In Ramadan, a holy act. The clerics in this church must have insulted Muhammad in some way, right? They must have poked the poor dears in the eye.
No? Their only crime was being Christian? Appeasement and accommodation will only encourage more jihad violence? What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?

“Wicked men and imposters advance from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived (2 Timothy 3:13).”
No place on earth is safe from these workers for the devil.
John Hawk says
A whole lot of Ramadan violence. The common thread must be mental illness.

Sir.Winston Churchill wrote that ISLAM IN A MUSLIM WAS LIKE RABIES IN A DOG.HOW TRUE!!!!
mortimer says
Agree… RAMADAN THE MONTH OF HYDROPHOBIA, HATE and ISLAMIC JIHAD ATTACKS against the dirty kufaar.
WPM says
Islam is a mental illness it drives normal people stock raving mad, in every part of the world the only common thread is Islam.
CogitoErgoSum says
In this world there are those who are builders and there are those who are destroyers. The religion of the Christ (the carpenter who made things for others) appeals to the builders; the religion of Muhammad (the plunderer who lived by taking from others) appeals to the destroyers.
PRCS says
The Muslim insurgency is not a new problem in the Philippines.

But this latest attack IS an escalation.
gravenimage says
Agreed, PRCS. Muslims are becoming emboldened all over the world.

Eastern Hemisphere is all Dharmic Territories:
Buddh/Vedic/Jain/Sikh/Zarathustra/ISKCON etc.
Vedic Roots of Civilization – book by Stephen Knapp explains all.
All states must be secular. Religion is important – so too is sanity and freedom. The idea a child is born sinner is criminally insane.
We are born divine: let’s stay that way – Divine Life Society of Sivananda is good. Af-pak region is Dharmic as is filipines.

Your idea that the Philippines is Hindu-majority is mistaken, pnr.
I do wish that the Philippines’ second-largest religion was Hinduism instead of Islam, though–it would be a far saner and more peaceful place.
And you may declare that Afghanistan and Pakistan are actually Hindu–but the savage Muslim-majority there will disagree with you–probably violently.
Patricia F Koenig says
Your assertion that persons are born divine is egotistical. The Christian view that persons are born with a tendency towards selfishness is quite obvious. Your assertion that the Christian view is criminally insane is stupid.
Manny says
That was horrible. These are satan’s minions. I’m praying for their conversion. May God have mercy on their souls.
John Hawk says
I’ll hope for a Gen. Mattis conversion: “There are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”
Pam Minnick says
I wish Muslims would finally start telling the truth and admit, this is what Islam is all about. If any have the balls to even comment on this, they’ll say that these aren’t really Muslims, or that these are just the minority, that the majority are peaceful. But then again, what would you expect from a group that can be brainwashed by a evil dead man, who saw nothing wrong with inner breeding with their 1st cousins.

This was written by Pope Benedict XVl 2006
It is long reading but interesting. The full piece is a link below.
https://www.firstthings.com/article/2006/01/europe-and-its-discontents
The last element of the European identity is religion. I do not wish to enter into the complex discussion of recent years, but to highlight one issue that is fundamental to all cultures: respect for that which another group holds sacred, especially respect for the sacred in the highest sense, for God, which one can reasonably expect to find even among those who are not willing to believe in God. When this respect is violated in a society, something essential is lost. In European society today, thank goodness, anyone who dishonors the faith of Israel, its image of God, or its great figures must pay a fine. The same holds true for anyone who dishonors the Koran and the convictions of Islam. But when it comes to Jesus Christ and that which is sacred to Christians, freedom of speech becomes the supreme good.
This case illustrates a peculiar Western self-hatred that is nothing short of pathological. It is commendable that the West is trying to be more open, to be more understanding of the values of outsiders, but it has lost all capacity for self-love. All that it sees in its own history is the despicable and the destructive; it is no longer able to perceive what is great and pure. What Europe needs is a new self-acceptance, a self-acceptance that is critical and humble, if it truly wishes to survive.
Multiculturalism, which is so passionately promoted, can sometimes amount to an abandonment and denial, a flight from one’s own things. Multiculturalism teaches us to approach the sacred things of others with respect, but we can do this only if we ourselves are not estranged from the sacred, from God. With regard to others, it is our duty to cultivate within ourselves respect for the sacred and to show the face of the revealed God—the God who has compassion for the poor and the weak, for widows and orphans, for the foreigner; the God who is so human that he himself became man, a man who suffered, and who by his suffering with us gave dignity and hope to our pain.

Thanks for this post.
WPM says
It was a long read ,but very good and shows how great mind he has.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
@WPM
Certainly has.
A living Saint.

Good post, Malcolm.
Kay says
Heartbreaking.
I wonder if the Pope, the Cardinals and the Bishops are aware of this. And what has happened with the priest who was recently kidnapped?
Malcolm (South Afric) says
You are welcome Kay.

Ramadan video from the Philippines: Muslims smash church statues, set fire to church
………………………..
*Deeply* disturbing.
And what would these Jihadists have done if they had run across some Christians? I doubt their violence would have ended with the destruction of pictures and statues.
mortimer says
RAMADAN JIHAD FESTIVAL… KILLING KAFIRS IS A SMALL MATTER TO US.
If Western Christians think church vandalism and assassination only happen elsewhere, guess again.
It is already happening, lightly reported.
abad says
Islam is evil to its very core.
Baucent says
That video is very similar to what we saw happen in Mosul, Iraq. The Philippines need to wake up, they have ISIS fanatics that need to be crushed.
