Yhe members of CPT are acting out of Christian principles for the purpose of bringing justice to bear on behalf of the people of Iraq. They should be freed in order to continue with this vital mission.
As a New Zealander I am concerned particularly about the NZ student who is held hostage, and all the members of the peace team. I am opposed to US invasion of Iraq and the suffering of the Iraqi people
Please have mercy on people who are only trying to help your people and ours. Keeping the peace makers hostage will only serve to further justify the US in their presence in Irag.
Show the Bush?Cheney administration that you are a noble people of faith that will be just in letting these people of peace go. Prove to us that you are humane in letting the hostages free.
thank-you.
What our world needs more is love. I am raising my teenage son and he is being affected by all the craziness in the world. Love is the answer, not hate. There is already so much pain in the world. I wish us all strength to be with love and light.
I am so grateful that the deadline, which is really a lifeline, has been extended. I pray for all involved, captor and captive. I pray for peace, in the name of Allah, in the name of our loving God.
I am one of the millions of Americans who despise my country's actions in Iraq, but this taking of hostages is exactly the wrong way to encourage Americans who want the US out of Iraq to have an effective voice in this country. Let them go. In the long run the taking of hostages is counterproductive.
I am sure the US government does plant spies in honest organizations. But they are few and the innocent are many. Please be most careful before judging.
Let there be Peace and Release in the Light. Justice, Forgiveness and Mercy are desperately needed. Hold to your beliefs and seek a common ground of peaceful understanding and love thy enemies.
I pray the peace that lives in the hearts of your captives, the peace that brought them to Iraq to bring peace, may also dwell in your hearts so that you may understand their mission and let them go. Please understand that there are many, many Americans who did not want this war and regret every injury,every death, and every bit of the destruction.
CPT is all about the Greatest Commands...those commanding us to all, regardless. Please affirm lovingkindness in the world by releasing those CPT-ers you have taken.
I have visited this group in Hebron (al-Khalil). They work hard to protect and work with the Palestinian people in that city.
Please release these four. They are your friends!
