Families call for Taliban to release hostages - 26-July-2007

[mahender6969]

amazing how they play the victim,, but for them it o k to the same to buddhas.

[PengQishang]

Why the fathers smiling...

[jojoinhere]

abraham would sacrifice his kid for god, you should too!

[IceBarragex]

@jojoinhere Taliban's aren't God.

[canadianroot]

there are more missionaries from korea than any other country except one. surely you can guess. in seoul, you see nutbars running thru the subway cars shouting hallelujah almost daily, waving their bibles and shouting. little wonder that these brainwashed idiots thought they were doing good when they invaded another people's religion.

[kermdakusset]

I am Afghan and i would say thankz to all Coreans worker in Afghanistan and i am very happy that they are released

[janejoyce4]

May the Taliban realize that the rest of the world including every religious body has condemned their violent actions towards humanity. If they do not let the rest of the hostages go free, things will become much more ugly for them...

[blu3sky88]

father lord just please help these korean people. These people had come on a mission for you. I know jesus they to afghaistan for a reason they went to expand the christan's in the world, but it seemed that they have been hostaged. Jesus just please help these 23 people to get out safely back to korea, jesus i can trust you! you are the way truth and the life. These people need your help they are counting on your jesus. Jesus i know they will be free soon i belive in jesus name AMEN.

[leesunlay]

stupid koreans..diggin ur own grave by going there and christianised others .. absolute genuine moron!

[vveinee]

Taliban, release the hostages, do it for the sake of nobody but yourself.

[touyanyan]

This is killed the South Korean and is natural.

Reflect on the South Korean who did the act of trampling down Islamic

culture.

[levin81]

what the terrorist want is to make u fear them so they can do anything they want from u. ur way of life in korea can also be affected if terrorist bomb ur country. Look at north korea and south korea, north korea is so poor and south korea is richer. USA had save south korea from communism and nw it is asking u to help them fight war on terror. South korea would have been under communist rule if usa never help.

[levin81]

It is very hard for the afghan govt to release the prisoners in exchange for the hostages. i believe the afghan govt is nw trying to track their whereabouts and save them away from the terrorist.

[Omnious24]

Don't listen to him he is a liar and a troll. The Koreans don't even speak the language. They were there just to help the people.

[levin81]

When a father teach his son that killing men is good, the son will think it is natural to kill a men. These people be it koreans or talibans do what they think is right. In ur eyes u might see it is wrong but in their view they are right. The koreans never expect themselves to be hold as hostages anyway.

[kuihmuih]

all the mothers words totally not true,,actually their sons n daughter came to Afghan to teach Christianity to Afghan people,,,actly,,all the koreans deserved to die,,

[levin81]

Talking about god? what god had done to help them? 2 koreans had been killed already and god still never use his power to help them. Christians, Muslims and Jews all believe in the same highest god but fighting each other also in the name of the same highest god. Brothers fight Brothers! It is like a family, the father had 3 sons but all had different character. These 3 brothers were still born by the father and still a family.

[koreantiger3000]

god bless them all.

[ProudofPRC]

I really do not understand u Koreans. Thousands of Korean girls are trafficked into the USA as sex slaves every year. They are all captives too. I don't see you guys blessing them all.

It seems to be "ok" if I asked my Korean American friend to kill a bunch of South Korean citizens.

However, if I as a Chinese hit 1. Your government will probably call me a terrorist and attack me.

[Omnious24]

Idiot, there are no Korean sex slaves being brought into the US. Total lie. There real truth is they are in southern China being abused by the Chinese. Mostly North Koreans who managed to escape.

[timkim3]

wtf is wrong with those talabans?

[Congo4life]

wow atleast kidnap americans , why kidnap people who have nothing to do with the war

[jesusfukinchrist73]

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) The Society of Jesus is the most dangerous of orders, and has done more mischief than all the others.

[killerMouse007]

wow you read too much history you moron ...!!

[jesusfukinchrist73]

What you gona do if I don't..

[limzhongyi]

Dude shut your mouth don't blasphemy

[jesusfukinchrist73]

i wonder where is their God??? They tell other people that God came to save.If there is God so he is impotent,powerless,wicked.

[rameyko]

I'm so proud of Melissa. She is awesome.

[ldykenichi]

thanks, she's my older sis (:

[shinhwa6baby]

america's not involved in this? think again. this happend because america captured taliban's people and they're doing this to korea cause its the only way they can think of to get their people back. so don't be saying america's not involved in this.

[ldykenichi]

well if u looked at the aljazeera website, the US are still not involved -- the south koreans are BEGGING them to get involved now! you think the US is the only enemy of the taliban? "think again." the taliban arent doing this to south korea because they're friends with the US, they captured these foreigners because they have been urging THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT to free THEIR TALIBAN people. its a war between two groups of the same country. damn, just go read aljazeera

[brick4sale]

I didn't say it was, jeez I just said that they were seperate from the government.

[Inkan1969]

Hooray for your sister.  Good job

[Fixhist]

Hope Afghans will be kind to these detainees and will forgive them on promise that, they will not do any blasphemous teachings in Afghanistan.

[Fixhist]

This was not a good time for these youngsters to go to Afghanistan, had they not been in custody they might already have been caught in crossfire.

Afghanis are suffering due to Extra judicial killings, there is no mercy on them, it will be too much to ask for the same from them.

I recall two American girls (teachers) went through detention before Afghan War.

[Fixhist]

Afghans are brave people and often tend to forgive than take revenge from enemies,

yet these detainees are non warriors, expect total 40 Days detention and conversion to Islam before release.

[brick4sale]

Yes it was stupid for them to go.

[brick4sale]

These were not soldiers these were missionaries independent of the government.

[brick4sale]

What! So let me get this straight, the Taliban that killed their own people, are victims, and because of this war, they must brutally kill non-Muslims. You are like the other vile person who commented on killing all of the hostages. To justify these barbaric people by that I mean the Taliban is justify the slaughter of innocent foreigners and locals alike.

[brick4sale]

The Taliban are some of the most heartless barbaric killers, they will behead a woman, child, it does not matter to them. They blend tribal warfare and Islam its vile may they burn in hell.

[richardman102]

flyingphtm is an open mind person,he/she said either a soldier or aspy, that is it

[richardman102]

who invited them to come afghanstan,

is afghanstan their land,the people of afghan did not alow them to come there but us/uk invited them, so let the us/uk release them,the friend of my enemy is my enemy,no way to come afghanstan

[Omnious24]

They could not have been there without the consent of the Afghan government. I'm sure they were welcomed warmly as guests and people like them with medical training are desperately needed.

[SultanBorat]

>The country is at war and i dont understand how stupid could one trust going in there and feel at home?

SEND BUSH TO THE HAIG SOON<

Sorry Id send him to Iraq receive trial like Saddam and get Donald Rumfeild ,Karl Rove ,Wolfiwitz, Scooter Libby,Pentagon chief. All to be bagged in Baghdad!

[itcantbeso]

South Korea should go with their demands, problem is they don't know who is in charge,as the hostages are not all in the same location.

[aohus]

yay for aljazeera for actually discussing the 23 hostages held in afghanistan. i have to search extensively to find anything to deal with the hostage crisis in the american media. keep it up aljazeera, just do not be a propaganda piece for any side!

[kassel112]

all taleban cowards shall burn in hell!

[nabenda123]

The country is at war and i dont understand how stupid could one trust going in there and feel at home?

SEND BUSH TO THE HAIG SOON

[Inkan1969]

The Kabul-Kandahar road is the most dangerous road in Afghanistan; any experienced traveller would tell you that. How could these 23 people make such a stupid decision to travel this road. And now the Foreign Ministry says that NO FOREIGNER will be allowed to travel on ANY road without armed guard. These idiots have ruined it for a lot of people. :-(

[tmgebomb]

??? smart comment, moron. i'm sure the first thing on their minds was that they'd "ruin it for everyone else" if they get kidnapped by the taliban. real smart

[Inkan1969]

It SHOULD'VE been the first thing on their minds, jerk. Instead, they made a very stupid decision to travel that road, and now they've made life a lot more difficult for the people that work and travel in Afghanistan.

[sonofburma]

You can see many pro-terrorists (e.g, InnocentSinnerDesi) on YouTube. Pls forward this clip to them. AlJazeera rocks!
