Philippines: Islamic State murders five in jihad suicide bombings at military camp
Jun 30, 2019 11:02 am By Robert Spencer 16 Comments
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.

“Islamic State claims bombing that k**led five on Jolo island in southern Philippines,” Agence France-Presse, June 29, 2019:

Police in the Philippines have boosted security in Manila following a bombing at a military camp in the country’s troubled south, an official said on Saturday.

Five people were k**led and 12 wounded in the attack on an army camp in Indanan town in Sulu province, 1,000km south of the capital, on Friday….

The military said the kidnap-for-ransom group and IS-affiliate Abu Sayyaf was probably behind the midday blast on the island of Jolo.

Islamic State claimed the bombing was the work of two suicide attackers, according to tweets from Rita Katz, the director of SITE Intelligence Group which monitors extremist activities worldwide.

The country is home to numerous armed groups, several of which are linked to the decades-old insurgency aiming to create a Muslim homeland in the Christian-majority nation’s deep south….

Three members of the military unit were k**led and nine others were wounded, while two civilians – a male tricycle driver and female street vendor – also died in the attack, said army spokesman Colonel Ramon Zagala….

Detailed Report
Reasoning: Extreme Right, Propaganda, Conspiracy, Poor Sourcing, H**e Group
Country: USA
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 48/180

History

Founded in 2003, Jihad Watch is an anti-Muslim conspiracy blog affiliated with the David Horowitz Freedom Center, run by blogger Robert Spencer, it has been described as one of the main homes of the anti-Islamic Counter-jihad movement on the internet. It has been repeatedly criticized by numerous academics who believe that it promotes an Islamophobic worldview and conspiracy theories. According to their FAQ page “Jihad Watch is an attempt to raise awareness about the activities of the global jihadists.”

Funded by / Ownership

The owner of the website is Robert Spencer who is affiliated with the 501c3 nonprofit David Horowitz Freedom Center. As of 2010, Robert Spencer was paid a salary of $132,000 by the David Horowitz Freedom Center to run the website. The Horowitz Center is funded by multiple donors including the strongly right leaning Bradley Foundation. The Jihad Watch website is funded through donations and advertising.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Jihad Watch holds an extreme right anti-Islam viewpoint. The main purpose of Jihad Watch is to portray Muslims in a negative light that often points toward violent tendencies such as this: Canada fights “h**e”, while jihadist sign threatening “massacre of Jews” flaunted at Toronto al-Quds Day rally and this, in which they seem to advocate for a fight against Islam: Can Islam Be Defeated? This propaganda piece is sourced to both the Bible and Quran as evidence. When it comes to sourcing, they use a variety of sources, some which are credible and others which are not, such as Breitbart. In general, all stories on Jihad Watch serve as propaganda to frame Muslims negatively, while portraying Christians/Americans as persecuted and in danger.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled Robert Spencer a White Nationalist, while the Anti-Defamation League has done the same. Robert Spencer is also the co-founder of Stop Islamization of America with Pamela Geller, which is considered a h**e group.

A factual search reveals numerous failed fact checks by IFCN fact checkers.


Sweden has begun referring to “Christmas” as “Winter Celebration” in to appease their Muslim population.FALSE

Maine’s House Democrats v**ed to allow female g*****l m********n.FALSE

Somali Muslim refugees “took over” the small town of Shelbyville, Tennessee and targeted local Christians with “violent Islamic crimes”.FALSE

“House Democrats strike to implement Sharia law!!”Pants on Fire

Overall, we rate Jihad Watch a Questionable source based on Extreme Right bias, promotion of propaganda and conspiracies, use of poor sources, numerous failed fact checks and links to individuals associated with h**e groups

History

Founded in 2002, The Religion of Peace (TROP) is a website that reports on the negative aspect of Islam. According to The Religion of Peace about page they are “a pluralistic, non-partisan site concerned with Islam’s political and religious teachings according to its own texts. The purpose is to counter whitewashing and explain the threat that Islam truly poses to human dignity and freedom, as well as the violence and dysfunction that ensues as a direct consequence of this religion’s s*********t ideology.” The editor of TROP is Glen Roberts. We cannot find much information on Glen Roberts and suspect this may be a pseudonym.

Funded by / Ownership

The website does not clearly disclose ownership. Revenue is generated through advertising and donations.

Analysis / Bias

In review, The Religion of Peace promotes anti-Muslim propaganda through only posting negative information about Islam, such as crimes that may not be related to ones religion, such as this where they link to a Mixed factual source. On the homepage they keep a running count of terror attacks as well as people k**led by Muslims in what they call the Jihad Report. Along the right side of the page they publish curated news from a variety of sources. Some of these sources are on our questionable or conspiracy list such as Breitbart, Daily Mail, and MEMRI. However, for the most part most of the news links to credible right and left leaning sources such as the BBC and local newspapers, with the common theme of reporting negative news regarding Muslims. The Religion of Peace also sources Robert Spencer in articles, who is on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s h**e list.

Overall, we rate The Religion of Peace as Questionable for having an extreme right wing bias, promotion of conspiracy/propaganda, lack of t***sparency and h**e group tendencies

The purpose is to counter whitewashing and explain the threat that Islam truly poses to human dignity and freedom, as well as the violence and dysfunction that ensues as a direct consequence of this religion's s*********t ideology.

Islam is not defined by anyone's opinion, but by the Quran, Hadith and Sira. These historical texts are readily available in the information age, meaning that anyone can go straight to the source from any referenced article on this site.

While apologists of Islam generally use fragments of Quran verses, weaker hadith (Islam's version of "f**e news") and contemporary opinion to lower Western defenses, TROP explains the context, cites early biographers, and posts references to those Hadith collections deemed most reliable (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and Abu Dawud).

TROP is not associated with any organization. The site does not promote any religion, but it is not hostile to religion. We generally support the rights of atheists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, women, consenting adults, Muslims and anyone else on the planet to live as they wish without violating the rights of others.

TheReligionofPeace.com strongly condemns any attempt to harm or harass any Muslim anywhere in the world over their religion. Every person is entitled to be treated as an individual and judged only by his or her own words and deeds (see About Muslims).

TROP also denounces any act of vandalism against mosques or other property, including juvenile attempts to offend Muslims by desecrating copies of the Quran. (The best way of discrediting the Quran is to tell non-Muslims what it actually says about them).

The world we share is at a critical moment. After holding back Muslim conquests for 1400 years, Western borders are being thrown open to an irreversible flow of migration from the Islamic world. At the same time, important questions about Islam are being stigmatized and deliberately mischaracterized as "bigotry."

One reason is that many Muslims get offended when their religion is questioned, and this seems like a bad thing. Another is the false conflating of persons with ideology. Most Muslims are obviously not bad people. Most are "like us." The lazy conclusion is that "true" Islam must not be significantly different or dangerous.

But, tolerance doesn't mean denying t***h. Our culture has benefited greatly from the freedom to criticize dogma. Holding Islam to a different standard not only risks hard-fought social progress, but denies an Age of Enlightenment to those desperately in need of it. The mere fact that Islam requires special protection from scrutiny proves how necessary it really is.

The main purpose of this site is to challenge the assumption that all religion is the same, which is easily belied by common sense. Over 99% of religiously-motivated terror is committed explicitly in the name of this one faith. How can that be if it is just like all the others?

How is that we so often hear of converts to Islam turning to terror, but never the same with converts from Islam? Why are only ex-Muslims k**led? If 'ignorance of Islam' is the culprit, then why don't other religions have this problem, and why there are so many Islamic clerics, imams and preachers actively involved in terror cells and recruitment across the globe?

Lift the cloak of religion and it becomes obvious that there is a tremendous amount of social dysfunction tied to Islam's core texts and teachings. Polls show that large minorities - or even majorities - in the Islamic world approve of amputations, stonings, violence in defense of Islam, and draconian rules prohibiting other religions equal rights and freedom.

Acts of discrimination, h**e and terror that would be shocking in the name of any other faith are so commonplace in the Muslim world that it barely registers in Western media. The very fact that the bar of expectation is set so low for "the Religion of Peace" underscores just how different it really is.

No one uses the term "self-radicalization" with any other faith or attaches an "ism" to the end (Islamism) to project false hope that the "real thing" is something other than what it appears. Islam is the only ideology, religious or otherwise, in which critics are bullied into silence and told they have a "phobia" (or are "r****t" for challenging a s*********t religion that speaks far worse of them, along with everyone else outside the group identity).

Yet, where Islam dominates, there is systematic discrimination and oppression of non-believers. Where Muslims are a minority, there is a trend toward peevish self-interest and eventual violence when demands for special privilege and entitlements are not met. No other religion is so demanding of respect while doing so little to earn it.

Rather than great humanitarian accomplishment or true peace, Islam appears to breed arrogance and self-absorption: the collective petulance, narcissism and perpetual grievance that broadly characterizes Muslim populations. Hinduism has very little in common with Western religion, for example, yet Hindus generally assimilate and contribute positively to host countries while Muslim migration is accompanied by social strain and a net budgetary loss.

It is hard to deny Islam's remarkable unwillingness to extend equal moral consideration to those outside of the faith. More innocent lives were snuffed out in just two hours by devout Muslims on 9/11 than by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire 145-year history (source), yet, there was never one massed protest against Osama bin Laden in the entire Muslim world (many actually condemned his k*****g). No matter how atrocious the act perpetrated in the name of Allah, it is always followed by rhetorical distraction and claims of victimization.

Should we be surprised to find that this disregard for others is rooted in the s*********t ideology of the Quran and Sharia? These texts unashamedly draw the sharpest distinction between those within the group of believers and those outside - toward whom arbitrary denigration is cast and hatred, harsh treatment and eternal punishment is prescribed. It isn't the victims who need lessons in tolerance and understanding - it is the Islamic world.

Islam is more than just a different sort of religion. It is a rigid political and cultural system with a mandate to conquer and govern the lives of others via necessary force "until religion is only for Allah." The enemy of this orthodoxy is not just intellectual dissent and free speech, but human freedom. The divine charter of Islam is to impose itself and thus prevent the individual from discovering a different meaning for their own lives.

Rather than make the West a "safe space" for Islam, we should be challenging Muslims to make Islam safe for the world. Until then, it is not in our interest to accommodate that which has no intention of accommodating us. Neither should we assist the expansion within our borders of a religion that is consistently incapable of building countries in which even Muslims themselves want to live.

Tolerance is a good thing, but not when we allow it to be used cynically against us by those who have no use for it once they obtain power. We need to throw out political correctness and embrace critical thinking.

The t***h is that Islam is not like other religion and it is certainly not a religion of peace. Sometimes the t***h isn't comfortable. Sometimes the t***h offends. But it is far better that we offend others with the t***h than lose our own freedom.

TheReligionofPeace.com (TROP) is a pluralistic, non-partisan site concerned with Islam's political and religious teachings according to its own texts. The purpose is to counter whitewashing and explain the threat that Islam truly poses to human dignity and freedom, as well as the violence and dysfunction that ensues as a direct consequence of this religion's s*********t ideology.

Islam is not defined by anyone's opinion, but by the Quran, Hadith and Sira. These historical texts are readily available in the information age, meaning that anyone can go straight to the source from any referenced article on this site.

While apologists of Islam generally use fragments of Quran verses, weaker hadith (Islam's version of "f**e news") and contemporary opinion to lower Western defenses, TROP explains the context, cites early biographers, and posts references to those Hadith collections deemed most reliable (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih

Muslim and Abu Dawud).

TROP is not associated with any organization. The site does not promote any religion, but it is not hostile to religion. We generally support the rights of atheists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, women, consenting adults, Muslims and anyone else on the planet to live as they wish without violating the rights of others.

TheReligionofPeace.com strongly condemns any attempt to harm or harass any Muslim anywhere in the world over their religion. Every person is entitled to be treated as an individual and judged only by his or her own words and deeds (see About Muslims).

TROP also denounces any act of vandalism against mosques or other property, including juvenile attempts to offend Muslims by desecrating copies of the Quran. (The best way of discrediting the Quran is to tell non-Muslims what it actually says about them).

The world we share is at a critical moment. After holding back Muslim conquests for 1400 years, Western borders are being thrown open to an irreversible flow of migration from the Islamic world. At the same time, important questions about Islam are being stigmatized and deliberately mischaracterized as "bigotry."

One reason is that many Muslims get offended when their religion is questioned, and this seems like a bad thing. Another is the false conflating of persons with ideology. Most Muslims are obviously not bad people. Most are "like us." The lazy conclusion is that "true" Islam must not be significantly different or dangerous.

But, tolerance doesn't mean denying t***h. Our culture has benefited greatly from the freedom to criticize dogma. Holding Islam to a different standard not only risks hard-fought social progress, but denies an Age of Enlightenment to those desperately in need of it. The mere fact that Islam requires special protection from scrutiny proves how necessary it really is.

The main purpose of this site is to challenge the assumption that all religion is the same, which is easily belied by common sense. Over 99% of religiously-motivated terror is committed explicitly in the name of this one faith. How can that be if it is just like all the others?

How is that we so often hear of converts to Islam turning to terror, but never the same with converts from Islam? Why are only ex-Muslims k**led? If 'ignorance of Islam' is the culprit, then why don't other religions have this problem, and why there are so many Islamic clerics, imams and preachers actively involved in terror cells and recruitment across the globe?

Lift the cloak of religion and it becomes obvious that there is a tremendous amount of social dysfunction tied to Islam's core texts and teachings. Polls show that large minorities - or even majorities - in the Islamic world approve of amputations, stonings, violence in defense of Islam, and draconian rules prohibiting other religions equal rights and freedom.

Acts of discrimination, h**e and terror that would be shocking in the name of any other faith are so commonplace in the Muslim world that it barely registers in Western media. The very fact that the bar of expectation is set so low for "the Religion of Peace" underscores just how different it really is.

No one uses the term "self-radicalization" with any other faith or attaches an "ism" to the end (Islamism) to project false hope that the "real thing" is something other than what it appears. Islam is the only ideology, religious or otherwise, in which critics are bullied into silence and told they have a "phobia" (or are "r****t" for challenging a s*********t religion that speaks far worse of them, along with everyone else outside the group identity).

Yet, where Islam dominates, there is systematic discrimination and oppression of non-believers. Where Muslims are a minority, there is a trend toward peevish self-interest and eventual violence when demands for special privilege and entitlements are not met. No other religion is so demanding of respect while doing so little to earn it.

Rather than great humanitarian accomplishment or true peace, Islam appears to breed arrogance and self-absorption: the collective petulance, narcissism and perpetual grievance that broadly characterizes Muslim populations. Hinduism has very little in common with Western religion, for example, yet Hindus generally assimilate and contribute positively to host countries while Muslim migration is accompanied by social strain and a net budgetary loss.

It is hard to deny Islam's remarkable unwillingness to extend equal moral consideration to those outside of the faith. More innocent lives were snuffed out in just two hours by devout Muslims on 9/11 than by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire 145-year history (source), yet, there was never one massed protest against Osama bin Laden in the entire Muslim world (many actually condemned his k*****g). No matter how atrocious the act perpetrated in the name of Allah, it is always followed by rhetorical distraction and claims of victimization.

Should we be surprised to find that this disregard for others is rooted in the s*********t ideology of the Quran and Sharia? These texts unashamedly draw the sharpest distinction between those within the group of believers and those outside - toward whom arbitrary denigration is cast and hatred, harsh treatment and eternal punishment is prescribed. It isn't the victims who need lessons in tolerance and understanding - it is the Islamic world.

Islam is more than just a different sort of religion. It is a rigid political and cultural system with a mandate to conquer and govern the lives of others via necessary force "until religion is only for Allah." The enemy of this orthodoxy is not just intellectual dissent and free speech, but human freedom. The divine charter of Islam is to impose itself and thus prevent the individual from discovering a different meaning for their own lives.

Rather than make the West a "safe space" for Islam, we should be challenging Muslims to make Islam safe for the world. Until then, it is not in our interest to accommodate that which has no intention of accommodating us. Neither should we assist the expansion within our borders of a religion that is consistently incapable of building countries in which even Muslims themselves want to live.

Tolerance is a good thing, but not when we allow it to be used cynically against us by those who have no use for it once they obtain power. We need to throw out political correctness and embrace critical thinking.

The t***h is that Islam is not like other religion and it is certainly not a religion of peace. Sometimes the t***h isn't comfortable. Sometimes the t***h offends. But it is far better that we offend others with the t***h than lose our own freedom.
