To Behead or Not to Behead, That is the Question

I really don't like the subject of beheading.  However, when you talk about persecution, inevitably the subject is going to come up.  In fact, to this day, the number one post on this blog is the one where I put a few pictures of someone who had been beheaded. And honestly, it grosses me out that people actually search for pictures on beheading, but believe me IT'S TRUE, they do.


With that said, I wanted to share with you the controversy that has come up that involved the possibility of beheading.  The following article is interesting because in it the bombers who were involved in the two Bali nightclub bombings  in 2002 requested to be beheaded because it was more "Islamic in nature" (and also not as painful).  See the article Bombers to be Shot Dead After Losing Court Appeal to Be Beheaded

Here's a snip of the article - 

None of the three bombers, who were sentenced to death in 2003, have ever expressed any regret for the attack, except to say that they are sorry there were Muslim victims.


Imam Samudra, known as the “smiling bomber” said earlier this month: “I don’t ask for forgiveness from infidels, I only ask for forgiveness from Muslims.”


They have never asked for clemency and spoken proudly of their wish to die as martyrs. But their lawyers have repeatedly attempted to delay the execution whenever it has appeared imminent.


Did you notice the word infidels?  I hope so, because this is important, because when it comes to Islamic terrorism, they consider anyone an infidel who does not subscribe to Islam.  


Isn't this really sad? I think it is, because these people subscribe to a doctrine of demons and death, and they do not know how much Jesus loves them, and died for them!

Please remember today, those who are involved in the religion of Islam.  Pray for the men mentioned in this story, and ask the Lord to reveal Himself before they undergo the death penalty they are under.
