BIFF: We only attack military, not civilians
2014-11-23
Breakaway Moro militants had denied any role in a series of bombings, including one in Kabacan, North Cotabato, that have been blamed on them.

Abu Misri Mama, spokesman for the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), said his group, which broke off from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front over peace talks with the Philippine government, does not attack civilians. About the Kabacan bombing which killed a girl and injured dozens of others, he said, "We had no hand there. We don’t attack civilians, only military (men)."

The military said it suspected the BIFF of planting the bomb in Kabacan, but Mama urged authorities to investigate deeper. He said BIFF is conducting its own investigation.

#4  OOOOPPPPSSS, forgot GLOBALNATION.PH > [Macalanang = PHIL Executive Branch] PALACE:ISIS FIGHTER - FILIPINO? OR JUST FILIPINO-LOOKING ASIAN?

Iff Pinoy locals + Mainstream US are supposed to feel much better or relieved because this personage may only be a Filipino-looking Indonesian ethnic, I don't think so.

#3  Perhaps as per post-US AFPAK, + now the new ISIS/ISIL Caliphate in the ME, the greater threat from the BIFF [pro-AQ, pro-ISIS Abu Sayaf?] stems NOT from its covert Military threat but from its overt Political = "Legal" Threat, i.e. iff BIFF ever decided to form a LEGIT Political Party and acquires the legit right to participate or run in formal PHIL elections.

DITTO AS PER FUTURE AMERIKA - ONCE LEGAL SHARIA IS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED, MUSLIM-SPECIFIC/ONLY POLITICAL RIGHTS ARE NOT FAR BEHIND.

US MUSLIMS = US COMMIES, ETC. = IFF AMERIKA DOESN'T TURN "ISLAMIC" BY JIHAD, IT WILL BY FORCE OF LAW + UNIVERSAL DEFENSE OF SOCIALISM.

Lest we fergit, ISLAM = GOD [Allan], FAITH-BASED SOCIALISM-GOVTISM = AKA THEO-SOCIALISM.

Where Islamists-Jihadists go, Commies + aligned follow; + vice-versa.

#2  Toejam Chodery considers only his type of muslim to be civilians, and justifies attacks against all others.

Said it to your face when he said reporters are spys. On CNN. In English. Smiled.

#1  Of course that depends on what you define as 'military'.

The Palieos consider even unborn Jews as 'military' and subject to murder.
