Ex-Iraq hostages forgive captors

Three peace campaigners who were taken hostage say they "unconditionally" forgive their Iraqi captors.

Briton Norman Kember and Canadians James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden said they opposed the death penalty for the hostage-takers.

The men said: "We unconditionally forgive our captors for abducting and holding us. We have no desire to punish them. Punishment can never restore what was taken from us."

1. True

There are plenty of true Christians. I find "crusaders" to act, in most cases, in the exact opposite of core Christian beliefs.

5. It takes a special kind of person to be able to get to this point.

It reminds me of the Amish after their school shooting.

May we live to see a day when this level of enlightenment becomes common place.
