Hehe! Who says Islam doesn't respect the other cultures of the world?

They don't discriminate. They hate everybody!

That would explain their presence in Iraq, but not their presence in a war zone.

Really. What's next? Icelandic hostages?

How many countries' citizens have they now taken hostage? Is anyone keeping a count?

Probably next to be kidnapped are a bunch of Arctic penguins to piss off PETA!

Something is going on with these rash of kidnappings......remember that article about that meeting in London......of all the Iraqi groups.

This was no doubt part of the plan.

They are trying to make Iraq seem so violent that companies and countries will abandon the contracts.

"This has to be the most multi-cultural spate of kidnappings in the history of the world. Celebrate Diversity, Iraqi-style."

Yep, that's a keeper. Excellent dead-eye targeting, Adam.

Speaking of diversity celebrations, did anyone else see this picture from a recent communist terror-tool uprising in San Francisco?

Personally, I would have to be in solidarity with anyone who bulldozes this old fool off the Bay Bridge (free speech, doncha know.)

Diversity is the keyword,diversity.

Kidnap everyone and no racial or ethnic profiling.

No wonder the left likes this insurgency,it's what they have been screaming about for 40 years.

"The islamofascists would not be wise to p-off the Chinese"

I doubt China could do anything about it other than perhaps diplomatic/economic pressure through other nations, even if we let them in. All this bad behavior on the part of the Iraqi militants does is justify what we may do to them next. I don’t think any of the major partners are going to change policy due to this mini-Tet offensive.

Yeah, but I think the 2 Germans are now believed to be dead.

Also, there's a Canadian, I believe. And there was a claim on Al Jazeera that they are holding 30 hostages, among them Bulgarians and South Koreans, so we can add those countries to the list.

Agreed......it is becoming counterproductive.

The only thing they are accomplishing is......making themselves out to as idiots.
