"Thousands of civilians fled fighting in the Philippines on Wednesday as troops tried to fend off Islamist militants who took over large parts of a city, capturing Christians, seizing and torching buildings and setting free scores of prisoners.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the rampage via its Amaq news agency, and President Rodrigo Duterte defended his decision to declare martial law on Mindanao, the Muslim-majority island where Marawi City is located, to prevent the spread of extremism in the impoverished region.

[President Duterte] said Islamic State must be repelled from the Christian-majority Philippines and he would use all means possible to crush the Maute group and the allied Abu Sayyaf, whatever the consequences.

"Anyone now holding a gun, confronting government with violence, my orders are spare no one, let us solve the problems of Mindanao once and for all," said Duterte, who is from the island, after cutting short a visit to Russia and returning to Manila.

"I might declare martial law throughout the country to protect the people," said the President, at a news conference in Manila, Wednesday.

"I had to declare martial law in the Mindanao group of islands," said Duterte, who cut short a visit to Russia to come home to deal with the violence. "It is our constitutional duty to enforce the law and provide security."

The current martial law order -- which covers both the city of Marawi and the wider island of Mindanao, of which Marawi is a part -- came after deadly clashes broke out between Filipino government troops and Islamist militants Tuesday."

Misc says
extremists may call themselves ISIS


No one has ever called themselves "ISIS". That term is a confection by western MSM.

The Islamic State was abbreviated "ISIL" (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) by the U.S. military and the Obama administration. MSM and Donald Trump called them "ISIS". In reality, Isis was an ancient Egyptian goddess, and is the given name of many living females and some corporations.

Muslims call ISIL "daesh" (bigot).

Islamic groups can change names and flags as easily as people change clothing: Al Nusra, Al Qaeda, Islamic State, whatever. As per Islam, they strike terror into the enemies of Allah (Koran chapter 8) and kill disbelievers (Koran chapter 9, among others). Islamic State caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a Muslim born to a Muslim family in a Muslim community in a Muslim country; he had a PhD in Islamic studies, and Islamic State terrorists made a point of justifying everything they did on the basis of scriptures that 90% of Muslims hold sacred. They were not "extremists" in terms of their beliefs. They simply put into action, immediately, what most Muslims believe should happen eventually.

It's like the difference between dogs and wolves. Wolves eat their kill immediately. Dogs are domesticated, bred for less adrenaline, so they can wait, but they can also go feral.

ISIL and KSA have the same agenda, but KSA works more patiently, using Petrodollar corruption to hijack NATO from the inside.
