Philippines: Islamist militants blamed for beheadings

Manila, 12 June (AKI) - Islamist militants from the separatist Abu Sayyaf group have beheaded three civilians in the southern Philippines, the military officials said on Saturday. The three men were gathering wood near Maluso on the island of Basilan on Friday when they were abducted and executed by militants, Brigadier-General Eugene Clemen, a local marine commander, said.

"We received reports this morning the three lumberjacks had been beheaded," Clemen said.

The execution came less than two weeks after the group led Puruji Indama killed three people abducted in the nearby Sumisip town.

Troops had been sent to search for the men's bodies, Clemen said.

A Muslim insurgency in the south of the predominantly Catholic country is one of the problems facing the new government of president-elect Benigno Aquino III when he takes office later this month.

Abu Sayyaf is the smallest and most radical of the Islamic separatist groups in the southern Philippines and has been blamed for bombings, beheadings and kidnappings of Filipinos and foreigners.

I'm not downplaying the terror and gruesome nature of these ROP murders, but it does seem a bit ironic for these lumberjacks getting their heads chopped off.

These Islamic extremists are everybody’s enemy. Unless you’re one of them, you’re a potential target.

Muslim faith at work again. The same religion that hanged a 7-year-old boy in Pakistan to punish his grandfather. The same religion that Obama recently professed as his own. How evil can this religion go?

Nothing new with the Moros; they were beheading people when we liberated the Phillipines from Spanish rule. Pershing had the right idea - capture a bunch; shoot all but one with bullets dipped in pig manure; bury them upside down, facing away from Mecca. Then you tell the survivor that the same fate awaits those who attack Americans.

Mohammedism is NOT a religion; it is a cult of hate based on lies.

This is not a religion, by any stretch of anyone’s imagination. Islam is a CULT, pure and simple. It demands a degree of fealty that accrues to the likes of Manson, Jim Jones, and Hitler. It replaces all personal decision making with rules of the order, interpreted by semi-illiterate ‘clerics’ who profess a view into the mind of their prophet and their god. It defines and prescribes all rules of behavior and interaction. It determines with whom you may commune, and determines the nature of that community.
It punishes transgressions in the most horrible of manners and condones the enslavement and murder of anyone who disagrees.

Islam is NOT a religion. It deserves NONE of the protections reserved to religions.

Islam has been at war with civilization for over 1400 years. We are presently engaged in the latest offensive by this cult driven by the rantings of a madman, bent on the subjugation of the entire world.

It’s time to fight back.

Agreed...

If you were to use an Occam’s Razor approach to determining whether Islamists were behaving according to the dictates of a “religion” (as understood within the context of Western Civilization) or the dictates of a “totalitarian death cult”, you’d be hard-pressed to come up with evidence in support of “religion” being the motivating factor...

Yes. Where’s that pesky “controlling legal authority” when you need it to defend our country? We’re being loopholed out of existence.

Trivia: General Pershing’s serial number was 01.

I also read where he was the highest ranking general in U.S. history. To use the modern ranking system, he was the equivalent of a 6-star general. Though Pershing could've devised his own insignia he chose to retain that of a brigadier-general.

At some date after WWII, Congress passed an act elevated George Washington to a rank higher than Pershing to keep things in the proper persepective.
