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

Philippines: Jihad leaders sworn in as administrators of a new Muslim autonomous region

Feb 25, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

There is no way that this will end well and that peace will now come to the Philippines. The jihad imperative doesn’t end when Muslims establish an autonomous regime. There will be new pretexts for violence, new complaints and new demands, and the strife will continue.

“Muslim rebel commanders transform into Philippine officials,” Associated Press, February 22, 2019:

MANILA, Philippines: Some of the fiercest Muslim rebel commanders in the southern Philippines are in Manila to be sworn in as administrators of a new Muslim autonomy region in a delicate milestone to settle one of Asia’s longest-raging rebellions.

President Rodrigo Duterte will lead a ceremony Friday to name Moro Islamic Liberation Front leader Murad Embrahim and some of his top commanders as administrators of a transition government for the five-province Bangsamoro region….

The Philippines and Western governments and the guerrillas see Muslim autonomy as an antidote to ease nearly half a century of Muslim secessionist violence, which the Daesh group could exploit to gain a foothold.

    How stupid must I be when I am in politcal power. It has never worked to set up muslim regions. Look to Pakistan or Aceh. They will only use this area as basis for invading the rest of the Philippines. In German there is a saying which is translated like that: give them your little finger and they grab the whole hand.

      Why is that Merkel doesn’t know that expression? The only finger I would offer is the middle one.

        Maybe she knows it. But she offers the whole country by will.

      Mohammedanism is primarily political. When Mohammedans establish a no-go zone or an autonomous town, they follow the sacred example (Sunna) of Mohammed. Mohammed created his POLITICAL capital at Medina (meaning ‘place of governance’).

      Mohammed used Medina as the ‘BASE’ (al qaeda) of his terrorist operations.

      In a few years, the Philippines army will have to enter to arrest all the conspirators.

      This makes me so very sad to hear. But people can shortly use it as an example of why Muslim Palis should never have a State where they are. As if people BELIEVE it would bring any peace for what they will do to non Muslims.

    All wisdom, all experience and all the civil resolves when the West faces islam !!! It is strange. The colonies of the European powers are fallen into the same trap. They lose their resolve even to defend their own self. It appears that the Saudis have plugged every source of mental action of the West against the Wahabi islam. This is going for the last six decades…and the British lead this mindset internationally. No question to islamic criminality and giving a free hand to Pan islamists led by the Sunni Wahabi Arab muslims.
    Now we are reaping the poisonous fruit.
    Let international community decide now.

      Even India has lost its resolve to defend its territory against constant terror attacks from Pakistan. It has not even fired a bullet after the latest Islamic atrocity in Pulwara Kashmir other than make statements of condemnation and going around begging for support from the UN… How pathetic..!! Meanwhile Jehaad continues with even more ferocity… Israel is the only real man in this game!!

    President Duarte… for all his so called toughness has made the biggest blunder in the history of his country by ceding an autonomous region to Muslims. This is now seen as a signal by the rest of the Islamic world that Jehaad indeed yields results in their favor.. if not the full conquest of the infidel host country, at least bite off a big chunk that Islam can claim as its own. Alas Duarte is mistaken that Jehaad will stop. This new autonomous region will become a permanent sore on the flesh of his country just like how Pak and Bangla are to India… It is always a completely losing proposition with Islam unless and until it is completely disinfected out of the host infidel country… a thing India never did in 1947 and still paying a prize today in terms of a permanent hostile foe in the form of Pak and Bangla and India’s own burgeoning Muslim pop that threatens to Trojan it from the inside.

      That part of the Phikippine was rule by muslim as than Islamist state since the 2rh or 13th century. There was no Phulippines government or state back then.

        Feb 25, 2019 at 4:36 pm

        Yes there was it was in the 1530s the Spanish were already there, Islam did not enter into the world before 1400 there was no Islam in the 1300 century. It did not reach the part of Asia until after the Spanish established a government there. It is spelled Philippines a Spanish word by the way, not Arabic .The Philippines is a majority Christian country ,has been one for over 600 years .

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 25, 2019 at 8:50 pm

          WPM–with all respect–Islam has been around for 1400 years, not since the year 1400.

          Islam had indeed infested the southernmost islands of the Philippines by the time the Spanish reached there in the mid-16th century.

          It is *very* unusual that the semi-literate “Brian hoff”–really, “Defenderofislam”–is right about anything, but he is here.

          Muslim Malays got a toehold in the southernmost Philippine islands in the 13th century, and have been oppressing and murdering Infidels there ever since whenever they have had the chance.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 25, 2019 at 8:30 pm

      Yes, Infidel–Duterte only gets tough with drug addicts–he caves in the face of Jihadists. *Ugh*.

    How sad. Pilipinos have just made the biggest mistake since they became an independent nation. In 20 years or less, they will be a full blown “Islamic” Republic, every last provincial island of them.

        Feb 25, 2019 at 8:35 pm

        In what way? He dithered when the Islamic State took over one of the Philippines major cities, then he caved and allowed them to “legally” take over there. He also pals around with Jihad leaders. None of this sounds very “smart” to me.

    Ask Israel how giving Moslems part of its country over to Moslems to run as they see fit has work out over the last 70 years?Ask India has Pakistan been a good peaceful neighbor after its creation 70 years ago by India giving Moslems their own country to rule. ? Was Germany satisfy with only invading Poland in 1939 when Hitler was interested in his words” getting more land” for his expanding master race to live in ?What makes the Philippine government think appeasement of jihadist Moslems will ever be satisfy with giving them their own state to run. The master religion{Islam} wants the whole country the whole world to be occupied and run for the master religion of Islam. Islam has been fighting for control of the Philippines for over 500 years no matter who ruled the country ,they fought the Spanish rulers, American rulers , Japanese rulers , and now elected Philippine rulers. They have been using Jihad and terror as weapons against non-Moslems civilian neighbors for 500 years what makes the current government of the Philippines think that a leopard can change its spots by appeasing the leopard?

      This is not up to date–it is from 2010–but it is one of the few articles I have found that address this at all.

    Gangs have hideouts. Such as “Hole in the Wall.” City gangs do the same thing. They also have “safe houses” where they can go to “lay low” till the heat cools.

    moslims create “no-go zones” in countries where they have invaded, but don’t yet fully run the government. Once they become members of the government in large numbers, they don’t need the no-go zones as much, as they don’t need to retreat after attacks as they do when the police hunt them.

    This island nation has now given these terrorists territory that will not be governed by never moslim people. It is a ‘safe-house,’ a ‘hole in the wall’ from which they can make terror raids, carry out attacks, and then retreat to safety…until they take over the rest of the country.
    If a terrorist leaves home in that territory, and goes to a city, drives a truck into a crowd, or sets of explosives, etc,. and can make it back to his home, the ‘government’ there will protect him from punishment.

    Back in the 90s, the Philippine gov’t made peace with the Moro National Liberation Front….and MNLF officials began administrating southern Mindanao..,No sooner was the ink dry on the agreement than the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) was born….to carry on the Jihad.

    Now the MILF is going to administer southern Mindanao. If they aren’t sufficiently Islamic, Abu Sayaf or another incarnation of the movement will appear. The ultimate goal is the same goal shared by believing Muslims the world over…..to live under “God’s law”…..Sharia.

    Philippines: Jihad leaders sworn in as administrators of a new Muslim autonomous region
    ………………..

    Yes–I’ve been following this story. This is utter insanity–no one should cede their lands to Muslims.

    The will just use this as a base from which to wage Jihad against the rest of the Philippines.

    And what will happen to non-Muslim Filipinos here? Under Islamic law, they will be persecuted.

    The jihad imperative doesn’t end when Muslims establish an autonomous regime. Think when Pakistan was created out of India for Muslims ( not a race of people -they were all Indians) Muslims got what they wanted but the jihad continues in India.( often from Pakistan)

    This better be one of those “Invite them to disarm because they think they’ve won, then invite them to a feast in their honour. Next, lock them in, and burn down the building,” type tactic.

    This same exact thing will occur in Sweden, France, Belgium, England and all of the entire west some sooner than later. I think Sweden France or England will be the first to cut a nice little chunk of land out for the muslimes.
    Since almost all of the men in those countries have waived the white surrender flag they’re desperate to cuck themselves out because diversity is their greatest strength.
