Christians forced to convert in Indonesia Lata Lata is one of dozens of Christian villages in North Maluku which were overwhelmed by Jihad warriors early last year.

Unlike the south, the northern islands are predominantly Muslim.

Jihad forces were outsiders, but had sympathizers in the neighboring villages. Three nervous young men who managed to escape Lata Lata tell of what has befallen their countrymen. They saw the war began in Lata Lata at the end of January last year.

Christians forced to convert in Indonesia Lata Lata is one of dozens of Christian villages in North Maluku which were overwhelmed by Jihad warriors early last year.

Unlike the south, the northern islands are predominantly Muslim.

Jihad forces were outsiders, but had sympathisers in the neighbouring villages. Three nervous young men who managed to escape Lata Lata tell of what has befallen their countrymen. They saw the war began in Lata Lata at the end of January last year.

"They came with automatic weapons," says one. "They pushed us back, although we tried to defend. Around 6pm they got us out of the village and we all fled to the hills." Many people were killed in the initial attack, they say. The survivors fled to the hills for three weeks. Eventually Indonesia's Muslim-dominated security forces came and ordered them all to come down. "The security forces said if we did not come down they would force us down." When they got back to the village, they found it drastically changed.

The church had been destroyed, and any sign of a cross removed. One large cross on a wall proved impossible to blow up, so they covered it with concrete. The defeated Christians were taken to a village playing field where they were given the choice to convert to Islam or die a quick death.

They were also required to change their names, as Christian names were "not good."

They say doctors were brought in from Java and Malaysia to circumcise the men.

Some of the villagers suffered infections, but at least surgical equipment was used. On the island of Kesui, dozens were circumcised with a single, blunt razor blade. Lata Lata is not a unique case. There are many areas which Moluccan Christians can no longer safely enter. Christians who have escaped from these areas bring tales similar to what happened in Lata Lata. Christian leaders estimate several thousand Christians have been forcibly converted to Islam since the Moluku civil war began in January 1999. Abridged from the South China Morning Post, 4 July 2001.
