An Afghan insurgent group has released video of a kidnapped North American couple, featuring two children apparently born to them in captivity.

The footage from the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network shows Canadian Joshua Boyle and American Caitlan Coleman with two young boys, who appeared healthy.

In the clip Ms Coleman begs for an end to their "Kafkaesque nightmare".

The couple were abducted in Afghanistan in 2012 during a camping trip, while she was pregnant.

The insurgent group is demanding the release of three of its prisoners in Afghanistan.

Too funny. I was just invited to go to Iran to give a series of lectures in my area of expertise (Agriculture). My reply back to him was that there was no amount of money that I would take to embark to that $hithole.

So that picture was taken before they were kidnapped? And the Canadian guy was already sporting a beard that only Muslims wear?

Hostage-taking, piracy, slavery, rape, looting of ‘war spoils’, murder of ‘infidels’, lies and treachery when proposing a ceasefire, etc. etc.

What would Mohammed do?

Of course he would wholeheartedly approve of all of that.

“I assume his Tolleybon beard is from before they departed”

Bingo. Probably either a convert himself or thought that growing that beard would protect him somehow.

Afghanistan has great potential to be a backpacker’s paradise. With elevations over 24,000 feet and greatly varied terrain there are often beautiful vistas.

But first we’ll have to convert all the Mohammedans to Christianity.

Wow! You ‘d think that if a Neckbeard Commander was captured that the Legion of Fedora would do everything in it’s power to get him back?

They've been furiously tipping for 5 years to no avail.

This here is your definition of terminal stupidity. Brought to you by the same people bringing you the Electoral College protests and concern over anti-Muslim backlash.

NO, I know ‘Sanka’.

Paul Harvey used to advertise some beverage called ‘Kava’ or something similar, as a non-coffee morning beverage...............

Did they convert to Islam when captured? According to the Koran, she becomes a sexually available slave and her previous marriage is dissolved.
