Mindanao, at least 20 killed in clashes between the army and Islamic rebels

Wait, I distinctly remember that the Philippines solved their islamic terror problem by surrendering a large chunk of their country to Islamic rule. That always works doesn’t it? If you surrender to them and agree to their terms they let you live in peace in the one room of your own house you have left, don’t they?

Asia News:

The worst affected province is Sulu, on the border with Malaysia. The clashes are the most serious since the signing of the Framework Agreement between the Philippine government and rebels of the Moro Islamic Liberation in November 2012. Extremist groups belonging to al-Qaeda linked Abu Sayyaf foment violence. Fear of attacks against civilian targets in the capital of Jolo.

Sulu (AsiaNews / Agencies) – Clashes continue between the Philippine army and Islamic rebels of Abu Sayyaf in Mindanao (southern Philippines). In two days, 20 soldiers and seven militants were killed during operations to oust the militants from the province of Sulu, the most western part of the archipelago. Meanwhile, the army has launched a vast operation to free Jenifer Casilda Villarasa, wife of Sergeant Faustino Villarasa, kidnapped May 8 last by a group of Islamic extremists. The death toll is one of the most serious since the signing of the Framework Agreement between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) for peace in Mindanao.

Philippine Army spokesman, Gen. Dimingo Tutaan, said the military offensive was to secure the villages of the province and to ensure that civilians do not end up in the crossfire between regular troops and rebels.

  1. “they let you live in peace in the one room of your own house you have left, don’t they?”
    Ask Israel, climbing out of the window and onto the roof doesn’t seem to help either.

  2. That did not work in India either, and they got enough land to eventually create two Islamic states.

  3. The Moros have always been a menace to the others in the Philippines, they were also a pain in the butt for the US when we ran the Philippines. Hopefully they will end up pissing the rest of the people off ennough to get them behind the fighting.

    FYI, the 45 auto came out of the Philippines because the smaller caliber handguns weren’t up to stopping the Moros that were high on Islam and Hash, this is probably why the Philippines makes and uses the 45.
