Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Philippines: Muslims throw grenade at church during Christmas eve mass, injure 16

Dec 24, 2016 2:26 pm By Robert Spencer

This year’s global jihad against Christmas intensifies.

“Sixteen Hurt in Christmas Eve Blast at Catholic Church in Philippines,” Reuters, December 24, 2016:

Sixteen people were wounded in a grenade explosion outside a Catholic church during a Christmas eve mass in the Philippines’ restive southern island of Mindanao, a priest and police said on Saturday.

Security forces across Southeast Asia are on alert ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays, as police in Australia and Indonesia said they had foiled bomb plots and Malaysian security forces arrested suspected militants.

No group has claimed responsibility for the Mindanao attack, but Muslim rebels and Islamist extremists are known to be active in the province, where there have been blasts in the past.

Bernardo Tayong, Midsayap town police chief, said most of the injured had been standing outside the Sto. Nino parish church in Midsayap town, North Cotabato.

Father Jay Virador said the blast sent the congregation fleeing.

    Nothing say’s “Merry Christmas” like a grenade attack! (sarcasm)

    This a true “World War” I wonder when The West is going to stop bending over and start kicking the hell out of these savages.

    Your Christmas list must include a Glock 19/17, AR-15 carbine and a Mossberg 500 shotgun.

      Buford, My feelings exactly!! The UN and it’s minions are not pro-Christian!!! Neither are they Pro- Israeli!!! Just look at them telling Israel they must stop building in the West Bank, for their OWN people!!! I think the best thing we in the USA can do, is throw the bums out of the USA, and of course, the Muslim Obama pulls a fast one, and puts the screws on Israel!! Jets off to Hawaii, and spends taxpayer money… GOD!! All I want to see is Jan 20th, could not care less about the days in between now and then.. Now I live for 1-2o-17!! If you study numerology the number 9 is what this adds up to… 9 the ultimate number for CHANGE!!!
      My guess the Philiphine leadership will send their troops into this area, and kill as many Muslims as possible!!!! They have been fighting these pigs for generations… They know that these pigs must be dead, in order to have peace!!

    No group has claimed responsibility for the Mindanao attack

    We all know who the terrorists are… And they’re not Buddhists or Zoroastrians…

    Terrorism is a Monopoly of a Particular Setup, who do this to get their heaven(myth). So long as this teaching is rooted in the minds of that group from generation to generation, this phenomenon will be recurrent and it is proportional to the Strength of this particular Setup.

      That “particular Setup” would be Islam.

    Muslims.

    They are not happy enough murdering non-Muslims during their “high holy day” of Ramadan now they need to do it on Christmas too. Guess Easter is next.

    This is why Muslims should not be permitted access to any non-Muslim majority nation, ever.

      Muslims love attacking Infidels on their most joyous days.

      God, I hate Islam.
