Didn’t know; don’t need to know. Christians have a concept of martyrdom too (one that doesn’t involve other people getting killed first). There are lots of worse ways to die.
When I hear about these stories, I wish I had the faith in God that if I was in this situation, I could tell the heathens that Jesus Christ was my lord and savior and they were the sad servants of satan who was disguised as a false god called allah. I don’t know if I have that kind of faith and strength, though.
The victims of this evil attack are truly martyrs.
