So Wait, ISIS is in The Philippines Now? OK...

[Rasputin_Vol]

Or is this just another destabilization tactic by the sponsors of ISIS to get a less friendly leader like Duterte out of the way?

Mindanao has had Islamic terrorists for years and years. The Sulu Archipelago as well.

Islamic Terrorists have been in the Phillippines since at least WW2.

No no no... there is a distinct difference between the Islamic terrorists they've had before and ISIS. Let's not confuse the two.

Again, a big difference between those terrorists and stating that ISIS is there.

No.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

No.

Yes.

ISIS alleged stated goals are establishing a caliphate in The Levant. Those aspirations have nothing to do with The Philippines.

This is even more ridiculous than ISIS showing up in Afghanistan and Europe.

Islamic terrorism is Islamic terrorism. The Abu Sayyef and this Maute group are linked to ISIS. You're calling a potato a potato and upset that that others are calling a potato a potato.

From the article you posted

"The Maute and Abu Sayyaf have an alliance and are both linked with Islamic State, a source of growing concern for President Rodrigo Duterte, who has warned of the expanding influence of the militants in the Philippines."

Don't tell me you're trying to play semantics with Islamic terrorism.

It's kind of like when Ford bought Lincoln. Cars by that name were made and will continue to be made.

^ Good analogy. Plus ISIS is going to claim every attack, ever, until someone ousts them.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Islamic terrorism is Islamic terrorism.

But ISIS is not the same as Philippine Ismlamists.

What next, ISIS in Manchester?

Ras has this problem understanding terror groups have this ability to cross borders and recruit and not just plant their flag in one place. It's like he believes it to be unbelievable like some superhuman ability.

you know they have called for all the faithful that can't join in the fight to do what they can, where they can right?

 

[Velo Vol]

No more convenient excuse than terrorism for a government to strengthen it's power.

I am not saying or suggesting it isn't within the realm of possibility. I'm just thinking that at this point, I'm can't buy in to the ISIS narrative.

Just the other Islamic terrorism?

especially when it has been going on for more than a decade.

ISIS and Al-Quida spand from Africa to Indonesia to the isolated islands in the Philippines. It was called the "Global War on Terrorism" for a reason.

 

[carlos86]

ISIS has captured Philippines city of Marawi, population of 200k, beheading non-Muslims. Military set to retake city/begin air strikes soon.
