The [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] Greg Koukl writes in his article ''The Real Murderers: Atheism or Christianity?'':
{{Cquote|Finally, in [[Cambodia]] (and this was close to me because I lived in [[Thailand]] in 1982 working with the broken pieces of the Cambodian holocaust from 1975 to 1979) "as a percentage of a nation's total population, the worst genocide appears to be that in Cambodia, formerly Kampuchea. According to the [[Khmer Rouge]] foreign minister, more than one third of the eight million Khmer were killed between April 17, 1975 and January 1979. One third of the entire country was put to death under the rule of [[Pol Pot|Pol Pott]], the founder of the Communist Part of Kampuchea. During that time towns, money and property were abolished. Economic execution by bayonet and club introduced for such offenses as falling asleep during the day, asking to too many questions, playing non-communist music, being old and feeble, being the offspring of an undesirable, or being too well educated. In fact, deaths in the Tuol Sleng interrogation center in Pnom Penh, which is the capitol of Kampuchea, reached 582 in a day."<ref>[https://www.str.org/articles/the-real-murderers-atheism-or-christianity The Real Murderers: Atheism or Christianity?] by Greg Koukl</ref>}}

{{Cquote|Khieu Samphan, 67. French-educated, his thesis provided ideological basis for the Khmer Rouge. Studious and humorless, was appointed prime minister of KR government in 1979. Has the highest international profile among the KR leaders. Sends faxes to Sihanouk. One recently warned of an assassination plot.<ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/ASIANOW/asiaweek/96/0823/nat2.html A Rogues' Gallery], Asia Week</ref>}}
