akabir bhai...okay, I think you didn't get my point. I don't know how much formal education you had in semiotic analysis and media analysis, but if you dig deep into these media outlets, you'll find how they try to portray.
I have zero doubts that you tried to portray it as good news, and yes, we all want to take it as good news. But I can guarantee you that if there was a thread in this news site about this topic, you'ld hear people saying like "oh, he's just a brave chap, unlike other Muslims".
I DO think sending it to your boss was right, coz showing him that there can be even one courageous Muslim is a lot. Specially for someone who's a blind Bush follower. Actually, the only benefit of having this news is the SOME people will take it as a positive sign.
I think you're taking it a bit personally though. This is indeed something to be proud of. But it's certainly something media will play its game with. It's nothing about you or me...it's the media I'm talking about
