Wherever they are there they are

For the past two weeks the Philippines army has been fighting Islamist militants in the southern city of Marawi. So far, the conflict has killed at least 170 people, including 20 civilians, and more than 180,000 residents have fled. The BBC's South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head reports from Marawi.
For more than a week the military spokesmen have been offering the same, upbeat outlook in the embattled city of Marawi. The Philippines armed forces controls nearly all of the city, they have been saying; the black-clad militants, who so surprised them by seizing Marawi in the name of so-called Islamic State on 23 May, have taken heavy casualties, and are encircled.
The military will, of course, eventually retake the city. Even fighters happy to die for Islam cannot withstand constant bombardment indefinitely.

I'm not going to relent on this obvious point: It's a particularly ****ty religion. Lupe Fiasco is part of the problem. We don't need people who model good behavior for other Muslims. The religion itself is intrinsically bad and anything that promotes it is the problem. My examples aren't anecdotal. England, The Philippines, America, Morocco... everywhere it exists. I actually think the obvious truth of this is starting to resonate with more and more people. **** this cancer of a religion.

I don't believe all Muslims act on the bad parts of Islam but I do agree it's a ****ty religion

you're going to attribute things to Islam itself because you came in with that bias against it and the people who practice

I didn't have a bias against it until Lower Manhattan looked like Sarajevo.
