On the kidnapping front...

The Muslims are so busy kidnapping people and taking them hostage you practically need a scorecard to keep up. I almost missed this one. Another Gaza Christian kidnapped by Muslims.
Guess who? Jimmy Carter's headband buddies, Hamas.

Not a kidnapping but a 1986 killing that has now been linked to Your Black Muslim Bakery gang, an American group of Islamic thugs responsible for killing a reporter who was investigating them.

In the Philippines, 6 workers were abducted by an al-Qaeda linked group. Abu-Sayyaf are rumored to be the culprits. The US State Department has issued a travel warning there, btw.

Here's one for you from Pakistan. Whatever you do, Don't call the Religion of Peaceful Lawyers. First, they kidnap a pro-Musharraf government official hostage, then they beat him up and then 7 people die in street riots - all in short order. The government official has since been released and he is shaken but unharmed. The lawyers are still fighting in the streets.

The latest on the Le Ponant: Contact has been made and talks are ongoing. The only other news is about the 'high tech' Somali Marines and their satellite telephones and rocket launchers.

And about the Austrian Hostages. Let's hope no news is good news, because there's really no new news. And there's also no further news on the kidnapped CBS journalist in Iraq or the Pakistani ambassador kidnapped at the Afghan border.

Bonus Religion of Peace and Tolerance news...a Palestinian newspaper reported last week that Muslims in the Samarian town of Nablus had vandalized a local Christian cemetery, smashing many of the tombstones.
