We Talk about the war in marawi city in mindanao Philippines... There`s a rumor that mawte Group Claim that they are members of Isis.. Maybe Is it True or not?

They Killed Many Civilian.. They take and broadcast it in whole world...  This scene can be Scarier than it looks. Only Crazy persons can do that...

Do you think the war in the philippines in mindanao is cause by an Isis???

Some terrorist claim that they are Isis to spread fear and terror throughout the country, but we are not sure whether they're
spreading the truth or not.

Yes it's true, they were raising the flag of ISIS and that's why they are affiliated with it.

Unless ISIS say they aren't, if they claim it, then they are considered to be ISIS.

ISIS is not organized like Al Qaeda. It's more of a "philosophy" (of chaos) than a structured group.

I never knew that there was a lot of Muslims in the Philippines,  but if there is , then there is no doubt that this is an ISIS affiliated terrorist organization and they must be rooted out very fast.these organization needs to be stopped in their early stages lest they become a thorn in the flash of the people as time goes by.

I don't know why you are having so much doubt regarding it. The ISIS has already accepted the Maute group as one of their factions and they have even sent foreign fighters (Arabs, Chechens.etc) to fight with the Maute group.

Yup, there was a mix of Arabs, Yemen, Chechens, and Indonesians among the terrorists the army managed to kill. Indonesia last month reported they had intelligence sources saying that they have nationals moving into Philippines to fight with Muslim groups. The Philippine government denied that, of course. Just this week though, they admitted there are already around a hundred Indonesian fighters in the area.

It would get worse as Southeast Asians that fought for ISIS start coming back to their countries as ISIS lose ground. They be starting similar attacks in their respective countries. Not to mention other fighters in Iraq and Syria would also come in, as has already started happening.

Should southern Philippines fall, it would become a base for further expansion in Southeast Asia. I believe Thailand would be the next target, since like the Philippines it is considered kuffar land. I believe it was last year that there was a bombing in Bangkok where the police arrested a Thai Malay woman and her Turkish husband. Those likely have ISIS links but authorities downplayed the links.

^^^ Thailand and the Philippines are going to be prime targets for the ISIS in South-east Asia. The reasons are the following:

1. More than 95% of the population is non-Muslim
2. A large section of the Muslim population in these countries are sympathetic to the ISIS
3. Both these nations have porous borders, through which foreign fighters can infiltrate.

No. Maute group wants a recognition from the ISIS and they succeeded but they just turned their world into small one. Marawi City is a small city and yet they failed to occupied it. Now where they will flee? They are cornered and borders are being guarded. Poor terrorist thinking they can be like ISIS fighters who can occupied large areas.


Majority of the Filipino Muslims lived in Mindanao, one of the three island groups. But it doesn't mean majority of them are terrorsit. All Christians and Muslims or whatever religion they have are helping each other here. These shit terrorist is the only reason why most Muslims thinks as a terrorist. I just can't wondered where they got their fundings and financial support.

I heard about the situation in the Philippines last week. Always see news of extremist activities in the region, but I did'nt expect it to go that far. The media says that the group in Marawi is linked to ISIS, frankly, I'm not sure of that.

Stay strong, those who are living near a conflict zone 'even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.'

I don't think its caused by isis itself but by islamic groups affiliated to it or would like to get isis' support. These groups have existed in the southern part of the philippines way before isis even came to be. Though with isis' emergence, a lot of terror groups around the world, not just the maute group, have been bringing up he name of isis to their cause probably to be noticed by the jihadist group.

The thing is getting noticed by using ISIS is a plus and you are right but that is just the small part of gain.The reason they want to get along with ISIS is they want to get some gun power.I live in Turkey and I'm saying this sadly but our goverment supports ISIS and sends them guns.It's not even a secret information just 2 years ago 3 trucks of weapon got caught before it arrives to ISIS you can find a lot of videos like (watch?v=QEbEMro99So).As long as countries like mine supports this disgusting terrorist groups they will not just cause problems in the place they live in but it will spread around the world just like in Philippines case.

It was already confirmed that Maute is part of the ISIS. The only reason why they do all this stuff, is to divert the attention of the Government for much bigger revelations. Also, Terrorists sole purpose is terrorize every single country they want to. Mindanao siege is not only done by one group, Abu Sayaff and BIFF and some NPA also took part on it. Their heresy that this groups are communicating to each other and planning to do a big attack, let's just hope  that our Government can stop it before it happens.

Yeah,, many people died in Mindanao , most of them are civilians, those complicated innocent people, Mr.President  is working to resolve the mess in Mindanao. He will do anything to be safe in marawi. hopefully soon come that day.

The war in Marawi city, Philippines is caused by ISIS. They are not affiliated with ISIS, they do these horrible things so they can be recognized by the international terrorists such as ISIS, maybe because they need funds and supply from them.

Hundred foreign fighters? And this movement was not noticed by the authorities? The Philippines doesn't have a land border with Indonesia. So these fighters must have taken the sea route. But if that was the case, then the navy should have spotted them.

Maute group supported by the isis.and many civilian already killed.i really hate terrorist.hopefully to have peace in marawi amd whole world too.

They want to be affiliated with ISIS. The problem here is that Maute has joined forces with other terrorist group in Mindanao. But as the day goes by, air strike is still continuing as we speak and they are not winning. President Duterte is hell bent on crushing this terrorist. The military has already captured most of the places that used to be Maute's stronghold. Philippine flags is already flying. But I think if will still take some time to really eradicate the Maute's from Marawi. The military are doing house to house so I guess they will be either captured or killed.

A police spokesman said the men were targeted during an attempted evacuation of Marawi because they were unable to recite verses from the Qur’an. The official death toll after nearly a week of fighting stands at 85, but may be much higher. Many residents of Marawi, a city of about 200,000 people, have fled. Although the army has poured in ground troops, helicopter gunships and rocket batteries, fierce fighting continues.

But the Marawi siege and in particular, the hostage-taking and execution of civilians, have raised fears the Maute are deliberately emulating Isis tactics and doing its bidding to win recognition as its main south-east Asian affiliate. If so, it may be working. Isis’s Amaq news agency last week claimed responsibility for the siege.

Fears of an expanding Isis front in Mindanao have been stoked by government claims that Islamist militants from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore are flocking to the Maute banner. In a report to congress last week, Rodrigo Duterte, the president of the Philippines, blamed foreign jihadis for bolstering the rebellion and imposed martial law in the south of the country.

IS always causing war. The Philippines has a significant Muslim population. That's what ISIS is doing there.

Couldn't help but agree with all you said. It sometimes take outsiders to see what's happening. When a certain threshold has been reached, Muslims do become a nuisance as both countries has shown. As for the sympathizers, it really is frustrating to see them spewing their hate and propaganda online, like in FB, and not have those posts taken down despite reporting them multiple times.

With the borders, I think Thailand is luckier. Sure they need to build a fence but the border with Malaysia is one of the narrowest part of the country anyway. With the Philippines, there are so many landing spots for boats that it's difficult to keep track of all of them. Not to mention the coast guard is not in good shape since the country, despite being archipelagic, is heavily focused on infantry due to several decades of Maoist rebellion.

the war in marawi is being started by the maute group , they call themselves as isis terrorist , but now there numbers decreases , and i think sooner or later the war will end .. hopefully it will end because there are to many people , civilians that they killed by the maute .

He said the fighting in Marawi had been infiltrated by some foreigners. This proves ISIS has entered the island of Mindanao. However, Duterte insists, peace is not impossible. Opportunities are still wide open.

Yes they are ISIS inspired terrorists. However, I do not believe that they can carry on bigger attacks, bigger than what is happening today. Probably more bombings in the Philippines since they can't afford to lose more barbarians. We don't know what they are after, but for sure, they already made their name now.

I do agree for the extension of Martial law in Mindanao, for the government to stop this terrorist from  creating chaos.

Terrorism is scary! In the Philippines, ISIS terrorists carry out bloody shooting. When war occurs, people are always afraid. Because their lives are threatened every hour, they relive anxiety. How many people have to give up wrongfully from the terrorist.

Well not really.  This Maute group just do all these killings and wanted to be acknowledged as an ally to the terrorist group ISIS.  But I do not mind because they are going to be wiped out any moment.  The parents of these Maute brothers, the leader of this group were already jailed.  Even some of their members were killed.  It seems that the Philippines will not stop until all the members were alive.  Salute for the President of the Philippines.

This may sound a bit harsh, but even if the Maute leadership is exterminated it is not going to resolve the issue. As long as there are Muslims in Mindanao, such incidents will repeat. Especially nowadays, with ISIS expanding far beyond their Arab-speaking core region.

"As long as there are muslims in mindanao, such incidents will repeat"??? Are you high dude? Ever since there have been muslims in mindanao way before everyone of us even was here. And muslims will always be in mindanao. And it's not an issue with any of them as well. These terrorists are way beyond religion.

Yeah sure... you can claim that the Abu Sayyaf and the Maute are staunchly secular groups. You can even claim that the ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. Or even better, you can claim that the ISIS is originally a Jewish conspiracy to tarnish the reputation of Islam.

Both Islam and Christianity are imported to the Philippines. Very little of us worship the old gods now. The bad part was when these two religions were imported in, they brought their historical baggage with them. The Spanish loathed to see people of the same religion that has invaded them. (They called Filipino Muslims "Moro" after the Moors that invaded Iberia. Ironically Muslim propagandists has reused the word now as some constructed identity.) As for Muslims here, I hear some mention Crusades, though people here never had anything to do with that part of the world.

So yeah, religion has everything to do with this mess. Don't let apologists deceive you otherwise.

To their credit, Muslims in the Philippines can claim that Islam reached earlier than Christianity in that country. The first Arab traders arrived in Mindanao around 200 years before the Spanish invasion. However, by the time the Arabs were forcibly converting the Hindus of Indonesia and Malaysia, Philippines was a majority Christian nation. Else, they would have also converted the Filipinos.

This is my two cents regarding the war in Marawi Philippines between the Maute group and Philippine Armed forces. The ongoing war in Marawi is a testing ground for the terrorist, they have to know how will the Gov't react to the situations, the Muslim living in Mindanao how they will embrace their fellow Muslim in a caliphate rule. I don't think it is made by ISIS, they only used the ISIS, I think it is a conspiracy theory.

before I guess not cause they are a terrorist of our country. They claimed that they are ISIS to put threat to the civilians and government but now they are really ISIS cause US now is supplying them with ammunition and guns.

They are terrorist of the country and make all the wavering of the flag of the ISIS for them to be recognized and acknowledged by the latter.  Just so sad that their greediness killed many innocent lives.  Salute to the brave soldiers that were ready to give their lives for this country to attain peace.  In what you said that the US supplies them with gun and ammunitions, it is sad thing that the US is really behind the terrorism.

The origins of this group can be also coming from Islamic State. I believe it has a strong reference to ISIS.

Base on my own opinion i think it is true that Maute group are indeed affiliated with the ISIS...
And they did this to Marawi in order to gain popularity and funding from other terrorist organization.
I hope they will all be crushed soon.

Many people sacrificed their life to fight for their country Philippines. Many civilians are put in danger because of this maute group that is related to Isis. They go to marawi to get that place so they can build their forces there. But because of the brave soldiers, it will not happen. The war is already put in an end.

base on the news around maute still trying to hide inside marawi good thing the president declare a martial inside Mindanao so every possible places that this group will try to go will be alarmed and will be hunt by our brave soldiers its needed to be crushed completely so ISIS wont go here and try to hide inside our land.

I have to disagree on that, it is beyond religion now. Whether Christianity or being a Muslim, it has nothing to do with ISIS for which Christians and Muslims before the Maute attack happened, are living harmoniously, yeah there are a little fire at some point because of religion conflicts but they sure get together well. That's why Marawi City became a good city. Now the incident had tarnished the relationship between Christians and Muslims in Marawi,  and even those Muslims are victim of the bad Muslim's doings. The purpose of ISIS is somewhat related to their religion but they don't demand to Christians to convert to Islamic, but they are asking whether you are a Muslim or not, if not then you will die instantly by their guns.

ISIS or not, they were all terrorist. They all endanger the life of the People not only in Marawi but the whole Philippines.

Here you go again. Even before the Marawi clashes, the relations between Muslims and Christians were not good in Mindanao. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front waged a violent rebellion for many decades, before laying down their arms.

It's a big problem now because they found out that Maute group are joined forces with ISIS group.
Many civilians died and evacuate because of continius attack of this group.
I don't know what's really they're aim for that action.

It maybe true, even probably it is a true. Was I always interested by one question: Why on the Philippine islands so many people are from this terrorist organization? How do they get there?

From what I've heard, more than 90% of the ISIS militants in Marawi were local Muslims (known as Moros). Only less than 10% of the 700 or so militants were Chechens, Arabs and other foreigners. And it is very hard to prevent these few people from infiltrating in to Philippines, given the complex geography and large population.

The bullshit in Mindanao has been going on since the spanish colonized the philippines. It happened under the americans. It happened under the japanese. It happened again when the americans regained control. And it's still happening to this day. I'd be willing to wager a useful body part it was going on before the spanish landed -- but very little records remain from the pre-colonial era. If It was my decision, I'd create an enclave, give them their own land, put all wall around it with armed guards on the PH side, resettle anyone who doesn't wish to live in that zone, refuse to do any trade or business with them, and shoot anyone who tries to cross the border. If anyone else inside the PH zone started clamoring for muslim rights, I'd deport them to the lawless zone. They've been terrorists for 300+ years, they're not going to decide to quit being terrorists by choice. They don't know anything else.

Their choice is one, die martyr because it is the purpose of terrorist from the beginning of that ideology they received.

This is only my opinion based on what I see and read on some pages on social media . They said that this Maute Group are joint group of Maute and Isis.

The geopolitical situation are frightening,  new armed conflicts spreading all over the world while the old ones increasingly far from a end.

History repeats itself, we know whats about to happen, and its not a good thing.
