Martyrdom is evidence only of a man's honesty - it is no evidence that he is not mistaken.

It is not suicide it is martyrdom in the name of God. I consider this type of martyrdom operation as an indication of the justice of Allah almighty. Allah is just.

Loves and Cupids took to flight afraid, and Martyrdom had no such torment in its painted history of suffering.

You do not know the unfathomable cowardice of humanity...servile in the face of force, pitiless in the face of weakness, implacable before blunders, indulgent before crimes...and patient to the point of martyrdom before all the violences of bold despotism.
