2 Seminarians Reported Killed in Rebel Attack

MANILA, Philippines.- A seminary rector in the southern Philippines reported that two seminarians were among some 25 people killed, when suspected Muslim rebels attacked a remote coastal town.

Father Gregorio Canonigo, rector of Cor Jesu Seminary in Dipolog City, told UCA News that two seminarians were killed Sunday in the pre-dawn attack on Siocon, 60 kilometers (37 miles) further south.

Marino Acedo and Rhuby Mar Buagas had been assigned to Holy Cross Parish in Siocon, as part of the summer pastoral program.

Military reports said some 70 Moro Islamic Liberation Front guerrillas staged the attack about 2 a.m. Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes told reporters in Manila that eight civilians, six guerrillas, six policemen and three soldiers died in the attack.

I thought it was only Islamic radicals that did these things? I guess "Islam" and "radical" go together like horse & buggy. This is not a cultural war, it's not a war of oppressed Muslims fighting for land. It's not a war of terrorism. It's not a war of the envious killing the blessed. This is a satanic war launched against Christ and His followers, by the evilist s.o.b.'s that ever lived, the barbarians of the "religion of peace". To call all these global attacks by Muslims 'terrorism' is wrong. It's all out warfare, and terrorism is their battle plan. Were we attacked at Pearl Harbor by "sneak attackers"? Or were we attacked by the Japanese, who used the sneak attack as a war tactic?
