Suspected Abu Sayyaf gunmen knocked on door in a farm in Patikul, Mindanao, and opened fire after asking residents if they were Christian. Six people are confirmed dead, including a nine-month baby girl, and five others are seriously wounded. Jolo (AsiaNews) – The massacre of Christians in Jolo “deals a heavy blow at hopes for peace” and is very dangerous because “any incident can now spark a war of religion,” a local Catholic source (who preferred to remain anonymous for security reasons) told AsiaNews as he commented this morning’s attack against Christians in Patikul, a small town on Sulu Island near Jolo (Mindanao). The perpetrators could be foreign extremists from abroad, a missionary expert in Filipino affairs said.

Thanks for the post. Otherwise, we probably would never hear about it.

We basically eradicated Nazism as a threat without resorting to anything that could remotely be defined as genocide. Lots of them were killed outright and that was fine with me. You do what you need to do to survive. If you don't, well, you don't survive. I'm sure there are many who don't have the stomach to take any action necessary to defend their civilization, so I have no idea how this will ultimately play out, although I tend toward the belief that hesitant will prevail and the earth will inherit the meek and the barbarian will inherit the earth.

Step #1: Condemn any mosque with any links to terrorists or any incitements of violence. Just raize the thing and put the land up for auction. No questions. No waivering. Just enforce.

That should get the ball rolling.
