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.

Prayers for his family. How senseless, yet how unsurprising.

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.

" . . . what it means to be a Christian is given a specific and definite content, and that content is this: to be a Christian means to reject the false pretense of the world's powers; to be a Christian means to confess the true God who has created all things and who makes anew by giving life to the dead through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; and to be a Christian means to remain steadfast in that confession and hope even unto death.

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!
