A June 12 AP article republished by ABCNews.com revealed that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had instigated the Marawi attack, according to Filipino president Rodrigo Duterte. Christians, military officials explained, were the main targets.

Knowing this, Noor Lucman, a Muslim resident of Marawi, took 64 Christians into his home after the raids began. When ISIS members knocked on his door, Lucman told them to go away and without force, and they did. But if militants had known that he was housing so many Christ followers, it would have been a different story.

“If they knew that there were Christians in my house, they would all be beheaded and executed,” he explained to news source MP+.
