I thought it interesting, though not too surprising, that the phrase to "run amok" comes from the peace-loving murderous pirates of Islam.

My only beef with the article was the notion that Christianity was forced on the Philippines, while the impression is given that islam was always there.

Islam has never spread but by force.

Keen observations, Watchin. It may be that that which is spread by force can be stopped only by force.
