The God's Army or Ilagas have never targeted civilians (unlike their Muslim counterparts) so I'd be shocked if the Moro's are telling the truth......they're pissed because Christians have finally started fighting back......
MAGUINDANAO, Philippines Nov. 2, 2008– Suspected Christian vigilantes ambushed a group of Muslim picnickers on Sunday killing five of them, including children, in the southern Philippines, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front said.
Mohagher Iqbal, a senior MILF leader, said the attack occurred at around 5 p.m. in the coastal town of Linamon in Lanao del Norte province. He said the victims came from a picnic at a beach in Linamon and were heading home to Magsaysay town gunmen attacked them.
“The victims were their home onboard a vehicle when they were ambushed,” he told the Mindanao Examiner, quoting unnamed sources. “Five were killed, including children. The perpetrators are Ilagas.”
Iqbal did not say how many children were killed, but he claimed the MILF, the country’s largest Muslim rebel group, is investigating the attack. “We are still getting more details of the ambush,” he said while condemning the attack on innocent Muslims.
There was no immediate statement either from the police or the military about the ambush. The vigilantes gained notoriety in the 1970s at the height of the Muslim secessionist war in the southern Philippines where they chopped off body parts of captured rebels.
But second-generation Ilaga, mostly sons and relatives of the original members, have surfaced in August and vowed to exact revenge after rebels launched deadly attacks on civilian targets after the failed signing of the Muslim homeland deal between Manila and the MILF.

pulsar,
When is it time for Republicans to stop running? The once great Republican Party has turned into the corrupt Weenie Party. No talk. No do. No nothin'.

Muslims are like school bullies - all big and tough until someone fights back, and then they cry. Go Christians!

It is about time. I hope we all take a page from their playbook. We need to see this as a Holy war. Whether you are Christian, atheist, Hindu, Zen, or an adherent of stoicism, islam is really out to crush you. Maybe it should be called a reverse holy war, or the defense from an offensive holy war. They go on these war crawls every few hundred years, when they have far too many un-marriageable males. Because of their 4(+) wives deal, if you aren't in (by family or religious ties) or rich, you are single. So, they send these frenzied males out, like army ants, to loot, kill, rape, and find wives (or boys, goats, vacuums, whatever).
Hey, I am just the messenger so don't shoot. Urhm, that and I would shoot back.

The terrorists would be unable to act and make so many attacks without the tacit or active assistance of a considerable number of muzzlimms known as “peaceful" or "moderate". They belong all to the same ideology of Mafia call isslam.
