These people are innocent civilians who have willingly stayed in Iraq to help bring peace there. Please do not harm them and release them to their families. They are not your enemy.
Ive been the guest of CPT in 3 different countries and always cherish their noble cause and good hearts. These four are the least deserving people imaginable for such a tragedy.
asallam alaykum
Allahu Al Ali Ar Rahman
and He asks us to be merciful, too. You must surrender to His Mercy and seek His agenda, not your own or others. Allah does not need you to kill anybody, Allah is not a weak god that needs your help. Let them go.
Killing peaceful travellers only serves to strengthen the criminals we have in our White House. You would be doing the cause of George Bush a great service by killing them.
No to tyrants and bullies everywhere. No to Bush, Blair and their lackeys.
No to torture of prisoners everywhere.
And No to hooded anonymous cowards who kill pacifists, anti-war activists and women who have helped their brothers and sisters caught up in the horrors of war.
STOP THIS MADNESS, BUSH BLAIR AND YOU ANONYMOUS ONES.
RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW.
these people love GOD, regardless of religion, nationalty, please allow them (all of them) to continue to serve all of manking. allow them to leave in peace, direct their footsteps back to those who love them, thank you
If you harm the CPT workers you do an injustice to all of humanity while disgracing yourselves. Let us pray for an end to the violence. Free the CPT workers.

Iraq Abductions
Rene Wadlow
Four members of the Christian Peace Teams (CPT) in Iraq have been kidnapped on 28 November 2005 and are being held as this is written, 30 November. Tom Fox, a US Quaker, Norman Kember, an English retired medical professor and peace activist, James Loney, Canadian coordinator for CPT-Canada, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, a young Canadian engineer and educator are being held by (at this stage) unknown persons.
Kidnapping and hostage-taking is unacceptable, no matter the political or economic motivation. In Iraq it has become common practice for political or economic reasons. Most of those abducted are Iraqis. Non-Iraqis, however, are taken because they have additional "publicity value".
Our prayers and meditations can hold all those so held in the Light.
Among the Book Reviews, in the section "Action" there is a review of a recent account of Christian Peacemaker Teams "Getting in the Way" as well as two other reviews on peace teams "Peace Brigades" and "Guide to Peace Teams".
