If one were to research “The Huk Rebellion”, of the ‘50’s, that too was a doing of jihad johnnies, as well!
Giving them autonomy will just make it worse, I think we all know this
By all means, give them a legitimized base of operations from which to attack the rest of the country.
This is the only way to end the war with the Islamic Moros. I fear such a place will become a terrorist stronghold in that part of the Pacific.
Frankly I agree. And that’s as good a place as any to make a stand. I’m talking out of school here somewhat though. I don’t know the dynamics, and so folks should know that up front.
It’s a given everyone else will get along. These folks simply won’t. Mow em down until they will.
It’s time these knuckle dragers were brought into the real world.
The guy is either incredibly naive or a fool, or both.
Does he really believe that appeasing or giving in to the muslim will cause them to stop fighting?
This will only embolden them to bite off another chunk of the Philippines and to keep doing so until they control all the islands.
Yes, it’s extremely wearisome to fight a war of attrition with an implacable enemy, but the alternative is to be eaten alive.
Where will we find leaders that will stir in us the same passion to defend our way of life, that the muslims have for theirs?
What happens is they next use the ceded land as a base to attack more and more provinces piecemeal
And somehow you think that despite multi-centuries of the type of behavior we see today, that either of your options have a minuscule chance of happening? The only thing these people understand is that dying for Islam is a good thing. We should, therefore, assist them in their endeavor.
400 years of war between Muslim and Christian. The traditional Muslim economy depended on piracy, booty and ransoms from raids and slave labor by Christian captives. This is why the coasts of all the traditionally Christian islands are rotten with ancient watchtowers and small forts. The Spanish finally conquered the pirate sultanates in the 1870s. They came with the deal made with the Americans and then the independent Philippines inherited them.
Thank-you for this test and explanation. I will review it often and pass it on to others.
This can also be a logical examination of the Isis state.
bookmark. Or pingy or something.
Thanks, Steel
That’s excellent.
He wants his own little Gaza or West Bank? What could possibly go wrong? < /sarc >
they will take over 1 island at a time
Didn’t work worth a damn in Gaza or the “West Bank” ... won’t work worth a damn in Mindanao.
They worship Jesus Christ.
That, and the monkeys play in the trees, and the geckos crawl on the ceiling, and the butterflies flit from flower to flower.
These things, too, enrage the deranged followers of the mad prophet.
It won’t work, any more than carving Pakistan out of what had been India worked. The Muslim enclave will be used as a base to spread Islam into the rest of the Philippines.
Imho, this is not a good idea.
