"Sectarian War"? or Terrorism

One more update to the previous post: here is a link to an update of the beheading of 3 Christian girls in Indonesia by Muslim terrorists.

One thing this Christianity Today article does that is similar to what I have heard before is to properly identify the problem there.

It says the group called “Laskar Jihad” is determined to exterminate the Christian community in that region and establish Shariah law.

Other media report it as a “sectarian war” or a “religious conflict”. The latter makes it sound like the genesis of the fighting is from both sides rather than a mostly one-sided assault (by Muslim jihadists), with the other side (Christians) trying to defend themselves.

Check it out. What is your take on this kind of violence against Christians?
