Khader Adnan, your desire for freedom will not be broken by death but, like the seeds of a great tree, will be planted in the hearts and minds of all of us who have witnessed this sacrifice that you are now making as well as how your family are bearing this with such dignity, this being such a personal loss for them: your mother, your father, your wife, Randa, and your children, Ma'ali, Bissam and your baby, not yet born. May they be consoled by the knowledge that there is no greater love than that a man gave up his life for those he loves...for his love, not only of his precious family, but for the freedom of Palestine...that this was his crime, like Bobby Sands, Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko, your sacrifice will open the way for freedom for all, your spirit living on for ever while they who now are causing you to suffer so, albeit now their bodies are alive, their spirits have long since died. It is only when they understand that it is themselves that are being so spiritually diminished by such cruel acts that we all will see the "rising of the moon". May Allah receive you and protect your family. Mary Edwards
