And just what Lebanese forces do they want to withdraw???

If they keep kidnapping other Muslims like this, they're only damaging their own cause...so keep it up guys!!!

Oh, there was a Syrian kidnapped too! Next it will be Iranians and then Saudis! Somehow, I'm not really giving a damn here....

Horrible as the subject usually is we are rarely told of the numbers of hostages released unharmed.

Apparantly many - the majority - are.

It appears that many of the Muslim hostages are truck drivers. Is it because they are an easy target, or is it something much more sinister? They (the Muslim's) are the only hostages released (with the exception of the Filipinos) unharmed. They are also held hostage for an extended period of time. Because of their Muslim beliefs, it would be easy to brainwash them into beliveing that it is Allah's will that they become actively involved in the Jihad. Once brainwashed and indoctrinated, they are released to go back to their former occupation. However, having been traumitized by being held hostage in a foreign country (Iraq), they return to their own country, which according to AQ is also culpable for helping the "Great Satan (their words, not mine)" which is America. Now AQ has additional martyrs waiting for an order to create havoc and die for the cause. Being truck drivers already, they are not suspected when they take the disastrous cargo and ram it into a highly populated area.
