A "moderate" Muslim nation

The three Islamic militants terrorists who beheaded three Christian schoolgirls have been sentenced in Indonesia. Want to take a guess at what the punishment is going to be -- and remember that thieves have their hands cut off in Saudi Arabia and drug dealers get the death sentence in Indonesia.

If you guessed 14-20 years, you'd be right!

The three militants had faced a maximum penalty of death by firing squad, but judges ruled that they deserved some leniency for cooperating with authorities, confessing and showing remorse.

Want to make a bet that if the religious affiliations were reversed, the beheaders would be getting the death penalty?

May I strongly suggest that you never visit Indonesia.
