One of the worst things I have ever seen are photos of human heads stuck on every second paling of a long picket fence in Indonesia, after an atrocity committed by a tribal group in response to massacre from a Muslim group who attacked one of their villages and slaughtered the people in a frenzied unprovoked attack. I had never seen anything like that in my life. It shocked me to the core on opening an attachment to an email at the end of 1999, and seeing that I told some people about what I had seen. The response was, “Well, sometimes you have to resort to the sword to defend yourself.” Really, is that true? Well, the act committed by the Christians did end the inter-tribal violence between them. There was no more killing after the converted Christian tribesmen committed that final atrocity and put the heads of their tormentors on the fence palings as a warning.
