Check out the write-up AP gives this photo:

“Palestinian martyrs”??
RSS feed for comments on this post.
Alas, as we’ve both explored, political correctness leads to many undeserved euphemisms.
And, most troubling, this hinders honest conversation because everyone is speaking in bogus terms.
Um Nidal? No way! That’s a photo of Louis Farrakann. Peace.
Freedom Fighters? No?
Catholic martyrs, Palestinian martyrs, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It’s just sad that the foreign policy of countries permits the conditions that allows for people to justify their own crucifixtion. The only solution to all of this is non-violence. Peace
steve, blowing up oneself is not crucifixion. It is sheer stupidity.
This isn’t political correctness, it’s fraudulent reporting plain and simple.

PCD, you meant to say, “blowing ones self up in a crowded mall/cafe/batmitzvah/station/building is not crucifixion.
To Steve:
The difference is christian (not catholic) martyrs died because they would not denounce Jesus. Palestinian murder bombers are killing in the name of their god. And as for government policy, Palestinians aren’t even welcome in the countries of the brother muslim. The real truth is ISLAM WANTS TO KILL EVERY JEW. And when they’re done with Isreal they’ll come for the Christians, ands the Americans and anyone else that doesn’t convert. Grow up Steve.
Purtty true there Bob. The ultimate desire of Islam is to rule the world, then there will be peace. Well unless you are a woman who enjoys sex, or a woman who was raped, or a woman who is seen by a man outside of her potato sack or a woman who has secretly learned to read or a woman who …… Get the picture. – Lorica
Actually, the only solution (as usual) is victory.
Victory is more difficult to define than is love. Peace
Victory is only hard for a person who only sees grays to describe. steve, victory is I win, you lose.
And therein lies the ultimate conundrum PCD. The haman race continues to make war so it would appear that no one has ever won and that the dead are always losers. Non-violence and Peace are the only way to actually win. That way nobody loses and there are no more battles to fight another day. Peace
Thanks for your blog.
I was also shocked with that AP Caption.
It is incredible that AP does call people who kill themselves as martyrs.
Such things actually condones, support terrorism.
Yahoo links do not work well. Maybe you should upload the picture to a free website such as image shack.
It is free and it works
Another good idea is to have a blog in blogger.
In the blogger you can upload pictures for free.
