Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the beheading "an act of cold-blooded murder." Yes, and the sky is blue. But what is he going to do about it? Nothing. ISIS and this Islamic group, Abu Sayyaf, which pledged its allegiance to ISIS, have nothing to fear from this dandy. He has said repeatedly that Canada was not at war with ISIS. Well, ISIS is at war with you, damn fool.

Obama's lapdog, PM Trudeau, would not comment on the fate of the other hostages -- fellow Canadian Robert Hall, Hall's Filipino girlfriend, Marites Flor, and a Norwegian, Kjartan Sekkingstad. Of course he wouldn't. John Ridsdel, Canadian Hostage Held by Abu Sayyaf, Found Beheaded in Philippines

by Corky Siemaszko, NBC News, April 25, 2016:

Islamic militants in the Philippines on Monday carried out a threat to behead a Canadian tourist they had been holding for months.

The execution of 68-year-old John Ridsdel was confirmed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who called it "an act of cold-blooded murder."

"I am outraged by the news that a Canadian citizen, John Ridsdel, held hostage in the Philippines since September 21, 2015, has been killed at the hands of his captors," Trudeau said. "Canada condemns without reservation the brutality of the hostage takers."

Ridsdel's body was found in Jolo CIty -- 900 miles north of Samal Island, where he and three others had been kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf militants last year, Canadian media reported.

His head was found 425 miles west of SamaI Island near Zamboanga City, according to the published reports.

Who’s the guy running that is 70 years old and wants better relations with China over the US?

Lots of jungle and islands down there. Hard to put down an insurgency in such conditions.

A Muslim insurgency depends upon the jihadis being able to hide among "regular" Muslims, who supply them with food, shelter, and supplies.

Depopulate the Muslim areas, and the insurgents have no bases.

I’m told he wants that. I cant speak about that, just his record of turning Davos from a hellhole to something liveable.

You can’t really blame him for wanting better ties with China, if the US is backing off from the Philippines.

He caught hell for it from FReepers a few days back I think.

I actually don’t blame him to be honest. We’ve really become a horrible “ally” over the past 20 years.

The decline of civilization: from Charles Martel to Justin Trudeau in thirteen centuries.

The game’s about 99% over, and only a miracle might save us now.
Islam will take care of Soros and his new-world-order gang, so there’s some small consolation as we all go under.

Those Freepers think that the US is owed something for past works. They cant see past that those other countries cannot afford to wait long for the US to get its act together and re-embrace its values, because that may not happen. Obama might not be just a bad dream. He may be a forewarning of a long nightmare.

Yet the politicians will tell you the greatest threat is Islamophobia.

moslem ‘heroes’ - evade battle, kill the defenseless, rape little girls, steal, lie.

Too bad there isn’t an aerosol spray to kill these insects.
