This story is interesting both in what it does say and what it doesn't say.

Now I understand that any news medium doesn't want to fan the flames of ethnic hatred. But in an effort to be "fair and unbiased" or just "politically correct", a great disservice is being rendered. Note the quote

A woman from Jibla who identified herself only as Fatima said the attack was "a crime unacceptable in any religion. This contradicts Islam."

Now this is simply blatantly untrue. These people were missionaries. Islam does not tolerate any (and I do mean any) attempt to convert believers in Islam to other faiths. The penalty for even attempting to do so is quite specific - death. That's death to the convertor and the converted. Moreover, anyone who carries out the sentence is to be praised, and will be rewarded by Allah.

This is the mindset that we're dealing with. To not publicize the truth, perpetuates ignorance. And in this case what you don't know will hurt you.

More crying in the wilderness.
