I'm sure they are terrified of Trudeau's condemnation.

How many Fundamental Christians have taken hostages, beheaded people, or detonated explosive devices near crowds of citizens in the last century?

I do not support war but the Philippines should get their act together and Wipe out these extremists. If the Island is Lawless Isolate it Fill with Armed Military personnel with orders to Shoot first then ask Questions later . .Are these the same people that seized a Japanese Tug and ocean going Barge if so Anilate the perpetrators in a way that no repeat of these rebels can ever happen again.

One of the issues you need to consider as a foreigner in the Philippines. Is that cheaper English class really worth it.

To Ron Barnes: I am no Historian, however: Mindanao' has been this way for decades. Previously, the NPA; New People's Army was the bad boys in town (they STILL ARE). The NPA has been in existance since BEFORE the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. If you have never been to the Philippines, it is LITERALLY, MOSTLY, still a Jungle. This is how the gangsta's get away with the crap they do...they're just punks...but WELL organized punks.

"Fundamental anything."

Nope. Islam is a particular problem.

Islamic state militants roll into and set villages on fire in Syria.

Islamic fanatics in Bangladesh hack three atheists to death, blow up an aid organizations' headquarters, and murder a gay rights activist.

Islamic psychos in the Philippines execute a hostage.

Terrorism in three far-away countries, each with a different ethnic group majority, but one thing they have in common besides them being nuts. Anyone want to take a wild guess?

You mean like the LRA in Uganda right? Africa is full of groups like them. And it doesn't matter whether it was in the last century or not, the point is they're all deluded, violent scum. Islam is just the easy target at the moment.

JeffLeeAPR. 26, 2016 - 10:53PM JST "Fundamental anything." Nope. Islam is a particular problem.

Fundie Jews burn people alive in Israel. Fundie Christians carry out bombings or mass shootings at abortion clinics. Sure, Islam is at the very top of the leaderboard in our time, but Haaa Nemui is right. Fundies of all religions suck. Religion in itself is the root of the problem. The three I've mentioned are all from the same fairy tale, modified by man over the ages to suit his agenda.

"Islam is just the easy target at the moment."

Err, no. It's a lot more than that. 4 out of 5 of the major conflicts taking place in the world right directly involve Muslims, and it spans the globe: Asia, Africa, the West. Followers of that creed are inflicting untold misery on innocent people throughout the world.

And it's not an "easy target." It's actually a very difficult target, given how it's tied in with mainstream religion and culture, and thus protected from proper scrutiny and vigilance.

"Fundies of all religions suck."

Yes, but hardly any of the others put bombs on planes and kidnap school girls by the hundreds and then to put them on the auction block. In this regard, those who follow Islam are in a league of their own.

Jihad = hate crime.

By "Easy target" I do not mean an easy problem to deal with. I mean it is an easy thing to jump on the Muslim hating bandwagon. Donald Trump for example showed us how easy.
