An ally with a huge muslim

Philippines and even Mindanao are overwhelmingly Catholic. The autonomous regions do not have enough votes for complete independence.

Let's not be rude and the terrorists in Philippines are definitely not Muslims, at least not as considered by the mainstream Muslim population. They are gangs who like to kidnap folks for ransom and sometimes cut off their heads. Nothing religious about that. I posted many articles here in the early 2000s about the Abu Sayyaf.

Aloha Diehard!

It's so Indonesian of Duham/Soetoro/Obama to make disparaging remarks of a Christian Asian nation that has been our most supportive ally in the SE Asia region.

Indonesia was once Buddhist , Hindu and Christian, now it's Muslim. The same can be said of the Malays once....but no longer. Inroads were once trade routes, now as you said, they're policy detours. Christ on a Raft, Andy....we've a problem here.
