The only ones who made a big mistake were the two woman the moment they joined their leftist, anti-Christian, anti-Western Culture Gramnscian group and went to Baghdad with their Iraqi companions.
The Italian government is not to blame. The Italian people are not to blame, nor the woman's families are to blame. The women, and the women only are to blame for the whole ordeal.
Expect these two brainwashed imbecils to soon return to Iraq after preaching of their islamist captors' respect and benevolence and of their conversion to islam.
I suppose you are thinking of the woman who was arrested in Afghanistan, and held by the Taliban, she later converted to Islam.
However, I have another article, (will flag you) about a Shia Muslim cleric held by kidnappers in Iraq, and he did not find them nice, warm or sympathetic at all - possibly because they were his fellow Muslims, but of the Sunni sect. They sounded like cruel people who were after money.
