"Martyr.."one who chooses to suffer death rather than renounce religious principles.""

Is this what the terrorists did in your opinion? I think they attacked America to try to bring our country and economy down. Nobody asked them to "renounce their religious principals". They have declared WAR against us, and they killed 3,000+ innocent people.

For someone to use the far more flattering term "martyr" to describe these people and their action is objectionable to me. It says something about what side they are on. If you want to believe they were furhtering their religious principals that is fine with me. Its a free country. But I will make assumptions about your loyalties if you do.

Note that I have not seen you use the term other than to stick up for Ray's use of it. And he did it in the context of blaming an American for the attack. Who you side with tells me something about you. My position offends you, and his is worthy of public support, although he will not even answer to it him self. Plenty of sheep like you and seachre to take the heat for him I guess.
