Please free these peace activists. They were in your country to help your people free themselves from the American occupation. Without people like these who are willing to risk their lives to promote, peqace and justice you will not have a chance and the world will not stand by you. If they are harmed the world will see that you do not even support or care about your own people or nation.
We are a lay, Catholic nonviolent community, founded in 1982, dedicated to nonviolence. We are offering a special service tonight at our community to remember our kidnapped brothers as we petition the churchwomen of El Salvador on the 25th anniversary of their assassination.
Please do not further the madness of our times with yet more blood. To lower the sword of anger, in a noble fashion, brings everyone one step closer to Peace.
May Blessings be upon You.
These individuals were serving the Iraqi people and promoting peace in the Middle East. They do not support the invasion of Iraq
and should not be held responsible for the actions of the US occupation. Please release these peace activists, so they may continue their peaceful work.
As a professor of peace studies at Earlham College, I have deep respect for the work of CPT. They are committed to nonviolence, and are part of the hope for a world in which peace with justice is the norm for everyone.
Holding innocent people hostage is evil. If any Muslim knows of the hostage takers they inform an Alim to give them the correct information on Islamic ethics.
In any case there is no justification for taking human life in faith.
Please release these innocent people whose only crime was to show solidarity with suffering people of the Arab world at the hand of the American occupier.
Assalamu alaykum, Capturing non-combatants is bad enough, threatening to kill them is just ridiculous. These people at the very least mean the Iraqi people no ill will, at the very best, are sincerely trying to help. Their lives are not yours to play with, may God guide us all.
Having worked with CPT in northern Ontario and having visited CPT workers (as a family) in New Brunswick and Chiapas, we know of the program and dedication to peace and justice embodied in the four gentlemen taken recently. Our family joins in the call to release them immediately so they and their collegues can continue to do their good work of restoring peace and dignity to this world. Blessings.
You couldnt have chosen a more deplorable action for furthering your cause. Youre Bush's wish answered for turning public opinion against the resistance!
Please releae these
persons. They oppose the polocies of the Bush junta --the invasion and occupation of Iraq as do those of us siging this letter. They are in Iraq to expose the crimes committed by the American imperialists.They took a risk because as people of Christian faith they felt it was horribly wrong wrong what was being done to people of another faith who shared the same scriptures.
The worship the same God as you do--not the god of George Bush--the god of power and money. In the4 name of Abraham, Jesus and Mohammed please allow these prophets to go free and continue their mission of peace.
Salam Alaikum.These four people are actually trying to help the Iraqis win their freedom from the brutal US occupation. I prey to Allah that their abductors realize this and free them for their own sake.
I am writing on behalf of James, Tom, Harmeet and Norman. I am asking for their release. the CPT people are courageous nonviolent peacemakers. The work they do around the world is directed toward justice and the end of exploitation and violence.
No one should die before his time...BUT someone who lives to help others is needed by this sorrowful planet. Please let them go...to get on with their work.
