TY - SER AU - Chalk, Peter TI - The Islamic State in the Philippines: : a Looming Shadow in Southeast Asia? KW - Estado Islámico KW - Filipinas N2 - With the Philippines’ long history as a source of Islamist extremism in Southeast Asia, there are indications that the Islamic State is now seeking to extend its presence in the country. While the group has received pledges of support from certain local militant entities, none represents a viable vehicle for furthering sustained attacks outside of Mindanao. Arguably a more relevant threat relates to the large Filipino expatriate community in the Middle East that could either be co-opted as recruits or targeted in attacks.
