Perhaps the irony here is that the man who did win the Nobel Prize had a somewhat similar fate…
It is a national disgrace. Something like “oh they started it first” or “look how they portray us in such a bad light always” doesn’t fly. How one is portrayed and how one carries himself often don’t align..Is is right ? No but that’s how it is..
Honestly though, is anyone truly surprised such an event occurred? Well, I guess surprised isn’t the right word, rather shocked is. I for one can’t say I am. It’s a sad incident, and a disgrace especially in the bigger picture. Shocking though? No..which perhaps makes it even bitter.
As for kafir… Who isn’t a kafir? After all it’s all pretty much relative..
