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

Philippines: Muslim cleric among three jihad terrorists who surrender to authorities

Jun 20, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Note the Philippine News Agency’s quotation marks around “imam” in their headline, conveying that they don’t think he is a real imam at all, for he has twisted and hijacked the true, peaceful teachings of Islam. But while authorities all over the free world take for granted that Islam is a religion of peace and that jihad terrorists are misunderstanding their own religion, they never explain why all the jihadis misunderstand it in the same way, and why so many Muslim clerics, men who have dedicated their lives to understanding Islam correctly, get it so drastically wrong. Could it be that Islam is not really a religion of peace at all? Nah, that would be “Islamophobic.”

“Abu Sayyaf ‘Imam’, 2 others surrender in Sulu,” by Teofilo Garcia, Jr., Philippine News Agency, June 19, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ZAMBOANGA CITY – An Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) “Imam” and two others have surrendered to the government through joint efforts of the Civil-Military Operation (CMO) and intelligence operation in the province of Sulu, an official said Friday.

Maj. Arvin John Encinas, Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) spokesperson, said the Imam and his two companions surrendered at the Forward Operating Base of the 45th Infantry Battalion (45IB) in Barangay Tugas, Patikul, Sulu on Wednesday.

Encinas was unable to divulge the identities of the three ASG surrenderers, citing security reasons.

    WHAT???
    So, let me get this straight, 3 terrorists, who have been fighting the government for years just turn up at the front gate of a military base and say we surrender!! WTF???
    Somethings not right here, given everything that I have been taught about Islamists and everything I was taught in the army, something stinks.
    The best thing the Philippine army can do is put them straight against a wall and bury them with pigs.

      Keith, the Philippines are always giving amnesty or partial amnesty to Jihad terrorists. I imagine this is more of the same.

    Few more peaceful things from Koran
    1) Earth is not sphere it’s Flat😂😂
    2)Allah sits on seventh sky?might be
    a)but Allah has no shape so pardon me who sits on seventh sky?
    b)Allah sent a half donkey half woman kind of creature to Mohammad and called him on seventh sky?
    c)so Mohammad went to seventh sky on that creature and according to them it was flying more than the speed of light?
    d)if Allah is shapeless whom did Mohammad meet 🤔
    e)What did Allah tell him means Allah can speak?
    3)Fact:Mohammad was illiterate, then who wrote the Koran
    4)If Mohammad could write then where is His handwritten Koran
    5)Allah is telling Mohammad that I control this universe
    a)Then why could he not write Koran by himself?
    6)Koran doesn’t mention about Hijab then why do they wear Hijab
    List is very long I asked one of the guy he didn’t give me any reply of this but told me I deserve to be killed as I am anti-Islam but I asked simple questions from their book
