Do you really believe it could never happen here? I am not so sure. Anything can happen. And Arroyo is nuts to think it will bring peace. It only confirms that violence and terror achieve results. Filipino Catholic Christians are among the most devout I know. So sad what is happening there. God protect and strengthen them.
Oh, I'll never say "never". I was just saying that we've usually been more civilized.
Actually, I fear for my country, and for the world, if the spread of Islam is not held in check. Which means, realistically, wiping it out. I do not know how to do that, short of a world-wide religious war. I am not prepared to suggest that's the only or best way, but I know of nothing else. Certainly, appeasement with land only encourages the spread.
