Three girls have been beheaded and another badly injured as they walked to a Christian school in Indonesia.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4387604.stm

They were walking through a cocoa plantation near the city of Poso in central Sulawesi province when they were attacked.

This is an area that has a long history of religious violence between Muslims and Christians.

A government-brokered truce has only partially succeeded in reducing the number of incidents in recent years.

Police say the heads were found some distance from the bodies.

It is unclear what was behind the attack, but the girls attended a private Christian school and one of the heads was left outside a church leading to speculation that it might have had a religious motive.

Islamic state

Central Sulawesi and Poso in particular was the scene of bitter fighting between Muslims and Christians in 2001 and 2002.

More than 1,000 people were killed before a government-brokered truce.

Although the violence has been subdued, it has never gone away completely.

A bomb in May in the nearby town of Tentena, which is predominantly Christian, killed 22 people and injured over 30.

The fighting four years ago drew Islamic militants from all over Indonesia and many have never gone home.

Analysts say the militants have targeted central Sulawesi and believe that it could be turned into the foundation stone of an Islamic state.

The analysts have warned that the violence could resurface at any time.

Yea, I read that. Its really sick. I can get very angry about that so I'll just send another $50 off to the BNP.

Again, TY for the post. Rememeber Abu Graib? I thought Abu Graib was BS. This is bad. We all read it but I bet many here tried to hide or not share it. I saw that but didn't post it due problems with confronations here. I also didn't want to seem fixated on one issue. Do you think the Muslims raped these girls first? Do you think the Muslims had mercy? Were they quick? How did they pick out which head to throw in front of the school? where are the human rights activists. Any human shields for these girls or just for Saddam Hussain?

There was a programme on TV today about the history of Islam in Britain, in which muslims were once again whining about discrimination and 'Islamophobia'. As this incident demonstrates, infidelphobia has far more serious consequences.

But these are not isolated incidents, but the latest acts of brutality in a litany of offences committed against religious minorities in muslim states.

Verne, how did you come to despise Liberals? I started to question them during the Vietnam War. The protesters had an easy job. They stay pretty much in The USA where they are protected and shout things to USA authority figures who are at home watching TV. Then they all go to a bar and talk about what a great day they had. To be honest, I think protesting is fun.

Then there's the real hard part. I really don't believe the USA is evil. In fact, I think its just the opposite. The hard part is those other bad guys Idi Amin, Mugabe, countless Iranian mullahs, Saddam Hussein. These are bad people with like dungeons and torture crews.

There is no way any liberals could protest them because of the visciousness of the regime. Instead of meeting the challenge or admiting there are things that really frighten them, they turn against the West like spoiled children where they can have a safe protest and victory donut.

They simply don't have the integrity, strength or intelligence to take on really bad people. They are disturbingly effete.

Actually there have been christian attrocities against muslims as well as vice-versa in the Poso region.

yeah thanks dulouz- this report just struck me as particularly grievous. The killing of 3 innocent and defenceless schoolgirls.

As tyou say it is part of the bigger picture of non-islamic communities, usually christian, being isolated and gradually targetted.

I'm sure the Christian communities in Indonesia have tried to defend themselves..but essentially christianity is a far more tolerant culture- muslims live in peace in christian countries where they are the minority. Christianity is largely a matter of choice. Islam isn't.

where's bucheon bum to defend this atrocity?

Horrible. Just as horrible as the white supremacist "christians" who blew up the daycare in Oklahoma.
