It is virtually certain that no authorities in the Philippines, or anywhere else, are investigating how and why this understanding of Islam is so prevalent worldwide and so persistent, and why the true, peaceful Islam that non-Muslim officials around the world assume exists is unable to withstand challenge from this supposedly twisted, hijacked version. “Philippine […]
Philippines: Nine cops accused of involvement in killing of four Army officers who were hunting for ISIS jihadis
No one would have dared question, when these police officers were hired, what their views were of Islam, jihad, and the infidel.

Philippines: Muslim teens spray church with bullets
The “Islamic State-linked Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters” (BIFF) is mostly comprised of teens, and has been rising in influence in the Philippines. Westerners forget that children are targets of recruitment to wage jihad against disbelievers and can be just as indoctrinated, trained and dedicated to the jihad as adults. They are repeatedly told that to […]
‘We in the Armed Forces of the Philippines believe that Islam espouses peace above all matters’
Can Gilbert Gapay explain exactly how “Islam is a religion that espouses peace above all matters”?

UN General Assembly adopts Pakistan’s anti-blasphemy resolution in the name of ‘intercultural dialogue’
The resolution was co-sponsored by the Philippines, a country that has repeatedly been targeted in jihad attacks. It is founded upon the “promotion of inter-religious and intercultural dialogue.” The most absurd aspect of this is that the resolution purports to be about “the promotion of inter-religious and intercultural dialogue, tolerance, understanding and cooperation.” Pakistan regularly […]

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

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