Absolutely -- Susanne Tilman was incredible -- this is an incredible example of Christians underpersecution, showing the world what a Christian REALLY looks like!
It does no good to enflame the passions of folks unnecessarily. I agree, this does not change the martyrdom of these dear brothers, but to make misleading statements is also inappropriate.
We must still be in prayer for the families of these men, and for the embryonic church in that area!

I just came across some information on another blog correcting some exaggerations that had been released.
This certainly doesn't diminish the martyrdom of these brothers, but some of the details about the torture were apparently not entirely correct.
You can see the updated information here.
Thanks Steve --
