There is something to be said about those who are willing to die for their beliefs. Even if we disagree with someone's point of view, it takes a remarkable amount of courage to be willing to enter the Pantheon of martyrdom. I am not referring to people who would be so cowardly as to blow themselves up in order to take innocent lives, so please do not misconstrue my sentiments. That sort of martyr is a repugnant growth on society. Please do not generalize about people who commit these atrocities. Yes, a number of them happen to be Muslim extremists- a few bad apples give the rest a bad name. 99% of Muslims are wonderful people, and they love others and show respect towards their fellow humans. There are terrorists from all different strata of society. Shamefully, there are also Christian groups who would commit acts of terror. They, too, are a very small minority, but they give the entire Christian community a bad name. Most Christians and Muslims are good people with good hearts. That is the truth and the reality. The media is to blame for brainwashing the masses.
Many people have died for what they believe in. If their beliefs were for human rights or compassion, those people deserve our respect. Some examples of those of whom I speak are Malcolm X, Mahatma Gandhi, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr., Patrice Lumumba (she was the Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the 1960's), John F. Kennedy, and, of course, Jesus Christ.
This is why I love all of these people and cherish their memory. I honor and salute these brave souls. They are all heroes. They deserve our respect. Most of all, I love and honor my Lord Jesus Christ. Of all these heroes, he was the greatest. He suffered more than any of them, and he gave us the greatest treasure imaginable- forgiveness for our iniquities.
Don't you agree that it is noble to die for one's beliefs, if those beliefs are altruistic?
