Philippine jihad during Ramadan: another case of the "restives"

During Ramadan it is important to keep the fast during the day(no sex either) and obey the commandments of Allah.  It is also important to wage jihad during the holy month so what the jihadists are doing in Cotabato is in line with Islamic doctrine.

But it would be Islamophobic to point that out.


From The Straits Times August 2

Bomb blast kills 1, wounds 6 in Philippines


Jihad in action

COTABATO (Philippines) - OFFICIALS say an improvised bomb has exploded in front of a gun store in the restive southern Philippines, killing at least one person and wounding six.

No one has claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack in southern Cotabato city. Separatist rebels and criminal gangs operate in the predominantly Muslim region.

Police Superintendent Roberto Badian says the bomb was placed inside a motorcycle in front of the store and remotely detonated using a cellphone.

A man walking nearby was killed while glass splinters from the shattered window hit six other people up to 10m away.

Cotabato City Administrator Cynthia Guiani Sayadi calling the bombing barbaric and un-Islamic. She noted it occurred during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Ms. Sayadi should reference the link above.
