A Canadian national has been beheaded in the Philippines by Islamist militant group Abu Sayyaf after a ransom payment deadline passed, the Philippines government confirmed Tuesday. Robert Hall was one of four people kidnapped by the group last September in the southern Philippines. His execution follows that of fellow Canadian hostage John Ridsdel on April 25 when the militants did not receive the requested ransom.

Good God... (expression). Who's next? When did Canada bomb the Middle East? And since when are the Philippines in the ME? Wake up people, this "religious" violence has nothing to do with US foreign policy.

To those Islamic terrorists, Canadians and Americans are both simply Westerners, which they consider the enemy.

There is a video online of the 1st Canadian being beheaded a month or two ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Sayyaf

"Abu Sayyaf is an Islamist militant group based in and around Jolo and Basilan islands in the southwestern part of the Philippines, where for more than four decades, Moro groups have been engaged in an insurgency for an independent province in the country. The group is considered very violent,[23] and was responsible for the Philippines' worst terrorist attack, the bombing of Superferry 14 in 2004, which killed 116 people.[24] The name of the group is derived from the Arabic ابو, abu ("father of") and sayyaf ("swordsmith").[25] As of 2012, the group was estimated to have between 200 and 400 members,[26] down from 1,250 in 2000.[27] They use mostly improvised explosive devices, mortars, and automatic rifles.

Since its inception in 1991, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, and extortion[28] in what they describe as their fight for an independent Islamic province in the Philippines.[29]

No mention of nationality or religion in the thread title... but somehow we all know what group is responsible.

If you guys know anyone who is Pilipino, ask them about Muslim over there. They have an Island entire to themselves, and basically declared independence. I don't know if this is the same group, but my point is don't forget Muslims are attacking in South-East Asia, Americas, Europe, Russia, China, and of course the Middle East, oh yeah and East and West Africa. It is really a violent culture. Yeah yeah, so you have that friend who is a Muslim and is peaceful. Even if just 1% of them are radical, and lets be honest that is a way conservative number, we are still talking about thousands of people ready for jihad.
