Uh huh. And what if they are?

Remember the other Iranian member from last year? He always posted those Ahamdinejad articles.

Sorry. ._.;

Alternative spelling is shaheed. It is used as a title for Muslims who have died fulfilling a religious commandment, or waging war for Islam.

I hate to seem like I'm dragging this out, but it's kind of bothersome that war and inner struggle are the only popular concepts associated with jihad (no offense to you, muslims do this as well). If you check the source on the wikipedia article it gives reference to other acts resulting in the death of a shaheed.

Shaheed in the real sense is a Muslim who has been killed during "Jihad" or has been killed by any person unjustly.

As compared to this kind of "Shaheed" a Shaheed in a constructive sense is a person who has been promised by the Holy Prophet Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam to get a reward of a Shaheed in the Hereafter but is not taken as Shaheed with regard to the rules of burial. It means that the dead body has to be bathed like a dead body of any other person. The Holy Prophet Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam has included in this category of Shaheed a large number of persons such as a person who has died in a Plague or who has died in an unexpected accident, like a fire or a traffic accident or who has been drowned in the water or a woman who has died during the delivery of her child etc.

Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti, a well-known scholar of Islamic disciplines, has collected all the Hadiths relating to this kind of Shaheed and has come to the conclusion that there are thirty categories mentioned by the Holy Prophet Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam who can deserve to be called Shaheed in this sense. But in the normal course, the word "Shaheed" is applied only for the first kind. However, it is not prohibited to use the word for a person who falls in any of the categories mentioned in the second kind.

.......perhaps if the shoe thrower was Richard Colvin Reid than we'd all have some thing to celebrate.
