Sulawesi is weeping!


Tana Toraja

If u love diving...Sulawesi...in Indonesia, is one of the best spots in the world..crystal clear water...beautiful marine lives..the mystical Torajan burial..and the aromatic Torajan coffee...I love the place. So it is extremely sad to read that 3 christian teenage girls have been beheaded.The tension between christians and muslims is a never ending affair..or is it?
In contrast, Dubai is a blessed place...u have different nationalities from all over the world..different religions..cultures..social status..etc living and working side by side..etc tolerance is very important.And I also believe with the bigger vision of modernization and equal opportunities in place will keep all the unncessary bickerings at bay.

Why were the young ladies in qusstion beheaded, had they been convicted of a criminal act? Can you provide a bit more in depth information, or post a link to a reliable news service... (yeah, like what colour is the sky on the planet I live on right?)

kf,
The Christian-Muslim conflict in Sulawesi was an extension of a wider sectarian war in nearby Maluku archipelago in which up to 9,000 people died between 1999 and 2002.
