Christian priest killed in Indonesia

More detail on the case recently cited by blogger Rusty in calling for a boycott of Indonesia. "Sulawesi Christian priest killed," from the BBC:

A Christian priest has been shot dead on Indonesia's Sulawesi island, where religious tensions are high after the execution of three Catholic militants. The Rev Irianto Kongkoli was shot in the head while shopping in Palu, the capital of Central Sulawesi province.
[...]
The Rev Kongkoli was buying construction materials at a shop when he was targeted, a spokesman for the provincial government's information bureau said.
"He had finished bargaining for some tiles when someone called him back into the store. When he entered, two shots were fired at the back of his head," Jethan Towakit told Reuters news agency.
Central Sulawesi governor Bandjela Paliudju told reporters he believed the killing may have been linked to last month's executions.
"He was an outspoken priest who many times led Christian protests against the executions," Mr Paliudju said.
A police investigation is underway. "We need to make sure such killings do not happen again," national police chief Gen Sutanto said.

Yes, you do. But will you?

Ever notice how these murders take place from behind? These pigs always have to skulk from behind like the cowards they really are. As if a priest would be able to defend himself with an Uzi or something. Shameful and damn those who do such things to hell.

Of course the killings haven't really stopped.

The problem General Sutanto generously offers to solve will be solved, as always in Dar al-Islam, when a)all the Christians have converted, or b)all the Christians are dead.

Thanks, by the way, for running the website; a friend put me on to it only recently.

I will not submit.

Here is a great example why we will never find any middle ground in this battle. In our culture the backstabbing bushwhacker is considered the lowest of the low. In their culture it is a badge of honor. I don’t think I need to say anything else that says it all.
BTW. I have caught Robert on the Radio several times lately and it certainly has changed the way these hosts are viewing our enemy. Two thumbs up for you Mr. Spencer.

Gee, if muslims keep doing this kind of stuff, I will suspect that they dont like Christians...

Gotta kill that uppity n-......I mean, that person who just happens to be Christian who is causing trouble to our peaceful, tolerant and moderate Islamic society was foully murdered by a tiny minority of our people and they will be punished severely.

Like the Bali bombers....

everyday 3000 christians are martryed.

this occurance should not shock us, what does Jesus say?

(Luke 6:22-23) Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

(Matthew 5:43-44) Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

(Matthew 10:16-24) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.


(John 15:17-24) These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

God bless u all!

Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
