A new video from the Taliban features Canadian Joshua Boyle and his American wife Caitlan Coleman, who were kidnapped while hiking through Afghanistan in 2012.My children have seen their mother defiled, she added ominously, as the children sat in Boyles lap. Also ominous: she referred to the boys as her surviving children.
They want money, power, friends. You must give them these things before progress can be made, she said of her captors in the Haqqani Network, a notorious hostage-taking criminal gang allied with the Taliban. Reuters explains that the friends she referred to are three senior Haqqani members held by the Afghan government.

It reminds me of Germans who go off to Yemen and are shocked when bandits come up to capture them for ransom.
I would not even go to Mexico — who would think of going to Afghanistan for fun? Does the word fun even come into your mind when you think Afghanistan????
Call me an a$$hole if you want, got no sympathy for the kids. She was 7 months pregnant when the went on their moronic hike in A’stan. By now, both those kids are being schooled by the taliban or haqqani to be good little terrorist. Like I said earlier, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. We, nor the Canucks, should lift a finger to help those morons.
If they are ever repatriated, Boyle and Coleman need to be tried for child abuse of the worst kind.
Well a while ago there were three idiots captured hiking in Iran. We never seem to run out of these knuckleheads.
That's "victim shaming". When the female runners in my club were cautioned to not run alone at night after a spate of attacks, guess who they got mad at? The attackers? NOPE! The club coach giving the advice!
Sigh. Hiking through Afghanistan.
You can’t make this up.
One can just imagine these two liberal Canadians saying to people telling them they shouldn’t go: “Hey, we sympathize with them. We are their friends. They won’t hurt us.”
Frikking liberals.
You have a point, however, with the MSM and even a Republican president saying that Islam is a religion of peace, they certainly got the wrong message. These are savages who worship a savage god (not God) and follow a deranged prophet.
Sure do sound like liberals.
If you want to befriend muslims, go to a US college campus. It’s closer, safer for you children.
I have met people like this before. These are the same types of people who will rent an apartment in a part of a city they have no business being in.
Their rationale is that since they mean no harm to the people who live in that area, hate them, and want them dead, then they will be safe. They want to show the dangerous people that there are white people who care for them, who aren’t their enemies, and to demonstrate that people with good intentions can live side by side in peace.
Unbelievable, but true. Don’t know if that is the case here, but it sure sounds like it.
>>They are casualties of a politically correct media, like normal people killed in American cities because the mayhem and murder there is swept under the carpet.
While I agree with your statement, it goes well beyond the media. I’ve been saying for a long time that Dubya set us back 25 years in properly addressing the issue of Islam with his “peaceful friendly religion” nonsense immediately post-9/11.
There is no cure for stupid...
Well, yes there is, but you don’t survive it.
Regards,
Lived my nearly 60 years around people like that here in New York City. Even when they got mugged, or had their apartments burglarized, they don't blame the perps. They're incomprehensibly naive.
You and I are on the same page; see my previous.
You know just the kind I am referring to, then. It makes you realize anew just how deranged and detached from reality liberals can be.
Thought so. What a dope.
Before they were captured, I'll bet they could sing all the stanzas of "We are the World".
