TO JILL CARROLL’S KIDNAPPERS: SHE’S YOUR AND OUR SISTER

TO JILL CARROLL’S KIDNAPPERS: SHE’S YOUR AND OUR SISTER

Here’s a snapshot of the people who read Jill Carroll’s reporting in The Christian Science Monitor (CSM):

When National Coordinator of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, we placed advertisements in various national newspapers, including Ms. Carroll’s paper.

We were pleasantly surprised to receive a good number of gratifying responses. These came almost exclusively from the readers of Jill Carroll’s newspaper. And many of them became paid members. They had concern for all, for Arabs and Muslims, for anyone in need. They hated no one.

And in no way would they ever have lent any support to the invasion of a country that meant us no harm or the annexation of Arab land for nearly four decades.

Jill’s employer, and other American publications, such as The Nation and Mother Jones, are principled outlets which never approved (and would have never) of the starving of Iraqi children and the destruction of an Arab or Muslim country, or any country.

I beseech you to be equally principled, at the very least.
