Nihad Awad Hope Quotations

We're taking a serious step on behalf of our community, and we are hopeful that our words will be heard and our appeal will be listened to.

We hope that the Iraqi people and especially the kidnappers realize that the hostages that they have taken are friends of the Iraqi people. They're not part of the conflict. They went there to help. They went there knowing that they're risking their lives. They should have been honored.
