The Philippines’ armed forces eliminated nine Islamic terrorists, including two involved in last month’s bombing of a Catholic mass in southern city of Marawi. On December 3, four worshipers were killed and over 50 were injured after a bomb went off at a Catholic service being held inside a university campus.
The terrorists killed by the military belonged to Daulah Islamiyah, a Philippines-based terrorist group affiliated to the Islamic State. The Philippines, despite being overwhelmingly Catholic, suffers from Islamic terrorism in its Muslim-dominated southern region. Islamic terror groups such as the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) have been waging jihad warfare against country’s peaceful Christian population.
Marawi city, where the last month’s bombing took place, witnessed a deadly siege in 2017 by Islamic terrorists, which took around 1,000 innocent lives. “The Marawi siege was carried out by the Islamic State-linked Maute group, a pro-Islamic State faction of the Abu Sayyaf group and other smaller Islamic State-linked groups,” the Japanese newspaper Nikkei noted December 5. “The fighting killed some 1,000 people and was Islamic State’s most serious push to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia, unsettling governments across the region.”
“Philippine troops kill nine Islamist militants,” Reuters, January 27, 2024:
Government troops killed nine members of a pro-Islamic State group in the southern Philippines, the military said on Saturday, including two suspects in a deadly blast at a Catholic Mass last month.
Four soldiers were wounded during Thursday and Friday’s counter terrorism operation in the Lanao del Sur province, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said in a statement, but all are in stable condition.
Those killed were members of Daulah Islamiyah, the AFP said, a pro-Islamic State militant group that took control of the southern Marawi city in 2017 and held it through five months of ground offensives and air strikes by the military.
Among those killed were the two named suspects in the Dec. 3 bombing in a university gymnasium in Marawi that killed at least four people and injured 50 others.

Philippine troops eliminate 9 terrorists.
Shame it wasn’t a lot more, still, well done guys!

Nothing will change while Anglo American patronage of Islamic terror continues, confirmed by senior government official sources. The main Gulf funders of global Islamic terror are also mostly US colonies or vassal, led by Qatar. Pakistan also remains a U.S. pawn and its terrorism occurs with US approval.
Let’s not kid ourselves,
Gurek says
Let’s not forget that today’s Wahhabi-Salafi jihadist Saudi Arabia was founded by the Biritish. Before that, the area was ruled by the Ottoman Empire which was reforming itself. The religious fanatics opposed this reformation and the Wahhabi Arabs started a bloody rebellion against the Ottomans with the help of the British. That’s what we got today, the ISIS Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
SJ says
The Ottoman Empire was reforming itself? There are too many examples of that “empire” of conquering and genocide to list here but there is one I’ll list. What can you say about the Armenian Genocide that Turkey has refused to admit? What about the current and THIRD genocide of the Christian Armenians being carried out by Azerbaijan and Turkey right now?
https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/armenian-genocide
1st genocide – Between 1894-1896
2nd genocide – 1908 The Young Turks ( there is a Turk currently on YouTube with a channel of such name. Is he glorifying the second genocide? In my opinion- probably)
1914 Turks entered WW1 on the side of Germany & Austro- Hungarian Empire. (At the same time the Ottomans religious authorities declared a holy war against all Christians except their allies.)
April 1915 the genocide begins First started with the Turkish government arresting & executing 100s of Armenian intellectuals. After that, ordinary Armenians were taken from their homes and forced on death marches through the desert without food or water.
Often they were stripped of their clothes under the hot sun until they dropped dead, those that stopped to rest were shot.
At the same time, the Young Turks created a “Special Organization” which organized killing squads to carry out “the liquidation of Christian elements.” These squads drowned people, threw them off cliffs, crucified people and burned them alive. Records show during this time that the squads kidnapped children, converted them to Islam and gave them to Turkish families. In some places they raped women and forced them to join Turkish “harems” or serve as slaves. MUSLIM FAMILIES MOVED INTO THE HOMES OF deported Armenians and seized their property. (The Armenians were better educated & wealthier than their Turkish neighbors, who in turn grew to resent their success.
When the war against the Armenians began there were about 2 million Armenians. In 1922, when the genocide was over there were 388,000 remaining in the Ottoman Empire.
Aftermath & Legacy
After the Ottomans surrendered in 1918, the leaders of the Young Turks fled to Germany, which promised not to prosecute for genocide.
If one examines this further you’ll find that the Armenian genocide & Holocaust have much in common. It’s been said that the Germans and Muslims were convinced that they could get away with the Holocaust because the Turks did with the Armenian genocide. One also might want to remember that the Mufti of Jerusalem & Hitler and how Hitler paid him to wipe out Jews in Arab lands. The mufti also recruited 20,000 Muslims into Germany to work as SS! There are photos of the mufti in what is said to be an advising role for Hitler, as well as his top ranked Nazis. Too bad the British refused to prosecute the Muslims complicit in war crimes in WWII (which is hard to understand since the Islamic countries were all sided with Germany in both WWI & WWII) but instead released Islamic terror groups throughout the world and introduced them to each other. jewishvirtuallibrary.org Yes, you heard that right. So the next time you hear from Muslims of how their society doesn’t do what the “evil West” does you’ll have one point of reference.

Great history knowledge there! And therefore, that is why I, along with others, believe that the President of Turkey, Erdogan, is a very likely choice for having the label of “Antichrist”, put upon him. Of course, no one will know, until halfway through the 7 year Tribulation period, which hasn’t started yet, but becomes closer every day. I can’t imagine a better pick though.
And so, with the mention of this 7 year timeframe, I was shown, on the last day that Trump was president, of when and how, this 7 year Tribulation will come. Trump HAS TO come back, and finish what he started. And not a single person, can pick it up, and finish it for him. Of course, he’ll have his hand full, for a while, doing what he said he would do, on his first day of office, and that is, deportation of thousands of illegals in this country!

Thank you for the excellent history lesson. I was aware of some of this information since I live in a city in Central California with a large Armenian population. However, I think most Americans, and perhaps most of the world, are ignorant on this subject. Just as they are about the history of “Palestine” and the Jews.

It is not like this is anything new. Muslim savagery has existed in the Philippines for a long time. A movie was done about it back in 1939 with the setting being 1906 Philippines. Muslim Moro guerrillas are terrorizing the people by raiding villages, killing the men, and carrying off the women and children for slaves. Gosh, that doesn’t sound familiar /s.The name of the movie is The Real Glory. The movie was made back in the day when Hollywood valued authenticity in movies such as this.

Thank You for posting that link!

You are welcome joanofark06, glad to be of service.

The link I posted doesn’t start at the beginning (you have to scroll back) to where it says, “This movie is dedicated to those heroic men, members of the Philippine constabulary, always outnumbered never outfought.” Sorry, my bad.
tgusa says
Look it up on Wikipedia ( I know but they got it right) for once.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Glory
“The US War Department withdrew the film in 1942. The Moros were US allies in World War II, and the film had inflammatory scenes including threatening a Muslim prisoner with burial wrapped in a pig skin.”
Threatening a Muslim prisoner with burial wrapped in a pig skin. Yeah, so?
Same old shiite, different day. So this stupid crap has been going a long for a long time.
tgusa says
Fighting muslims since 1802. The Tripoli pirates of 1802. Fast forward to 2024, pirates out of Africa once again. The dates change but nothing about them changes very much. So predictable and yet somehow the West has forgotten the past. But, as can be recounted again and again, throughout history, same stuff, same tactics, same guys. There is really no doubt about what they are and always have been about. I hope its not too late when non muslims of today figure out what had already been figured out.
SJ says
Thanks for this and the video!
tgusa says
Sure thing SJ.

The terrorists occupied and held a town for four months? The Philippine military is weaker than I thought.
oren says
Will muslims live in peace with the nation of the philipines when the palestinians get their nation? Or should we conclude that the media in america and europe are lying about the muslims, lying about the security risk they represent to the Jews of Israel? In G-d I trust.
