Jolo: fear of attacks, masses cancelled for the All Saints and All Souls

Violence works.  Muslims continue to use violence to intimidate non-Muslims into doing what the Muslim street want them to.  In Jolo, Philippines, the local Bishop has curtailed masses due to attacks with hand grenades in previous weeks, even thought there were no injuries. 

Appeasement and cowardice in the face of Islamic threats only gets more violence.  Islam must never be accommodated in any way by the West.  To do so is to cede our freedom to the abomination of Islam.
This latest and greatest Islamic Jihad must be defeated and the Muslim world beaten back to it's 7th century origins.

Angelito Lampon confirms the cancellation of the mass originally planned at the cemetery; instead he will lead brief moments of prayer for the dead and bless the graves.
