Philippines terror: Americans warned after church hostage-taking, policeman beheaded
Fox News ^ | May 24, 2017 | Fox News

The United States Embassy issued a warning to U.S. citizens in a southern Philippine city on Wednesday after terrorists linked to the Islamic State swept through the region, beheading a police chief, burning buildings, seizing a Catholic priest and his worshippers and raising the black flag of ISIS, officials said.

The embassy suspended mission personnel travel to Mindanao as they analyzed the chaos that has left at least 21 people dead.

"While the U.S. Embassy has no information that the events in Marawi City represent a direct threat to U.S. citizens or U.S. interests in the Philippines, we encourage U.S. citizens to review personal security plans, avoid large crowds and gatherings, and remain vigilant at all times," the embassy said in a statement.

A few years back I looked at buying a resort 40 miles NE of there near CDO.

The seller was a Turk who wanted to go home to get medical care for his terminal condition. I choose not invest $250,000 which was his asking price.

There are people who don’t like the Durante, but I think this man will clean out the ISIS in that region...

I wonder if the libs in this country would have the ISIS coming to their homes for dinner?

How about it Schumer, Piglosi, Di-Fi, Waters, Sanders, Clintons, Bushes, Obamas...are your homes open to care for these people???

It is past time to institute a take no prisoners policy with ISIS.

The US should give the Philippines a few hundred Daisy-cutter bombs and access to satellite intelligence so they can locate the ISIS hiding places.

Bomb these Muslim rats to extinction.

Its the same old thing indeed.
I don’t see what was such an emergency about this incident in particular. Send in a battalion of (Phjilippine) Marines to reinforce the infantry brigade that’s already there.

” but I think this man will clean out the ISIS in that region...”

ISIS is just another name for the floating population of perpetual mad Muslims there. MNLF MILF Abu Sayyaf Maute - and their spin-offs and factions, whatever, and before them innumerable groups under innumerable chieftains going back 400 years.

No man is going to clean them up, or not for more than a little while.

IIRC, the Philippines have been (or have finished) kicking out the US Marines.

"I liked him in “It’s A Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild World”."

Actually, it was, “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”.

we're in Luzon, and our main danger is druggies who rob people to get money. Also being in the cross fire when our politicians go after their rivals (our nephew was killed in one of these hits awhile back).

There are some Muslims in the area but not many.

The real worry is is that the Abus imported bomb makers, and the cops worry that they will send a bomb up to the Manila area to set off in a mall etc.

But even here, we get frisked/wanded and our purses/backpacks checked when we go into the malls. The Palenkes(outdoor markets) have cops around, as do churches, so that is a worry for locals.
