The story of American missionaries in the Philippines, Martin and Gracia Burnham. Taken hostage on their 18th wedding anniversary by the Abu Sayyaf and held for over a year. Martin was killed in the rescue attempt. Gracia survived and wrote about their time in captivity in the book, In The Presence Of My Enemies. This scene was not in the UK edit.
@DollyRae999 for the record, I live in the Philippines, and some of my team mates on my hockey team (Yes, we have ice hockey in the Philippines) ARE MUSLIMS.
Let me tell you, they are not all 'backwards', 'evil', or even 'jealous of America' as you demonize them to be. As a Christian, a TRUE CHRISTIAN, I can tell you that my muslim teammates share the same values, love, kindness, hopes, and dreams as anyone else. I AM ASHAMED every time Christians portray this hate, We should KNOW BETTER.

@mikey2yoface You should be proud to be a Filipino. I have been there many times, and your nation's hospitality is quite likely #1 in the world. I learn a lot from Filipinos and when I see how your families stick together, how you support one another, and your values, truthfully, I feel ashamed. Because we are spoiled in the U.S. We have so much, and we're not content. Filipinos have so little compared to Americans, and you are so HAPPY. -I Love the Philippines, be proud.

I had the pleasure of seeing Gracia speak at a church this past Sunday. I also bought her first book and I'm almost finished with it. These Muslims are so backwards that it's nit funny, it's scary. They base their whole lives on a book that they dint even understand. They claim to be "good" but do evil things. Why are they so jealous of America? You can just see the jealousy pouring out of them. They are sick people!
