How do you know that Gandalf?
The question you should be asking, is on what possible basis this video can be dubbed with the title "Indonesian Muslim Killing Muslims That Converts To Christianity"? The answer is none.
For my part, this tweaked my interest because I specifically remembered an email trail back in the day with suspiciously similar gruesome photos, and the story then mentioned nothing about christians being killed by muslims.
So I did a bit of elementary research, and the first discrepency I found was the liveleaks video (the same video) which told a story about a non-muslim tribe attacking muslims at a small place called Sampit.
I got far more traction when I searched using the Indonesian spelling 'tragedi sampit' - and there is a wealth of information - most of it in Indonesian. And sure enough the same video pops up repeatedly.
If nothing else, this exercise taught me that this incident, while quite significant inside Indonesia, is barely known outside Indonesia. Small wonder that people can take the video and make a blatant lie out of it - since most people won't be the wiser.
