While someone was trying to explode himself on a building full of teens in Manchester, a terrorist group claiming to be an ISIS affiliate attacked a city in southern Philippines. The Philippine president has already declared martial law on the whole Mindanao (second largest island where Marawi city is located) while in Russia.

The issue about terrorism has gotten so bad that it is not even only the Arab world that are feeling the pain any longer as it is even spreading to every where in the world. From Europe to Asia to Africa among other continents of the world but the bone of contention is the collateral damage all of this where innocent citizens that does not even know the way government works who does not even vote in elections gets to suffer for it while the people in power making the policies are largely untouchable.

Today they measure the Arab by one measure and they are almost identical for each person. Although it is necessary to understand here and there that not all Arabs are terrorists, but that's what they think

Perhaps in your enlightement, sir, you should first learn that muslims living in Phillipines are not Arabs Wink

Arabs are ethno-cultural group, Islam is organized religion. Two different things. Thank you.

Seeing the thing that is happening with the Philippines, it's really concerning. The group that wants to be noticed and somehow manages to get some firearms for abuse (we don't know where they got it but definitely somewhere where and a way that's illegal. I just hope that the people that are innocent there are safe and the soldiers would be able to apprehend the terrorists because it's alarming. What's sad about is that the individuals in the other parts of the country are trying to boycott the issued martial law, even knowing that they are not there. They should just spread the love.

Moros have many relatives in muslim Indonesia Wink

also as sunni muslim they probadly get some sort of financial help from Gulf states. ISIS is not the only child of Saudi Arabia.

those people who still criticizing the declaration of martial are those who doesn't know well the situation and why this law is needed inside mindanao
as they are all just helping the terrorist in terms of gathering attention in an international media, they are just speculating misconception with the good intention of the president, they are not helping to resolve the issue but giving the maute group some leaning shoulders to catch more international terrorist to help them.

Unfortunately, you are probadly right. Now, that the situation already escalated government needs to use as much force as possible to restore peace and order.
