"Meanwhile, one of al-Sadr's senior aides told worshippers in Basra that anyone capturing a female British soldier can keep her as a slave.

The Arab world will ALWAYS hate the non-arab world - here's where we enter into the religious debate.

IT's more a topic of acting in a civilized fashion. We're supposed to be taking the high road, and should of alleged arbiters of right and wrong.

At least not amongst unwilling adults.
