OK – so this is a Chinese-language comment left on one of the articles concerning Mr Huu Can Tran (innocent until proven guilty) which reads:
‘一个人走过海旁，看见另一个人想跳海自杀。 他走上前去劝说「先生，不要跳下去！」 那人问道：「为什么？」 他说：「生命是美好的嘛！你是无神论者还是有宗教信仰？」 那人答：「我有宗教信仰。」 「佛教、道教、回教还是基督教？」 「基督教」 「罗马天主教还是新教？」 「新教」 「我也是新教呢！圣公会还是浸信会？」 「浸信会」 「太好啦！我也是浸信会，你是Baptist Church of God还是Baptist Church of the Lord? 」 「Baptist Church of God. 」 「真是太奇妙啦！我也是，那你是原教旨的Baptist Church of God还是改革派的？ 「改革派的」 「1879年的改革派还是1915年的？」 「1915年的改革派。」 那人朝他屁股一脚把他伸进海里：「异端！去死吧！」’

In his village language, the martyr’s father sums up Ahmad’s vision of the Zionists by saying, “What tried to take away from his mind – he would not let them take!” Ahmad was always in the Resistance even as a boy – and he was martyred at the age of 18 only – in an operation in which he killed more than 140 Zionist Officers and Soldiers! He truly carried the tendency of the Resistance since his childhood, says his father. In his day, the martyr had a vegetable store that he ran, but he refused to sell to the Israelis. Whenever they came to the shop, Ahmad quickly closed the door, saying: “We do not sell to the Israelis.” That young man who astonished the world with his operation, and who plunged the Zionists into mourning for its dead, has always fought battles against the Occupation Forces in his town, as the operations at that time were almost daily.
