A Gift From Islam: Eleven Hurt in Philippines Christmas Day Church Bombing
The ultraviolent, supremacist cult of Mohammed shows its disrespect
of other faiths even on their holiest days:
Six Eleven people were wounded Saturday when a bomb went off in a
church during Christmas mass on a southern Philippine island known as a hotbed
of Islamic extremism, the military said. Military spokesman Lieutenant Randolph
Cabangbang said the Abu Sayyaf, a local Muslim militant group linked to the
Al-Qaeda network, may have been behind the attack on the church in a police camp
on Jolo island.
“There is a possibility that this could be the handiwork of the Abu Sayyaf
because they have been perpetrating similar attacks against the Catholic
church,” Cabangbang said.
“The explosion occurred at around 7:15 in the morning while the mass was
going on. Six people were slightly wounded in the explosion,’ he said.
Among those wounded was the priest officiating the mass, he added. Regional
police director Chief Superintendent Felicisimo Khu said the bomb was a small
device that went off near the altar. He said the bomb caused so few injuries
because it contained no shrapnel [how considerate of them - Ed].
Police investigators were searching the site for clues as to who might have
been behind the blast, Cabangbang said. He added that besides the Abu Sayyaf,
other possible suspects included individuals with a personal grudge against the
police.
A spokesman for President Benigno Aquino condemned the incident, saying it
violated “the basic tenets of respect”.
“This assault on the peace cannot be
justified on political or religious grounds,” spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a
statement.
Although no one claimed responsibility for the attack, Bishop Jose Colin
Bagaforo, who is also based in the southern Philippines, said Christians in Jolo
had been threatened by Muslims.
“There are communities that are being threatened for being Christian. They
are receiving threats coming from so-called fundamentalist Muslims,” he told
AFP.
“They’re being intimidated by words. Many times they are being disturbed in
their gatherings for worship,” he said.
He called on authorities to provide
security and assure the safety of Christians in areas like Jolo, which is
predominantly Muslim, unlike most of the rest of the overwhelmingly Roman
Catholic Philippines.
Security has been tightened in the island in the wake
of the blast.
The Abu Sayyaf, a gang of self-styled Islamic militants founded in the 1990s
with seed money from Osama bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda network, has long used Jolo as a
base, carrying out kidnappings and bombings.
It is believed to have carried
out the worst militant attacks in the Philippines including the bombing of a
passenger ferry in Manila Bay that killed more than 100 people in 2004.
It has also kidnapped many foreigners and Filipino Christians, including
priests and nuns, often hiding them in the jungles of Jolo and other southern
islands.
US forces have been deployed in the southern Philippines since 2002
to train local troops in hunting down the Abu Sayyaf.
A roadside bomb believed planted by the Abu Sayyaf killed two US soldiers on
Jolo in September last year.
Is it possible to even concieve of a more depraved act than a
Christmas Day Church bombing? Islam and it adherents show once again that the
so-called Religion of Peace in no way deserves to be afforded the respect
accorded to a religious faith.

On the basis of
the evidence since 9/11 alone, It is nothing other than a criminal
enterprise; a violent, supremacist cult that despises and violates outsiders;
working to to undermine and ultimately to destroy host societies.
