Every day the death count grows, and every day our leaders continue to dissemble about what is causing all this — which only ensures that will not do anything effective to counter it. “Explosion in Philippines kills 2, leaves 54 wounded,” Associated Press, January 24, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): MANILA, Philippines – A powerful […]
Philippines: Muslims pledged to Islamic State blamed for bus bombing that murdered 10
When is Joe Biden or John Kerry going to explain to us why this pseudo-Islamic group that has nothing to do with Islam has inspired loyalty from Muslims as far away as the Philippines?

Philippines: Islamic jihad group Abu Sayyaf pledges allegiance to the Islamic State
All the rush by Western leaders to condemn the Islamic State and pronounce it un-Islamic overlooks the very real appeal that it has for many Muslims worldwide, because of its claim to reconstitute the caliphate. Restoring the caliphate is a primary goal of every jihad group in the world. Glibly dismissing the Islamic State as […]

Philippines frees jihad leader to make peace with MILF
In the Philippines, as in Israel and elsewhere, it is taken for granted by virtually all parties that the non-Muslim side is the one that has to demonstrate its good faith and make a gesture of good will.
