IN this important month of the Islamic calendar with the emphasis on peace and prayer, another British person is still being held hostage.
Margaret Hassan is a charity worker brave enough to stay in war-ravaged Iraq for 30 years and married to an Iraqi.
This is one of the holiest months for Muslims. The kidnappers are not motivated by Islamic principles. Some are 'willing to die for Islam'. It would be better if hostage takers lived for it instead.
