Indonesia's Hatred - 25th Feb

Recently (again) horrifying pictures of Chinese people, young ones especially filled my email when I checked it one day. I was again shocked and horrified. The pictures were taken in Indonesia (time unknown), showing chinese people without bodies, they were beheaded and used as trophies. There was one where there was this small kid's head raised up high by man, sort of leading the mob...they were cheering...it was like they were happy with what they have done...

Another one showed the picture of a pretty lady (supposedly pretty as the inset picture claims the body to be) lying in the middle of the road, naked and it was said that she was also raped...some showed their heads on top of racks (with hair still intact) or lying on the roads....And guess what? They were also raped...Kill and rape? What could be worse than that? These pictures were indeed disheartening, until now I could still imagine the pictures in my head....and I'm glad that I'm still alive. These beheadings just makes no sense...did the chinese people act selfishly? Did they harass the locals? Did they betray the country? Can anyone out there, especially those depicted in the pictures care to explain their actions? Do the victims deserve to be beheaded like that? Are the chinese people even worse than animals to be treated like so?....Sad...

But it makes me wonder, is it the Muslim side in these people that hates the chinese or is it the Indonesian people themselves that hates the Chinese? Even here, we are not spared from the prejudice my the supposedly "local" people. No doubt, you can chinese people almost anywhere on the globe. And they work hard for themselves, but why all the hatred? Its not that we cant be tolerant...but sometimes, all we want are just a fair treatment...is that so hard? No one can say that they are the original inhabitants of the place...no one can claim so...But it seems, especially in Muslim dominated countires, the chinese are always dispised....why?

(I chose to have the pictures omitted to avoid disheartening the reader...)
