Christian Pastor Executed in Indonesia
Rev. Irianto Kongkoli was shot twice in the back of the head while he was shopping in Palu, the capital of Central Sulawesi province of Indonesia.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.
It was part of a wave of religious violence between 1999 and 2001 that left more than 1,000 people dead.
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.
Rev. Kongkoli had been outspoken against the executions of three Christians last September. Indonesia is home of the largest number of muslims. There has been violence between Christians and Muslims there since 1998.The reports of the violence in Indonesia refer to 'religious violence' and to fighting being Christian and muslim mobs or gangs. But with a couple of exceptions, the horrors that are reported are muslim against Christian. The incidents in which the violence was initiated by Christian groups, it was in retaliation for horrors like the beheading of young Christian girls walking to school.
Remember, about 19 million muslims in Indonesia support violent jihad against the West and Western interests.
Odd, the United States isn't in Indonesia but they are still having violent acts perpetrated by muslims. Since 1998. I don't think this is the fault of the United States.
This is more evidence that the jihad against the West is not just about us finding bin Laden. Doing away with bin Laden won't take care of this problem. This is why we are in Iraq, it is why it's a much bigger problem than one person or one terrorist cell.
This is why it's called the Global War on Terror.
