Indonesia: Muslims imprisoned for 14-19 years for beheading Christian schoolgirls; Muslims angered by severity of penalty

After all, it wasn't as if the victims were Muslims. 14-19 years in prison for murdering Christians? It's an outrage!

"...[I]f a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash....Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim…then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain...Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them." — Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1970.

"Muslims given prison for beheading schoolgirls," from WorldNetDaily.com (thanks to all who sent this in):

Three Muslim extremists have been sentenced to prison for their roles in the ambush of four Indonesian schoolgirls, three of whom were decapitated – with their heads wrapped in plastic and delivered to nearby villages.

While the sentences of 14-19 years may seem light considering the horrific crime, the minister at large for Open Doors USA, a Christian ministry that has worked in the area of Indonesia where the attack happened, said it not only is a relatively severe penalty, it also is raising fears of violence as the Christmas season approaches.

The report of the sentences comes from Compass Direct News, which confirmed Rahman Kalahe was given 19 years, Agus Nur Huhammad was given 14 years and Yudi Heryanto 10 years after being found guilty of beheading Theresia Morangke and Yarni Samubue, 15, and Alfita Poliwo, 17, in an Oct. 29, 2005, attack.

A fourth girl attacked, Noviana Malewa, then 15, was seriously hurt but survived the machete attack.

As WND reported earlier, three militant Islamists earlier were given prison sentences of 14 and 20 years for their part in the girls' deaths.

Islamist Hasanuddin, the son-in-law of Islamist militant leader Adnan Arsal, reportedly has trained in the Philippines with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. He said the attack on the schoolgirls was in revenge for Christians killing Muslims during the early stages of the sectarian conflict in Central Sulawesi.

Hasanuddin was given 20 years in prison for masterminding the attack and Lilik Purnomo and Irwanto Irano each got 14 years as accomplices.

Paul Estabrooks, of Open Doors USA told WND the sentences may appear light from a Western perspective. But he said in a culture dominated by Islam, it is a serious statement, and also will bring "some closure" for Christians in the region.

"The interesting thing is the timing," he said. "The last few Christmases have been pretty violent (in the region). … There is some concern this would inflame the sectarian violence of the area again."

" And he noted that the girl who survived the attack that killed her three friends already has made public statements of her forgiveness for her attackers"


....hmmm I do see a difference between Christians and Muslims......Muslims kill, Christians forgive......This Christian Girls love for life and peace is lost in the minds of the mindless murderous Islamic thugs.....

...Islam is a disease and a ban on Muslim Immigration must begin....

This is Neolithic-Naziism, straight from the camel's gob:

''Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim…then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain...''Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them." — Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1970.

Fair enough pal ... we 'infidels' shall reciprocate the sentiment. If I may be allowed to retort....

Since you obviously feel so 'superior' to the 'infidels' because of your stone-age religious values and whilst so many of you choose to come and settle amongst said 'infidels' (Hitler termed those he deemed inferior as 'Untermensch', I think he was somewhat more honest than you lot), you are perfectly at liberty (should you hold similar POV's to Sultanhussein Tabandeh) to fuck off back to any Sharia shithole of choice or origin, where you can feel even more smug and superior. Our 'exit' door is always open, feel free to use it, there's no charge and we won't delay you. The 'entry door' is just starting to creak towards 'closed'

They'll be out in no time.

How many times have we seen even the worst islamothugs freed to commemorate some moslem holiday? Usually after serving maybe 2-3 years of a 20+ year sentence?

It is really getting hard to read these true stories.
I have been to Indonesia quite a few times. Even the savages in Irian Jaya and Sumatra and Celewese have progressed much further than the Muslims.

Greetings in the name of the Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

The horrific nature of the crime, unbelievably, is surpassed by the horrific nature of Islam's opinion of fellow human beings who do not believe.

Absolutely appalling.

Something ugly inside of me makes me think that if one of those girls had been my daughter that the men should have asked for longer sentences and should be avoiding any parole.

If I were a member of one of the girls' families, I would get even, but then that is how war begins.
Some things are worth a war.

I think Pakistan applied the same Islamic sentencing guidelines in dealing with Daniel Pearl's murderers after the reporter was beheaded. Because he was an infidel, the murderers were not eligible for the death penalty. In fact, the murderers taped Pearl saying that he was a Jew and had always been a Jew just before killing him. The beheading tape supported the defense at the sentencing phase. It proved that the person they beheaded was only an infidel Jew, therefore his Muslim executioners could not be put to death for the crime.

Meanwhile, there was someone in Pakistan who opined that Muhammed probably did not shave his pubes. He was sentenced to death for blasphemy.

This is the type of legal system our children and grandchildren can look forward to living under if we continue to remain blind to the threat of imposition of Sharia law following Islamic demographic expansionism and conquest.

I have to agree with exsgtbrown regarding the immigration policy we need to adopt as one step in countering that threat.

Such brave warriors, these jihadists. It must take a great deal of honor and courage to murder schoolgirls, especially if they are christians. How noble!

Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim…then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain...Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.

Once again, the (il)logic of multiculturalism can come to our rescue. The non-Muslim west could decide to turn the statement above upside down and no one could complain. Should killing innocent Muslims be considered murder?

God forbid when a muslim is executed in this country. So let's beat the Christmas rush and pardon all muslim criminals, err misunderstood youts, since we have now seen the light that is islam. The blinding light preventing the world from seeing the truth and taking action.

"God forbid when a muslim is executed in this country"


...it is going to happen.....believe it...

Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.


Hey, I wasn't thinking lordship; but a simple, brutal, absolute dictatorship with arbitrary laws of my own choosing would be nice.... you know, kinda like a western Mohamodd. Oh, we have sooo much to learn from Islamic "culture".

Multiculturalism.... embrace it... or else.

Are my slave girls and tribute ready?

The images of the corpses of those three teenage girls is permanently embedded in my mind. They still had their school bags by their sides. The beasts that killed them should of been beheaded in the same fashion and their corpses laid to sour in the Indonesian sun. That would be justice. But the Islamic justice amounts to a pat on the had and in my view sympathy for the sickness of the criminals.

the heck with this slap on the wrist hang them with a rope made from pigskin

Next time a tsunami hits that cesspool I'll keep this story in mind when the media tries to make me feel bad for the plight of these "poor people".
This time, I won't fall for it.

Islam is akin to the KKK. They use beheading like lynching. Their courts are like the white racist courts in the Southern USA. If a black kills a white, he's a dead man. If a white kills a black, he might not even get charged, and if he does, he will not be executed.

When will people realize that much of Islam in theology and practice is a supremacist group worse than the KKK.

Consider the Britain story of the Imam's daughter who converts to Christianity. The family wants her killed. This is like a white girl marrying a black boy in the pre-civil rights Souther USA. She would be killed too.

I wish people realized that among many Muslim immigrants anywhere from 10% to 30% (see the pro-jihadist polls) are rabid Muslim supremacists akin to the KKK. Until we can sort out which ones are not, we must stop most Muslim immigration.

yeah, I'm sure in a year or two, prolly during Ramadan, they will free those mindless butchers so they can perpetrate more atrocities. That doesn't anger Allah. But name a teddy bear Muhammed, and the same bunch of medieval savages demand death by beheading.

They'll be pardoned by next Eid.

Since they didn't kill anyone "innocent".

Just infidels.

Islam: the deathcult of peace.


Animalistic, these people.

I receive a couple of regular updates on the persecuted Church: "Barnabas Fund" and "Voice of the Martyrs." The recent VoM notes that some indigenous Indonesian Christian leaders just received 5 year sentences for praying for Muslims to become Christians.

Apparently a video of the prayer meeting was leaked to Muslim Organizations.

As the Worldnet article stated, 3 Roman Catholics where sentenced to a firing-squad on extremely dubious evidence of instigating riots earlier in the year.

Without doubt there are two standards at play in the Muslim world... and "the Muslim world" is moving into our neighbourhood now.
