The male victim had 10 bullet holes in his head, chest and stomach, and was discovered in the Mushaki area of Qarabagh district in Ghazni province, said police officer Abdul Rahman...
The victim is believed to be a 42-year-old pastor named Bae Hyung-kyu.

When they catch these animals they should string them up by their ankles, slit one of their wrists and let them bleed out slowly and then bury them with pig carcasses.
I imagine the Taliban is butchering Christians because they believe it will get them even more in the good graces of American democrats.
(group)" Fight On!"(/group)
Oddly enough an English expression very popular in Korea and Japan.
Prayers for his family. How senseless, yet how unsurprising.
susie
Reverend Bae Hyung-kyu - martyr.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand Reverend. You made a difference with you life and that is the best thing anyone can say when they stand before their Lord.
The Koreans have a reputation for avenging such injustice.
Let us hope that they send in some specialists to insure that the Taliban understand that Koreans do not take such things lightly. Perhaps a personal appeal to some of the Taliban leadership in Quetta would be most to the point.
I know this isn’t very Christ like. Why go into these lands of animals. Let them go to hell.
G-D rest his soul and prayers to the others.
I have yet to hear the MSM call them christians, they keep calling him a South Korean volunteer. WHY??
Martyr....suddenly that means something more to me NOW than the old stories! He’s with His Master and Lord now, and that’s a good thing. But the World cannot sit blindly on the side...out-of-the-fray anymore! I feel helpless, but I can pray for them,and all that are under persecution!
Completely agree with your thoughts.
It’s called the “Great Comission” for a reason, my friend!
Amen.
Rest in peace, brother.
Knowing the Korean sentiment and culture, there is going to be tit-for-tat HELL to pay, for any scraggly bearded, skull capped raghead anywhere near a mosque in Korea, particularly that area near Itaewon on the hill near the US Army base in Seoul.
From Death and Martyrdom: An Important Aspect of Early Christian Eschatology .
If the Apostles and early Church fathers had that attitude none of us would be able to make it to Heaven. Thank goodness they loved me more than they feared the Jews and Romans.
This is sad and appalling. Not surprising, unfortunately.
I cannot remember the name of their most efficient specialists, but freeper service guys, reminiscing from the Korean war genuflect when they speak of them. Super bad-a$$ mo's.
I don't recall being PC as one of their handicaps, and I don't think they were beholden to any type or ROE whatsoever.
Unk, can you think of the ones I'm talking about?
Bae Mok-Sa-Nim...
Rest In Peace.
There are more martyrs today than at any other time in the history of the world.....
Another saint in Heaven.
It always struck me as oddly appropriate that the mosque sat atop "hooker hill."
Let’s see now. Taliban = cult of death.
Reverend, pastor = Christian.
What another case of a Christian being murdered by the death cult?
What? the media hasn’t picked up on it? You mean the media is too interested in Britny Spear’s underwear, Paris Hilton’s stay in jail, and Hillary’s “cleavage” to care about the mass slaughter? Shocked! Absolutely shocked!
Murdered on this birthday no less. Damn these animals to the depths of hell.

My heart goes out to those Koreans as people. My head still asks what the heck they were doing going there on a Christian Mission (assuming that the free medical services argument is merely to protect them since the Taliban made Christian mission work illegal).
Anyway, it reminds me of those two women who got into trouble doing mission work in Iraq a few years back, got a lot of free media and wrote a book about it. I don’t think those two could possibly have a word to say that I would care to hear other than “We were stupid”.
I pray that these folks make it out, go home and they and others learn a lesson about meddling in affairs that are not their own.
Pastor Bae knew a few major things from the Bible which burned in his soul before he died. One, “To live is Christ & to die is gain.” Two, “He who declares me before men, I will declare before my Father in heaven. He who does not declare me before men, I will NOT declare before my Father in heaven.”
Pastor Bae knew that this was his hour to stand up for Jesus Christ. To do any less, would disgrace the name of Christ & His Father who sent Him down to earth.
Pastor Bae was probably martyred as his captors didn’t recognize the deity of Christ. They probably were trying to get him to renounce his faith. Their lack of success was the probable reason for the 10 bullet holes to the pastor’s head. Pastor Bae was probably gone after 1 or 2 shots, thank God!
Who knows maybe the perpetrator will come to the Lord like those Venezualan Indians did. Did you see the movie, “End of the Spear?” It is based on a real facts!! Definitely worth seeing!
May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ guard your heart!
Your brother,
Phil
We are so politically correct in America, that Pastor Bae’s faith was concealed in our media.
As for your comment about the Taliban, I have been saying to my friends & others for a while that Islam is not a peace-loving religion. Mohammed was not a peace-loving man!
Islam is the cult of death. Why do you think the people haven’t progressed technologically in the arab part of the world? It’s because you need a peaceful, harmonious populace to create new things. The only thing that Muslims know how to do, is pray & blow themselves up!
As for the media ignoring what happened to Pastor Bae, of course they did. That’s because the media is very LEFT!
Have you caught that Hillary calls herself a progressive as well as others that don’t believe in conservative principles?
Progressive = liberal
When liberals meet Jesus at Judgement Day, they will say, “I’m sorry Lord! I must’ve been insane to think the way I did (against your commandments)”.
ie: Liberalism = Insanity

Well, it is official. Phil is completely deranged if he actually believes the babble he spouts.
Oh, puh-lease! Sure, Coreans (yes, with C) do have temper, but they are not wild, lawless animals who go around avenging everything tit-for-tat.
The sentiment is there of course, but not all Coreans are going to act upon it? Talk about a broad brush!!!
Maybe you were not around when that happened?
puh-lease, yourself. Do not lecture me.
Several incidents near Seoul when Kim was beheaded. What, pray tell, is the population of Seoul now and how many percent of people acted out violently “tit-for-tat?”
Don’t open yourself up so wide if you don’t need lecturing.
I will be sure to remember you.
Whaddya mean? They were probably regular “customers”, when the prices fell after curfew! ;-)
