And they will have to fight hard in order to rape me, that’s for sure.

    The whole of Mindanao could be liberated in good time, after which conditions should be set down containing the practice of Islam in the island, including stringent laws and penalties against the persecution of apostates, Christians and other non Muslim individuals.

      Wise up — there is NO such thing as peaceful co-existence with Islam

  13. TheBuffster says

    So here’s the map of how it works, as I see it: Muslims settle in an area, keeping together in their own community. True, most migrant groups do this for a while. But the orthodox, devoted Muslims don’t mean to ever integrate and they keep building their Muslim community while the most severe among them keep watch on the behavior of their tribe. The most morally rational will eventually escape from the community to assimilate with the wider culture and the area will thereby become more Islamically pure as time goes on. The more religious the Muslim area becomes the more it will lose its most reasonable and independent-minded members.

    The Muslim area continues to spread the edges of its territory outward until there’s have a fair bit of real estate in Muslim possession. Any non-Muslims living in their neighborhoods get harassed until they move away. No non-Muslims in the know will buy in that neighborhood, so the property will most likely be bought by a Muslim. For the heterodox Muslims, life there will feel a lot like life in a Muslim country, minus the harshest aspects of Sharia, but the social attitude will be stifling and they’ll have to make choices about whether to stay close to family or leave the area. Pressure on them to be more orthodox may persuade some and repel others.

    At a certain point the community will become a no-go zone. Weapons get stockpiled. The area becomes a haven for terrorists. When the leaders of the orthodox cult believe the time is right, their territory is large enough, and their most devoted members are trained, they will begin their war to gain independence for their territory. And then all the kaffir areas close by will be in the position of Israel.

    That’s the only way that by-the-book Muslims can carry out the mission that Allah has given them in the world as it is today. They can’t charge in as an army on their horses, wielding their scimitars, and offer the residents the three choices. Their enemies are too militarily powerful for that to work.

    But, oh look! While the unbelievers are militarily superior to them in every way, they have psychologically disarmed themselves with cultural relativism and a denigration of objective reasoning and their own culture! Allah has lead them to be blind and weak, to open their gates and let the Muslims in as refugees and give them welfare and make conquest possible in a new way! And the Koran says that when there is an *opportunity* to conquer, it is the Muslims’ DUTY to take that opportunity – they MUST NOT pass it up.

    So those who know their Islam, who are not pickers and choosers (“hypocrites” according to the Koran) and who take Islam with full seriousness, see this opportunity opening up and they are bound to take it. And as True Believers they will regard this opportunity as foolproof, as the doing of Allah, and have full confidence that this is what they’re supposed to do.

    I’ve spent 38 years reading up on Islam. From the Koran to the Bukhari hadith to the histories to the testimonies of apostates to the statements of orthodox leaders and observing of current events through my decades of life, I’ve come to this conclusion. This is what the present situation looks like to me. This is what I see happening. And this situation in the Philippines is just one of the present day situations that shows what jihad-minded Muslims aim to do everywhere.

    Philippines is in big trouble. A few years back, when Philippines Islamic terrorist organization, Abu Sayaff kidnapped infidels and ask for ransom, Philippines government just simply put their head into sand and refused to take aggressive actions against Islamic terrorist in Philippines. Because of Philippines government policy, these Islamic terrorist have earned billion dollars from ransom business.

    Now the Philippines government had to fight with billiondollars Islamic terrorist.

    Good luck Filipinos, may Allah curse you and punish you for your super selfish and stupid deeds.
