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 find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving, all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.” (Qur’an 2:191-193)
“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)
“They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
“This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)
“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
“Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatever you spend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Duterte to Muslims on Eid al-Fitr: ‘May you be living examples of what is best in Islamic faith,’” by Reina Leanne Tolentino, Manila Times, May 24, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte joined Muslims on Sunday in their celebration of Eid al-Fitr or “Breaking of the Fast”, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
“In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, may the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you all on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr”, Duterte said in his message.
“I join our Muslim brothers and sisters as they conclude the holy month of Ramadan. As you celebrate the Breaking of the Fast, may the clarity of thought and wisdom that you have attained from this undertaking inspire you to be the living examples of what is best in the Islamic faith,” he said.
“It is likewise my hope that your time in prayer has nourished your inner strength and fortitude to stay true to the inherent goodness of humanity as we shun the evils that permeate our society,” he said.
The President said that he trusted that the Muslims “will remain committed in breaking down barriers that divide and further estrange us from one another” and ended by wishing them “a solemn and blessed” Eid al-Fitr….
CogitoErgoSum says
He does not understand that since he is not a Muslim, Allah does not consider him to be completely human. He’s just another creature to be subdued by the Muslims, and a vile creature at that.
katherin says
Whether or not he`s a Muslim is irrelevant . What matters is he is obviously in awe of Poop-F and his Religion of Peace. Duterte’s statement even sounds like a Vatican announcement.
He is either getting senile or weighing his options for the other heaven.
gravenimage says
I think that Duterte almost certainly being ignorant about Islam hating him and all other Infidels is indeed salient here.
katherine says
Incredible ! Duterte wasn’t born in LA, or NY or London – he’s from the heart of the Islamic insurgency in eastern Mindanao. No,not even Manila.
gravenimage says
Not all non-Muslim Filipinos are opposed to Jihad, unfortunately. Some accept this savagery.
katherine says
Whether he understands or not is irrelevant. Duterte is obviously being a good Catholic so in awe of Poop-F that even his speech must sound like a Vatican statement.
He is either getting senile or just weighing his options for the Other Heaven.
terry sullivan says
moslems have killed many there–why is duerte not dealing with them?
gravenimage says
He was slow to reclaim the city of Marawi, taken over by ISIS in 2017. And this city is still allowed to operate under Shari’ah law.
Maria Torres says
I though he was a stronger leader, after killing drug addicts/dealers. Muslims will always steal break countries wherever they go. Leaders do not want to fight Muslims they cave to their needs as much as I hate China. The Communist China does not give a damn about terrorist, arrests them and puts its foot on their neck, sadly it does the same to Christian which do not pose the same threat as Uyghur. https://youtu.be/fuj5yUNW7rg
gravenimage says
It’s a lot easier to murder drug addicts than it is to be tough on Jihad.
FYI says
Right,so ramadan may be over…. but the infidel feast of Haram Ramadamadiddlydamn will continue in my household.. indefinitely …with the Breaking of The Bacon Sandwich to signify its continuation, followed by the Infidel Beer challenge…
Ibrahim says
You ignorance is dangerous.you are quoting verses where Early Muslims were being persecuted in their own homes and Allah is urging them to defend themselves,what is wrong with that?..you try to portray Islam in bad light but people are joining the true religion in droves.
gravenimage says
Is the dishonest Ibrahim claiming that his coreligionists are not still murdering Infidels on the basis of these Qur’anic verses, including in the Philippines?
If Ibrahim *really* had a problem with this, then he would be preaching to Jihadists who supposedly misunderstand Islam, rather than spewing Taqiyya at the good people at Jihad Watch.
Note also what Ibrahim considers “defense”–the “Prophet” Muhammed and his thug companions raping, enslaving, and mass slaughtering their neighbors.
As for Kuffar converting to Islam, this is mainly losers and violent felons. Ibrahim must be so proud!
FYI says
Yes,yes mr ibrahim “joining the true religion in droves”
{….550 billion converts already: and that was just in the last half hour..}
The “True” religion eh?
The religion of “peace”..{WHERE?Show us the peace will you?And LOVE:there is none of that in islam as allah MISSED the Golden Rule and the 2 chief commandments didn’t he?But then he admits to being a champion deceiver koran 3:54}
The ‘true’ religion..
That gets the name of God wrong{it is YHWH,not allah}
That MISSED the Golden Rule{=the MEANING of the Law of Moses and all the prophets Matthew 7v12}
and The PURPOSE of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets{=the 2 chief commandments Matthew 22:37-40}
Forgot about the Helper,the Holy Spirit….
Teaches it is OK to violate every one of the Exodus 20 Decalogue Laws
{read your ‘holy’ koran}thus defeating the purpose of the Torah.
Curses Jews and Christians koran 9:30
Has a “prophet” who admitted to being a FALSE PROPHET al tabari 6:111
Has a “perfect” koran so full of ERRORS{scientific,logical,theological and even grammatical} that by allah’s OWN criterion of koran 4:82,can only be of HUMAN ORIGIN{=”from other than allah”}
Permits murder of the innocent,child brides,polygamy,rape,woman beating lying and thievery{see the koran}
islam:”Commandments?what commandments?”Look at Exodus 20 and look at the koran’s warped immorality}
Has a Doctrine of HATE al walaa wal baraa:a direct violation of the 2 chief commandments of God{Deut 6:4-9,Lev19:18}islam does not teach that humans are made in the spiritual image of God:it is muslims versus non-muslims.
No 2nd chief commandment in islam of course..no ‘love thy neighbor’ since he is an infidel Jew{“to be despised and hated”koran 2:65} or a Christian{“the WORST of created beings” koran 98:6}
Has an APARTHEID system of muslim k3:110{the BEST community} versus the Jews and Christians{“the WORST of created beings ” koran 98:6}
A misogynistic,racist,antichristian,antiJewish,antifreedom,antidemocratic,totalitarian religious cult based on an obvious FALSE PROPHET{by his own admission al tabari 6:111} a FALSE god{who admits to being a champion deceiver k3:54} and a plagiarized theologically flawed ‘holy’ book,an instruction manual to VIOLATE the official Laws YHWH gave to Moses..
Does that look like the “true” religion?
Who are you muslims kidding?Who do you think you are fooling?
Only the naive,the evil,the spiritually blind or stupid would convert to islam given ALL the information available nowadays: and if you do,you will reap what you sow.
James Lincoln says
Ibrahim says,
“..you try to portray Islam in bad light…”
Sorry, there is no other way to accurately portray it…
Giacomo Latta says
Is that how you think the koran should be interpreted? Take it up with the Ayatollah or the Muslim Brotherhood then report back. I’ll be waiting.
katherine says
I believe you there. In fact I understand that they just HAD to convert – otherwise they would have starved to death when the food distributors ignored them during the Covid lockdown.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Katherine.
Here is one such appalling story:
“Pakistan: Christians and Hindus only allowed food rations if they convert to Islam”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/04/pakistan-christians-and-hindus-only-allowed-food-rations-if-they-convert-to-islam
mortimer says
Muslim jihadists killed 714 during Ramadan 2020.
Jihad is considered the highest deed in Islam.
President Rodrigo Duterte needs to learn what Islam teaches about jihad … jihad is more important in Islam than prayer.
Ahmed says
You don’t know a thing.Read and know what u don’t know.
gravenimage says
Note that the semi-literate Ahmed doesn’t actually dispute his pious coreligionists slaughtering people in Jihad during Ramadan. But then, how could he?
FYI says
Ahmed and Ibrahim probably know each other…The Abdool brothers.
muslims think we don’t know about their bag of dissembling tricks.
It cracks me up when I read muslim trolls on You Tube using English sounding names like Steve or Mike:yeah,that’ll fool us.
Or the muslim who pretends to be an atheist…
gravenimage says
Agreed, FYI..
By the way, I love your “Abdool” skits! Moments of levity are much appreciated.
FYI says
“fish in a barrel”
Let’s see..
From islamic sources;Let’s read them.YOUR sources remember.
muslims follow the sunnah of muhammed,right?
muhammed ,by his own admission, was a TERRORIST
“I have been made victorious through TERROR”
Sahih Bukhari 4:52:220
muhammed,by his own admission,was a FALSE PROPHET.
“I have fabricated things against God and imputed to him things he has not said”
Al Tabari 6:111
You follow the sunnah of a self-confessed FALSE PROPHET AND TERRORIST.
These are YOUR sources!
allah{“the BEST of deceivers” koran 3:54}in his Commandment-of God violating koran..{…follow allah’s advice in koran 10:94 and consult the Bible:See Exodus chpt 20…}…his plagiarized ‘holy’ book has something like 164 JIHADIST verses.
allah’s greatest command?
“Belief in allah and JIHAD is his cause”
muslim 1:149
“Read and know what you don’t know”:follow your OWN advice.
Here are 7 things mr muslim that you don’t know about your own ‘religion’..
1]allah’s enemy is a MAN called the king of kings:
{Sahih Muslim vol 5 hadith #5611} How can allah the god of islam’s enemy be a MAN?
2]WHY is the Golden Rule MISSING in islam?
3]Explain why allah gets Christian Theology completely wrong koran 5:116
{tell us what MARY is doing in the Trinity:do you see how an EPIC Theology error shows,when allah’s criterion of Koran 4:82 is applied that the koran cannot come from God but from “other than allah”?}
4]allah does not permit final penitence koran 4:18:thus allah is NOT merciful.allah also sends muslimas to hell for the ‘sin’ of being ungratteful{Takfurna}Sahih Muslim 241
Being ungrateful is not a sin…and once again we see it is a LIE that allah is merciful.
5]Explain why the Torah was revealed in HEBREW {if allah insists he wrote the Torah }but yet can only be understood through ARABIC.koran 2:87
Why did allah not write the Torah in Arabic?
Because the author of the koran is lying when he claims he wrote the Torah.
6]the fact that allah needs to use violence to take over the world means allah cannot be the Creator of the World as the Actual God {YHWH}does not need violence to take over what is already His{difficult concept for muslims and jihadists to get}
7]you cannot attack the Bible as allah CONFIRMS the Bible koran 3:3 and even condemns muslims who attack the Gospel koran 5:47
muslims who attack the Bible PROVE they don’t know the koran.
The absence of the Holy Spirit in islam is WHY it is the koran and not the Bible that is corrupted:but islamic “scholars” don’t understand that.
So dear muslims:”read and know what you don’t know”.
Your OWN koran.
And if you have any questions remember to follow allah’s advice in koran 10:94 and “Question those who read the scripture that was before thee”.That book?
The BIBLE
A book allah CONFIRMS as authentic.Sadly for you muslims,whilst the koran confirms the Bible the Bible does NOT confirm the koran:and why would it since the koran is clearly FALSE?
Maureen Chaloner says
The words in the Koran are those of a madman,who is insane and black of heart and mind. If Islam ruled the world – the light of the world would go out forever! There is no coming back from pure evil. Satan will rule….

I just didn’t recognize him …without the Afro and the black face paint.
And a happy ramadan to you “aladdin” trudeau!
Justin ‘blackface’ trudeau,mr Diversity,mr “its not mankind it’s peoplekind”:the White Lefty Liberal that likes to embrace cultural diversity so much that on several occasions he has appeared{been photographed} in an Afro with a blacked-up face.
“Celebrate the diversity that makes us who we are”
And what better way for Justin to celebrate that diversity and experience the joys of cultural enrichment than by wearing an Afro,blacking up your face and singing the Banana boat song….
katherine says
Wow – now he wants to be identified as al-Turd ibn al-Maktoum. Was that who mama Maggie had a fling with ?
Let’s ask Duterte if he wants to talk to this fella.

Trudeau needs more muslim pilots flying him around while they are hypoglycemic at the end of a Ramadan day.

{which muslims don’t say to infidels and infidels certainly don’t go around saying to muslims}
What a sweetheart!
Should we tell her the koran CURSES Jews and Christians koran 9:30,has an Apartheid system{muslims vs non-muslims}, a Doctrine of hate al walaa wal barra?
What would be the point?
salaam aleikum to you too Jacinda Ardern!You infidel!
One of the “WORST of created beings” koran 98:6
“unity,kindness and generosity”:I see she’s not familiar with the koran or islam’s teachings then.

Response to Ahmed: Read the website of religionofpeace.com to get daily numbers of jihad attacks and killings. Muslims like you are killing 20 – 50 people every day of the year. Read and weep.
BTW, I read and study the Koran, Sira, hadiths, tafsirs and Sharia law every day, my friend. Do you?

Response to Martin and FYI, Jihadi Justin Trudeau dressed up as the chief eunuch in charge of the harem slaves of Constantinople … a horrible insult to all black men and a mockery of his virtue-signalling feminism.

Response to AHMED : Primacy of Jihad and Reward
Islamic Belief and Jihad are one:
I asked the Prophet, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To believe in Allah AND TO FIGHT for His Cause.” (Sahih Bukhari, 3:46:694, Sahih Muslim, 1:149)
Jihad is the guarantee of paradise:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords.” (Sahih Bukhari, 4:52:73 [see also 4:52:210, and Sahih Muslim, 20:4681])
Jihad best in reward:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” He replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Sahih Bukhari 4:52:44)
