Really, what can you say?
Nearly a thousand Muslims gathered in Manila today to demand the beheading of a preacher… who claimed that Muslims were 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.

Eliseo Soriano is known for criticizing various denominations through his program “Ang Dating Daan” for their doctrines, practices and what he says are false teachings including the Catholic Church, Pentecostal Demoninations, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventist Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Iglesia ni Cristo, another Philippine-based religion which he calls Iglesia ni Manalo (Church of Manalo).
But, the other churches did not hold protests for his beheading.
