SNIPPET: "MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES (ANS) -- Three months after the deadly massacre of more than 20 Christian journalists in this island region of the Philippines, a lady pastor and her 12-year-old daughter, were brutally killed by still unidentified men in Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao, on Wednesday night, government authorities reported on Thursday.
Juliet Catalan, 50, a pastor of the Born Again Christian group, was found in her backyard with several hack wounds to the head and body, according to Police Officer Ronaldo Patricio.
Patricio and Datu Odin Sinsuat, the local police chief, said Catalan's daughter, Chelle, was found bloodied and dead inside the living room."
SNIPPET: "Patricio said there was no indication of possible forced entry so the police believed the victims knew the attacker or attackers.
He said the killers had used a big axe, based on the injuries suffered by the victims.
Gammar Hassan, a respected Muslim leader doing missionary work amongst Christians, described the suspects as violent and merciless."
SNIPPET: "At the back of the compound is the Born Again chapel where the 50-year-old pastor was apparently heading to pray.
She was found sprawling near the chapel, Patricio said, indicating she ran toward the chapel during the attack."
SNIPPET: "The island region has the highest incidence of persecuted Christians doing missionary work. It was also in this region where a suspected man lobbed a bomb grenade at visiting Christian missionaries from the MV Doulos, while priests and missionaries have also been kidnapped."

Violent Buddhists or Amish, perhaps.
I guess we will never know what religion the perps were.
"Patricio said there was no indication of possible forced entry so the police believed the victims knew the attacker or attackers."
jemian,
REad this and thought of you and said prayers.
Hope all ok?
How anyone can be so vicious & so cruel is beyond comprehension.
No it really isn’t hard to comprehend....when you hear a three year old toddler spewing hatred...and you see them treat their own families and fellow Muslims this way...when their minds are filled with death....then this action is easy to understand why.
Something else too, these hatcheting jobs and decapitations are seen by children as a norm, they are not sheltered from this...so they have seen these types of brutal events from childhood to adult...they are unaffected by their own behavior..it’s known and understood as the norm.
“How anyone can be so vicious & so cruel is beyond comprehension.”
The cult demands blood sacrifice of others. It’s easy to understand because they are not humans.
I disagree with the writer. That was no man, it was yet another of those (Amish?) terrorists who are happy to fight twenty against one when it's a little girl with her hands tied, but not man enough to take on an adult who can fight back. Pathetic - and illuminating for those curious about their "faith".
“Patricio said there was no indication of possible forced entry so the police believed the victims knew the attacker or attackers.”
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
This is in the same general area as that “political” massacre a few months back ,, near Cotabato.
Abu Sayyaf religion of peace.
Eternal Islam, an insane murder cult from Mad Mo in the bat cave to today.
islam = death cult of satan
The main stream media will give this about as much play as they did the torturing of nuns by Mandela’s wife.
Patricio said there was no indication of possible forced entry so the police believed the victims knew the attacker or attackers.
Things that make you go Hmmmmm.
Prayers for the Pastor and her daughter.
They only suspect it was a man? I'm no great grammar wiz but I'm not the person who is supposed to be a journalist.
The LORD’s Church is watered by the blood of her saints. May he comfort those who remain with the knowledge that these two precious saints are home with Him. They shall wear the shining crowns of the martyred forever.
Just like abortion is for much of our culture. Abortion is the treacherous, blood spilling practice of murdering the most helpless, innocent and beautiful among us. Often ripping them apart limb by limb until their skulls are crushed and they are removed to be thrown into the garbage like filthy refuse. It is our culture's rite of blood sacrifice to Satan. Many do not give the practice any mind but many others champion it. How different are we than they?
Luk 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
