	CNN.com - Terry Waite: Understanding Islamic fundamentalists - November 30, 2001
		WAITE: When you look at terrorists movements across the world, one has to admit that they do attract to themselves psychopathic characters -- that is, individuals who have little or no conscience or feeling, and will kill without mercy.
		WAITE: One of the dreadful things that happens in today's world, both from the point of view of the fundamentalists, or some of the Islamic states, and indeed some of the Western states, is that we tend to stereotype people and nations.
		WAITE: One of the long-term issues that concerns me most is the welfare and future well-being of women and children in many of these situations around the world, in Afghanistan, Kosovo, other places.

	VirtueOnline - News - News - LONDON: Terry Waite joins Quakers to escape ‘chirpy’ vicars
		TERRY WAITE, one of the world’s best-known Anglicans, has taken to attending the simple prayer meetings of the Quakers because he is fed up with the antics of Church of England services in which vicars act like “television hosts”.
		Waite, who was held hostage in Lebanon from 1987-91 when acting as peace envoy for Robert Runcie, then Archbishop of Canterbury, believes that Anglican services have become too “regimented” and lack the time for peaceful reflection because they are trying to “emulate popular entertainment”.
		Waite, who recently completed a period as visiting fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, said that some traditional Anglican services such as evensong in the college chapel gave him the opportunity for quiet reflection, but he had found himself increasingly alienated from mainstream Anglican worship.

	Bishop Ben Benitez and Terry Waite Discuss the War in Afghanistan
		My favorite Terry Waite story is about an incident that took place before he was taken hostage, and during the time in which he was going back and forth to Lebanon, seeking to negotiate the release of the hostages who were then being held in Beirut, all with much publicity on British television.
		Our friend Terry seems to feel that the motivation behind the terrorism emanating from the Middle East is the grave economic inequities in the world, the fact that we in the West are rich and they are poor, that we are well fed and they are hungry.
		Jan, you and Terry, as well as many others are critical of the military action launched by the United States and other Coalition nations aimed at eradicating terrorism in the world, and bringing to justice those responsible for the September 11th carnage.
