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

Philippines: Muslims wound at least 18 with jihad blast at restaurant in mostly Christian city

Apr 5, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Clearly the Philippine government’s hopes that giving the Muslims of the South an autonomous region would bring peace have proven hollow. As was inevitable. The jihad imperative is not satisfied with one autonomous region. It demands the entire world: “Fight them until religion is all for Allah” (Qur’an 8:39).

“Blast wounds at least 18 at restaurant in southern Philippines,” Reuters, April 4, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):

MANILA (Reuters) – A bomb exploded at a restaurant in the southern Philippines on Wednesday, wounding at least 18 people in a suspected revenge attack by a militant group, security officials said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast in the mostly Christian city of Isulan on the southern island of Mindanao, a region troubled by banditry and armed rebellions.

The bombing was suspected to be in retaliation for the killing of Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), a pro-Islamic State group, by government troops, Major General Cirilito Sobejana said….

Government forces have in recent months pursued members of the small pro-Islamic state militant group in central Mindanao. The BIFF was blamed for a blast in August and another bombing in September in Isulan that killed five people and wounded dozens.

Islamist militants operate in the south of the largely Christian country and some are known to have links with groups abroad, including al Qaeda and Islamic State.

    This vicious jihad bomb attack which occurred in the Philippines serves as a fitting time go over one of the definitions of Terrorism is the terrorism is “The use of violence for the achievement of political ends which is common to state and non- state groups.”

    Therefore, Islam with its Islamic terrorism actually fits within this definition. As difficult and hard as this might be for some Westerners, especially Americans, to comprehend and understand. For example, many Americans do strongly understand the concept of the “separation of religion and state.”
    For Islam is a religious/ political /Sharia law based system that had total and complete control over the thoughts values , lives , behavior of millions of people around the world. This also included the use of violence to achieve the advancement of the power of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Quran does strangely instructs, as in Surah 2:191, 5:33. 9:5, 111, 47:4.

    So the above definition of “non- state group” describes Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters [BIFF], al Qaeda, Boko Haram , Al Shabaab, etc.

    For the definition of “state” terrorism the rough state of Iran serve as good example , is i his Islamic terrors it inflects on the Iranian people though is violent ruffians gangs of Islamic state “police” who are called the “Revolutionary Guards.” Furthermore , the state “mullah regime “ of Iran also funds ,supports and uses in violent and murderous Muslim stooge jihad groups and Hezbollah and Hamas to achieve its religious /political agenda . So indeed Islam is political and with its violence fits the above definition.
    Islam is in essence, a religious /political Sharia law based system. As so well explained in brief way, by the Muslim tyrant who and ruled Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini when he stated that “All Islam is politics.” [1]

    Ha.. the new autonomous Islamic enclave will become a permanent sore on the feet of the Philippines.. a never ending sore like Pakistan and Bangladesh is for India.. It was the biggest mistake by the Filipinos…. Nothing good comes out of negotiating with Muslims for the Khafir.

    Too bad Michelle Malkin — a Filippina born in Manila before being adopted by a Russian-American Jewish couple — should comment on the “trade off” of the Mindnao Island for peace. Her heritage would lend credibility and at the same time introduce this major news story to the American media.

    Wait, Michelle can’t comment on that. Not on Fox News, at least. She does that an she’ll never appear on that TV channel again. Let’s call it the Judge Janine Factor. Yeah I know the Judge is back but she’s learned her lesson to never discuss Islam in any serious way again.

    No way would Michelle keep her mouth shut. She knows about Islam. She’d be off FNC forever.

      WTF are you talking about? Michelle Malkin was born in Philadelphia of immigrant parents from the Philippines. Stop making up lies. Sheesh.

      Michelle Malkin actually *has* written and spoken about Jihad in the Philippines numerous times (I don’t know off-hand if she has done so on FOX or not).

      Here are just a couple of these stories:

      “Ten Dead, 120 Injured in Manila Mall Bombing”

      http://michellemalkin.com/2007/10/21/ten-dead-120-injured-in-manila-mall-bombing/

      “Is The Philippines Sabotaging the War on Terror Again?”

      http://michellemalkin.com/2004/10/04/is-the-philippines-sabotaging-the-war-on-terror-again/

      And Angela is right–Malkin was born in the US to Philippine parents, who also raised her. She is not adopted.

    They rode in, did the damage, and rode away to their safe houses where they will “hole up” until time for the next terror attack.

    moslims won’t stop killing and raping and stealing and complaining and lying…until there are no more moslims to do the murdering, raping, stealing, complaining and lying for their fake ‘god’ and for their “wild beast.” When the “wild beast” and the “false prophet” are thrown into the “lake of fire,” there will be no more of this behavior for satan.

    Giving in to Muslim demands always fails to satisfy them. The Philippine government’s thinks that it can buy the Muslims off and get reasonable co-operation from them by giving the Muslims of the South an autonomous region. This brings no peace. Mohammed and the Jihad imperative demands that Muslims: “Fight them until religion is all for Allah” (Qur’an 8:39).

      This is a done and dusted thing. Well India tried to buy peace to the rioting and mass murdering Muslims in 1947 by giving them 33% of their lands…(maybe the best and most fertile parts).. lands that have become today’s Pak and Bangla and yet peace with these 2 garbage can nations, esp with Pak, is as elusive as sighting the moon in harsh daylight…..The year Pak was formed in 1947, THE VERY NEXT F-ing year, they started their endless terrorist attacks on India and which continues to this day. Now the dispute is Kashmir and Pak says that it wants Kashmir and once India cedes it, peace will prevail. But even if India gives Pak, Jehaad will never end. The goal as always is complete destruction of Hindu India…
