Six years ago, 3 Christian Indonesian militants orchestrated a series of attacks on Muslims that resulted in between 70 and 200 deaths. This violence was part of a larger wave that spanned several years and took the lives of more than 1000.
The three men - Fabianus Tibo, Marianus Riwu and Dominggus da Silva were tried, convicted and sentenced to death. After a few years of appeals and even an intervention from the Pope, the three men were put in front of the firing squad a few days ago.
As a result, thousands of Christians began rioting Friday in Sulawesi Indonesia to mark this horrible injustice. Mobs torched cars, looted Muslim-owned stores and freed hundreds of inmates by breaking the jail’s main gate. In addition, machete-wielding mobs ran through the streets of Flores sending women and children running.
Christians love to sarcastically claim Islam is the "Religion of Peace". In the spirit of that, let me say, "Praise Jesus! Religion of Peace!" |
Execution of 3 Christian militants matter of law, not religion: Hassan
Indonesia's Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda said this week's execution of three Roman Catholic militants for bloody attacks on Muslims six years ago was a matter of justice not religion.
"The case was a pure enforcement of law. It has nothing to do with the questions of tolerance between Islam and other religions," Hassan said of the executions Friday that have sparked rioting by Christians in the world's most populous Muslim country.
"There was a misperception here," the minister told The Associated Press in an interview Saturday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting. "All the legal remedies have been exhausted."
Hassan's comments came as the Vatican expressed "great regret" over the execution Friday by firing squad of the three men who were accused of leading a Christian militia that launched a series of attacks in 2000 -- including a machete and gun assaulton an Islamic school that left at least 70 people dead.
The executions have sparked fresh sectarian clashes in parts of central and eastern Indonesia, with Christian mobs looting Muslim stores, freeing hundreds of prisoners and torching cars and police posts. |
