It's just not that simple -- before Spanish colonialism Mindanao was a Sultanate so in the eyes of the Muslims the land was taken from them. The Philippine government has been at war with communist guerrilla fighters there for years also.
Since 1500's wow!

But ISIS taking the over the city and Martial Law being declared is different.

When I stayed with an expat friend in the Phils, and his 6th wife, they were beheading Christian up there but nothing like this and taking hostages and taking over a whole city.
