Militants in Marawi, Philippines, released a propaganda video showing them destroy a church. The Pro-Isis fighters knocked over statues and tore up photos of Pope Francis and Pope Benedict. In other parts of the video, a narrator condemned the Filipino government for working with the US and their regional guard dog Australia in the fight against the militants.
