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

Philippines: Muslims murder 14 people in jihad suicide bombings in front of grocery store and computer shop

Aug 25, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

These attacks happen so often, in so many countries around the world, that most people are inured to them. They’re just the way things are. That’s one of the main reasons why they keep happening.

“Twin bombs in Philippines kill at least 14, blamed on Islamic State-linked rebels,” Associated Press, August 24, 2020:

Muslim militants allied with Islamic State set off a powerful motorcycle explosive followed by a suicide bombing that together killed 14 people on Monday, many of them soldiers, in the worst extremist attack in the Philippines this year, military officials said.

At least 75 soldiers, police and civilians were wounded in the midday bombings in Jolo town in southern Sulu province, regional military commander Lieutenant General Corleto Vinluan said. The bombings were staged as the government grapples with the highest number of coronavirus infections in Southeast Asia.

Vinluan said most of the victims, including children, were killed and wounded in the first attack, when a bomb attached to a motorcycle exploded near two parked army trucks in front of a grocery store and computer shop in Jolo.

“It was a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device which exploded while our soldiers were on a marketing run,” Vinluan told reporters.

A second blast, apparently from a female suicide attacker, occurred about an hour later and killed the bomber, a soldier, a police commando and wounded several others, a military report said. The suspected bomber walked out of a snack shop, approached soldiers who were securing a Roman Catholic cathedral and “suddenly blew herself up”.

Snipers were deployed in the area to guard against more bombers as the victims were carried to an ambulance.

A third unexploded bomb was reportedly found in a public market. Jolo was immediately placed in a security lockdown by troops and police….

    Somewhere in the world … EVERY SINGLE DAY… up to 50 people are murdered by JIHADISTS … and yet the mainstream media are virtually silent about those events because they mostly occur in the Third World.

    Black lives don’t matter when they are black African Christians or dark-skinned Hindus murdered by jihadists.

    Western media shield Islamic terrorists from criticism. The great shame of it.

    It appears their plan was go anywhere and as soon as you get near a soldier press the express to Jannah button. Wait a second. It feels like this elevator is going down.

    Then WTF, did the Philippines give these animals their own independent province in 2019. Seems to me that all this has been in vain. It is just like what happened to India in 1947. These mad animals wanted their own land which they ripped off us and formed Pakistan and they are still attacking us.

      Appeasement just emboldens Muslims.

    An important question is “Why are the jihadist bombers, so very, delusional that they actually want to become human bombs? ” Some of the reasons are that such violent and deadly people are the outcome of the extreme brainwashing that is done in Islamic mind programming centers which are more widely known as mosques and madrasas, by the Muslim clerics, such as the imams and in some countries as Afghanistan and Iran also the mullahs. In those Islamic mind programming centers youth are thoroughly indoctrinated into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Koran. as found in 44;54. 55:56. 78:31.., of a sexual/lust filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. First and foremost, those who come out of those places of extreme brainwash are so very warped, sick and deluded that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations”

    Likewise, they are so very damaged that they have literally become dangerous to self and others. In addition, the Bible does warn about false teachers who ingrain a belief in a doctrine of a story of a /lustful/lust-filled place with much sex in it. For the Bible warns about false teachers, the Muslim clerics do fit this description, in Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a jihad –minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false doctrine and false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Mathew 22:29, 30. In contrast to the delusional Islamic pipe-dream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]

    Islamic followers are killers, rapist, slave owners, pedophiles, wife beaters and just evil persons. Why in the hell would you want these islamic people visiting, immigrating, or being brought in as refuges to your Home or country? I for one would really like to know the reasoning and answer to that question. Its kind of like inviting the DEVIL.
