They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
" group.

There are a bunch of ISIS-linked groups in the Philippines, some of them no more than a family and its retainers.

An explosion at a Catholic Mass in a university gymnasium in Marawi city in the Philippines killed three and injured nine people on Sunday.

The explosion occurred at Mindanao State University in the Lanao del Sur province in the southern part of the country, the regional police director, Brigadier General Allan Nobleza, told news hounds. He added that investigations were still underway, and it was possible that the attack was planned by pro-Islamic State bully boys.

Classes were suspended and more forces were deployed across the university.

Marawi is the country's largest Moslem city and was besieged by Islamist turbans in for five months in 2017.

The Philippine military said on Saturday they had killed 11 bully boys, including members of the Dawlah Islamiyah-Philippines, a pro-Islamic State group, in a military operation the day before in Maguindanao del Sur province.
