Interesting item from the CSM story on Jill Carroll’s family reunion:
Even grimmer topics evoked relief. Jill said her Muslim kidnappers assumed that all American journalists were Jewish. To persuade them that she was Christian, she recited the Lord’s Prayer and shared Christian stories from the Bible. She thanked her mom for her Roman Catholic upbringing. Even after her captors were persuaded that she was Christian, Jill said, they kept trying to convert her.
Someone want to try to tell me again that Daniel Pearl wasn’t killed because he was Jewish?
