Scary stuff. Such radicialism is rare but not unheard of in the Philippines. They are very violent in the South but I don't recall reading about many ISIS-style beheading videos from there. It would be more surprising if the video is out of Indonesia and totally shocking if it had anything to do with Cambodia or even the south of Thailand or Malaysia.

News about this anywhere? Maybe it's old.

Fairly common in Southern Philippines, the Muslim militants do it to captured soldiers in Jolo every few years or so.

The French were still beheading people in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam in the fifties. Often forgotten an all the hoo ha over radical Moslems. Most victims would have been political prisoners, the bastards wanted their countries back.

They were doing it in France until 1972...

That was the Foreign Legion. They had ze German accents. We refused to support them - no air cover - because they were Nazis. Whilst we ran the Japanese army, the best soldiers in the world. They did exactly what you told them to do.

No, that was the justice system at the time. the museums in Vietnam still have the guillotine.
