She had a large impact in Holland and on myself and she is quite a well known figure in politics.

I don't think me and Ronin are anti-Islam. Well, speaking for myself, I'm just anti-"clitorectamy", and things of the sort.

I actually dislike all major religions, it's just, in the west, with western values, it's easy to dislike Islam more.

You consider yourself seperate from massive majorities of Islam, Noodle, in that you don't approve of mutilation, stoning, and even enforced dress on women. Why is that?

Here's my other hero. Perhaps he's the most well-known modern Chinese linguist and literalist in the world. Too bad he passed away a month ago.

I think it's time for another

*FACE PALM*

Isn't a hero someone you look up to? Do they need to be famous? Most heros are everyday people.

Yes. But I made this thread so we could talk about history and well known historical figures.

However,t hat isn't going so well, so if you think you've got something good to say then say it; just no hit and run posts. Only conversations.

Well one post said their parents were and I admire that. And Ronin's had a book written about her and others knew her, so I was just wondering what defines a hero to others. Some people chose mass murders, while others made more logical (in my mind) choices. I can understand warriors killing in battles as being heros, but genocide?
Anyone who chose a "mass murderer" please change our way of thinking as to why you chose them. Maybe there is a reason some of us don't see it.

Perhaps death isn't such a bad thing as you think it is? Maybe that's why not everyone else cares.

Tell me that as they stick you in the gas chamber.
