Filipinos Caving into Jihadis Demands for Muslim Homeland...
2007-08-15
Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Tuesday hinted her administration might grant the demand of Muslim rebels Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) for the return of their claimed "ancestral domain" when peace negotiations between the government and the rebel group resumes.

Arroyo made the announcement during the 16th anniversary of the Federation of Philippine Industries where she downplayed public fears of returning ancestral domain to the MILF in southern Philippines. She said, "We have declared many ancestral domain regimes among indigenous peoples, I really don't see why anybody should be scared if an ancestral domain is declared for the Muslim people."
After all, it's the 17,498th most holy site in all Islam.

#7  Give them their islands and then blockade them to make sure they never leave. Make sure they have no contaminating Western cultural items such as electricity, antibiotics, vaccines, gasoline, fuel oil, etc.

#5  Won't work, Gloria. Appeasement never works. You give an inch and they'll want a mile. The Indians gave the muslims Pakistan. You might have thought they would be satisfied but, no. Now they want Kashmir. And if they ever get Kashmir they'll want something else. The only way to stop the terrorism is to kill the terrorists.
