Barghouti: Release kidnapped BBC reporter

Barghouti, who serving multiple life terms in prison for involvement in attacks that killed Israeli civilians, says that the kidnappers of Alan Johnston has not chosen their target well: he's on their side.

From AFP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

Jailed Tanzim head Marwan Barghouti called for the release of kidnapped BBC reporter Alan Johnston, who was abducted by gunmen in the Gaza Strip over a month ago. “I call for the immediate release of the journalist in the name of 10,000 Palestinian prisoners. Johnston is a friend of the Palestinian people,” Barghouti said.

Alan Johnston is an infidel, so therefore he is not to be trusted by muslims, but then like so many reporters from BBC he his a dhimmi. l say keep the
reporter, one less walking around the Gaza is one less lier reporting

Marwan Barghouti has been referred to by more radical Muslims as not being "muslim enough"....although he has participated in attacks on Israel, he has advocated not attacking Israeli civilians beyond the Green Line.....

..be that as it may, a murdering terrorist claiming a western reporter "is on our side" says a lot....

Is Johnston thought to be alive at this point?

I read on the BBC, not long after he was 'taken', his family and friends telling us how he had really wanted to go to Gaza, how important it was to him to 'tell the Palestinian story', so he lived full time in Gaza.

I remember thinking, shouldn't opinions like those specifically disqualify him from being a news journalist there? Apparently not for the BBC.

Anyway, perhaps he has a real 'Palestinian story' to tell now, if he' still alive.

If he isn't, the BBC will certainly find a way to blame Israel.

At this point, I couldn't care less if he is dead or alive. I have the same level of sympathy for him as I have for the drunken fool who dies at the zoo after deciding it would be fun to climb into the orangutan cage.

After all this the media still doesn't realize their just a tool for the jihadis?

does this mean the reported is embedded with the terrorists?...

Well, I guess if we had any doubts about Johnston's allegiances, Barghouti has laid that to rest.

As if we needed any confirmation that ANY media or thier reporters are on thier side.

This Kidnapped fellow is probably helping his "captors" in any way he can....abligingly.

Like i always say NO REPRESENTATION is to be found.

No vote of confidence to any from me.It's all just filler for the time being.

True Heroes are you paying attention?

Can somebody explain to me how a lifer issues press releases? You don't see that sort of thing here in the states. Should we give Manson a press agent?

off topic, but....In America, things seem to happen that defy logic...

...In Atlanta, a black ghetto (hate the system, hate whitey) rapper (T.I. born clifford harris)was in the Fulton County Jail for a number of charges...somehow he arranged to be freed from his jail cell and was able to record a music video inside the jail....

...what an insult to the taxpayers and those trying to live a crime free life....

.....back to Islam....sometimes it seems the media is doing all it can to sabatoge freedom...really..

You reap what you sow BBC Dhimmis. I only hope next time its a 'Guardian' or 'Independent' Journalist.

God I hate The British media.

Funny but the first video that came out of VT also had the same last name saw it on wolfie??

The interview was very intersting yea I believe he said he had also been in SA when another bomb went off??

I think wolfie had said he came from a very important family in the PAT yes pallywood in??

After all didn't mecca used to be ismail's place??

Think I read about it somewhere??


Again Samuel Adams is apropos:

"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your consul, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget ye were our countrymen."

Alavi was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on April 9 when he returned from Iran to join his wife, who arrived in the United States two weeks earlier to give birth to their child.

Check out this rat bastard hedging his bets by sending his wife here to have her child. To ensure his kid has American citizenship. I feel like puking. Anchor babies need to be stopped now.

Use the infidels. Parasitize upon the infidels. That's the Muslim code of dishonor
