South Korea going the appeasement route

South Korea, in a decidedly secular move, has chosen to bow to terrorist demands in order to save the live’s of 19 Korean missionaries. MSNBC.com has the story: Taliban, S. Korea reach agreement on captives:

GHAZNI, Afghanistan (AP) - The Taliban agreed Tuesday to free 19 South Korean church volunteers held hostage since July after the government in Seoul agreed to end all missionary work and keep a promise to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by the end of the year.

Sadly South Korea will learn the lesson many a country has, most recently Spain, that appeasing thugs and butchers only validates that their methods work. It does nothing to curb their ways, it just gives the scum another talking point for their crap movement.

I can not imagine that the 19 missionaries being released would want to be freed under the terms that South Korea has agreed to. Doesn’t stopping future Christian missionary work in Afghanistan make the loss of two missionaries less significant? It was important enough for them to sacrifice their lives to spread God’s word, so wouldn’t a better response be to flood the country with more missionaries? I’m just saying, we are in a religious war and the only thing the enemy fears is the Truth that is Jesus Christ.
