KLP, you realy need to r-e-a-d what Lane3 says before accusing her of anything.

This attack on her is not justified.

She's no leftist, but a very highly educated person who uses language carefully. She sees a distinction, not equality, between Christian martyrs and shaheeds, but she also sees the one obvious connection, i.e., that both are willing to die for their religion. The critical distinction, which she set forth in painful detail, is that shaheeds are aggressive and violent martyrs. They have no problem killing innocents when they engage in their martyrdom. This of course robs them of any moral high ground.

This whole idea that Lane3 gives equality to Christian martyrs and shaheeds is off base. I am sorry to see that clothing her in some imaginary leftist cloak is becoming the folklore of the day.
