Indonesian Christians riot as three executed

[jaguarr]

like that pic of a cigar? Couldn't use a smaller pic? It strenched the screen sideways

So, basically you admit that there was nothing wrong with the picture in terms of content or board rules yet you deleted it anyway? Thanks alot. I appreciate your candor, though I don't appreciate your censorship (even if it was in the interest of keeping this thread civil, which I do appreciate). (The pic didn't stretch my screen, which is why I used it).

Dew did the same thing to me.

I was trying to emphasize by using the board-supplied 7 sized font to say something like, "THE BAY CITY ROLLERS RULE!"​

And I came back to the thread and it said,

"the bay city rollers rule!"
There. Isn't that better? - Dew

and I'm like, "Why do you even have the 7 size if we're not supposed to use it? "

and she goes, "Well, it stretched out my screen."

LOL, whatever....it didn't stretch mine out. lol

[Mr Sparkle]

LOL, bay city rollers.

It stretched my screen.

I say with mockery

 

[Mr. Thing]

LOL, bay city rollers.

Some of you need to show some damn respect. Morg was attacked by a wild pack of cigars when he was a child. Grow up.

Security was tight in Palu, where violence between Christians and Muslims has left thousands dead in recent years...

The case has raised tensions in the world's most populous Muslim nation and sparked debate about the role religion played in punishing those who joined in violence that swept Sulawesi from 1998 to 2002, killing more than 1,000 people. Only a handful of Muslims were convicted and none jailed for more than 15 years.

Amazing how it takes two pages of pointless banter to get to this point.

Although the government insists the three Christians got a fair trial, with 28 witnesses providing testimony, rights workers and legal experts noted that the judiciary is corrupt and susceptible to outside influence. Muslim hardliners gathered at the court for the trial, threatening judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and witnesses.

Hey, Rayne. I would appreciate you not contributing those words to me, as I did not say them. They are from the article. Thanks, sport.

By the way, if you're trying to use what you quoted as a way to justify anything that the Christians did at that Islamic school, well...that's pretty sad.

but then...Rayne is "pretty sad"

the men executed got what they deserved. You attack schoolkids you don't deserve life. Doesn't matter what faith they are they don't deserve life after that kind of act. The rioters haven't got a leg to stand on in this case, rioters rarely do :

Unless they are Muslim...right???

 

[Addendum]

Unless they are Muslim...right???

One's religion isn't a defense for killing kids

 

[Erundur]

Unless they are Muslim...right???

Don't worry, you'd be happy if it were the other way around, damn those barbaric muslims for using there religion of hatred for killing innocent christian children, even though it does not reflet the religion as a whole but only a small number of people.

 

[NOFX]

This has been going on for decades...Its nice to see the Christians are actually fighting back this time. It saddens me what has been happening in the last ten years. I've been saving money to go back home to visit but the way things things are right now it wont be safe to back for a while or quite possible never

 

[Addendum]

 

[Whirlysplat]

This is why it is important to realise the problems between England, The US and certain Muslim states and practices are a clash of culture rather than religion any right thinking person from our culture has as much of a problem with Christians who behave in this way.

Yeah....one was shot in the back this week:

Burial for nun killed in Somalia [/B]

Hundreds turned out to bid farewell to Sister Sgorbati
The 65-year-old Italian nun shot dead in Somalia on Sunday has been buried in neighbouring Kenya.
Sister Leonella Sgorbati was killed, along with her bodyguard, outside the Mogadishu hospital where she worked.

Some suspect the shooting was connected with strong criticism by a radical Somali cleric about the Pope's recent comments on Islam.

Despite the killing, Sister Sgorbati's colleagues vowed to return to lawless Somalia and continue her work.

"The [Somali] people love us, they want us. We know the risks, but we will go back soon to continue our work," Sister Gianna Irene Peano told Reuters news agency during the funeral at a packed Catholic church in Nairobi.

Sister Sgorbati worked in Kenya for more than 30 years before going to Somalia.

'I forgive'

The fluent Somali-speaker was taken into surgery in the Austrian-funded SOS Hospital where she worked but died from her injuries

"She was in agony at the end, but she did not complain. In fact, she said: 'I forgive'," said Sister Peano.


Sister Leonella had worked in both Somalia and Kenya
No group has claimed responsibility.

The following day, a suicide bomber tried to kill President Abdullahi Yusuf in the Somali town of Baidoa.

Mogadishu is controlled by an Islamist group, which some say is linked to al-Qaeda.

The Union of Islamic Courts strongly rejects these accusations and has condemned both attacks.

Yusuf Mohamed Siad, security chief for the Union of Islamic courts (UIC) which controls Mogadishu, said two people had been arrested over Sister Sgorbati's killing.

Muslim anger

Pope Benedict XVI angered many Muslims after quoting a 14th Century Christian emperor as saying the Prophet Muhammad brought the world only evil and inhuman things.

The Pope has since expressed his regret, saying his remarks were misunderstood and did not express in any way his personal opinion.

Last Friday, hardline Somali cleric Sheikh Abubakar Hassan Malin told worshippers at his mosque to hunt down and kill whoever offended the Prophet Mohammed.

There has been no effective central government in Somalia since 1991, although the UIC is credited with bringing some stability to Mogadishu since it seized control in June.

Dude... they attacked school children. There is no excuse for that. You're not a very nice human being if you honestly believe senseless violence is "nice".

You are correct. That was wrong.

But I think what the guy is getting at is the loooooong history of Muslim aggression against the Christians and the them taking it on the chin for over decade.

The amazing differrence is the amount of time it took for them to reach the boiling point. Muslims would have rioted 10 years ago.

Christians are not perfect. They has weaknesses like everyone else. This was trageic. Note how the guy's father told them not to seek revenge??

Killing those children was wrong. It can only lead to more problems.

It's teachings like that make Christianity different than Islam.

 

[hippy fascist]

Unless they are Muslim...right???

No ******, a child killer is a child killer whatever their race. Celldog you come on here and winge about how harsh the treatment of black people in comics is yet you're happy to unload on muslims. Shut the **** up and think before you open your mouth in futre dumbass
