Beheaded (3 Christian) girls 'Ramadan trophies', court hears (wanted 100 more)

THREE Christian high school girls were beheaded as a Ramadan "trophy" by Indonesian militants who conceived the idea after a visit to Philippines jihadists, a court heard yesterday.

The girls' severed heads were dumped in plastic bags in their village in Indonesia's strife-torn Central Sulawesi province, along with a handwritten note threatening more such attacks. The note read: "Wanted: 100 more Christian heads, teenaged or adult, male or female; blood shall be answered with blood, soul with soul, head with head."

Javanese trader Hasanuddin appeared in Jakarta Central Court yesterday charged with planning and directing the murders in October last year. He faces a death sentence if found guilty under anti-terrorism legislation. Hasanuddin allegedly returned from a visit to members of Philippines Islamist group the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with tales of how that organisation regularly staged bombings to coincide with Lebaran, the festival that ends the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He later spoke with a preacher in Poso, Central Sulawesi, about whether such a plan could work in Indonesia, but expressed doubt about whether it was appropriate. However, after further discussion with friends, he decided that beheading Christians could qualify as an act of Muslim charity.

Conscripting several accomplices at a local pesantren, or Islamic school, he directed one of them, Lilik Purnomo, to seek out "the head of a Christian", prosecutors alleged. "It would be a great Lebaran trophy if we got a Christian. Go search for the best place for us to find one," Hasanuddin allegedly ordered his companion. Lilik returned to say he had found an "excellent" target - a group of schoolgirls who travelled to and from class by foot in the Central Sulawesi village of Gebong Rejo.

The attackers cleanly beheaded three of the students but a fourth, Noviana Malewa, escaped after a struggle and ran away screaming. Her attackers gave chase but were unable to catch her.

The true face of Islam... Murder of children!

What a cult of death this one is!

[Little Ray]

Ya know, more and more I don't see any reason to be selective about which muslims we kill. Its sorta like Nazis and Commies in WWII - dead Nazi, dead Commie, win-win situation.

[NewCenturions]

Kind of puts The Crusades into perspective. You read so much about the violence of those times...not much has changed with the muslims.

This kind of activity was the cause of the crusades.

[Nathan Zachary]

Oh, but lets send billions of dolars in aid for these poor Muslim "victims" of the Tsunami so they can buy new swords, cars, and motorcycles so they can continue on their crusades against infidels.

God needs to wash more of them off those Islands.

says it all...

[HEY4QDEMS]

To bad a large number of Christians throughout the world are so willing to ignore the evil that is Islam. Either that or they are a bunch of cowards.

We allow them over here at our peril.

[Psalm 73]

The more Christians are persecuted and killed, the stronger and more numerous they (we) get.
It has always been thus - to give our life to our King, the creator of the universe, who gave His first for us.

[Psalm 73]

"....Muslim "victims" of the Tsunami...."

Bande Ache was once known as a graveyard for missionaries, even local Indonesian ones - but since the tsunami and a huge influx of Christian relief workers, it is now a hot-bed of Christian conversions - go figure.

[unixfox]

This will all end when we pull out of Iraq. I'm sure of it.

/sarcasm

[TeleStraightShooter]

I don't understand why you feel that way since most muslims do not share these murderers opinion of Christians which mirrors your opinion of muslims.

[Muzzle_em]

WHY do we NEVER see this crap in the news in THIS country?!!!!

Thank GOD for the internet!
