Three Christian girls have been beheaded and another badly injured as they walked to a Christian school in Indonesia
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.
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.

We keep on hearing about "the religion of peace" while the followers of that evil, satanic cult continue to defile this world by their inhuman, despicable deeds. Let no one doubt there will be a universal backlash against islam and muslims per se. Retribution is Coming soon to a mosque near you.

Nothing is quite as evil and wicked as this false religion, that does all its works under the false lie that they are doing it for God. But the Word of God stands forever true and strong,
God is not mocked, whatsoever you sow that will you reap.
I agree with fatwaman God will judge this false religion and all who are a part. God have mercy on their souls and save those that should be saved. In Jesus's Name I pray,

what has happened in poso indonesia is not yet clear. to hastily say that the perpetrators are moslim is not appropriate. that is prejudice. the conflict there has been going on for the last few years. it is still volatile area. althoughh recently the order has been restored there re some elements whoever they are not pleased with the peace achieved there. some might speculate that military and police may have played role in it to draw more attention and funds from foreign countries. so do not show any bigotry here.

Jesus did not tell us to hate our enemies, but to love them. We should not hate the muslims, or any others who persecute true believers in Jesus, but pray for their salvation. As far as who "should" be saved, that is not our decision to make. We are not gods! The Bible tells us that He is willing that NONE should perish. Let's pray for ALL to see the glory of God and fall down on their knees in confession and adoration! Then we will see freedom come to the persecuters as well as the persecuted.

It must be very sad to be Muslim. It took too much hate to kill these wonderful girl. One day we all will stand against the judgement seat of Christ; ALL.
May Christ give peace to these families. If you are in Christ, you are an enemy of this world.
Lord have mercy of the Muslims and Christians.

Chritians must stand united. Just turning the other cheek will not solve problems. Even Lord Jesus took a whip to chase away the money lenders and others,who were desecrating the temple of God .Critians of the west never care about the suffering christians of the east- in Egypet,where the gopts are totured and killed just because they are chritians. In Pakistan,the christians are chased out of their hoses,their daughters kidnapped for islam. In Indonesia,Malaysia,Arab countries,chritians are persecuted. Even in India ,the hindu brahmins mistreat them. Please go to the web site: jihadwatch.org , dhimmiwatch.org , and faithfreedom.org.
