The Religion of PEACE?
3 Christian School Girls BEHEADED
Three high school girls were ambushed on their way to class and beheaded and another was seriously wounded by unidentified assailants, police said. The heads were found several miles from their bodies.
The girls attended a private Christian high school in a rural area close to the provincial capital of Poso, about 1,000 miles northeast of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, police Maj. Riky Naldo said.
The Central Sulawesi province has a roughly equal number of Muslims and Christians. It was the scene of a bloody sectarian war in 2001-2002 that killed around 1,000 people from both communities. At the time, beheadings, burnings and other atrocities were common.
I am speechless.

Three High School Girls Beheaded in Indonesia's Central Sulawesi Province
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Three high school girls were ambushed on their way to class and beheaded and another was seriously wounded by unidentified assailants, police said. The heads were found several miles from their bodies.
The girls attended a private Christian high school in a rural area close to the provincial capital of Poso, about 1,000 miles northeast of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, police Maj. Riky Naldo said.
A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE:
The Central Sulawesi province has a roughly equal number of Muslims and Christians. It was the scene of a bloody sectarian war in 2001-2002 that killed around 1,000 people from both communities. At the time, beheadings, burnings and other atrocities were common.
A government-mediated truce ended the conflict in early 2002 but since then, there have been a series of bomb attacks and assassinations targeting Christians.
It must be Bush's fault.
