Who is paying for these foreign workers anyways? Who is rewarding and paying for the contracts of these companies?

I think these companies should hire some Iraqis. Are they not hiring any of them? Are these companies going to trust their equipment and services to random Iraqis?

They should try to hire some Iraqis, but that doesn't mean that some Muslim extremists should run around and kill foreigners.


The reconstruction is being paid for with a lot of Iraqi Citizens OIL and some US $$$. It doesn't mean that innocent workers should be killed - correct.. but it also doesn't help the Iraq economy as much as it does the economy of that where the workers came from.

I agree, they should hire some Iraqis. Any reason why they are not? One would assume that it would also be cheaper. Perhaps they have security or experience concerns? But then I can't understand why 12 random laborers from Nepal were hired over 12 random Iraqis.

They are not "Muslim extremists". They are common Iraqis. Almost all of the hostage takers have demanded that the firm representing the hostages should withdraw from Iraq. How is that "Muslim extremism"? The only case of acting out in terms of religion is the case of the French kidnapping. Even that seems very weird, and the reporter on BBC also sounded perplexed at this change of tactics.

Sultan I'm not sure if these guys are Iraqis, from their arabic accent they sound more jordanian.

Those who are there should leave and wait to be invited and those who are thinking of going there should also wait to be invited.

No, I am not implying as such. As I said there is no legal document signed by 23 million Iraqis to satisfy your want of proof. You will not have an understanding based on an Iraqi's opinion, I cannot provide you with a "smoking gun".

I'm not asking for a legal document saying that all 23 million Iraqis want all foreigners out.

Again, unless you are saying that the actions of what I believe is a smaller minority of extremists is actually the actions of the entire people as a whole, then what you have stated means nothing. In addition, it doesn't matter. Mob rule is not always right.

As far as I can see, these people did have business in Iraq.

The actions of the minority should serve as a warning for those wanting to risk their lives. Mob rule is not always right. Tell that to our government, and the British government and the Aussie government.

As I have already stated, the people who have been killed have mostly been truckers and hired help from outside of the country. No reports of foreigners with established business being killed has come out.

How are they Muslim extremists? Dont just dish out a statement without cause. Just goes on to show your anti-Islamic feelings. Atleast TRY to hide it :)

If you're going to use the actions of the minority as a warning, then that's a hell of a lot of warnings.

Nick Berg was killed and he was not a truck driver.

They are Muslim. They are extremists. Many of them use religion as part of their justification.

Try to hide your anti non-Islamic feelings. It's obvious that you show no compassion to these people because they aren't Muslim. I would ask you to try to hide it, but we all know that it is impossible to ask that of you.

Nick Berg... interesting you should bring him up... wasnt his death extreeeemely suspicious? He was arrested, then let go, then found dead in his prison clothes and all? Anyways, irrelevant to this topic.

Stop being anti-Iraqi. Common, normal Iraqis do not behead people. They are extremists, Muslim extremists or not.

I have no compassion for even the Pakistani Muslims killed by the hostage takers. Does that also make me an anti non-Islamic as well? :)

I believe that they bring in religion into their statements and use it as part of the justification for their demands and actions. Why else would some of these videos and statements be posted in extremist Islamic websites? In addition, this is my description of these people.

It doesn't matter what you say now. We all know that you're anti non-Islamic.

Oh, you believe... I see... did the Oracle tell you this? Or do you carefully listen to the demands of these hostage takers. What do they say? Allah commands you to do this, otherwise Allah commands me to kill this man in the name of Islam? :p

Good for you to know something I never knew.

No, it's common sense. You want to completely ignore the motivation or reasons. I don't.

They have made references in their statements, videos and statements released on extremist Islamic websites, recent history, links to other religious extremist groups and so forth. I believe that is enough. If that makes you angry, then too bad.

Pick up the newspaper. Read up on the subject.

Some of these groups have stated their religious intent in their statements, they are linked to other groups with religious intent, release their statemetns and videos on religious extremist websites, recent history, and so on.

Common sense says that with all of the above as well as statements saying that this was done because the US and its allies are attacking Islam and Muslims, then it seems fine to label these people are Muslim extremists.

Yes, these people probably do want foreigners out - probably because of religious reasons.
