This Featured article from our archives some years back reminds us that the threat to any nation’s sovereignty is not far away. Especially in the Philippines. It is not surprising that in this battle in Marawi, the damnable Islamic fighters have taken hostages and use them as human shields. This is an old tactic of the cowardly Islamic fighter; who cannot just stand and fight. It should not come as a surprise that we find Sunni Muslims fighting. Worldwide Sunnis work, many of them to see their version of a worldwide Caliphate, along with a viable Caliph to bring in their version of hell on earth. Now this hell is trying to gain a foothold in the southern Island of Mindanao.
