I guess then anybody who stands up for anything against their background is a hero - kinda meaningless isn't it. When a white guy isn't racist that makes him a hero as well right?
Do you think every Muslim would disown their own blood due to sexual orientation? That should answer your own question and the concept of of what constitutes a "hero".
But if you look at it from the G&L's perspective, Islam is the leader in bashing G&L's so if you take out the fact that she was a rebel, she would be seen as a hero.

Sometimes, we write things we later realize were stupid. It's best to just acknowledge the mistake and move on.

True story bro.
Good to realize you finally got my message. Yet you didn't acknowledge it. You may wish to do so. Somethings I post are bait for our more liberal posters.
Gaia from a G&L perspective any organized religion including Christainity and Judaism are leaders in bashing gays. While they are not stoned or given death sentences, the fight against their life style is more nefarious as it is fought legally by denying them basic rights like to get married or be given access to private establishments.
so do these western papers ever consider someone hero.....like..if they were your typical stereotypical western gal who was say, some stripper or soemthing........and she somehow converted to islam and started living a pious person's life............ would she be classified as 'hero' by the media.............. bcoz she is going against whats typical/expected of her??

Good point. Hollywood director Oliver Stone's son converted to Islam this week and everybody is ridiculing him in the yahoo comments I read (even though he said he is not turning his back on his Judo-Christian heritage).
It's all about perspective. Only certain forms of rebellion are considered heroic. Am sure nobody would ever feel the same about somebody reverting to Islam and becoming a preacher. That would then come across as Talibanisation.
The last two lines of the article are SERIOUSLY disturbing!
This tendency is found in all the humans and of every race. Even women in Iran find a way to have sex and party and drink and so do the men, same in Pakistan. The thing in western countries is that we have an easier access to partying and drinking and sex. The western media is hell bent on destroying the image of Islam in the eyes of the world uses these rebellious nature in men and women and exploits it as some extreme oppression on women by not letting them have sex with random people or drink or party. As the jews would say "Shame on you".
She said: **‘Muslim women are either belly-dancing members of a harem, reduced to body parts that someone else controls, or shrouded in black cloth with no desire and having no sex. **
Retarded mind brought this retarded statement and anyone who agreed with this is proven lunatic.

False analogy. First of all, sexual orientation is not a function of background (according to some). Secondly, the "background" of a "white guy" is not synonimous with being a racist.
