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

Philippines: Muslims murder soldier, wound three civilians in jihad bomb attacks

Jan 11, 2018 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The Muslim minority of the mainly Catholic Philippines considers Mindanao as its homeland. Decades of armed rebellion in the region have claimed more than 100,000 lives according to official estimates.”

The guiding principle here is that Islam must dominate, and not be dominated, and “the best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) must never be ruled by “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). The lingering question is why Western governments think that their nations will be exempt from this strife, which has come everywhere Muslims have come, throughout Islamic history, as I detail in my upcoming book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS.

“Militants’ bombs kill Philippine soldier, wound civilians,” Agence France-Presse, January 10, 2018:

MANILA, Philippines – Muslim militants who pledge allegiance to the Islamic State group have killed a soldier and wounded three civilians in bomb attacks in the southern Philippines, the military said Wednesday.

Security forces on the main southern island of Mindanao have been pursuing pro-IS armed groups following a five-month battle with militants for the city of Marawi last year that left more than 1,100 dead.

The soldier was fatally hit Tuesday while his unit was tracking Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) gunmen on a mountain trail near the town of Datu Unsay, regional military spokesman Captain Arvin Encinas told AFP.

“The dead soldier was involved in a clearing operation (against the BIFF),” Encinas added.

A roadside bomb apparently intended for a military convoy in the neighboring town of Datu Hoffer wounded three civilians instead, Encinas added.

He said both military units were pursuing BIFF members who had clashed with security forces in the same region on Saturday, a firefight that left a soldier and five militants dead.

He said some members of the BIFF had been trained in making improvised explosive devices by Zulkifli bin Hir, a Malaysian killed in a police operation in the same region two years ago.

“These are students of Marwan. There’s quite a few of them,” Encinas said of the bomb makers, referring to Zulkifli’s alias.

      Dear Robert,
      Thank you again for giving us important unbiased factual news, of which we would never hear from mainstream news outlets.
      Your work may very well save the soul and hope of the free world.
      keep on thinking free fellow peace lovers

        I’ve read through the headlines of today’s JW and they are not found on any of the news networks FOX, CNN, MSNBC and I feel sure not on all foreign news outlets.
        .Why???……I know there are thousands on top of thousands of JW readers and we try to pass what we find on J W to others and try yo get them to join and try to explain how Muslims with their set rules of domination are trying to FORCE their so called religion on the western world but iF the national news services would expound on the goals of Islam then maybe the west would be better informed and then we could put the brakes on Islam…Islam is not, and with their present teachings, could never be a God based religion.
        Has the God of Abraham, Jacob and Isaac, turned his back on the west because we have turned our backs on Him? Well I do know God never gives up. The JEWS ARE A CONSTANT REMINDER THAT HE DOES NOT!

      Vice do some pretty decent stuff.

      That journalist girl needs to learn a bit more about islam from the sound of it though.

      If one were needed, Marawi is an important warning for us in the West. Why can’t Malmo or some other islamic enclave turn out like there?

      We may have to destroy some of our own cities in a similar way at some point.

    There is nowhere safe from these murderous swine.

    We all know what the solution is. What is lacking is the political will.

    The real tragedy for most Americans is that few will ever read or hear about this incident since it does not fit into the left’s agenda. Fox may post this incident on its website but I doubt if even they will feature this horrible event into the online broadcast. I am truly grateful to Robert Spencer and Pam Geller for their crusade for an enlightened America.

    Another case!
    I wonder what happened to abu……?
    I was going to ask where he would place this on his ‘fact sheet.’
    And ibrahim is also mysteriously silent, not even a rant about those
    ‘zionists’! I wonder if they are meeting together somewhere behind closed doors,
    stay tuned, we may see the results on here tomorrow!

      And “abu salma”–ludicrously–means “father of peace” in Islam, Lydia.

    Muslim fanatics were whom the US military forces fought during the previous turn of the century,
    whereupon the Colt .45 caliber needed to be invented to put down the charging jihadists then….

    All Asia is Hindu-Vedic territory.

    Followers of demented creeds: reform yourself – Ghar Wapsi is only Ahimsic Hope.
    Might of Hindu Arm is not idle threat.

    Durga Devi di Jai! Jai Hind!

    Always wondered what Hind Mahasagar (Hindu Indian ocean) was for…waters never mix with other oceans our sweet Dharmic ocean. Keep Asia clean!!
    Man is Divine. Woman is Shakti. Child is Purest ROOP of Paramatman. What part of this is difficult to comprehend jihadist scum?
    Saffronize and Self-Realize.
    Cumin-Turmeric-Coriander forever! India
    Saffron-Pistacchio-Rosewater forever!! Iran
    Unity amongst all Dharmic creeds needed. Dharmic Unity Organization to replace hopelessly corrupt and morally bankrupt uno.
    All glory to Inder Dev – King of Heaven (Svarag) and God of War. Dharm Yudh is on!

    Perhaps we are beating our heads against a brick wall? Islam educates and indoctrinates thousands of fighters a month. How can we possibly turn around 1400 years of treachery and terror bu running them down on jungle trails and kill 10 of them a month?

    One might consider levelling a mosque randomly for every victim of terror untll they cooperate or severely impait the indoctrination and education of Islam. Effectively, Muslims would have to stay out of mosques until there are no more terror attacks.

    Forget the politically correct angle that not all Muslims are terrorists. There are enough radicals in each mosque to justify a more radical approach.
