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

Philippines: UK and Australia issue warnings about travel to Mindanao over threat of jihad terror and kidnapping

Jan 5, 2019 8:28 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The UK and Australia have issued warnings against citizens traveling “to some parts of Mindanao because of terrorist activity and kidnapping….The travel warning followed the blast in Cotabato City” on New Year’s Eve, “which killed two and injured dozens.” The threat in the Philippines, however, is not restricted solely to this one area. The jihad battle for territory, including the murders and kidnapping of infidels and fellow Muslims, is ongoing in that nation.

Reporting on Islamic jihad activity worldwide results in charges of “Islamophobia,” “racism” and the like. It does not seem to occur to many political leaders and mainstream media journalists — who seem to be plagued with a perpetual long-term memory deficit — that the daily news items filling Jihad Watch are factual. But their actions sometimes betray that they know this to be ths case. Here we see the UK — the country that allows Sharia courts to operate and has flung open its doors to unvetted Muslim migration, while banning and defaming counter-jihadists and allowing jihadists to enter and preach freely — is issuing a warning about jihad activity in another country.

Malacañan Palace (where Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte lives) decided to lie about the UK and Australian government warnings, and issued its own statement claiming that travel to Mindanao and other parts of the Philippines is  “very safe.”

This lie is as brazen as ones we constantly hear about the benefit of wide-open borders.

Here’s a glimpse of the upheaval going on in the Philippines: “The Philippine Congress” vowed to “fast-track a long-delayed bill establishing self-rule for Muslims in the southern island of Mindanao, in response to President Rodrigo Duterte’s warning that another war could break out if the legislation collapses.” This has led to Islamic turf battles. In a July followup to Duterte’s vision of Muslim self-rule, “a bomb exploded in a van in the restive southern Philippines…killing 11 people at a military checkpoint,” in a suicide attack for which the Islamic State claimed responsibility. The blast was in a “island stronghold” of the jihadist group Abu Sayyaf. One month later, a report out of Singapore warned  “that the war on terror in the Philippines may be entering a new, deadlier phase that security forces may not be ready for.”

But still the Philippine government is trying to convince Westerners that it’s safe to visit the Philippines.

“Australia issues travel warning for Mindanao over terrorism, kidnapping,” ABS-CBN News, January 2, 2019:

MANILA – After the United Kingdom, Australia on Tuesday warned its citizens against traveling to some parts of Mindanao because of terrorist activity and kidnapping.

Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade advised its citizens to avoid travel to central and western Mindanao, including the Zamboanga Peninsula, and the Sulu archipelago and southern Sulu Sea area.

It also advised citizens to reconsider travel to eastern Mindanao and exercise a “high degree of caution” when traveling to the Philippines.

The travel warning followed the blast in Cotabato City on Dec. 31, which killed two and injured dozens…..

    Several infamous kidnappings there, over the years–including beheadings.

    Who is financing these Mohammadans ?
    Who sells them weapons and ammo and how ?

    Eradicate the source, the conduit, and these terrorists.

      Very discriminating. Comment Keys.

      I find it hard to believe that Western governments have not got the brainpower and knowledge of psychology to find the answers and devise a Protection Plan for Western Civilization

        On the contrary, western governments have an excellent plan for the destruction of western civilization – all in agreement with Juncker on Islamic Globalist Dictatorship as the only way to save this world.

    Islam restricts safe travel for nonmoslems.

    In the age of space travel why does anyone tolerate moslems division of the Earth into house of war, house of dhimmitude and house of peace?
    This is far worse than colonialism – at least during the colonial era the HindMahSagar (Indian ocean) was not teeming with EastAfrican izlamojihadist pirates.

    But Moslums hijrah (moslem migrations) and moslems demographic jihad is permitted?
    Where’s the fairness? Islamic greed will come back to bite the ummah.

    “Islamic greed will come back to bite Ummah”.

    Well yes the Law of Karma is inevitable.

    However I am concerned as to how long that Law will take to come to fruition in this case and what is going to happen in the interim to non – Muslim peoples their culture and their spiritual traditions.

    In fact what is going to happen to Mother Earth herself.

    Muslims in Mindanao (southernmost Philippines) have always wanted their “autonomous regions”. In the late 80s there were four and I’m sure there are a lot more now. Little did I know then that the “autonomous regions” would be today’s no-go zones where Sharia is the law. Tourism is a main industry in the Philippines. So much for economic progress in the south. Another instance of no fun, no appreciation for beauty and back to the 7th century.

    We could almost use forms to print up news articles about Islamic Jihad ,in this country in ( North Asia, South Eastern Asia Central Asia, Africa, North America ,South America ,Central America , Northern Europe ,Southern Europe , Eastern Europe ,Middle East near East).The common factor “almost” all governments in power of those countries are full denial about Islam religion causing and promoting terrorism .You can not solve a problem until you identify the problem ,appeasing bullying “religion of peace” only encourages religion of peace to bully some more .The Philippines have had an “Islamic” problem dating to the 15 century America was involved with it in the Philippines around 1900 . You have the local man in charge of the Philippines is not shy about using force shooting his own unarmed citizens for the high crime of smoking pot ,thinks he can appease these violent ,armed ,terrorist, he thinks they can be satisfied with a separate Islamic nation? Ask the Israelis how the two nation talks have work in ending terrorist actives over the last 70 years.

      “You can not solve a problem until you identify the problem ,appeasing bullying “religion of peace” only encourages religion of peace to bully some more.” This is very true.

    I have been backpacking in the Phillipines twice 2 decades ago. Very safe country at the time with friendly English speaking people. Except from the islamic hellhole of Mindanao ofcource. War is the only solution. Do not cave in by accepting an Islamic stronghold.
