Aug. 14, 2006, 1:10 a.m.Again, murderous muslims who care nothing of innocent civilian lives. If all these lowlife scums think about
is life in heaven after death then lets kill them all now
and save more lives. Muslims are screwed up people with
no real concept of human emotions. The women are respected third after the family goat and dog and if they have children, she is behind them. And what is so stupid, the women love it and continue to put up with it. Equality in the muslim sect, hah, that's a joke. Boy has this mohammad guy pulled the wool over there eyes. The sect was created to make men the masters and keep women the slaves, period. When you see pictures of these muslims praying in a mosque, all on their knees, bowing up and down, and mumbling jibberish, ask yourself... DO YOU SEE ANY WOMEN IN THERE PRAYING ALONG SIDE THE MEN....hell no! My point is made. It is an evil religion and death means nothing to them, theirs or yours.

Aug. 14, 2006, 3:44 a.m.F*** politics. Nuke them. Thats what i would do and yes i would never be president. But bush needs to stop being a bush and do something dramatic. Just nuke the problem spots in the country and then rebuild it. he cant be reelected anyways... so he might as well do something for the better for mankind for once.

Aug. 14, 2006, 2:22 p.m.Fabienne, what I said was true and factual. One religion, one mind. The religion was created to subvert women, which these women gladly go along with, ie, brainless sheep. Now these muslim scumbags living in England are
blaming the Govt for all the terrorist goingons. Let's see, were the bombings in Spain that killed over 200 innocent people right before the elections the fault of the English Govt? Were the bombings in Bali that killed innocent people, the fault of the English Govt? Etc, etc.
If you want the religion to be separate from the extremists, then these brainless sheep people need to start showing the world they actually condemn violence and start protests in the streets against it. But this will never happened because they will never speak up against their own kind. One mind, a billion and a half of murderers.

Aug. 14, 2006, 3:17 p.m.I agree that her arse shouldn't have been there in the first place! If you can't protect yourself, then you got no business being there. She probably didn't have a knife, mace, bat or any weapon. Idiot chick!

Aug. 14, 2006, 3:29 p.m.And the award for compassion goes to...beefjerky. So does this rule of yours apply to all people who are murdered/kidnapped if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time? It's not like the interpreter was being forced to work with Carroll. It seems like your ridicule would be better focused against the group of people doing the killing.

Aug. 14, 2006, 4:05 p.m.I don't mean to sound uncompassionate but DAYUM! It is a warzone full of fanaticals whom would love to kidnap an American woman - no way in hell I'd be over there without a proportionate amount of protection or firepower and even then you are taking some serious chances.
Way to go Kathy Griffin for gettin' in and out!

Aug. 14, 2006, 4:33 p.m.Thumbs up to her!! She knew the risks, she went in, the unthinkable happened. It is no different than anything we do in life but we don't stop living because of it. She is a reporter and without reporter ( good ones) we may never know the truths we do know. I am glad she is free. I am sure it will change her life for ever. But she was there for the right reasons. To let the rest of know what is going on. So how dair anyone put this woman down for doing her job!! You should be ashamed

Aug. 14, 2006, 4:39 p.m.Right, the blanket statement of "all Muslims" is ludicrous. Absolutes of any nature are inherently a logical fallacy. Except the laws which the Spaghetti Monster has handed down.
ANYWAY, this is the work of immature, jaded, hopeless extremists. Backed in to a corner, lashing out into the darkness... They feel persecuted by us somehow, and saying things like "all Muslims are evil" just adds to the jingoist American culture that is increasingly alienating the rest of the world.
That's my opinion, anyway, I could be wrong.

Aug. 14, 2006, 5 p.m.Not putting her down...I just hate that "Gee I had no idea it could happen" hubris look on her face when asked about her abduction. Poeple out there are crazy (especially in that region).
On the "All Muslims" tip...I know it shouldn't be a blanket statement but it is difficult to see it any other way when the "good ones" don't speak out against the ones whom have hijacked their religion. They need to police their own so we don't have to! I tell ya right now, I called my cousins in Louisiana and cussed them out for looking ignorant on the tv crying to the government after Katrina. I policed my respective ilk...so now what up Muslims?

Aug. 14, 2006, 10:40 p.m.Hey "scorpioment" of course there is no women praying with men in the mosqu they have their own one next to the mosque and islam told us we have to do that, you know we are busy mentioning GOD names and good things to say in our mind instead like you in church dancing and looking at there alomst naked asses you corupted people, but hey what can we do the devil succeeded, the religion here almost feels like doesn't exit and that what the devil realy wants, talking about freedom and liberty yah sure, destroying families under the women rights and freedom of doing anything and because of that they alowed same sex marriage so is that ok in your bible ha dumass and whats next father and duaghter marriage this is a corrupted nation and its against everything GOD say in any religion, so before u say something u dont know what the ****** your talking about make sure u pull ur face out of your ass.
