Know your enemy. You have the wrong people. These people are committed to non-violence and are against the occupation of Iraq and Palestine. Set them free.
God is all-compassionate. Through our own acts of compassion, God is all-compassionate. Through acts of compassion, we honor God. I pray for an immediate end to the American occupation of Iraq. I pray for the safety of the captors as well as the hostages.
Friends, this is not a Christian Muslim war. This is a Capitalist oil war to steal the blood from our common mother earth. I am not a Christian but I know many Christians opposed to the illegal imperialist invasion of Iraq. Please release these people. If you do this you will help them understand that peace will only come when the invaders are made to withdraw from Iraq.
Search your feelings and the truth will be revealed as will be the right course of action.
Matthew
I am not a Christian, and I do not know the activists myself. However, I am in awe of the courage and dedication of some members of the C.P.T. I have no doubt that they are being kept from badly-needed charitalbe work. I urge the authorities to release them.
Please free the hostages. They represent the collective voice of the millions of people of this world who did not support the criminal invasion and barbaric occupation of Iraq.
These people are not your enemies. As willing as they are to give their lives out of love for the Iraqi people, harming them in any way will cause the wrong message to again be disseminated about the struggle in Iraq.
As a former political prisoner, I can attest that although taking hostages in general is wrong, taking these four friends of the Iraqi people hostage is even more wrong.
