Baghad — Iraq's largest Sunni Muslim party called Saturday for the release of Western hostages in Iraq, saying such kidnappings tarnish the image of Islam and will have negative effect on those who call for ending the U.S. military presence. The Iraqi Islamic party cited the four members of the Chicago-based Christian Peacemaker Teams — two Canadians, a Briton and an American — who were taken hostage in Baghdad on Nov. 26. The kidnappers have threatened to kill them on Thursday if Iraqi prisoners are not released from American and Iraqi jails.

Not only is this *********SUNNI************ party calling for the release of prisoners, but these prisoners are ***********CHRISTIAN*************.

That's score two in favor of our winning, and two against these three various groups. Liberals, terrorists, and the press.

[Right Wing Assault]

This smells funny to me. I bet they release them and then say, "We are doing this in good faith to show our good intentions. We only want peace. Now we ask the Americans to do the same and leave Iraq right now so we can have peace and a stop to the killing." Mark the tape.

Of course if we don't, then the world will call us the bad guys. The Muzzles are very good at PR. Just like the local CAIR groups.

Just because they were anti-war activists doesn't necessarily mean much.

Being anti-war by nature they are going to be anti-terror.(terrorism creates wars)

Besides, got a link? I'm curious.

Sunni or later Shitte happens

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Very creative, poetic response!!!!

[MarMema]

"We are distressed that those who have taken our friends, Harmeet, Tom, Norman and Jim, could try and bargain with their lives and we want to understand why they would do such a thing. The taking of lives in any circumstance is against every thing we stand for. Please, whoever is holding them, release them all unharmed. Their families are very worried about them and we want their safe return home. We fear that whoever is holding them has made a mistake. These four men are peacemakers, not spies. CPT has consistently opposed the war and the continuing presence of multinational forces in Iraq."

Years ago I faced this dilemma while watching chechen videos of beheadings and torture of Russian soldiers and many international civilians, including children. The chechens were especially fond of sawing off fingers of kidnapped children on videotape.

I suggest to this group that evil does exist and it is truly evil. I wonder if they will ever get it?

[Prime Choice]

The only reason they're calling for the release of these "prisoners" is because they finally realize that these are "peace activists" who are on their side, not ours.

[Soul Seeker]

Real Islamofascists do not release hostages unless a) It's a stunt b) they get something out of it. Money. Land. Weapons. Something valuable to them.

This may be genuine by this Sunni group, or they may be involved in it.

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

Yeah, I figured the christian group was a bunch of leftists.

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

That may very well be, but the fact taht they're calling for the release of the prisoners is still a big deal.

Unless it becomes something like the saudis where they are always talking out of both sides of their mouths......

[goldstategop]

The Sunnis are realizing the wrong people were kidnapped. Its dawned on them Western Leftists could be useful idiots for the Islamofascist cause.

You're fooling yourself. The Islamofascists know a good propaganda tool when they see one.
