-RetweetReligion of Beheading

Fri, Mar 9, 2007 at 8:52:49 am PST

To protest against a Christian preacher who suggested that Muslims might have violent tendencies, Muslims in the Philippines called for him to be beheaded.

Filipino Muslims display a banner, which reads ‘Behead Those Who Insult Islam,’ and t-shirts with a wanted sign during a rally Wednesday March 7, 2007, at a downtown Manila square, to protest recent televised preaching by a Christian sect leader Eli Soriano, who alleges that Muslims are killers. More than 1,000 Muslims took part in the rally and demanded Soriano, who is currently in hiding, be extradited back to the Philippines so he can face charges being brought against him.

With strategic cropping by the Associated Press.

UPDATE at 3/9/07 10:17:51 am:

They didn’t just crop the photo to conceal the full message; the AP’s first caption also mysteriously forgot to include the complete text of the banner. (Hat tip: Sugiero.)
