@ravage

I think you misunderstood me. When I say its reflective of your point of view rather than a divine designation, that does not mean that I deny that shaheed is also a divine designation. Allah will decide who is shaheed and who is not. However, until that happens, anyone who uses the word shaheed is expressing his point of view, whether or not he acknowledges it as such, or insists that no this really is the divine status of that individual.

Religion can be both personal and subjective and acknowledged as such. I can find enduring meaning in someone’s shahadat, while acknowledging that I am not Allah, and any claims I make about anyone’s shahadat are limited to my knowledge of events.

People pejoratively referred to as ‘Secularists’ come in all stripes, and they are not the same as athiests.

In essence you are taking a religious doctrine and applying it as an individual view point? While doing so in a manner which is against its original intentions and true meaning? Wow. With that logic, you would be supporting people who term the Taliban Shaheed because it is their prerogative to define the matter as they deem fit since it is an individual view point.
