As … Appeals Intensify for Reporter’s Release | csmonitor.com

Some of the Arab world’s most influential Muslim leaders, as well as human rights groups and politicians, are calling for the release of Ms. Carroll, whose captors have threatened to kill her if all women prisoners in coalition custody in Iraq are not released.

This is certainly a harbinger for hope in the Muslim world, when members of Islam can see the injustice of the threatened murder of an innocent young woman, and they have courage enough to condemn it. Even today, finally, after the date of her execution has passed, CAIR has come down on the side of Jill Carroll as an American reporter who was only doing her job and does not deserve to be kidnapped and killed. The headline in Ajazeero blazes that the American Muslim organization, CAIR, has dispatched a delegation to secure Carroll’s release. That seems good news, as CAIR, specialists in the art of “PR”, probably know from their nefarious connections with the Islamist world that Jill Carroll is still unharmed. Pray that it is so, and pray for her family who love her and long for her safe return.
