As the Church Lady used to say, "Isn't that special..." to have the Islamist clerics arranging ransom amounts for the cut throats.
To: Mark Felton
One of the clerics drew up for the kidnappers this image of how negatively killing women would reflect on Arabs and Muslims, Not that killing women and children is a bad thing...just that Westerners with that pesky 'Judeo Christian' mindset 'feel' that it is and will 'react' negatively....
In Muslim and other 3rd world countries this is seen as the West's great weakness and to be exploited..

"Fussy eaters" are created or fostered in much the same way as are kidnappers and extorsionists, by giving in to their demands.

Deranged! No matter what form you try to convey to these low life degen's,You cannot make the message more cleaer to them. Bombs speak Louder than Words. The enemy doesnt play by the rules, why should we then. Negotiate for the "American $$$ currancy" Its amazing how much they hate America but they Sure LOVE the AMERICAN $$$. WHy did'nt they ransom them for the "EURO"? Hate America but sure love their Moolah!.
Can you say "moolah Akbar".

"One of the clerics drew up for the kidnappers this image of how negatively killing women would reflect on Arabs and Muslims," Roz told Reuters. I don't think it would have changed the image that much.

Anyone seen the movie "Man on Fire" ? (The whole hostage/ransom thing sort of reminded me of the movie).

I believe this happens in South America all the time but we don't seem to hear much about that.

It seems to me the terrorists are getting desperate.
Terror cannot live on fundamentalist ideology alone...

The families of the 10 new hostages should sue Italy. Their actions(paying ransom) was a major reason why more hostages were taken.
