Excellent summation at the end. It has also bothered me that the news media is lying and making this about ISIS, as if it were some new phenomenon. One more point to add. The group which has been doing the fighting is the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, often abbreviated MILF. They have pledged allegiance to ISIS, because ISIS has been succeeding in many places around the world. But, as you say, there is nothing new about this. MILF has been around a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moro_Islamic_Liberation_Front
