Lance, I recognize that you are correct: criticizing Islam poses a serious risk, as we have seen from the rioting around the world in response to these cartoon wars. These riots show how dangerous this religion is, how blood thirsty. We should not shrink back from questioning their beliefs. To do so would be to allow them rule over their opposition. And believe me, they mean to do so, with or without our pacified acquiescence. Do you not see the importance of questioning everything? Even at the expense of a few hurt feelings? What kind of God is Allah that he cannot take a few cartoons?
Anyhow, here is a touching article about a mother and her daughter. And some children in a hospital.

Al-Bas intended to bomb Be'er Sheva's Soroka Hospital outpatient clinic, where she had been receiving regular treatments for serious burns on 45 percent of her body resulting from a gas stove explosion in her home.
The failed bomber later told Israeli television that her greatest wish was to kill 30 to 50 Israelis, including children. The hospital attack would likely have killed or maimed the very Israeli doctor who had saved her life.
Al-Bas' mother said in the PA TV interview that she knew that her daughter had wanted to be a martyr since she was a little girl, but had not encouraged her - not because she opposed the idea of suicide bombing, but because Wafa was female. "If it was a boy, I would have supported, but since she is a girl I discouraged," she said.
