Philippines: Islamic schools investigated for recruitment of jihad suicide bombers

Oct 15, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

This would be no surprise. This verse is in the Qur’ans studied at madrassas: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (9:111)

“AFP looking into possible involvement of Islamic schools in recruitment of suicide bombers,” ABS-CBN News, October 13, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

MANILA – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is looking into the possible involvement of some Madrasah, or Islamic schools in the country in the radicalization and alleged recruitment of suicide bombers, its chief said Tuesday.

“You know, the Madrasas and other schools in Sulu, we are monitoring them really, where we suspected there is some sort of radicalization activities going on,” AFP Chief Gen. Gilbert Gapay said in an online briefing organized by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (FOCAP.

“We are looking now, coordinating with DepEd, looking into different schools, particularly in Sulu and other parts of Mindanao because it is one of the institutions or areas where recruitment is occurring, particularly in the youth (sector),” the military chief added.

Gapay said the military has taken steps to enhance its program to prevent and counter violent extremism, saying the involvement of Filipinos in suicide bombing incidents was an “eye opener.”

As well, the military is coordinating with other government agencies to prevent the recruitment of the youth, he said.

Gapay said social media is one platform also being used by terrorists to recruit members, based on accounts by those who have surrendered to authorities.

“We have found out some of those who surrendered and captured, quite a number of them, have been recruited and radicalized through the social media,” said Gapay.

According to him, a whole-of-nation approach has to be adopted in order to counter terrorism in the country.

“The military side will come in after. It’s on the reactive already when terrorists are identified and due for neutralization. But the larger part of effort would be for the preventive side of it, preventing the youth and some people to get recruited, preventing foreign terrorists slipping into our country, preventing other local terrorists slipping out of the country and getting deployed in Syria or Afghanistan,” said Gapay.

The military has recorded five suicide bombing incidents in the country in a span of two years, taking place in Sulu and Basilan provinces. The most recent was on Aug. 24 in Jolo, Sulu which left 17 people dead, including two suicide bombers, and injured 74 others….

    What the West calls “radicalisation” – espousing violence – is actually basic Islamic teaching.

      “Islam is not Christianity …Islam is the religion of agitation, revolution, blood, liberation and martyrdom” – Shaikh M Mathari

      “Those who are against killing have no place in Islam. If the survival of the Faith requires the shedding of blood, we are there to perform our duty” – Ayatollah Sadegh Khalkhali, IRI Judge

      “Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” – Ayatollah Khomeini

        “Islam is the religion of agitation, revolution, blood, liberation and martyrdom”

        So it’s not a ‘religion’ at all because ‘agitation, revolution, blood, liberation’ is the business of political movements – which, of course, is exactly what Mohammed’s so-called ‘religion’ was all about from the word ‘go’; except that bona fide political movements usually have a some kind of coherent political agenda whereas Mohammed’s ‘agenda’ was a plagiarised pseudo-religious fraudulent front to validate his personal political-imperialist motives. Which might also explain the rather curious islamic idea of ‘martyrdom’ where the ‘martyr’ apparently aims to take out as many others wilt him as possible whether or not they had the slightest desire to be ‘martyrs’. I believe that the Japanese kamikaze fraternity had a similar philosophy although the Third Reich seemed to be able to decimate ‘inferior’ populations without necessarily losing their own operatives.

    As a results of the Qu ‘ran based Islamic mind programming harm done in the mosques , madrasas and home there appears to be no end to the number of brainwashed and delusional jihadist/Muslims who are literally dangerous to self and others because of the deadly and destructive religion that is Islam.

    For the Qu’ran and hadith false religion story /doctrine of a paradise that contains many virgins for the male Muslim “martyr” who dies for the cause of Islam.

    Such Islamic story doctrines inspires much murder and mayhem which is very tragic and sad.

    Those deceptive religious fables of Islam do much harm. It’s been warned against in the Bible not to be beguiled by fables , no matter how desirable and enticing those fables may be. For in the scripture it warns against giving “heed to fables..”First Timothy 1:4. [N.K.J.V.]

    In addition the Bible had predicted the coming of places in which false teachers thoroughly indoctrinate false fables into the hearts and minds of many people .

    As Second Timothy 4 3,4 informs the reader “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according to their own desires ,because they have itching ears , they will heap to themselves teachers ; and they will their ears away from the truth, be be turned unto fables.”

    In great contrast to those fable deluded Muslims ,Christians have the reality of the knowledge of the power of Jesus. As Second Peter 1:16 reads ‘For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…”

    Muslims recognize Jesus as genuine,, real prophet The point is that the teaching of Jesus is in strong contrast and contradiction to the jihadist belief that if he will have “a wedding with the virgins in a paradise” if he dies in a specific way fighting for Islam.

    For Jesus taught “”You are mistaken , not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage…”Matthew 22::29, 30. [N.K.J.V.]

      The role of the Muslim “Jesus”–(“prophet Isa”)–is to murder Christians in the last days.
