A fine example of peaceful tolerant Islamic justice at work. Some people cut down a tree from the area the Muslims consider to be theirs and the people are executed. But at the same time if the Muslims bomb a church or a shopping center killing women, children and infants the government and police are somehow the bad guys for retaliating against the Muslims.
Got to wonder about that religion of peace.

Militants behead two loggers in Philippines
Islamist militants in the southern Philippines beheaded two loggers they abducted just hours earlier, police said on Saturday.
Police on Basilan island retrieved the headless corpses of the two victims early Saturday after they were abducted by Abu Sayyaf gunmen while at work, said local police chief Antonio Mendoza.
It was the second report of killings of civilians by the Abu Sayyaf on Basilan this month.
Abu Sayyaf was set up with seed money from Al-Qaeda in the early 1990s and is suspected by the military of tactical ties with Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian Islamist group blamed for several attacks in Indonesia.
Brigadier-General Eugene Clemen, commander of the Philippine Marine forces on Basilan, said the latest victims were murdered late Friday, hours after they were taken.
"They had been warned not to venture in that area because it was dangerous," Clemen said of the loggers, adding they had no official permit to cut trees in the area.
Most of the Abu Sayyaf's top leaders have been killed or arrested in military operations backed by US Special Forces troops providing training and intelligence, but the rebels continue to pose a security threat. |
