Two "peaceful" religions in a fight to death

Three teenage girls merrily on their way to school, books in hand. Six men resolutely on their way to do god's work, machetes in hand. Chop, chop, chop, the young girls will never become women.

"The three headless bodies of the girls, dressed in brown uniforms, were left at the site of the attack. Residents found their heads at separate locations two hours later.

"Muslim-Christian clashes in the Poso area [on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia] killed 2000 people between 1998 and 2001 when a peace deal was agreed. While the worst violence abated after the deal, there have been sporadic outbreaks since. Bombings in May in the Christian town of Tentena killed 22 people."
