What's the old saying "Don't poke a sleeping Bear". The last thing these Abu Sayyaf bandits wants is to have new President Rodrigo Duterte coming after them. If they haven't visited Mecca yet, this is a good time to take a long visit.

I don't think the Abu Saayaf is in to drugs. They prefer kidnapping for ransom. I may be wrong. I doubt that even the NPA is in to drugs. I may be wrong but I've not heard of Muslims using or dealing drugs. I know the NPA is not Muslim.

Perhaps you mean just in the Phils? Or only shabu? Never heard of the Golden Crescent? It encompasses the largest area for opium production in the world (namely Afghanistan), which, the I last I heard, is almost entirely Muslim. 

Even parts of the famed Golden Triangle stretch into Muslim controlled areas.

If there's money is to be made, they're into it.

You're right. I guess I'm thinking just the real religious ones.
