ZAMBOANGA (the Philippines), August 22 (AFP) - a second hostage among the six Christians Filipinos removed by supposed islamists of the group Abu Sayaf in the south of the Philippines Wednesday was decapitated by his kidnappers, one learned military Thursday of source.
The second head was found, packed in a plastic bag, close to the market of the capital of the island of Jolo, while the first head had been discovered near the headquarters of the army, according to the General Romeo Tolentino.
"Those which do not believe in Allah will undergo the same fate", said a note found close to one of the two heads, specified the Tolentino General.
Six Witnesses of Jéhovah, agents sales in beauty products, had been kidnapped Tuesday in the town of Patikul on the island of Jolo, one of the strongholds of Abu Sayyaf.
The removal was carried out by the men of the gang directed by a local head, Moin Sahiron, nephew of Radulan Sahiron, a veteran of the separatist wars in the Moslem south of the archipelago.
The group Abu Sayyaf, whose last taking of hostages goes back to last October, is specialized in the taking of hostages in order to obtain ransoms.
Jolo is one of the strongholds of Abu Sayyaf which had taken to last year three Americans as hostages. One was released in June and two died. The island was not the target of the American intervention which was completed at the end of July and concentrated on Basilan.
Three Indonésiens kidnapped in June are also held by other Moslem separatists reconverted into the banditism on Jolo.

ITS NOT A RELIGION religion, n. Concern over what exists beyond the physical world, differentiated from philosophy in that it operates through faith or intuition rather than reason.
According to this (Webster's) definition above, Islam is indeed a religion; it's just a particularly moronic one.
The late great satirist Ambrose Bierce had his own definition of religion, and Islam fits perfectly with it:
religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.

So that's the way to deal with these pests who come uninvited to your door and ring the bell right under the "No Peddlers" sign? Works for me, and since I live not far from their "Hall" or whatever that shack's called, I seem to be on the receiving end of their dedicated, but not too strenuous proselitizing! (I bet they won't walk more than a shopping center parking distance from that chapel!)
(All in good humour, of course.)

Churchill is over rated. (I refer to his "run-in" with Prime Minister John Curtain of Australia.) Churchill demanded that Australian troops remain in Europe despite the advancement of the Japanese in WWII. The Japanese had already issued victory currency for their eventual take over of Australia. Japanese subs were in Sydney Harbor, Darwin was being bombed and the Aussie navy was off (on Chruchill's orders) protecting Britain. Australia was totally and completely open and defenseless. Curtain gave the order for the complete withdrawal of the Australian forces - Churchill overruled him. Curtain then told Churchill: "my men are armed and they can fire both ways." Curtain gave the order: "Come home. If any British officer tries to stop you, shoot to kill." Only then did Churchill back down. But the Aussies came back too late. The Americans engaged the Japanese at Coral Sea. It was the victory at Coral Sea that saved Australia. Had the Americans lost that naval battle, Australia would be totally and completely overrun by the Japanese forces.

That is so typical of how they see US as well. They think that if us infidels weren't in the world, they would never be tempted and never do any wrong. Typical liberal "I'm not responsible for my behavior" thinking.

Here is the deal, Islam is the enemy and Islam is who we are war with. Terrorist killers = ISLAM Here's the deal. Terrorists are the enemy and terrorists will say and do anything to justify their actions. Islam is also practiced by a peaceful nation, Turkey, a member of NATO who is not hung up about recognizing Israel or Israel's right to exist. Since the terrorists purport to follow Islam, and since Turkey follows Islam your obsession with putting all of Islam under one umbrella is flawed.

Yeah, seems like Turkey is the only "Islamic" country without the death-to-all-non-Islamic-faiths attitude.

from your link
Based upon the foregoing, it seems to me that malicious propaganda about Islam and Muslims would be to call it a religion of peace and love. Muslims, like Klingons, clearly honor intolerance and destruction. Therefore, allow me to be among those who do not malign Islam, and state with all assuredness that it is a religion of hatred and war! Can I get an Amen brothers and sisters?

Islam is a corporate exercise in self-nihilism that seeks to impose nihilism upon all others, be it physical or spiritual.
The best way to be cured of Islam, logically, is to expedite their own nihilism before they can impose it upon others.

Issue a bouty for their heads. Not their capture or tips. Their heads. Dead. No more. Ex-Islamicists. You get the idea. Sort of "a head for a head."

Unless we grow the guts to stop the enemy which is islam, we will never be safe from the terrorist. Sorry - I can't debate with so much hate. I've mentioned Turkey 3,4 maybe 5 times now, and you just return the "death to Islam" mantra. You remind me of the mindless illiterates chanting "death to America". There's no logic to such hate filled bile.
I for one, have no problem go after terrorists. But putting Turkey in the same group as the others is beyond ignorant. I know your response. it will be the automatic... "Death to Islam" without any measured thoughts at all. (There haven't been any up until now.) Sorry. You bore me. Bye.
