SOUTH KOREANS TOLD TO CONVERT TO ISLAM OR BE KILLED.


[+] serious ballot by EUROTOPIA
ACTIVE Fri Sep 14, 07 - Sat Sep 13, 08

"A group of South Koreans held hostage by Taleban militants in Afghanistan have said they were beaten and ordered at gunpoint to convert to Islam.
At a news conference in Seoul, the former captives also said they were made to work "like slaves" during their six-week ordeal.

Twenty-one members of the group were freed last month following an agreement between South Korea and the captors.

Two of the hostages - all Christian aid workers - had already been killed.

Beaten and kicked

The former hostages said they feared for their lives at times when their captors turned violent.

"We were beaten with a tree branch or kicked around. Some kidnappers threatened us with death at gunpoint to force us to follow them in chanting their Islamic prayer for conversion," said Jae Chang-hee.

I was beaten many times. They pointed a rifle and bayonet at me and tried to force me to convert."

He said the group "lived like slaves. We had to level the ground for motorbikes, and get water and make a fire".

Another of the group, Yu Jung-hwa, described how she thought she was going to die.

"The most difficult moment, when I had a big fear of death, was when the Taleban shot video.

"All 23 of us leaned against a wall and armed Taleban aimed their guns at us, and a pit was before me.

"They said they will save us if we believe in Islam. I almost fainted at the time and I still cannot look at cameras," she said.

Leader executed

Cha Hae-jin said the group were kept "in a closed place like a shed" and were not allowed to go out. "It was like suffocating", she said.

Han Ji-young recalled how the leader of the group, Bae Hyung-kyu, was led away to his death.

"One day, a Taleban called Bae and checked his first and last names and took him out of the room.

"Bae didn't even look at us when he was leaving the room. He only said 'Overcome with faith'," Ms Han said, in tears.

South Korea's intelligence chief has refused to deny that his government paid a ransom to obtain the group's release."

COMMENTS:
Voted : Religious extremism
Obviously religious extremism is the factor. I don't know why so many left-wing intellectuals keep making excuses for those terrorists and keep making weak arguments that it is 'politics' not religion which motivates them. They make direct ultimatums to convert to their religion- it couldn't be made any clearer.

What's the capital of South Korea?

About three dollars.

Voted : Religious extremism
Mixed with a bit of insanity.

Behaving like an animal is just part of their culture. Instead of sending our troops into their country, I'd rather see the troops keeping them from attending flight school in our country. 017

Voted : Religious extremism
although i really do think it has a lot to do with their repressive attitudes and behavior with regard to sex. they are so obsessed with it in such an unhealthy manner that it must lead to extreme frustration resulting in anger at anyone who isn't as frustrated and miserable as they are.
Their goal is to die and go to heaven and spend all of eternity with - what! 70 virgins or something? who wants to spend eternity with a virgin for crying out loud??? Remember the phrase - "Make love - not war"? these guys need to spend more time at home seducing their women and less time hanging out with their guy friends plotting vengence on the rest of humanity.

And what's in it for the virgins? Will they be kicked out of heaven and sent to hell when they are no longer virgins? And where do they get more virgins--God kills little girls and sends them to heaven to be sex slaves to dead guys?

I'm joking, but their concept of heaven just goes to show you how poorly thought out it is.

Voted : Preventing foreigners from entering Afghanistan, and religious fanaticism
Fanatical adherence to a monotheistic religion combined with coercion through fear to demonstrate that foreigners are not welcome in their country. And it worked: South Korea has banned its citizens from traveling to Afghanistan.

aya- "I'm surprised, you were more leftist before."

- To abandon far-leftism is to become mature.
