"Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks..." (Qur'an 47:4).
"Police Hunt Suspect on Anglican Priest Attack," from SIBC News, January 2:
Police in Malaita are searching for a man allegedly responsible for attacking an Anglican priest in East Malaita over religious differences.
Solomon Star reports that Malaita's Provincial Police Commander David Diosi confirms police is searching for the suspect Jack Rade - leader of the Muslim League community in East Malaita in relation to the attack.
Mr. Diosi confirms witness reports saying Mr Rade had threatened to cut off the priest's head and destroy anyone who goes against the will of the Muslim League Community of East Malaita.
He says police did attempt to arrest Mr Rade on one occasion after the attack but he escaped custody after lying to them.
He says communities in East Malaita have since retaliated to the attack by hijacking and damaging a jeep vehicle owned by the Muslim group.
He says the community is also demanding compensation from the Muslim group.
The Provincial Police Commander says the situation between the Muslim group and communities in East Malaita is very hostile and police have appealed to the Muslim elders to handover the suspect.
The Anglican priest is reportedly suffering from trauma after the assault which happened on the sixteenth of December 2008.
The attack reportedly was in retaliation to an alleged stoning of the Muslim League's vehicle and hurling of insults directed towards their adopted Islam religion.
Police have declined to release the name of the priest.

As I recall, before the Christian missionaries arrived, the peoples of the Solomon Islands were ferocious warriors, head-hunters and cannibals. That wasn't very long ago. There are still old people who remember how things used to be.
The Muslims (colonists? - converts?) should not push their luck. If they keep on behaving badly and get the Solomon Islanders really, really angry then that ancient warrior ethos may revive, in the service of an entirely just war; and although the Muslims probably won't finish up in the ground ovens as 'long pig', as they might once have done, I think the Melanesian Christians may prove just as fierce as Charles Martel's Frankish warriors once were.
The Muslims would do well to sing small and pay the demanded compensation.
In the meantime, the Provincial Police Commander, who probably reads English, needs a copy of Mr Spencer's 'Onward Muslim Soldiers' and 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades); and the priest, who was attacked, needs Mark Durie's 'Revelation?' and Mr Spencer's 'Islam Unveiled' and 'The Truth About Muhammad'.
I don't suppose there's anyone reading this who knows Bislama (Solomon Islands Pidgin) and could have a go at translating 'Islam 101', from this site?

Looks like Samuel Huntington, were he still alive, would have had to add the Solomons to his list?
It will be interesting to see how it plays in Australia, DDA. No mention yet in the Sydney Morning Herald, Melbourne Age or The Australian. Nor the New Zealand Herald. Everyone's at the beach. No worries, mate!
But I imagine the Barnabas Fund and similar Christian groups will be onto it eventually.

This article confirms an old adage:
''Where there is Islam there is trouble and violence.''
There is no peace for the wicked.
