In
almost all the world's religions, martyrdom plays an important role.
What exactly does it mean? In the founding texts of Christianity and
Islam the word for martyr is identical or nearly identical to that for
witness, someone who gives testimony (not necessarily in dramatic
circumstances) about something they believe to be true, or have seen for
themselves http://econ.st/1943dDy
Ninety years after the royal family was gunned down, Russians make a pilgrimage to a church built on the site where they were imprisoned and executed.
The violence unfolded on a day of extraordinary tension across Iran. The opposition leader, Mir Hussein Moussavi, appeared at a demonstration in southern Tehran and called for a general strike if he were to be arrested. “I am ready for martyrdom,” he told supporters.
