Philippine military officials said Wednesday that they've asked social media companies including Facebook to remove a video of militants smashing icons in a Catholic church in a besieged southern city, saying it may be an attempt to fan hatred and turn the conflict into a religious war.
Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla, the military spokesman, also urged netizens not to share the video, which shows militants ripping a picture of Pope Francis, toppling a crucifix, and stomping on and torching religious statues.
Militants aligned with the Islamic State group continue to control pockets of territory in Marawi, where they laid siege more than two weeks ago. They are believed to be still holding a Catholic priest and many other hostages.
"We requested that this be pulled out because it may fan hatred," Padilla told reporters. "It is intended by these militants to ... sow hatred among Christians and Muslims."

I think the Muslims already turned this into a religious war........
... it may be an attempt to fan hatred and turn the conflict into a religious war.”
I watched the video, it obviously IS a religious war!
He is correct, but they should use it as a recruiting tool.....................
It’s been a religious war for 14 centuries.
Shoving your head up your own can doesn’t change that.
Don’t share “...video of (muslim) militants smashing icons in a Catholic church...” because it could make (muslim) militants smash icons in a Catholic church.
They prefer to suppress reality, because they have no interest in dealing with it.
Oh....and they don’t want you dealing with it either.
Can’t let anyone realize that muzzies hate Christians.

video at link (1:43) ISIS militants have gone a sacrilegious rampage, smashing statues and setting fire to a church building in footage purportedly filmed in a besieged city in the southern Philippines. The jihadis gleefully topple crucifixes, stamp on posters of Pope Francis and destroy effigies in the church, believed to be located in the city of Marawi, southern Philippines. The video was first published by ISIS’s Amaq News Agency.
I’m having a problem trying to find the video.
P.S. The savages burned the church down...
” . . . it may fan hatred,”
Cannot allow pictures of muzzies destroying Christian icons because it may fan hatred. However, if a Christian makes a cartoon of a muzzie monster, it is just cause for the savages to attack as many innocents as possible.
Yep. Makes perfect sense to me.

Sorry, the Muslim Jihadists started this religious war about 1,000 years ago. Ignoring these vile actions will not stop it.
Just assume that every Muslim is a drug dealer and kill all of them to solve the problem.
If not the innocent people will become targets of the Jihadists like the innocents in London/UK,France and Sweden.
It IS a religious war!!! IDIOTS!!!!
It IS a Religious war.
Looks like Duterte has to do some purging of the military.
Smashing and destroying have always been a Mooslim’s forte. Look at their success in destroying Alexandria’s library. They are a true credit to humanity, much like their “PROPHET”, who raped little girls and murdered innocents.
Don’t upset the Islamists and make them madder.
Politicians and Libs have been using that line for years.
Now, they are afraid the destruction by Islamists might upset non-Islamists. Well, something needs to.
Those pols and Libs keep forgetting or intentionally ignore the fact that those Islamists have been at war with Western Civilization for centuries. Even the ones who are not overtly involved in terrorism and attacks are secretly funding those who are.
Good grief, we should not know they are after my beliefs... smh.
