Friday, January 29. 2010A community approach to peacebuilding
Years of experience in conflict areas have taught us some solid lessons to chart a road map in peacebuilding.
The lessons do not have chronological order neither do these come in sequence. Most often, they all come together as if they undergird each other in the concrete community peacebuilding. Each lesson provides a direction in an on-going journey and it is, definitely, not a finished enterprise. The first lesson is the process of establishing a good relation with the neighbors. The word “neighbors” refers to members of the concrete neighborhood without exception. The Parable of a Good Samaritan comes handy in understanding this lesson. There are two ways to establish a good neighborhood relationship. One is to approach it through the leaders of the neighborhood that also includes religious like pastors, parish priests, ulamas, and babaylans. Once good relations among leaders are established, it is easily replicated among their constituents. The other approach is a simple house to house or family to family good relation, which is actually the real meaning of good neighborhood relation. There are simple expressions of this relation. A sharing of salt and rice as people eke their living becomes a powerful symbol of a shared life. Good neighborliness is, also, expressed in the natural capacity to celebrate together festivals and feast days like Christmas, Easter, Idul-Fitr, Idul Adha, etc. The meals shared during the celebrations of weddings, rites of initiation, graduation, career promotion, and deaths are few examples of solidarity in action that goes beyond the borders and frontiers of religions and ethnicities. The second lesson is the process of building a partnership based on common “stakeholdership” between and among members of the neighborhood. This partnership bears fruit in common actions for the benefits of the community. This type of partnership is, clearly, demonstrated in common actions like building farm to market roads, involvement in local infrastructures – repair of local schools, waste disposal, and management of potable water and health facilities. The leadership in the local community is crucial in building the needed cohesion of members to undertake these local infrastructures. The second leads to the third lesson that requires the development of capacities in the neighborhood. Usually this takes training towards common undertakings like community firefighters, carpentry and masonry in local public works or building temporary shelters for refugees/displaced. There is the need for training to capacitate local leaders, especially religious and civic leaders as MEDIATORS and HEALERS. The local parish priest, pastor, Imam, school principal and community officials are natural mediators and healers. Often, it is a question of recognizing and harnessing this “occupational” quality in peacebuilding and peacemaking at the grass roots. The fourth lesson is the need for ‘sacred’ place. The local churches, mosques, convents, madaris and schools can be ‘sacred’ places of healing and reconciliation. These institutions can provide ‘sanctuaries’ for the victims. They are natural fora for the shared stories and they can, also, ritualize forgiveness and healing in the neighborhood. There is so much talk on the theme of trauma healing and yet there are few stories that tell of ‘wounded’ and ‘scarred’ people exchanging their tragedies to empower them to ‘pick up the pieces’ and move forward. The wounds remain fresh and the bitterness hardens the hearts. They “lick their wounds, bury their dead” and they try to move forward, often, in pains and bitterness. The fifth lesson in peacemaking is the capacity to mobilize the stakeholders, particularly the religious and civic leaders, to become active participants in peacemaking and peace building. Often, the stakeholders’ call for cessation of hostilities serves as real pressure on warring parties to go back to the negotiating table. They can also soften “hardened” positions in order to advance the peace process. The active involvement of religious and civic leaders, often, provides the ‘glue’ in social cohesion that is absolutely necessary in peacemaking and peacebuilding. No doubt, religions, at times, are the causes of divisions; yet they are also very potent sources in building consensus for any peace agreement or political settlement. The sixth lesson is the need to build local institutions/mechanisms (Councils, Committees and Task Forces) that empower local communities for continuing active participation and actions towards peace making and peace building. The warring parties may sign peace agreements and political settlements. But peace agreement does not always lead to peace! Peace panels come and go. And peace panels are no guarantee also. Ultimately, the true test of any peace agreement is a good neighborhood is established where people live not only side by side but a real community of friends that guarantees good relationship and partnership notwithstanding differences.

it is impossible to attain peace in such a narrow-minded people(i mean take a look to what just happened recently in Maguindanao)the warring clans was used to be brothers in politics,prosperity and crimes now they´re enemies to each other due of their political ambitions in life.
muslim refuse to accept non-muslim people to exist in their so called territories but they(muslim)people also invading non-muslim areas,this scenario is truly a game of time where everyone has to participate in which group they want to join....para bang sa pula o sa puti na kung susuriin mong mabuti parehong may gawang tama at mali. mali dahil naging sakim sila,tama dahil gusto nilang proteksyunan ang interes ng kanilang pamumuhay at kapangyarihan manatili sa kanilang mataas na posisyon na kanilang kinalalagyan maging sila man ay muslim,kristiyano,buddist,hindu o pagano. malabong magkaroon ng kapayapaan hangga´t ang mga tao ay nahahati sa iba´t-ibang prinsipyo at paniniwala. Mr. Analyzer
1-i think you must analyze that waring clan for position in politics is not a problem only of Moro people in mindanao, but entire the world, other that there is a cold war between countries, and this is for position in this world, because much of common countries wanted to be super power. i hope this is enough answer to your narrow analyst . . . 2-we didn't refuse non-Muslim peoples to exist in our territories and we are not invading any land, why don't you go back the history, why the Moro People distrust the government of the Philippines ? and only the Moro distrust the government dahil nandyan ang NDF, and etc. . .why the christian had a land in Mindanao ? it's not due to the generosity of Mindanaoans. . .?!how many Massacre occured in Mindanao by Philippine Military and during Ilagas whos is a christian from Luzon and Visayas na Victima ng maling Goberno,. . . lastly: bakit hindi gawin ng mga christian na dati ay mga taga Luzon at Visayas na magsikap para makabalik sila sa dati nilang mga lupa na ipinaglaban pa ng kanilang ninono, gaya nila mabini, na lompo pero hindi nya minsan naisip na mang agaw ng lupa at lisanin ang kanyang lupang sinilangan i agree. mejo mahirap magkaroon ng peace satin...
tama ka analyzer ngunit bakit sa ibang bansa na may iba ibang prinsipyo o paniniwala ay may kapayapaan? Sa America halimbawa makakaliwa o kanan ay may boses sa lipunan. Sa Europa ang mga bansang kailan lang nakakawala sa pagkakahawak ng Russia o USSR ay nagkaroon na ng kapayapaan at kaunlaran? Sa Pilipinas ilang daang taon na ba na nating sinsabi na tayo ay malaya na? mahigit 100 taon?
Isa lang ang punot dulo ng kaguluhan sa ating bansa iyon ay "KASAKIMAN" na nabanggit ni Analyzer. Hanggat hindi nawawala o mabwasan man lamang kasakiman sa dugo ng bawat Pilipino malayo nating maatim ang minimithing kapayapaan at kaunlaran!! Napalitan na ng "AVATAR" ang "Star Wars" ala pa ring kapayapaan sa Pilipinas..Bago kaya mapalitan ang AVATAR may Kapayapaan na kaya sa ating bansang Pilipinas? Fr Mercado was trying to work for peace in this article. It's a long shot. Doable? Well....maybe. But it will take alot of effort. I say not in this era. But its a starter.
Analyser already pointed out the facts. I need not to say more. wag tayo mawalan ng pag-asa, kapayapaan sa lahat!
This peace in Mindanao will not come in our lifetime..not in the next generation...not in one century...not even in two....In fact peace will never come.
The reason: It is because of a lot of Islamic teachings are centered on war especially their beloved Mohammad....
 :)  Exactly. The concept of mohammed was to implant hatreat among non islam.
Peace to you my friend. Yes, limited knowledge is dangerous. You have sooo little knowledge about Islam and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that's why you have to say that.
You don't see the real picture. There's no co-existence if there's no mutual respect. Muslims love Jesus because he is a prophet of God. Expand your knowledge and learn Islam before time is too short for you.

Read this then show me your "intelligence":
Ishaq:208 "When Allah gave permission to his Apostle to fight, the second Aqaba contained conditions involving war which were not in the first act of submission.Now we bound themselves to war against all mankind for Allah and His Apostle He promised us a reward in Paradise for faithful service. We pledged ourselves to war in complete obedience to Muhammad no matter how evil the circumstances*." Ishaq:472 "Muhammad's Companions are the best in war." Qur'an:8:7 "Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: 'Wipe the infidels out to the last.*'" Qur'an:8:12 "Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: 'I am with you. Give firmness to the Believers. I will terrorize the unbelievers Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.'" Qur'an:8:15 "Believers, when you meet unbelieving infidels in battle while you are marching for war, never turn your backs to them. If any turns his back on such a day, unless it be in a stratagem of war, a maneuver to rally his side, he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell, an evil refuge!" Qur'an:8:39 "So, fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam." Qur'an:8:45 "O believers! When you meet an army, be firm, and think of Allah's Name much; that you may prosper." Qur'an:8:57 "If you meet them in battle, inflict on them such a defeat as would be a lesson for those who come after them, that they may be warned." Qur'an:8:58 "If you apprehend treachery from any group on the part of a people (with whom you have a treaty), retaliate by breaking off (relations) with them. The infidels should not think that they can bypass (the law or punishment of Allah). Surely they cannot get away." [Another translation reads:] "The unbelieving infidels should not think that they can bypass Islam; surely they cannot escape." Qur'an:8:59 "The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah's enemy." Qur'an:8:60 "And make ready against the infidels all of the power you can, including steeds of war [the Noble Qur'an says these are: tanks, planes, missiles, and artillery] to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy. And whatever you spend in Allah's Cause shall be repaid unto you." [Another translation reads:] "Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah, and others besides them not known to you. Whatever you spend in Allah's Cause will be repaid in full, and no wrong will be done to you." Qur'an:8:71 "He will give you mastery over them." Ishaq:204 "'Men, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man?' 'Yes. In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging to wage war against all mankind.'" Ishaq:471 "We are steadfast trusting Him. We have a Prophet by whom we will conquer all men." Qur'an:4:77 "Lord, why have You ordained fighting for us, why have You made war compulsory?" Qur'an:4:71 "Believers, take precautions and advance in detachments or go (on expeditions) together in one troop.'" Ishaq:322 "Allah said, 'Do not turn away from Muhammad when he is speaking to you. Do not contradict his orders. And do not be a hypocrite, one who pretends to be obedient to him and then disobeys him. Those who do so will receive My vengeance. You must respond to the Apostle when he summons you to war." Ishaq:544 "Hassan incited the men, reciting: 'This is the time for war. Don't feel safe from us. Our swords will open the door to death.'" Bukhari:V5B57N1 "Allah's Apostle said, 'A time will come when a group of Muslims will wage a Holy War and it will be said,"Is there anyone who has accompanied Allah's Apostle?" They will say, "Yes." And so victory will be bestowed on them.'" Ishaq:574 "In faith I do not fear the army of fate. He gave us the blood of their best men to drink when we led our army against them. We are a great army with a pungent smell. And we attack continuously, wherever our enemy is found." Qur'an:9:5 "When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, beleaguer them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war." Qur'an:67:20 "Who is he that will send an army to assist you besides Ar-Rahman?" Tabari IX:115 "The military expeditions (Ghazawat) in which the Messenger personally participated were twenty-six. Some say there were twenty-seven." Tabari IX:118 "The armies and raiding parties sent by the Messenger of Allah between the time he came to Medina and his death (ten years) was forty-eight." Qur'an:48:15 "Those who lagged behind (will say), when you marched forth to capture booty in war: 'Permit us to follow you.'" Qur'an:47:20 "Those who believe say, 'How is it that no surah was sent down (for us)?' But when a categorical [definite or uncompromising] surah is revealed, and fighting and war (Jihad, holy fighting in Allah's Cause) are ordained, you will see those with diseased hearts looking at you (Muhammad) fainting unto death. Therefore woe to them!" Tabari VIII:159 "The people began to throw dust at the army, saying, 'You retreating runaways. You fled in the Cause of Allah!' But the Messenger said, 'They are not fleers. Allah willing, they are ones who will return to fight another day." Qur'an:9:25 "Assuredly, Allah did give you victory on many battlefields.... Allah did send down His forces (angels) which you saw not. He punished the Infidels. Such is their reward." Qur'an:9:41 "March forth (equipped) with light or heavy arms. Strive with your goods and your lives in the Cause of Allah. That is best for you." Ishaq:548 "The squadrons of the Messenger, composed of Emigrants and Ansar in iron armor with only their eyes visible, passed by. His company had become great. Woe to you, none can withstand him. It was all due to his prophetic office." Tabari IX:20 "The Messenger and his companions went directly to Ta'if. They encamped there for a fortnight, waging war. The townsfolk fought the Muslims from behind the fort. None came out in the open. All of the surrounding people surrendered and sent their delegations to the Prophet. After besieging Ta'if for twenty days, Muhammad left and halted at Ji'ranah where the captives of Hunayn were held with their women and children. It is alleged that those captives taken numbered six thousand with women and children." Tabari VIII:176 "The Prophet sent out his army in divisions. Zubayr was in charge of the left wing. He was ordered to make an entry with his forces from Kuda. Sa'd was commanded to enter with forces by way of Kada. Allah's Apostle said, 'Today is a day for battle and war. Sanctuary is no more. Today the sacred territory is deemed profane [ungodly and sacrilegious].' When one of the Muhajirs [Emigrants] heard him say this, he warned the Apostle, 'It is to be feared that you would resort to violence.' The Prophet ordered Ali to go after him, to take the flag from him, and fight with it himself." Tabari IX:8 "The Messenger marched with 2,000 Meccans and 10,000 of his Companions who had come with him to facilitate the conquest of Mecca. Thus there were 12,000 in all." Bukhari:V5B59N320 "Allah's Apostle said, 'When your enemy comes near shoot at them but use your arrows sparingly (so that they are not wasted).'" Ishaq:572 "Muhammad is the man, an Apostle of my Lord. Evil was the state of our enemy so they lost the day. Fortunes change and we came upon them like lions from the thickets. The armies of Allah came openly, flying at them in rage, so they could not get away. We destroyed them and forced them to surrender. In the former days there was no battle like this; their blood flowed freely. We slew them and left them in the dust. Those who escaped were choked with terror. A multitude of them were slain. This is Allah's war in which those who do not accept Islam will have no helper. War destroyed the tribe and fate the clan." Ishaq:580 "We helped Allah's Apostle, angry on his account, with a thousand warriors. We carried his flag on the end of our lances. We were his helpers, protecting his banner in deadly combat. We dyed it with blood, for that was its color. We were the Prophet's right arm in Islam. We were his bodyguards before other troops served him. We helped him against his opponents. Allah richly rewarded that fine Prophet Muhammad." Ishaq:583 "Since you have made Khalid chief of the army and promoted him, he has become a chief indeed, leading an army guided by Allah. Firmly clad in mail, warriors with lances leveled, we are a strong force not unlike a rushing torrent. We smite the wicked while we swear an oath to Muhammad...fighting in the quest of booty." Ishaq:586 "Red blood flowed because of our rage." Ishaq:587 "Ka'b reacted to the Apostle's decision. He said, 'We put an end to doubt at Khaybar. If our swords could have spoken, their blades would have said, "Give us Daus or Thaqif. We will tear off the roofs in Wajj. We will make homes desolate. Our cavalry will come upon you leaving behind a tangled mass. When we assault a town they sound a cry of alarm but our sharp cutting swords flash like lightning. By them we bring death to those who struggle against us. Flowing blood was mingled with saffron the morn the forces met. They were taken by surprise and we surrounded their walls with our troops. Our leader, the Prophet, was firm, steadfast, and full of wisdom. He was not frivolous nor light minded. We obey our Prophet and we obey a Lord who is Compassionate [Ar-Rahman]. We make you partners in peace and war. If you refuse we will fight you doggedly." Ishaq:602 "The Apostle ordered Muslims to prepare for a military expedition so that he could raid the Byzantines." Qur'an:47:4 "When you clash with unbelieving Infidels in battle, strike and overpower them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, make them prisoners in bondage until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded. He lets you fight in order to test you. Those who are slain in Allah's Cause will never have their deeds go to waste." Qur'an:61:14 "O Muslims! Be helpers of Allah...We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they prevailed." Ishaq:441 "A sharp sword in the hand of a brave man kills his adversary." Muslim:C34B20N4669 "The Prophet said: 'He who equips a warrior in the Way of Allah is like one who actually fights and he who looks after the family of a warrior in the Allah's Cause in fact participated in the battle.'" Muslim:52B20N4711 "I heard the Messenger delivering a sermon from the pulpit: 'Prepare to meet them with as much strength as you can afford. Beware, strength consists in archery. Beware, strength consists in archery. Beware, strength consists in archery.'" Muslim:52B20N4712 "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Lands shall be thrown open to you and Allah will suffice you against your enemies, but none of you should give up playing with his arrows.'" Qur'an:100:1 "I call to witness the (cavalry steeds), the (snorting courses), that run breathing pantingly (rushing off to battle), striking sparks of fire, scouring to the raid at dawn, raising clouds of dust as they penetrate deep into the midst of a foe en masse." Qur'an:21:44 "Do they see Us advancing, gradually reducing the land (in their control), curtailing its borders on all sides? It is they who will be overcome." Ishaq:322 "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who reject Me. So strike off their heads and cut off their fingers. All who oppose Me and My Prophet shall be punished severely." Qur'an:13:41 "Do they not see Us advancing from all sides into the land (of the disbelievers), reducing its borders (by giving it to believers in war victories)?" Qur'an:33:22 "When the faithful saw the retreating allied armies this enhanced their faith and obedience...Allah drove the infidels back in their fury so that their resistance was futile." Ishaq:404 "War has distracted me, but blame me not, 'tis my habit. Struggling with the burdens it imposes, I bear arms bestride my horse at a cavalry's gallop, running like a wild ass in the desert." Ishaq:4503 "It is your folly to fight the Apostle, for Allah's army is bound to disgrace you. Leaders of the infidels, why did you not learn?" Tabari VIII:12 Ishaq:451 "I have heard some stories about the digging of the trench in which there is an example of Allah justifying His Apostle and confirming his prophetic office. For example, Muhammad spat on a rock, sprinkled water on it, and it crumbled. Then the Apostle said, 'I struck the first blow and what you saw flash out was that Iraq and Persia would see dog's teeth. Gabriel informed me that my nation would be victorious over them. Then I struck my second blow, and what flashed out was for the pale men in the land of the Byzantines to be bitten by the dog's teeth. Gabriel informed me that my nation would be victorious over them. Then I struck my third blow and Gabriel told me that my nation would be victorious over Yemen. Rejoice, victory shall come. This increased the Muslims faith and submission." Tabari VIII:13 "These cities were conquered in the time of Umar, Uthman, and others, Muslims used to say, 'Conquer for yourselves whatever seems good to you; for by Allah you have conquered no city but that Muhammad was given its keys beforehand.'" Ishaq:475 "Allah commanded that horses should be kept for His enemy in the fight so they might vex them. We obeyed our Prophet's orders when he called us to war. When he called for violent efforts we made them. The Prophet's command is obeyed for he is truly believed. He will give us victory, glory, and a life of ease. Those who call Muhammad a liar disbelieve and go astray. They attacked our religion and would not submit." Ishaq:489 "War is kindled by passing winds. Our swords glitter, cutting through pugnacious heads. Allah puts obstacles in our victims' way to protect His sacred property and our dignity." Qur'an:24:55 "Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good work that He will make them rulers of the earth. He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them." Ishaq:594 "The Apostle gave gifts to those whose hearts were to be won over, notably the chiefs of the army, to win them and through them the people." Qur'an:5:33 "The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive after corruption, making mischief in the land [those who refuse to surrender to Islam] is murder, execution, crucifixion, the cutting off of hands and feet on opposite sides, or they should be imprisoned. That is their degradation and disgrace in this world. And a great torment of an awful doom awaits them in the hereafter. Except for those who repent (and become Muslims) before you overpower them and they fall into your control."

Hahaha...nabasa mo na ba ang Bible? gusto mo ng sample...
Murder in the Bible The act of murder is rampant in the Bible. In much of the Bible, especially the Old Testament, there are laws that command that people be killed for absurd reasons such as working on the Sabbath, being gay, cursing your parents, or not being a virgin on your wedding night. In addition to these crazy and immoral laws, there are plenty of examples of God's irrationality by his direct killing of many people for reasons that defy any rational explanation such as killing children who make fun of bald people, and the killing of a man who tried to keep the ark of God from falling during transport. There are also countless examples of mass murders commanded by God, including the murder of women, infants, and children. The following passages are a very small percentage of the total passages approving of murder in the Bible. They are divided here into three parts: 1) Capital Punishment Crimes, 2) God's Murders for Stupid Reasons, 3) Murdering Children, and 4) Miscellaneous Murders. This list is long, but it barely scratches the surface of all the murders approved of in the Bible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Capital Punishment Crimes: Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT) Kill Witches You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB) Kill Homosexuals "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB) Kill Fortunetellers A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB) Death for Hitting Dad Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB) Death for Cursing Parents 1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB) 2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT) Death for Adultery If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT) Death for Fornication A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB) Death to Followers of Other Religions Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB) Kill Nonbelievers They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB) Kill False Prophets If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB) Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT) Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB) Kill Followers of Other Religions. 1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB) 2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT) Death for Blasphemy One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men. During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name. So the man was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death. Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished. Anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die. (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT) Kill False Prophets 1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles, and the predicted signs or miracles take place. If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them. The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt. Since they try to keep you from following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among you. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT) 2) But any prophet who claims to give a message from another god or who falsely claims to speak for me must die.' You may wonder, 'How will we know whether the prophecy is from the LORD or not?' If the prophet predicts something in the LORD's name and it does not happen, the LORD did not give the message. That prophet has spoken on his own and need not be feared. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT) Infidels and Gays Should Die So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too. (Romans 1:24-32 NLT) Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle For the LORD had said to Moses, 'Exempt the tribe of Levi from the census; do not include them when you count the rest of the Israelites. You must put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and its equipment as you travel, and they must care for it and camp around it. Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will take it down and set it up again. Anyone else who goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.' (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT) Kill People for Working on the Sabbath The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) God's Murders for Stupid Reasons: Kill Brats From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB) God Kills the Curious And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and' fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter. And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? (1Samuel 6:19-20 ASV) Killed by a Lion Meanwhile, the LORD instructed one of the group of prophets to say to another man, "Strike me!" But the man refused to strike the prophet. Then the prophet told him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me." And sure enough, when he had gone, a lion attacked and killed him. (1 Kings 20:35-36 NLT) Killing the Good Samaritan The ark of God was placed on a new cart and taken away from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab guided the cart, with Ahio walking before it, while David and all the Israelites made merry before the Lord with all their strength, with singing and with citharas, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals. When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God to steady it, for the oxen were making it tip. But the Lord was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before God. (2 Samuel 6:3-7 NAB) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Murdering Children Kill Sons of Sinners Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB) God Will Kill Children The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT) Kill Men, Women, and Children "Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT) God Kills all the First Born of Egypt And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed. Pharaoh and his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died. (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT) Kill Old Men and Young Women "You are my battle-ax and sword," says the LORD. "With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and rulers. "As you watch, I will repay Babylon and the people of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done to my people in Jerusalem," says the LORD. "Look, O mighty mountain, destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy," says the LORD. "I will raise my fist against you, to roll you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely wiped out," says the LORD. (Jeremiah 51:20-26) (Note that after God promises the Israelites a victory against Babylon, the Israelites actually get their butts kicked by them in the next chapter. So much for an all-knowing and all-powerful God.) God Will Kill the Children of Sinners If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT) More Rape and Baby Killing Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Miscellaneous Murders More of Samson's Murders (The Lord saves Sampson from standing trial for 30 murders and arson by allowing him to kill 1000 more men.) When he reached Lehi, and the Philistines came shouting to meet him, the spirit of the Lord came upon him: the ropes around his arms become as flax that is consumed by fire and the bonds melted away from his hands. Near him was the fresh jawbone of an ass; he reached out, grasped it, and with it killed a thousand men. (Judges 15:14-15 NAB) Peter Kills Two People There was also a man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. He brought part of the money to the apostles, but he claimed it was the full amount. His wife had agreed to this deception. Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren't lying to us but to God." As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. Then some young men wrapped him in a sheet and took him out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, "Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?" "Yes," she replied, "that was the price." And Peter said, "How could the two of you even think of doing a thing like this – conspiring together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Just outside that door are the young men who buried your husband, and they will carry you out, too." Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear gripped the entire church and all others who heard what had happened. (Acts 5:1-11 NLT) Mass Murder This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.' (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB) You Have to Kill Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood. (Jeremiah 48:10 NAB) The Danites Kill the Next Town But the territory of the Danites was too small for them; so the Danites marched up and attacked Leshem, which they captured and put to the sword. Once they had taken possession of Lesham, they renamed the settlement after their ancestor Dan. (Joshua 19:47 NAB) God Kills Some More Then the LORD said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading for these people, I wouldn't help them. Away with them! Get them out of my sight! And if they say to you, 'But where can we go?' tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: Those who are destined for death, to death; those who are destined for war, to war; those who are destined for famine, to famine; those who are destined for captivity, to captivity.' "I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," says the LORD. "I will send the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, the vultures to devour, and the wild animals to finish up what is left. Because of the wicked things Manasseh son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem, I will make my people an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth." (Jeremiah 15:1-4 NLT) God Promises More Killing I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to escape and any who return. I will fill your mountains with the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your streams will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword. I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD. (Ezekiel 35:7-9 NLT) The Angel of Death My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites; and I will wipe them out. (Exodus 23:23 NAB) Destruction of Ai Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the entire army and attack Ai, for I have given to you the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. You will destroy them as you destroyed Jericho and its king. But this time you may keep the captured goods and the cattle for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city." So Joshua and the army of Israel set out to attack Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand fighting men and sent them out at night with these orders: "Hide in ambush close behind the city and be ready for action. When our main army attacks, the men of Ai will come out to fight as they did before, and we will run away from them. We will let them chase us until they have all left the city. For they will say, 'The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.' Then you will jump up from your ambush and take possession of the city, for the LORD your God will give it to you. Set the city on fire, as the LORD has commanded. You have your orders." So they left that night and lay in ambush between Bethel and the west side of Ai. But Joshua remained among the people in the camp that night. Early the next morning Joshua roused his men and started toward Ai, accompanied by the leaders of Israel. They camped on the north side of Ai, with a valley between them and the city. That night Joshua sent five thousand men to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city. So they stationed the main army north of the city and the ambush west of the city. Joshua himself spent that night in the valley. When the king of Ai saw the Israelites across the valley, he and all his army hurriedly went out early the next morning and attacked the Israelites at a place overlooking the Jordan Valley. But he didn't realize there was an ambush behind the city. Joshua and the Israelite army fled toward the wilderness as though they were badly beaten, and all the men in the city were called out to chase after them. In this way, they were lured away from the city. There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who did not chase after the Israelites, and the city was left wide open. Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Point your spear toward Ai, for I will give you the city." Joshua did as he was commanded. As soon as Joshua gave the signal, the men in ambush jumped up and poured into the city. They quickly captured it and set it on fire. When the men of Ai looked behind them, smoke from the city was filling the sky, and they had nowhere to go. For the Israelites who had fled in the direction of the wilderness now turned on their pursuers. When Joshua and the other Israelites saw that the ambush had succeeded and that smoke was rising from the city, they turned and attacked the men of Ai. Then the Israelites who were inside the city came out and started killing the enemy from the rear. So the men of Ai were caught in a trap, and all of them died. Not a single person survived or escaped. Only the king of Ai was taken alive and brought to Joshua. When the Israelite army finished killing all the men outside the city, they went back and finished off everyone inside. So the entire population of Ai was wiped out that day – twelve thousand in all. For Joshua kept holding out his spear until everyone who had lived in Ai was completely destroyed. Only the cattle and the treasures of the city were not destroyed, for the Israelites kept these for themselves, as the LORD had commanded Joshua. So Ai became a permanent mound of ruins, desolate to this very day. Joshua hung the king of Ai on a tree and left him there until evening. At sunset the Israelites took down the body and threw it in front of the city gate. They piled a great heap of stones over him that can still be seen today. (Joshua 8:1-29 NLT) Killing at Jericho When the people heard the sound of the horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the city from every side and captured it. They completely destroyed everything in it – men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, donkeys – everything. (Joshua 6:20-21 NLT) God Kills an Extended Family "You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made other gods and have made me furious with your gold calves. And since you have turned your back on me, I will bring disaster on your dynasty and kill all your sons, slave or free alike. I will burn up your royal dynasty as one burns up trash until it is all gone. I, the LORD, vow that the members of your family who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the field will be eaten by vultures.'" Then Ahijah said to Jeroboam's wife, "Go on home, and when you enter the city, the child will die. All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only member of your family who will have a proper burial, for this child is the only good thing that the LORD, the God of Israel, sees in the entire family of Jeroboam. And the LORD will raise up a king over Israel who will destroy the family of Jeroboam. This will happen today, even now! Then the LORD will shake Israel like a reed whipped about in a stream. He will uproot the people of Israel from this good land that he gave their ancestors and will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, for they have angered the LORD by worshiping Asherah poles. He will abandon Israel because Jeroboam sinned and made all of Israel sin along with him." (1 Kings 14:9-16 NLT) Mass Murder The men of Israel withdrew through the territory of the Benjaminites, putting to the sword the inhabitants of the city, the livestock, and all they chanced upon. Moreover they destroyed by fire all the cities they came upon. (Judges 20:48 NAB) The Angel of Death That night the angel of the Lord went forth and struck down one hundred and eighty five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. Early the next morning, there they were, all the corpuses of the dead. (2 Kings 19:35 NAB) Kill Your Neighbors (Moses) stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, "All of you who are on the LORD's side, come over here and join me." And all the Levites came. He told them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Strap on your swords! Go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other, killing even your brothers, friends, and neighbors." The Levites obeyed Moses, and about three thousand people died that day. Then Moses told the Levites, "Today you have been ordained for the service of the LORD, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and brothers. Because of this, he will now give you a great blessing." (Exodus 32:26-29 NLT) Kill the Family of Sinners And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what thou hast done, hide it not from me. And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done. When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them, and behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it." [Note that the sin is not looting, but failing to give the loot to the treasury of the Lord.] "So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them to the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger: wherefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day. (Joshua 7:19-26 Webster's Bible) Kill Followers of Other Religions While the Israelites were camped at Acacia, some of the men defiled themselves by sleeping with the local Moabite women. These women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, and soon the Israelites were feasting with them and worshiping the gods of Moab. Before long Israel was joining in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the LORD's anger to blaze against his people. The LORD issued the following command to Moses: "Seize all the ringleaders and execute them before the LORD in broad daylight, so his fierce anger will turn away from the people of Israel." So Moses ordered Israel's judges to execute everyone who had joined in worshiping Baal of Peor. Just then one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into the camp, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as they were weeping at the entrance of the Tabernacle. When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly. Then he took a spear and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach. So the plague against the Israelites was stopped, but not before 24,000 people had died. (Numbers 25:1-9 NLT) Murder At the customary time for offering the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant. Prove that I have done all this at your command. O LORD, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself." Immediately the fire of the LORD flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water in the ditch! And when the people saw it, they fell on their faces and cried out, "The LORD is God! The LORD is God!" Then Elijah commanded, "Seize all the prophets of Baal. Don't let a single one escape!" So the people seized them all, and Elijah took them down to the Kishon Valley and killed them there. (1 Kings 18:36-40 NLT) Kill All of Babylon "Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD. "Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction". (Jeremiah 50:21-22 NLT) Micah Kills a Whole Town Then, with Micah's idols and his priest, the men of Dan came to the town of Laish, whose people were peaceful and secure. They attacked and killed all the people and burned the town to the ground. There was no one to rescue the residents of the town, for they lived a great distance from Sidon and had no allies nearby. This happened in the valley near Beth-rehob.Then the people of the tribe of Dan rebuilt the town and lived there. They renamed the town Dan after their ancestor, Israel's son, but it had originally been called Laish. (Judges 18:27-29 NLT) (Note that God approves of this slaughter in verse 6.)

The Bible and Qouran was written at the time when knowledge and understanding of our human existence was very limited. The people who wrote the bible and qouran invented most of the story and created the rules and laws to themselves. 100% of people in those days are uneducated and naive.
The holy books are really a good source of literature and inspiration that should not be taken literally. NOTHING IS REAL UNLESS IT IS OBSERVED. The practice of islam and christianity should be progressively reformed if this two religion need to co exist.

Ikabod,
Ikaw na rin ang nagsabi na limited ang understanding ng mga tao sa sina unang panahon. What makes the writer of the bible or koran so special? Holy spirits? That is debatable! Any proof? There were some people who were just simply better in compare to the rest of the average people in the community, intellegentwise. But that does not mean, everything they wrote were correct and "Words" of higher being. Some text in the holy books might have been an influence on the writers personal emotion. Back in the days, people were dying of disceases they don't even know. They thought they were cursed. That was how stupid they were. And you guys beleive everything that they wrote??? If that it the case, you are no better than them. You are as dumb as they were.

Christians, specially Catholics, got this supertitions about figurative representations of Holyness. That is why they look up to objects that represents images of Holy personalities. No matter how you explain it, sinasamba nila ang rebulto. They kiss it, they rub it, they kneel at it, They pray at it!
Islam got the same vertions of such activities. That is the Black rock of mecca. They kiss it, they rub it, they bow down to it, they pray to it! So, di na kailangan pang mag kantyawan about sa mga practices na ganito. Christians and Islams are both Stupid! Believing to the powers of objects that can't really hear your prayers. Can't aprreciate you praises, kisses. caresses or any of such show of affections. Religion is a fraud...for man is fraud. Neighborhood and peace building can be achieved only in Ethnic and Religious cleansing. A powerful and dominant group should act swiftly and enforce their will.
In mindanao peace is not gonna happen as long as there are two opposing and incompatible faith. There is no common ground to achieve such idea of community building. Mindanao is a sacred ground for all Filipinos. Those who oppose, about 5% of the population should seek assylum to Middle East. Bakit kayo takot sa 5% na yon? Why not yung 95% ang mag migrate sa ibang bansa? Baka mas tatahimik ang Pinas...dahil yung majority yun ang mga gumagawa ng masasama eh! at pati yung mga dating tanga, mga corrupt na rin ngayon...hehehe! Ultimo mo nga pari eh!
Hindi naman takutan ang laban, puwede namang magtulungan, ang community nga ng Negus na Kristiyano ay tinulungan si Prophet Muhammad ng habulin sila ng mga tao sa Mecca. Puwed ring magtulungan kahit magkaiba ang paniwala. Marami pang bakanteng lupa sa Mindanao, kailangan lang alisin ang mga sakim, at sapat ang pagkain para sa lahat.
Exactly.. It's not on the religion but it's on the behavior of the people.
Once all the milf is annihilated from mindanao peace will not come, imagine mindanao without them, development and tourism will florished.
Islam is not a religion its a political movement motivated with total submission and fear, sadly muslims refuse to accept they are the ones worshiping the devil. If islam wants to be understood it has to be critised for what the koran teaches just like the bible and WITHOUT shedding blood and a call for jihad! Simple question: the world are helping haiti doing whatever it can, BUT muslims countries didnt even bother to offered their help or assistance. Sweet sound of silence as always No compassion for your fellow infidels? islam is a joke! Di tutulong ang mga yan.Buti pa kung may papatayin mga kauri nila,sama mga yan kaso madami ng patay duon sa Haiti kaya wala na silang tatrabahuin duon!
Tumulong?hahahaha.not in their nature.gusto ng mga yan uupo na lang sila at tulungan dahil kung hindi,kukuha ng baril at mamamaril.inuubos nyo na ang pasensya ng karamihan. Pagtulog ba ikamo...heto o paki basa po...yan tumutulong yan ha? Tumutulong kunin ang mga haitian child para pagkakuwartahan nila...hahaha yan pala ang pagtulong sa inyo...hihihi
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100131/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/cb_haiti_americans_detained Ang amerika nga tumulong sa haiti nung marami ng patay...just watch cnn every hour makikita mo kung may tumutulong bang totoo o nasan na yung pera....baka na corrupt na naman ng mga kristiyano...hehehe!
If islam wants to be understood it has to be critised for what the koran teaches just like the bible and WITHOUT shedding blood and a call for jihad!...nabasa mo na ba ang Bible...paki tingin nga yung sa itaaas...comment #6.1.1.1.1.1 sige nga without shedding blood ba ikamo? hehehe! Ang binabasa sa inyo ng tagaturo yung mga magaganda lang para mas malaki ang perang makuha sa inyo....hihihi...yung mga pangit tinatago at binibigyan ng ibang kahulugan para maging maganda...parang politika ng kristiyano...buking na pero di pa makulong bakit? kasi pilit babaguhin yung batas sa sariling kapakanan! walang di kaya ang mga pinoy and i'm proud of it
crap.. crap... crap...pinoy are bobo and losers and im proud of it.
Ang gawa ng isang daliri ay hindi nangangahulugan ito ay gawa ng buong kamay o ng buong katawan. Ang Islam po ay galing sa salitang "Salam" na kahulugan ay "kapayapaan" at yan po turo ng Islam. Ang Islam po kung iyong pag-aaralan ng maigi ay perfecto ngunit ikinalulungkot mang sabihin na may mga muslim na may mga maling gawa pero hindi ito ang Islam. "Ang panukat po ay iba sa sinusukatan". "Ang Islam po ay naiiba sa muslim". Salamat po...
Ganun ba? Ano ang masasabi mo sa comment(6.1.1.1.1)RavlaM? Islam ba kamo meaning peace? Seams to me, puro patayan ang laman ng Koran niyo!
Maybe, it's time to put another meaning ng Islam....a meaning that islam beleivers live up to and gained reputation with...Islam could be equated to TERRORIST IDEOLOGY! How's that for a change? Eh nakita o nabasa mo ba naman yung nasa comment sa itaas? comment 6.1.1.1.1.1? Galing din yan Biblia, hindi ba puro patayan din ang usapan diyan? One sided ka naman masyado pero kung babasahin mo ang mga comment mo sa itaas...kaliwa't kanan ka? Bading ka ba talagaaaaa? Nagtatanong lang po huwag pong magalit
I did read a comment from another Muslim idiot. Sinagot ko lang ang claim ng kamuslim nyo na Islam means kapayapaan.
We never claimed "Christians means peace". Just simply followers of Christ. May it be a good followers or not, it's not my concern, coz we are simply talking about word meaning here. Sa madaling salita, di kami nag mamalinis! Kayo, Sa pangalan pa lang, nag mamalinis na, puro naman kawalang hiyaan ang laman ng koran ninyo. Mula sa Child molester nyo na si mohammed, hanggang sa present day replika nyang si Benladin....Puro ka walang hiyaan. blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God..i love you ikabod. may you experience HIS peace!
glory be to the departed, israel lost the arc or is it, Ichabod was born inglorious. Book of Samuel.
co-existence lang sana ang hiling ko sa mga minamahal na mga muslim nakikiusap na magsamang tayong mapayapa kahit man ituring na impure or hinde sa iisang bansa
Ang tanging umuunlad lang sa Pilipinas ay ang sobrang DUNONG at DUHAPANG sa ordinaryong DUKHA para lamang kayong bolang pinag pasa-pasahan ng mga POLITIKO para sa kanilang kapakinabangan at yung mga buntot na TAO na ayaw dumanas ng KAHIRAPAN kaya kahit tumbong ng may datung kaya niyang HIMURIN basta h'wag lang siyang pag pawisan at dumanas ng mabigat na trabaho...
Ang MUSLIM at KRISTIANO malabo na mag-kaisa kung ang mga leader ng mga paniniwalang ito ay patuloy na ko-konsintihin ang mga engot nilang followers na gumawa ng gulo. Alam nyo mga IGAN kung ang pino problema ninyo ay ang kaligtasan ng kapwa ninyo particular sa Muslim eh wala na kayong paki sa Kristiano kung saan man mapunta ang kanilang kaluluwa at hindi ninyo obligasyon yon at konsyensya at gawin na lang ninyo tumahimik na lang kayo at mag dasal TAPOS ang usapan at wala ng lagim sa buong kapuluan. Ang Kristiano naman tigilan na ninyo ang mga Muslim at hindi nyo rin kasalanan kung mapunta siya sa impierno hindi nyo rin pananagutan iyon TAPOS..dumating kayo sa sapat ng edad na wala kayong ni konting katiting na talino simpleng logic di ninyo ma gets...Ang punto naman kasi sa Mindanao hindi tunggalian ng relihiyon ito ay maliwanag na suwapangan sa LUPA, pare-pareho kayong mga duhapang, at mga talamak na mayaman sa atin wala na yatang kabusugan mga mabilaukan sana kayong lahat na masisiba. Ang galing ha? Parang matalino ka ha? hehehe...simple logic ha? Ano ang karamihang namumuno sa Pinas at yung pinakamataas na namumuno? Kristiyanus diba? so yan ang simple logic...sila yung mga corrupt na ginagaya ng minority yung mga muslim na nawala sa aral ng Islam.
Palusot ka pa, SAAN GINAYA NI aMPATUAN ANG PAGIGING MARAHAS...HINDI SA KRISTYANO KUNDI SA Abu Sayyaf na kapareho din niyang muklo.....isa ka panh ungas.
bAsa ka ng diyaryo!!!! tignan mo kung sino ang mga masasama at mga corrupt! ikaw ang UNGAS!

Ikaw ang magbasa: Ungas basahin mo ang mga news galing mindanao......kanina lang ma inambush na mga sundalo.....
Galing talaga pumatay ang mga muslim proud pa at pinupuri pa si allah bago pumatay....... Medyo naguluhan ako, pinaguusapan ang kapayapaan sa mindanao napunta na sa religion ng islam at kristyano, cguro isa yan sa problema natin kaya dapat ayusin yan ng CBCP at NUCP na dapat magrespetuhan tayo sa religion. Ang problema talaga ng Mindanao ay hindi religion. Ang problema ay ang pamayani ng Gobyerno ng Pilipinas sa Mindanao. Dahil ang Mindanao ay hindi at kailan man naging parte ng Pilipinas. Mindanao is still illigally annexed to the Islas Filipinas. Ngayon yan ang resolbahin muna ng Gobyerno at ng mga Moro Leaders natin, sana magkasundo na sila sa Malaysia para matahimik na ang lahat, at mamuhay ng matiwasay ang bawat isa.
Magdasal tayo na sana magkaroon na ng tunay na agreement. God bless to us all. Datu Paduka Easier said than done. Peace is not gonna happen hanggat may religion. Hanggat may pride, hanggat may greed.
Man by nature posseses this characteristics. Rambo:"Peace is an accident. War in human is nature." I agree too. Peace is the best and the most efficient improver for development.
isang nasyon sa lahat ng etniko at relihiyon at walang ituturing na espesyal para solohen ang estado at pambansang yaman
Malayo pa talaga ang tatahakin ng bansang Pilipinas bago marating ang kapayapaan!! Photo finish na ntin ang Vietnam sa Development, Myanmar at Laos na lang ang nasa likod natin at saka East Timor..Hihintayin pa ba nating abutan tayo ng East Timor o ng BAngades kaya bago magkaroon ng katahimikan?
Gising mga Kabayan!! Kawawa naman ung mga kabataan at susunod na henerasyon kung hihintayin nating magbuwis muna ng maraming buhay dahil sa gutom o kaguluhan bago maatim ang kapayapaan!! peace on earth!
huag sana pupunta dito sa site si CEBUANIC_ peace building kc ang article
nakupo! raratratin kau nun...hehehe! Kahit anong effort ang gawin ng mga pilipino hanggat mayroong muslim dito palpak din.....
Magsabi kayo ng mga bansang may minority muslim....mga war freak talaga ang mga yan... hindi inoofferan ng peace talk ang mga yan...dapat yan patuloy na tugisin at ubusin....Yan din naman ang gusto nila bugawin at paalisin ang mga kristyano sa mindanao..kung di aalis kidnapin ka na lang at pugutan ng ulo. Do You Follow The Teaching of JESUS???
Do you follow both the Old and the New Testament? Matthew 5:17-19 "Do not think that I came to destroy the LAW of the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

Leviticus 25:36-37..."Take thous no usury of him, or increase; but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. Psalms 15:5..."He that putteth not out of his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved." Do you disapprove of homosexuality? Genesis 19:24-25...."Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground." Do you know that erecting a (Christmas) Tree is a pagan custom? Jeremiah 10:2-4..."Thus saith the LORD, learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heavenl for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Do you know male offsprings should be circumcised? Genesis 17:10-11....This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

John 14:28...”Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. Do you know Jesus never claimed divinity to God? “I do nothing of myself” (John 8:28) “My Father is greater than I” (John 14:28) “The Lord our GOD is one Lord” (Mark 12:29) and (John 10:29).... Do you know Jesus is not the son of God? Matthew 16:27-28....”For the son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.

Mark 11:25-26....”And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Luke 11”2-4...”And he said unto them, When ye prey, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.” Do you know you can not claim to be “Saved” by your works? Ephesians 2:8-9....”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is the Gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast. Do you know that Jesus message was not for all people? Matthew 15:24...”But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Do you know the Holy Spirit did not inspire the writer who wrote Luke? Luke 1:1-3....Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order most excellent Theophilus.

But if you want to enter into eternal life, keep the commandments.” Luke 10:25-28....”And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the Law? How readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right; do this, and thou shalt live. Do you know Jesus asked God to remove the cup (of death)? Luke 22:42....”Saying, Father if thou be willing to remove this cup (of death) from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.” Do you know no man (i.e. Jesus) can carry the burden (sin)of another? Deuteronomy 24:16....”The Father shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the father; every man shall be put to death for his own sins.” Do you know Jesus did nothing on his own accord?
