Beheaded Christian teenage girl in Indonesia

This beautiful young lady in Indonesia is one of three teenage girls who were recently beheaded by Muslims. They died for Jesus, whom they are now with. Will we live for Him? Let us remember these dear ones as we may be tempted to whine or complain about our minor daily challenges. (Go ahead; it is okay to weep for her.)


(Yes, this is gross. But shall we hide ourselves from the reality that they experienced, to keep ourselves comfortable? Comfortable Westerners need to be shocked to realize the kind of inhuman, cruel enemy we face.)

From a news report:

The teenagers were attacked on their way to their Christian school near the city of Poso, in the eastern province of Sulawesi, on 29 October.

Jakarta said recent attacks on the island were an attempt to foment religious hostility.

A girl who survived the attack reportedly told police there were six machete-wielding attackers, dressed in black and wearing masks.

About 400 police and 600 troops were ordered into the area following the incident amid fears that the killings would reignite religious unrest.

Sulawesi province has a long history of violence between Muslim and Christians.

More than 1,000 people were killed in religious clashes in the province between 2000 and 2001.

In the latest incident, gunmen shot and critically wounded two schoolgirls in Poso, on Tuesday.

"The perpetrators are believed to aim at provoking the religious emotions of the people in Poso so that unrest erupts," said Andi Mallarangeng, a spokesman for Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
