    let’s see if the government is really fair to handle this case? Definitely I wait for the Bali bombers to die.

    I read one tabloid Sabda recently, that Brigjen Oegroseno the ex-Central Sulawesi police chief believes Tibo, Dominggus and Martinus were innocent.

    He said he dared to say that because he still has conscience, he knows the difference between right and wrong.
    He also said, if God didn’t want Tibo, Dominggus and Martinus died, then a miracle would happen upon them. But if God had to take their lives, maybe it’s for a better reason, they are now living the peaceful life.

    Too bad, I can’t find that tabloid online.
    But this following link shows how Brigjen Oegroseno opposed the execution of Tibo cs.

    Btw I disagree if Christian in Indonesia become frightened or frustated, maybe some small number. Christian people are strong.

    Sad is more appropriate.

    He did try it, but he had no power to fight those conspirators without back up from gov (and I think we can figure out why).
    But at least he said what he must said, that Tibo, Dominggus and Marinus were innocent.
    So now the world will/hear the true fact.

    When one reads of churches being attacked and shut down in a cosmopolitan center such as Bandung, it is not hard to imagine that Christians in Indonesia feel threatened, and justifiably so.

    Sometimes I think it’s very difficult to change their mindset! Why this thing could be happen in Indonesia? I believe, there are something wrong with the religion teaching in pesantrens, they think they are great people, actually they are stupid or ‘kolot’. Most of the religious teachers are teaching their students in ‘orthodox ways’ with full of promises from heaven….that’s something unbelievable!

    This is for Edward Farel;

    You don’t need to gloat on other’s misery. We. Christians in Indonesia realised from looooooong time a go, that being Christian there is not easy. Being “different”from the rest of your classmates, being called “the only moron who haven’t forfeit to the communal demand to convert to Islam”in your work place, and the quotes goes on and on. As if we have a taste of being first Christian in Rome hundreds of years back.
    So, please be civil, and try to tolerate and understand why We, Christian in Indonesia, fear for our beliefs, and even life.
    And for you to say that someone is deserve to die, with such anger and hatred, just show to the World, what “kind” of people your kind are.
    No one should judge others, like we, Christian knows WHO says, if any of you have less sin than this woman, let he throw the first stone on her.
    So, you are sure, that you have less sin than Them, then?

    I rest my case.
