   The great shame of the three men under threat of execution is that the real conspirators have not been named, not even in the list provided by Tibo, Marinnus and Dominggus. All the named people only refer to the 3rd round of fighting when the Christian militia was organized to defend themselves against the Islamic attacks. All the 16 are part of the defence effort not the original attackers. For that we have to go back to December 1998 and Easter 2000, the 1st and 2nd attacks when the police and military did nothing to protect the Christian communities against Islamic attacks. Why are not these attackers and masterminds being called to justice? But no-one was nor does it seem will be.That’s why the militia was formed. That’s why Poso will find no justice.

   Many thanks for putting this information up. Very disturbing, but it appears par for the course where Christians are concerned. Indonesia’s pain mounts.

   If these three are murdered by the Indonesian state or more correctly Islam. Then ‘fair minded’ Indonesia will wear the horrible stain of religious brutality and biased justice that is normally practiced in lesser nations. R. Patterson

   There is a biblical mandate for taking sword in defence and against unjust and opressive movments eg luke gospel. No problem in Christians forming their own militias.

   No Jivan, that’s not true
   we can not just take one or two verses as an excuse, we need to understand it thoroughly
