The "tolerance" of the "Religion of Peace" evident here... isn't it?

(CNSNews.com) - Three Indonesian women sentenced to prison for the "Christianization" of Muslim children have lost their appeal, and observers of the courtroom drama blame Muslim extremists who threatened to kill the judges if they didn't hand down a guilty verdict.
The Muslim children were required to get permission from their parents to attend the class, and those without permission were sent home, according to the women's attorney, Posma Radjaguguk. (emphasis mine) The charges were brought by a government-funded council of Muslim clerics.Just another reminder of who we're fighting here, folks. To say that they merely seek a "peaceful co-existence" does a gross disservice, in that it understates the true threat against us, while at the same time understates the importance of our WOT, which is, in fact, a war for our very existence in the face of radical Islam.
According to the U.S. State Department, the women were charged after community members complained that free pencil boxes and T-shirts were given to the children.
When the trial began on June 30, truckloads of jihadists thronged the district court of Indramayu demanding that Zakaria and her two co-defendants be killed. They reportedly brought coffins to the courthouse to underscore the threat. "Hang them! Hang them! Hang Rebekkah!" the crowd shouted.
"If Rebekkah asks forgiveness and enters Islam, will you forgive her?" a protest leader asked while shouting through a megaphone.
"No! No! Punish her! Kill Rebekkah! Hang her!" the crowd responded.
Make no mistake. A preponderance of euphamisms will not give us the collective resolve to win this war. It will be won with our collective focus on just who is our true enemy.
Monikers such as the "Religion of Peace" just won't do it.
