Was a dwarf a suicide bomber, for real?! - Reader comments at The New York Sun

Recruited To Die

Submitted by Bill, Jul 16, 2007 20:58

I am a little person, dwarf, and when I read the 3rd page of Heather's article it mentioned a sister not being proud of her 'dwarf' brother until he did the unspeakable... kill and/or maim people. Note, I make no distinction between races and/or cultures. Murder is murder... to me. However, I do know that in the media sometimes when the word dwarf is used, it is not always in reference to one's literal size.

Still, I would like to know because if he was truly one, then at least to me, it will be the first time I have ever heard of a 'little person' being a 'homicide bomber'-that's what I call them.

Heather, if you read this, reply if you can, thnx:), Bill.
