'Peace Activist' an oxymoron -Muslims killers pitied -U.S. blamed .

Reader comment on item: Christian Peacemaker Teams: Blame Bush, not Islamists

An article noted that:

"...A group of Quakers sat in silence as they done every week since Tom Fox was taken hostage in Iraq last year, but on Saturday they prayed not for him, but his killers..."

Judging from the murdered man's activities in the West Bank, which included standing up against Israelis and tanks, the righteous forebearence shown by the 'peace activists' would have turned to outrage and demands for accountability and the prosecution of those involved had the execution and torture been the work of non Muslims..
