Yet Another Middle Eastern Moonbat Snatching: Jill Carroll
Posted by Dave Blount at January 18, 2006 8:21 PM
Kidnapped Islamophiliacs continue to be all the rage in the Middle East. Susanne Osthoff, Kate Burton, the kooks from Christian Peacemaker Teams, and even the parents of Rachel "Roadkill" Corrie are among those who have managed to get themselves abducted by the very terrorist goons with whom they sympathize.
The latest to join this sad list is Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter working for the Christian Science Monitor. The Jordan Sunday Times thinks the terrorists ought to spare her life:
The kidnappers who abducted her could not have chosen a more wrong target. True, Jill is a US citizen. But she is also more critical of US policies towards the Middle East than many Arabs.
Though as a reporter she always complies with the strictest requirements of objectivity and impartiality, Jill has been from day one opposed to the war, to the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
More than just being sympathetic with average Iraqis under war and occupation, Jill is a true believer in Arab causes.
From Arabic food to the Arabic language, Jill has always wanted to know and experience as much as possible about Arab identity, and she is keen on absorbing it, learning, understanding and respecting it.
She doesn't just "like" Arab culture, she loves it.
Isn't it funny how many people of a certain political persuasion have developed an obsessive love for all things Arab since 9/11? I hope Jill gets sprung, so she can tell us all about how humanitarian her captors were. It will be a shame if she ends up like her friend Marla Ruzicka, who was killed by terrorists in Iraq.
