“We do not understand where that hate is coming from.”
I could give you a couple of hints.
“These [Marawi gunmen] are young people who have their own interpretation of the Quran and who do not respect their own elders.”
Their interpretation of the Qur’an is shared by innumerable Muslims worldwide. How did this misunderstanding of Islam become so widespread?
“Radicalized in Mideast, Maute brothers razed their Christian school,” AFP, June 19, 2017:
MARAWI CITY — Twenty years after obtaining Christian education, Muslim brothers Omarkhayam and Abdullah Maute returned to this Central Mindanao city with the black flags of the Islamic State (IS) group and set fire to their alma mater.
Hundreds of gunmen, many of them young locals recruited by the Maute brothers, destroyed Dansalan College in a rampage through Marawi City last month as they launched a brutal offensive to stamp their credentials as the IS leaders in the Philippines.
Their bold attack turned the Maute siblings, who are in their mid-30s, into the most infamous high school alumni of the Protestant Church-run institution, which had been a symbol of religious tolerance in the mostly Muslim city of 200,000 people.
The Maute brothers have since remained holed up in Marawi, using their local knowledge of tunnels and bombproof basements to withstand a military offensive that has left entire neighborhoods in ruins and claimed more than 300 lives.
Where is hate coming from?“We do not understand where that hate is coming from,” said Zia Alonto Adiong, a member of the legislative assembly of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao that includes Marawi.
Duma Sani, a former dean of Mindanao State University whose daughter also went to Dansalan College with one of the Maute brothers, said most locals did not support their radical Islamic brand that mandated the killing of nonbelievers.
“These [Marawi gunmen] are young people who have their own interpretation of the Quran and who do not respect their own elders,” Sani told Agence France-Presse (AFP)….

“These [Marawi gunmen] are young people who have their own interpretation of the Quran ”
No there is only one interpretation of the Quran . Read the Quran before making any judgement you fool.
mortimer says
marina said: only one interpretation of the Koran.
Would that be the Wahhabi interpretation or the Shi’ite interpretation? And, marina, on what INTELLECTUAL basis do YOU PERSONALLY claim to have the only CORRECT interpretation?
What scholars support your ‘correctness’? Or are you just GUESSING?
I think you are just ‘GUESSING’, are you not, marina?
marina says
mortimer, I only know that Koran sanctions violence against non Moslems. So i thought these fanatics are literally following the exact words. I didn’t know about Wahabi or Shi’ite interpretation of the Koran. I mean how could these two sects interpret “kill whoever doesn’t believe in Allah ” differently.

Intellect is not present in islam.

Lies….. for the infidel. They read the koran during ramadam, and are following the verses
mortimer says
ISLAM! The religion of BIGOTRY and BIGOTS who hate kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’.
-from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”

The current president of the Philippines Duterte talks so tough. What is he doing about this. Where is he now?

Baucent says
I sorry to say but Duterte is completely out of his depth on a number of different fronts. Fortunately his Generals are less inclined to reject US military assistance. But this Muslim insurgency problem that has been going on since the 1970’s was originally an ethnic/tribal/religious/criminal struggle that is morphing into a Jihadist war with a goal of a Caliphate. Other muslim nationalist groups have a truce with the government, but not the Jihadists.

“We don’t need no education,” not with the Quran around anyway.
Carolyne says
I know there are people who don’tlike school, but this is ridiculous.
