Iraq Militant Group Takes 6 New Hostages
Jul 21, 10:44 AM (ET)

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A militant group said Wednesday it had taken two Kenyans, three Indians and an Egyptian hostage and would behead them if their countries did not announce their readiness to withdraw their troops from Iraq immediately.

None of those countries are part of the 160,000-member U.S.-led coalition force in the country.

However the caving in of countries like Phillipines will only encourage more attacks against the far less protected foreign workers. These bastards are insidiously intelligent and sly.

Did I miss something, or did the militant group make a mistake here?

Fanatacism is the mother of all logic.

Hmm, I wonder if things will be seen differently now that the sword of Allah has been turned against fellow Muslims, and not infidels?

Muslims have been killing each other as long as they have been killing Christians. This really changes nothing in the grand scheme of things. It is a farce to think that there is some monolithic Muslim or Arabic brotherhood that spares them from the actions of the terrorists. Quite a few Palestinians over the years have been victims of the brigades and Hezbollah, Iranians and Iraqis slaughtered each other ceaselessly for almost a decade, the list goes on and on.

In the eyes of a fanatic, anyone who is not as zealous as them is an infidel.

But the ones inadvertantly killed in terrorist bombings were hand selected by Allah, and so will recieve their virgins and are considered Martyrs.

That's not a fact, but it seems just moronic enough to be the argument the idiots will use, and just moronic enough so that religious zealots will swallow it hook, line, and Koran.
