Yeah what exactly does his Religious identification have to do with it anyway?

He made the decision to act morally and save lives, it wasn't Islam. In fact no morality is bestowed upon you by a religion or a god of any kind .You are a human, who makes your own choices to act as a benfactor, selfishly, or maliciously. Those choices come from within your own person and define who you are. Yet, here we have just another thread of DU apologists who are refusing face the reality that RELIGION is actually to blame here, and many other places(boko haram). If there is any "narrative" here on DU about relgion in general(yet especially to Islam), it's one of blind apologetics and capitulation. Time to get real DU !

I was just thinking the same thing -- he should get an award of some kind HeiressofBickworth Jan 2015 #21
