PHILIPPINES: Savage Muslims demand $2 million ransom for kidnapped Australian citizen Warren Rodwell

Warren Rodwell and wife Libby

Australia’s Gillard Government is refusing to pay the $2 million ransom for  Rodwell despite his harrowing video plea for help, below.

HERALD SUN  (H/T Aussie 106) Mr Rodwell is being held by blood-thirsty Muslim extremists in the Philippines with a history of beheading captives when their demands are not met. The Government and the Opposition are standing by the policy of refusing to pay ransom demands for fear it could encourage other terrorists.

Australian officials are instead assisting Filipino authorities as they try to trace the thugs who seized Mr Rodwell from his home last month. Looking haggard and distressed, the 53-year-old former soldier pleads for the Australian embassy to help him in a 108-second video sent to his Filipina wife and obtained by Fairfax Media.

Human Services Minister Brendan O’Connor said the Government would do everything it could to ensure Mr Rodwell’s safe return – but it would not pay a ransom.”There’s been a policy, a bi-partisan policy, on not paying ransoms, for many many years,” he said.READ MORE

    Oh my goodness, this is sad. I am soooo opposed to Islam.

    • Mohammed Nasr says:

      this is not islam … :( i am opposed to what they do .. but it is not religion which made them do that

      • ADHD says:

        Why should we believe a single word of what you write??

        We know your taqiyya and kitman. You think slitting a few throats and trumpeting your EVIL beliefs are victory?? Wait until every last Moslem man, woman and child has either cursed and renounced Islâm in public or has died!!!!!

    Muslims blow themselves up to kill others so IMO their lives are worth a dime a dozen.

    If I ever felt compelled to live around these species, I would have a tracking device implanted in my body in case they kidnapped me. Don’t rescue me. Just send a drone.

  4. WildChild says:

    Pray for Warran, pray that God intercedes for him.

  5. Susan K says:

    Sad. Very sad for this man that will probably find out soon what a beheading feels like.

    I’ve always wanted to visit the Philippines but I will not take the chance of going, being a white person.

    This is what happens when governments don’t take action when required. In this case, the Philiipino governement is to blame since it’s been caving in for quite a while to islamic demands out of fright.

    Also, they haven’t put much effort into eliminating the radical groups in the jungle.

    One day, soon, tourism will dry up in the Philippines. And thus, another country destroyed by islam.

  6. Roxanne says:

    I am not happy with Pres. Obama, but I would not accuse him of “Treason” for thinking of sharing missile defense secrets with a current ally of the United States, Russia. Russia used to be one of the U.S. biggest enemies, but no longer. No Treason involved helping an ally. The United States has accomplished befriending the worst of enemies of Russia, Germany, Japan, etc., through diplomatic relations over the years, so, let’s hope and pray that this is a continued “trend”. Happy New Year. Let’s hope to see a lot more countries helping each other out rather than warring in the coming years. Peace is the best path.

    • ROXANNE, my late grandmother, who survived the pogroms in Russia, always said, “Never trust the bear (Russia).” If you think Russia has stopped wanting to destroy America, you are very naive.

    so awful. Mulims are proving the true nature every day.

    • Mohammed Nasr says:

      really so what is our true nature ???? and what do u know about Islam other than the news ?? did u read the holy Quran so you know what are you talking about ?????????

      • ADHD says:

        YES!!!!

        Many of us have read the Qu’rân (as utterly SATANIC and UNHOLY a book as anything that could be conceivably imagined!!!!) and are always ready to check out its online versions – and the same applies to the Hadiths. We know them well and are always on guard against all the Moslem taqiyya and kitman that such DEVIL-MONSTERS as you, Mohammed Nasr, perpetually try to hurl into our faces like the acid with which your comrades in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Afghanistan ruin your women’s lives with!!!! Don’t think you accursed Moslems can turn the tables upon us.

        How do you hope to explain away this juicy bit of the Qu’rân (9:29): “Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection” [Shakir], eh??? Attacking people who merely differ with you on the matter of a different set of beliefs – and you’re commanded to attack and murder them until they either convert to your EVIL ideology or accept to be rendered impoverished by your accursed jizya into eventual total destitution so as to sell their children into slavery!!!

        We know what your sevenfold-accursed jihad really means: killing INNOCENT people and animals who’re merely infidels because of the saying of your pædophile, murdering, thieving, raping, lying and genocidal FALSE “prophet” Mohammed?!?? Truly, Mohammed is the messenger of SATAN HIMSELF!!!! You Moslem wretched good-for-nothings deserve infinitely worse that what you WANTONLY seek to inflict upon us PROUD INFIDELS and our beloved dogs and pigs!!!! Dogs are truly Man’s Best FRIEND, giving him such love that your hearts have never known and can never know until you PUBLICLY RENOUNCE AND CURSE ISLÂM, the #2 cult of Shaytan (if atheism be the number-1!!!) masquerading as your “Allah”!!!!!

        You Moslems are such monsters who deserve Almighty God Yahweh’s Holy ANNIHILATION infinitely many more times than what Sodom and Gomorrah ever got!!! You devils incarnate would get off extremely lightly were all your principal cities like Mecca, Medina, Baghdad, Karachi, Qom, Dhaka, Islamabad, Damascus and a whole lot more to be nuked off the face of the entire earth!!!

        Were it not for that millionfold-accursed OIL, you would nowadays be languishing in such poverty as would serve all of you amply right!!!!! You’re truly Satan’s beloved!!! Ah, even to think about you under-savages (let alone Untermenschen), lower than even the nastiest bacteria or virii, makes me to feel the worst possible DISGUST!!!!!

        Your total insistence that non-Muslims deserve always inferiority and to be treated like dirt, your hatred of music, art, science and even medicine, your wish to force everybody on this earth to die unless they embrace Islam – and even then, you’d be just as happy if all life ceases to exist – WHAT CAN BE MORE EVIL THAN ALL THAT????? NOTHING’S WORSE OR MORE SATANIC THAN ISLÂM, PERIOD!!!!!!

        • D S Dunlap says:

          Not only is the Qur’an the most vile and evil text ever conceived (more so, even, than Mein Kampf), but it is also the most INCOHERENT text ever conceived.

  8. Keith Mahone (aka Charles Martel) says:

    You can’t pay a ransom. That’s just a given. You can’t make it pay or you’ll be buying your own citizens back from these thugs forever.

    Here’s what Western governments should do instead: Grab any Saudi prince off the street (there are hundreds of them). Then tell the Saudi embassy that when the Islamic guerrillas safely return the hostages they are holding you will let the Wahabbi go. If the hostages are harmed or killed, the same fate awaits the Wabbahi.

    If this became public policy you would quickly see how involved the Saudis are with all this crap, either funding it and initiating it through “deniable” proxies or at least encouraging it and having the uncanny ability to force any Muslim terrorist group to roll over.

    The policy is simply this: It will not be safe for Saudi royals, their spawn or subjects to walk the streets of any nation until everyone else is safe from the predations of Islam.

    End of problem.

  9. Let the Muslims in Australia pay the ransom!

  10. Joe Penny says:

    I live in the area, The scum that do these things are nothing but pirates, kidnappers, and psychopaths doing what they and their ancestors have done for centuries. The fact that they are muslims is basically coincidental, but in their twisted, illiterate minds, it gives them an air of legitimacy.

  11. Saxon says:

    Joolia Goolia won’t pay a cent. What she probably will do is give Thailand millions of dollars for Islamic schools.

  12. florida sunshine says:

    why such a problem with them i never heard the word Muslim until nobama took office and now there in our back yard why nobama is giving them free passage in to our once great country
    and cutting our military is his plan for our take over
    and if a democrat reads this and does not change party your part of the problem
    and his and Clinton is to take away our weapons never give in
    any one remember Hitler
    i do and millions were killed and Russia has a million army so again more fuel on the fire
    get him out of office now later will be to late God bless America

  13. ADHD says:

    The Australian Government and the opposition are COMPLETELY CORRECT in NOT negotiating any ransom demands with those soul-murderers!!!! Likely they’ll kill him (unless God Intercedes – we must pray for this!), but only in this way can we convey the message that they can’t get their way with us – if we give in, they’ll kidnap and hold for ransom a whole lot more people!!!!

    Truly Islâm has got to be exterminated as an ideology!!!! It hates life and extols DEATH as well as HATE!!!! How people can accept to embrace those goals the way they do – and follow an EVIL man as their supreme IDOL is beyond all rational thinking!!!

    Presumably he was on the island of Mindanao or one of its associated smaller islets (e.g., Jolo). NO “INFIDEL” should risk travelling there – stick to Luzon or the other central/northern Philippines, and avoid any war-zones…

  14. Oooookay, just where the hell have all the REAL military leaders gone, the ones with the cojones like Gen. John J. “Black Jack” Pershing who would engineer an operation to rescue Mr. Rodwell AND kill all his captors, leaving not one enemy arselifters alive behind?!!!

  15. Steve says:

    As an Aussie, you cannot begin to appreciate the anger I am feeing over this and other atrocities committed by these criminals. Helpless is how I feel in the face of this. My hope is that the Philippine authorities can rescue this man pronto. (Let this also be a caution to all surfers who visit the reef breaks in Southern Philippines.)

  16. Jonathan Pomeroy says:

    I seriously hope he escapes. These situations don’t tend to end well unfortunately. Bloodthirsty muslims look for any excuse to murder. It is so sick. Is this the Moro Islamic Liberation Front that has him?

  17. fitzhugh fanny says:

    Every day, many times a day, in every wicked way, muslimes prove just how evil they really are.
    Sure wish there was a way to break into the muslime tv show on TLC and show this video.
    So sorry and I trust the Lord for a safe return to his loved ones.
    We will likely see the same thing in America even before that smear of maggot excrement in the W. H. is re-elected !!

  18. Betty says:

    this will be coming to the USA if we the people don’t wake up. we already have children missing and never heard from again. what is it going to take people? GOD that’s what.

  19. I know the Government policy is not to give a ransom – because these incidents are then inclined to keep happening. However – what is 2 million dollars – 4 overseas trips for Pollies and their families!!!!!!!! Therefore I suggest in the NAME OF HUMANITY – that they forego their trips and rescue this soldier and send him back to his family. If I were in Government I would not want this soldier’s death on my conscience – that is – if the Government has a conscience at all in this matter.
    Talk in cheap Mr.Brendan O’Connor – how would YOU feel if you were in Warren Rodwell’s place. MONEY CAN BE REPLACED – A LIFE, ONCE LOST, CANNOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Corrina says:

    I am praying for him, and I will keep his safety and well being in my heart and prayers, especially for those who know him and love him. I just have one question: Why are they not paying the ransom? Has something like this happened before, and they paid the ransom and the victim was still slaughtered or something? Just out of curiosity.

  21. JO says:

    Roxanne – you are a big fool to think that Russia is an ally of America. People such as yourself is the reason so many people have died over the years – sheer stupidity. Russia has threatened European nations if America takes on the missile program in Europe, so what does this say to you.

  22. JO says:

    Poor guy. I do not believe they should pay the ransom, because he will just be the first of a long list of non-muslims who will be taken hostage to fund the terrorists. I pray God will intervene, and send a plague on the buggers taken him hostage.

  23. Dawn says:

    My heart goes out to this man and his wife. I hope and pray that he will be returned safely. I like and agree with the answer Keith Mahone aka Charles Martel – let’s start giving the crap they (muslimes) give to us back to them.
    I also hope that Obama does not get re-elected.
    And as for CAIR – Kiss my white infidel a**

  24. Boundaries says:

    It’s only human to hope that you’ll get out of a situation such as Rodwell finds himself but I imagine he’s already resigned himself to his fate. I’d rather die at the hands of the military trying to kill the kidnappers than these savages having the pleasure of taking my life. God Bless this man because his fate rests with a higher being at this point.

  25. No more excuses, FIGHT TIME says:

    Help a digger out, he would of given his life for our country, fuck you gillard , you give millions a day to these boat fucks that never give anything back

  26. True Patriot says:

    7th century pure evil.

  27. valhalla says:

    Keith Mahone ,great idea,kidnap one of their Imams ,sheiks or Ayatollahs and when they return Warren Rodwell they get their man back,I am not a violent person but I sometimes think the only thing this ideology understands is violence ,they are incapable of any rationality ,they are so filled with hatred of the West which is constantly fuelled by their hysterical frothing at the mouth clerics in the mosques ,they are not allowed to question the Koran and they all live under that evil Law of Sharia,which they want to impose on us,they will never put me -in a black bag.

  28. lI pray this man is under the Grace of Christ.
    albert, PILMOC

  29. dajjal says:

    Russia is not reformed, the name changed, that’s all. The attitude, objectives & strategies remain unchanged. Obamination is a traitor, beyond any reasonable doubt. Giving away the keys to our security is worse that cretinous, it is treason.

    Ransom? Reciprocity: Declare the captive dead, hold a funeral, pay off his insurance and nuke wherever his captors are. Once is enough!!!

    You always get more of what your reward and less of what you punish.

  30. shagger says:

    This is a government that has blown billions of taxpayer’s money on dangerously & recklessly insulating tens of thousands of Australian houses; billions more on $900 “stimulus” cheques (spent largely on foreign-made plasma televisions & the like); billions more on massively rorted & over-priced school infrastructure and are currently spending something in the vicinity of $40 billion on a national broadband network (NBN) that will be out-dated by wireless technology before the thing is even half completed.

    2 million dollars? These dickheads waste that in the blink of an eye on shit that normal people couldn’t even dream up.

    Pay the money, get this poor bloke home & then send in the SAS to fuck these goat-rooters right up.

    But Gillard & her retards are way too busy saving the world from global warming by taxing the shit out of a few million Australians. And fucking up Australia’s live cattle export industry so that cows don’t suffer cruelty inflicted by Indonesian rag-heads. And destroying Australia’s border protection laws so that tens of thousands of foreign (religion of peace) invaders by-pass numerous Muslim countries to arrive by leaky boat every year… seeking “asylum” (without passports or any identification, with hundreds drowning due to said leaky boats). All in the name of humanity.

    So this fellow will pay with his life. I hate these arseholes.

  31. perceptor1 says:

    Mozzies everywhere use beheading because (they tell us) they MISUNDERSTAND Islam.

    They do not misunderstand Islam.

    Beheading is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

    Mohammed beheaded hundreds of unarmed people casually.

    Islam is beheading. Islam is mutilation.

  32. aussie106 says:

    Thank you Bonni for posting this, In Aus this is getting next to no air time.

    Mr Rodwell’s kidnapping has been linked to the al-Qaeda-linked militia group Abu Sayyaf

    shagger.. you’ve hit the nail on head.. great post mate.

  34. SweetOlBob says:

    Maybe cair(small letters intentional) will sue me or the weenies at WordPress will remove my comment but muslims in general and all of islam are a bunch of baby raping, farm animal molesting, dirty, lying, smelly fingered, rape victim stoning, marriage forcing, inbred, demanding, demonstrating, in-your-face, pedophile bastards.

    There ! I said it and I’m glad !

  35. John says:

    The Zamboanga Peninsula is not one of the safe areas of the Philippines. I would never consider living there. He knew there was some risk involved. Islamic thuggery is islamic thuggery regardless of where it happens, just that it isn’t much of a risk in most of the Philippines.

  36. Veronique says:

    Regardless of how long this is going on it is very much Islam. Islam condones, hostage taking, murder, lying, extortion, stealing, etc in the name of their false prophet and their moon God Allah. I hope Mr.Rodwells prayers are answered and someone comes up with the money. Then Spray the jungles where they hide with pigs blood from crop dusting planes. These mongrels have to be hunted and stopped. All the atrocities around the world are committed by muslims. Why should they be allowed into our countries. Isn’t it time the good muslims took the crazy ones over and stopped repeating their mistakes or bringing their baggage with them.
    Leeanne, that is a great idea, but unfortunately muslims are taker not givers, but I would love to see you put it to them.

  37. 7C Boots says:

    Yet they keep allowing these barbaric, savage ‘things’ into our wonderful civilized countries.
    I fear for my Aussie compatriots life, I pray for a miracle.
    The worst part is, is that these filth and their feet are soiling our land.
    Rape, segregation and fat bum, over paid, paralysis by analysis JuLIAR jihad Gillard has failed the Australian people, she is a monotone, characterless unknown nobody dictator who wastes our taxes and resourses.
    Islam is in her pocket. 80% of the illegal jihad arrivals to our shore go on welfare and are given houses, cigarettes, mobile phone and much more for free. They don’t appreciate it of course and then demand we eat unholy tortured halal meat and want to impose sharia law on hard working Australian people. We affluent because we are free to dream. Most of the illegals are men, they arrive with shaved faces to fool us, however they grow them back again at the first opportunity and then start with the this is my right crap, crap. They root like rabbits, and ogle decent, white women, calling us as ‘pieces of meat’ in our own domain.
    We are being carved up and served up on a silver platter to this vile militant, political cult.
    Our politicians are cowards.
    Bring our soldiers home from islamic third world countries and send the sexually perverted men home to protect their islamic women, ahahahahaha, what a joke. I’m laughing myself to death.
    I hope Rodwell makes it in one piece. I am sure there are plenty of people over there wbo knows where he is, the islamic ummah gang stick together though, I am very worried for him.

  38. RnBram says:

    I want to support the (BNI) view that the ransom should be paid, and then a military assault take out every Muslim structure with 100 miles of where the victim was sequestered, or if unknown, where the money was dropped off.

    In my opinion the life of any one citizen of a free country is not to be waffled over. When that life is severely threatened or taken, it is an act of war and should be responded to in that fashion. Who to target? Whatever *nation* harbors the terrorists or criminals, or is behind them… in this case it is the Philippines. The Philippines should pay the ransom, just to save their own nation’s a_s!

    Remember how wheelchair bound Klinghoffer was dumped off the Achille Lauro… Iranians were behind it and their administrative government buildings and military were left standing. They should have been razed.

  39. 7C Boots says:

    Please, if you know where is or if you are holding him, please, I beg of you, show goodwill and love, please let him return to us unharmed.
    I am sure it would help change my mind about islam to a more positive one.
    Please

  40. smokiesteele says:

    stop all aid to islamic shitholes right now let anarchy reign because without western money these countries will descend into total mayhem then see if the so called peaceful majority demand no more terror against the west and its people it them hard where it hurts most cut off ttheir free meal ticket so austrailia pay the bastards then tell your people no more ransoms paid from now on and no more aid to any country with islamic terrorists or islamic anything let allah provide

  41. Darkhorse says:

    Governments can’t afford to give in to criminal demands for payment. This fellow will probably get killed by the muslim assholes whether they are paid ransom or not. That’s what they like to do, kill, maim and create misery for people, even their own.

    I don’t know why the Phillipines Govt doesn’t get rid of the vermin in this region.

  42. Therese says:

    Its a wonder Julia Gillard does not pay them their 2 million dollar ransom, she pays them for everything else in this country. They are the biggest bludgers to ever land on our shores and she is never short of cash for their every need, leaving we, the taxpayers to cop it sweet.

  43. 7C Boots says:

    I wonder what lovely meal Juliar is enjoying today? Free to go where she pleases, whilst this poor fellow is probably being forced to eat God only knows what!

  44. aussie106 says:

    Update..
    Why is it that no Aussie media outlets are running any updates on this poor bastard?

    Police and military authorities have expanded Thursday their search for kidnapped Australian man Warren Rodwell in the Muslim provinces of Basilan and Sulu in the southern Philippines.

    Police said they received reports that Rodwell, 53, was taken back to Basilan province after failing to merge with another Abu Sayyaf faction under terrorist leader Radulan Sahiron in Sulu.

    Sahiron was reported to be ill and did not want to take Rodwell into his custody in the province where security forces are also battling the Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiya militants.
