I am sorry that two of the group are dead in the same way I am sorry when a stranger is killed in an accident. I am sorry that the survivors had to go through such an ordeal.
A number of questions have to be asked though. What were these people doing in what is effectively a war zone? I have heard claims that they were medical missionaries but the reality seems to be they were busy proselytizing. If that is true it was hardly a wise thing to do in a country where the state religion advocates the murder of those of other faiths. In fact the real question is how could anyone be so stupid? What is the point putting oneself in harm's way for these people? Their given objective is the conversion or elimination of all those of other faiths.
Given that Christianity promises a glorious afterlife why are these people apparently so traumatized? Surely their faith should have made them look forward to a pending trip to paradise? Sounds like Christianity like other religions is not all its cracked up to be!

To be a faithful christian does not mean you are super human or have nerves of steel you are still in the physical HUMAN and subject to all the fears & concerns of the next person, the difference is you are enternally saved through gods gift to man.
It would have been more an advantage to the christian world if these hostages had stood up declared their faith in the Lord and told there government not to intervene, they should have been singing praises to god for the blessing he gave them, to die in his name doing his work, so much greater would be there reward be
There mistake was a lack of faith regardless of the outcome.
