Daniel Pearl was jewish. He was dead the moment they took him.
The disdain for Christians certain freepers have is amazing.
You're the one who brought up Christ. Interesting.
I brought up CHRISTIAN COMPASSION. Something sorely lacking from most on this thread.
No, actually you posted the following:
**I bet you call yourself a Christian.

Your comment was snarky.
That's what I said...You call yourself a CHRISTIAN...I didn't say, YOU CALL YOURSELF CHRIST, did I??? You know exactly what I mean and I'll say it again. Those here who believe this woman deserved to be kidnapped and fear for her life for months are not very CHRIST LIKE....
Are you absolutely certain the freeper who made the original comment is even indeed a Christian? Or are you assuming it to be so in order to sneer.
Furthermore, why should you even be concerned if people are or are not exhibiting Christ-like behavior if you yourself are not a Christian?
We all know what CHRISTIAN COMPASSION MEANS. You're reading things that aren't there....stop being so angry about everything.
Yep.....Snarky. Snarky, uncalled for, and out of line. Also, in trying to wriggle free of the obvious blunder, has failed to address the reason for the original comment. Now blaming some of us for a lack of "Christian Compassion". Just goes to show, even those who hate Christians wish everyone but themselves would display Christian virtue and values.
I'm not angry, Hildy. I'm just pointing out the obvious insinuation you shared in that post.
I tend to agree.
Here we go again.. I DON'T HATE CHRISTIANS...where on Earth can you translate ANYTHING I said into something as ridiculous as that. I said those who are willing to comdemn this woman are showing little CHRISTIAN COMPASSION. Why don't you debate that statement instead of trying to convince yourself I'm a Christian Hater....you're just changing the subject, can't you see that?
The ONLY insinuation was that some people here were not showing any Christian Compassion. And it wasn't really an insinuation..it was a statement and I stand by it.
Yes she did, in Jordan, wearing a hijab and abaya. She called herself Zaineb before she ever set foot in Iraq. The story goes that she already converted in Jordan, but didn't go public with it because of her association with the CSM (conflict of interest).
I bet you call yourself a Christian.
Your words, not mine. I think most people would deduce that you had a beef with Christians based on your first post. Maybe not hate, how about "seriously dislike"
This insane person would like to explain to you that Jill Carroll went into Iraq specifically to write about the “atrocities” American soldiers were committing against “innocent” Iraqis. As a wife of a soldier who’s husband spent 16 months in Iraq, I take her actions as an act of treason and a personal attack on my husband and the military’s character and reputation. She took a stand against the United States and our military, and helped to fan flames and incite anger.
Let me spell it out for you. That kind of action helps get people like my husband killed.
That said, this insane person has zero sympathy for Jill Carroll and whatever discomfort she may, or may not have been put through. As far as I’m concerned, if she spent three months being frightened and scare for her life (even though they were nice to her sometimes and fed her nice meals here and there) then she got her comeuppance.
Maybe, by some miracle this experience, if not embellished, will give her newfound respect for our country.
Are you referring to her articles in the Christian Science Monitor, or the propaganda videos she was forced to make and disavowed after her release, or some unconfirmed rumors from anonymous sources?
I haven't seen anything in her CSM reports that would substantiate that allegation yet, so please help us out and provide a link to verify the claims.
Please back up your claim that she went there to investigate "attrocities." Even if she did that, that is a job that an objective journalist is supposed to do. I respect your husband's service, but I don't believe he was fighting in order to brand those American citizens as "traitors" who are simply doing that which is expected in a free society.
And, thus, I stand by my earlier post. If you think (and apparently you do) that she deserved what she got, then yes, you are at least temporarily insane, blinded by hate.
For all you know, he could be jewish.
