Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody. - Kahlil Gibran
I hope and pray that those four individuals will come out of their ordeal safely and that their agenda of peace will eventually triumph in this country that has witnessed so much pain and suffering.
As both a member of CPT and Canadian Friends of Sabeel I urge the group holding the CPT hostages to release them immediately. Why would you harm a friend?
David A Janzen
My heart is breaking at the awful injustice and murderous behavior of my government. I beg you to please not hurt the the peaceworkers. We are all children of God. PEACE BE UPON YOU.
I have meet CPT members in Haiti, Hebron/Al Khalid, and Chiapas. No one, no group, is doing more and risking more for peace. The people of Iraq know CPT has been one of their best friends. The abductors have good reasons to be angery at what has ben done to the Iraqi people but CPT members have been one of the best sources of information about the suffering of the Iraqi people for people in the West.
