Islamists have threatened a Christian Bishop in the Philippines… (H/T: UP Pompeii)
Philippine bishop reports receiving threat to convert to Islam
MANILA, Philippines (CNS) — A bishop in the southern Philippines reported receiving a letter threatening him with harm if he does not convert to Islam or pay “Islamic taxes.”
Bishop Martin Jumoad of Isabela also told the Asian church news agency UCA News that he got text messages from Catholics saying they, too, had received threatening letters.
Bishop Jumoad said a student of Claret College in Isabela, the capital of Basilan province, was told to give the school secretary the letter to pass to the bishop.
The bishop sent a copy of the letter July 19 to church-run Radio Veritas in Quezon City, northeast of Manila.
The letter had the names “Puruji Indama” and “Nur Hassan J. Kallitut” printed at the bottom and “mujahedin” under each name. The purported senders introduced themselves as “Muslim warriors” who “don’t follow any laws other than the Quran,” Islam’s holy book.
They said Bishop Jumoad should choose to convert to Islam or give “jizya,” Islamic tax, to their group in exchange for protecting him in the “place of Muslims.”
If he refuses to convert or pay, the letter threatened “force, weapons or war may be used” against him. It warned him not to feel safe even if he is “surrounded by soldiers” and cited bombings in various cities.
Bishop Jumoad was given 15 days to respond, with two mobile phone numbers to contact.
“If we do not receive response from you, it means you will oppose,” the letter added.
A document written in the local dialect on the letterhead of “Al-Harakatul Islamiyya” accompanied the letter. The bishop said he did not recognize the names, but has encountered the phrase “Al-Harakatul” in kidnapping incidents in Basilan involving Abu Sayyaf, a guerrilla group named as a terrorist organization by various countries.
On July 21, CBCP News, the online news site of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, reported the kidnapping of five parishioners of St. Vincent Ferrer Parish in Sumisip.
St. Vincent Ferrer is among nine parishes of Isabela prelature, which covers all of Basilan, where 96,000 Catholics form 30 percent of the population. Except for the city of Isabela, the rest of the province belongs to the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
On July 22, provincial administrator Talib A. Barahim told UCA News that no one had reported receiving a ransom demand for the release of the parishioners. He said Gov. Jum Akbar of Basilan, the provincial police director and Basilan mayors met the previous day and planned to make a “citizen’s arrest.”
He added that he was aware of the threatening letters sent to Bishop Jumoad and other Catholics.
In Manila July 21, Hamid Barra, Muslim convener of the Bishops-Ulama Conference, said that according to the teachings of Islam, life is sacred. He recited a verse from the Quran that says whoever kills a person without justification kills all people.
The expert on Islamic law also explained that non-Muslims who are protected by an Islamic government are required to pay jizya, which the state uses to support the poor and the needy.
In a non-Islamic country like the Philippines, “there is no such payment required of non-Muslims,” he said.
Such brazenness in a country where over 86% of the population is Christian, 9% is Muslim and the remaining 5% is divided among various groups such as: Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, animists and non-believers.
Even if those who sent these letters are no more than common criminals who use religion as a mere tool, the fact that they chose to represent themselves as Muslims is in itself significant. But Muslim brazenness does not stop there, unfortunately, this one is far from an isolated case! Remember the kidnapped and murdered Chaldean archbishop of Mosul, Mgr Faraj Rahho? What about the plight of Assyrian Christians in Iraq? What about the Sabian Mandaeans? Or the plight of Christians girls kidnapped in Nigeria by practitioners of the Religion of Peace? What about the treatment of Christian Copts in Egypt? Ot the threats against Western politicians like Geert Wilders or Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi? The list, gentle reader, goes on and on ad nauseum…
Muslims in the West want every right conceivable, even demanding the host country should pay for their Imams and their schools, in effect making the infidels non-Muslim majority pay them the jizya tax even if there is no such requirement. Yet, it is quite obvious they have no intention of allowing infidels in their midst.
In the Holy Land, in the Palestinian controlled areas, Christians are slowly disappearing because of fear, because of oppression. Bethlehem, for example, which not too long ago had an overwhelming majority of Christians is now mostly Muslim, as the Christian community keeps on dwindling. The Christians there goes back to biblical times, to a time when Allah was still a pagan moon god and centuries before Mohammed (PBUH!) was even born. Let’s face it, gentle reader, the IslamoFascists want to drive the Christians and any other infidels from all of Araby as well as the rest of the planet.
As for those liberals who so love that putrid little maggot Ahmedinajad, because he is anti-American and anti-Israel I wonder how they’ll react to these news which the Western MSM will totally ignore:
IRAN: TORTURED CHRISTIAN FLEES
‘I have no doubt they wanted to kill me,’ says former Muslim.
ANKARA, July 21 (Compass Direct News) – Days after his release from a month of interrogations and severe torture under secret police custody, Iranian Christian Mohsen Namvar has fled across the border into Turkey with his family. Traveling by train, the badly beaten Christian arrived July 2 in eastern Turkey with his wife and son. Namvar, 44, had been held incommunicado by a branch of Sepah (the Iranian Revolutionary Guards) from May 31 until June 26, when authorities told his family they were releasing him “temporarily.” Although the secret police demanded $43,000 in bail, officers refused to issue a court receipt for the family’s cash payment. At the time of his release, Namvar was experiencing fever, severe back pain, extremely high blood pressure, uncontrollable shaking of his limbs and recurring short-term memory loss. “I have no doubt they wanted to kill me,” Namvar told Compass. According to Namvar, who converted from Islam to Christianity as a teenager, his severe physical mistreatment stemmed from his refusal to give the police any names or information about other converts and house church groups in Iran.
So what do you think of this ever so peaceful religion of peace, gentle reader? Oh, I have no doubt I will be accused of fear mongering, of being a bigot, worshipers of Noam Chomsky and his ilk will hurl insults at me and claim to read things I never wrote since they are incapable of reasoned adult argument. Aah, such self induced blindness, such brainlessness. A mind is truly a terrible thing to waste… Pity!

In a country that that is 86% Christian, Muslim thugs demand a Bishop convert to Islam.. or else!…
Insane, plain and simple. I just don’t understand those people (and I use the word ‘people’ very loosely!).
