I heard the womans speech. What a load of bo..ocks. May be she should have met the families of the ones murdered by her terrorist brother.
It,s absolute comical how she keeps referring to her brother as a shaheed. She doesn't know the meaning of the word.
I don't want to make this a religious debate nor offend hindus or sikhs but the word shaheed is an arabic word for MUSLIM martyrs. Instead it seems to be used so liberally by our hindu and sikh friends, even in bollywood.
The word "shahid" originates from the Qur'anic Arabic word meaning "witness", which is used in the context of "those who bear witness." Its application to Muslim martyrs originates from the context of the martyr having died in the way of Islam and, therefore, having become a "witness" to the "Shahada", i.e. "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
The terrorist never met any of the above criteria. So he should have been better called a Jahanamee.
