Terrorist siege in the Philippines.

[Sithara007]

There are plenty of these groups in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. They are all just waiting for the right moment. Some of these groups have called for a SE Asian caliphate decades before ISIS appeared in Iraq. Muslims from these countries went to Iraq and Syria to fight for ISIS and now they are all going to come back home.

And don't belittle their support from the grassroots. Just look at the Filipino Muslims cheering for Maute on FB. Their religious leaders has now surface almost a month after the conflict started, asking for tolerance, blah, blah, blah and and end to airstrikes and lifting of the martial  law. You bet they'd be singing a different tune had they actually won. Venomous sand snakes. 

Yup, and now it's Australia that is worried that when the birds come to roost, there'll be trouble close to home.  http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/inquirer/risks-to-indonesia-after-islamic-state-attack-in-philippines/news-story/7cfbb1edeb4f25a523ac1a15fb8b5816

After all, Indonesia is quickly Islamizing, though I suppose it would be harder to fully transform like what happened to formerly secular Turkey.

There is no such thing like a moderate Muslim. There are only two type of Muslims in the world - 1. Those who openly support the terrorist acts, and 2. Those who secretly support the terrorist acts.

I kinda expected this... Sad it did come true.  http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/909232/afp-maute-terrorists-holding-female-hostages-as-sex-slaves?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#link_time=1498565456

Female hostages of the Maute group in Marawi City are being forced into sex slavery and marriage with some of the terrorist fighters, the military said on Tuesday.

“The worst thing is there are cases of female hostages forced to marry the Maute local terrorist group so they are being forced for sex slave, or forced to destroy the dignity of these women,” Joint Task Force Marawi spokesperson Lt. Col. Jo-Ar Herrera said in a televised press briefing.

Government troops have also rescued seven hostages on Monday.

While in captivity, the hostages were tasked to loot houses and establishments for ammunition, firearms, gold, cash, and jewelries, Herrera said.

“Hostages were issued firearms, pinipilit nila ‘yung mga hostages to bring firearms so fino-force nila to fight government security forces,” he said.

“Pinipilit din nila that the hostages were forced to ‘balik-Islam,’ or revert to Islam, and also tasked to bring wounded terrorists to mosques,” he added.

The hostages, who were rescued after being held for about three weeks, have also claimed to have seen vicar general of the prelature of Marawi Fr. Chito Suganob alive.

Terrorists have offered to free Suganob in exchange for the parents of the Maute brothers, who have been arrested by authorities in separate occasions early this month. The government, however, rejected the offer, saying that they don’t negotiate with terrorists. JE

On the bright side, I saw in a different article, Red Cross complaining that bodies of some of the terrorists has been allowed to rot. They complained that they deserve dignity.

Dignity my ass. Did they think of dignity when they behead people and hide the head and body separately? Did they think of dignity when they assaulted women?

What they deserve is to rot over and over. They're not even worthy of the earth their corpses would be interred. These people are quite particular with their burial, insisting it be done within 24 hours after death, etc. This is the best insult that can be done to them. Rest in pieces. Or do as the Americans did and throw some pigskin in there.
