VIDEO: DEATH TO PEACE ACTIVISTS IF DEMANDS NOT MET

Kidnappers Threaten to Kill Iraq Activists

Dec 02 3:52 PM US/Eastern

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Jazeera television broadcast a videotape Friday in which kidnappers of four Christian peace activists threatened to kill their hostages unless all prisoners in U.S. and Iraqi detention centers are released. The kidnappers gave the two governments until Dec. 8 to meet their demands, Al-Jazeera quoted a statement delivered with the tape as saying.

The tape showed what the broadcaster said were two Canadian hostages. An American and a Briton are also being held. All four appeared frightened.

The Canadians were shown eating from plates of what appeared to be Arabic sweets. In a second clip, the British and American hostages were shown to talking to the camera but no audio was transmitted.

The two were calling on the U.S. and British governments to withdraw from Iraq, Al-Jazeera reported, quoting a statement from the kidnappers, who earlier identified themselves as the Swords of Righteousness Brigade

"The Adopt-a-Detainee Letter-Writing Campaign"


I see, and the terrorists in return created "The Adopt-Christian Peacemaker and cut off their heads Campaign.


Seems prefectly clear. Clear as Middleeast MUD.

My Money says that the activists are in cahoots with the kidnappers and they are going to milk this for all it's worth.

I agree with your uncle. The Islamofacists and the left wing peace activists have the same goal - Death to America.

It makes no sense to me. If they are for peace, then why would the islamofascists want to harm them????

The terrorists claim these people are spys against them.

They either believe that and have no interest to look up who these people are on the Internet or they don't care and want to cut some heads off.

In any case, I hope our military can find them before they are killed.

I don't like the idea of our military personal being placed in danger because of this.
The left wing peace nicks wanted to be close to the Islamofasists, and now they are. It was their death style choice, and everyone else should just stay out of it.

So Al Qaeda will a big show of threatening to execute them and then release them after a suitable interval to heighten the anti-U.S propaganda. They're hoping the libs redouble the pressure on the U.S and British governments and if that doesn't get them what they want they still get political mileage out of it.

I don't think the military are going to throw themselves into some ambush or anything.

I think the terrorists are in some shack or building outside of town and that with satellite, maybe we will track something that could lead the military to investigate.

No one should respond at all.

I humbly disagree.

We should send a contingent of 50 more to peacefull demonstrate in front of their HQ, demanding their release. :)

"I don't think the military are going to throw themselves into some ambush or anything." Would it be beyond these so-called peace activists to help lure US troops into an ambush?

Not at all. I hope our guys are prepared for this possibility, though. Never trust an anti-American lefty, ever. The more American soldiers they can get killed, the better chance they think they'll have to win an election. If over 3,000 American deaths on 9/11 meant nothing to them, then why would they even worry about 3,000 more American deaths if it brings them personal power?

Well, I'll admit to feeling pity for these four. It's a pity that they are learning the hard way that their ideas about peace are full of crap. It's a pity that they refused to listen to reason and chose to follow a pipe-dream to their own destruction.

Can you say "publicity stunt"? I knew you could. Lefty "peace activists" get publicity for their anti-US group and the terrorists get a pay day to buy more bombs to blow up our Marines. It's a win-win for the America-haters.

It's almost competetive now between the libs and the "insurgents". If either of them win we're in big trouble. i hope that we haven't missed our opportunity to make our argument.
