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

Philippines: Islamic scholars invoke the Qur’an in opposing law forbidding child marriage

Nov 24, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 16 Comments

No surprise here. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry. “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq […]

Philippines: 48-year-old Muslim marries 13-year-old girl

Philippines’ largest Muslim organization slams Armed Forces chief for calling for monitoring of Islamic schools

Oct 22, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 15 Comments

This call by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is a sensible and effective one which should be implemented not only in the Philippines, but in all nations that are seeking to curb the spread of the jihad ideology. The outrage over this call from the National Ulama Cooperation of the Philippines (NUCP) is […]

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 […]

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 […]

Philippines: Muslims ask that anti-terror law be dropped, say it’s “based in unfounded fear of Muslims”

Aug 6, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Same playbook all over the world: counterterror measures are “Islamophobic” and must be scrapped. The result of that will be more jihad terrorism. Is that what these Muslim groups want? “Muslim lawmakers, imam ask Supreme Court to junk anti-terror law,” by Nicole-Anne C. Lagrimas, GMA News, August 4, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): […]

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 […]

Philippines: Muslims murder two policemen, injure two others

Jun 16, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This happened in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. The jihadis got an autonomous region for Muslims, and yet still were not satisfied. Yet when this was being negotiated, those who counseled caution were dismissed as “Islamophobes.” “2 Filipino policemen killed in terrorist attack,” PM News, June 14, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of […]

Philippines President to Muslims on Eid al-Fitr: May you be “living examples of what is best in the Islamic faith”

May 25, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Be careful what you wish for, Mr. President. You might get it. You can only hope that those Muslims who heard your message don’t consider these Qur’an passages part of what is best in the Islamic faith. However, they do come from the perfect book, the eternal word of Allah. “And kill them wherever you […]

May 4, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Last week marked the beginning of Ramadan, a religious festival which Muslim communities all over the world observe as a month of prayer, fasting and spending time with family.” — The Evening Standard What might prayer and fasting lead to in a context in which the deity commands his followers to “kill them wherever you […]

Philippines: Muslims explode bomb outside cathedral during Sunday Mass just before Christmas

Pope Francis is doubtless on his way to Cotabato right now, in order to explain to these Muslims that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” “ASIA/PHILIPPINES – Terrorist violence on Christmas eve: attack in front of the Cathedral,” Agenzia Fides, December 23, 2019 (thanks to […]

Philippines: Muslim group suspected in kidnapping of couple from beach resort, as Islamic State rises in the country

Oct 10, 2019 11:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A 70-year-old British man and his Filipino wife have been kidnapped from their beach resort in the Philippines by an armed gang, police have said.” The couple were “seized at gunpoint and dragged across the beach, where they were taken on two motorised boats.” The incident raises concerns about the resurgence of Abu Sayyaf, an […]

Indonesia: Husband, wife jihad suicide bombers underwent government-sponsored deradicalization program

Jul 26, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“An Indonesian husband and wife who had taken part in a government-sponsored deradicalization program are believed to be the masterminds of a suicide bombing of a Roman Catholic cathedral in the southern Philippines earlier this year that killed more than 20 people.” 102 others were injured. This is striking, since Indonesia’s Minister of Justice and […]

Philippines: Authorities surprised by Filipino jihad suicide bomber, thought suicide bombing “against local culture”

Jul 3, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Confirmation that the attack involved a Filipino would mark a major escalation in terror tactics in the Southeast Asian nation, where authorities had long said suicide bombings went against local culture, analysts said.” This is yet another illustration of the cost of authorities’ refusal to consider Islam as a motivating factor behind such phenomena as […]

Philippines: Islamic State murders five in jihad suicide bombings at military camp

Jun 30, 2019 11:02 am By Robert Spencer

It is illegitimate in Islamic theology for Muslims to be ruled by non-Muslims. Islam must dominate, and not be dominated. So the drive to create a Muslim homeland in the Philippines, and then to continue the jihad until the Philippines is entirely Islamic, cannot be ended by negotiations and concessions, contrary to the conventional wisdom. […]

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 […]

Australian judge: Muslims who plotted to overthrow Philippine government have “good prospects for rehabilitation”

Mar 12, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Why does he think that? What will be done while they are in prison to disabuse them of their jihadist and Islamic supremacist sentiments? Nothing, of course. To do anything of that kind would be “Islamophobic.” “Melbourne men sentenced over ‘poorly planned’ plot to overthrow government in the Philippines,” by Karen Percy, ABC.net.au, February 22, […]
