".....abducted by a suspected Islamic extremist group...."

I'm a little disappointed that they don't have a "cleric" leading this islamic extremist group.

Whatta a great religion. The Indonesian "cleric" caught in Thailand. The one-eyed "cleric" in London, Osama's doctor, number two guy and "cleric," the blind guy that first tried the World Trade Tower deal in 1993.

Not to mention the "clerics" in Iran.

Whaata great religion, what with the religious leaders leading terror, all across the globe. Oughta make many muslims downright proud of their faith.

A faith which makes its contribution to society "the murder of innocent civilians."

Islamists ransoming EUropean tourists in Africa has become a lucrative business.

Wait...Germany opposed the war to libreate Iraq, we know what the Swiss position is.

The only hostage taken that makes sense is the Dutchman.
