#2 Note to ''Muslim moderates'': Time to start actively and publicly disowning your extremist kin; some people aren't going to be as reserved as Americans in lumping y'all together and taking all of you OUT if they get angry enough.

#3 As noted yesterday the MSM lables these people vigilanties but calls the muslims activists/insurgents

#4 Vigilante groups - why do they hate you? Just remember that this is a small group of extremists and that their views do not necessarily reflect those of the Filipino population in general. Look inside yourself and try to understand the root causes. You might wish to hold a festival to celebrate all that their rich culture offers. Have a nice day.

#5 It's push back. The past history of this group isn't so good. But they have a issue and it's being poorly addressed by the Phillipine government and the muslim community in the Phillipines.

#6 You'll know it's serious when the Thai Buddhists get out their machetes.

#7 Would it be tacky to tell the 'targets' ''what goes around comes around''?

#9 It's only tacky if you point and laugh while saying it. If you use a sincerely sympathetic tone, your reputation as a lady will remain secure. ;-) (Nb: only the tone need be sincere, not the sympathy.)
