Support from around the world

Unfortunately there is still no news on our kidnapped friends, who were taken ten days ago. However support for them continues to flood in from all over the world. Un Ponte Per has recieved many dozens of statements of support from groups all over the Islamic world. One person reminds us of an important principle in the Holy Qu'ran:
  • "O you who believe! When you go forward (to fight) in the way of Allah, be careful to discriminate, and say not unto one who offers you peace: "You are not a believer." (An-Nisa': 94)

Support has come, among others, from:

Basrah University
September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows
The Palestinian Peace Centre
Gaza Community Mental Health Programme
Japanese Campaign for the Abolition Depleted Uranium Weapons
The World Tribunal on Iraq
German Free Iraq Solidarity Committee
SOS Iraq (Belgium)

Noam Chomsky
Naomi Klein
Tariq Ali
Tony Benn
Dick Eastman, 9/11 investigator critical of Bush
Chiyomi Kobayashi, Japanese Representative working for removal of Japan force from Iraq.
Ismaeel Dawood, Iraqi Human rights activeist
