Greatest Moment in Spanish History: Widow Wears Mohammed Cartoon Shirt to Terror Trial

mohammed_cartoon_bomb.jpgThis is just too good to be true. Pinch me.

Reuters:

A woman who lost her husband in the 2004 Madrid train bombings displayed an infamous cartoon mocking the Prophet Mohammad on her T-shirt in front of 29, mostly Muslim, suspects on trial for the attacks on Monday.

The woman's white T-shirt showed Mohammad wearing a bomb as a turban -- one of a series published by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten which unleashed violent protests by some Muslims last year....

The woman sat in the front row of the court wearing the T-shirt for around half-an-hour before getting up, walking up to the glass cage containing the defendants and finally walking out of the court, judicial sources said.

Somebody find that woman, and give her a big kiss from me, will ya?

UPDATE: I'm guessing this is the shirt (the white version of it). Oddly, the story linked by Flap (where I grabbed the image) shows the shirt made by Metrospy. But their website no longer has the shirt, even though the story claims it was their best selling shirt of the year.

--->Some whining below Seriously, does no one have my back anymore? I mean, this is possibly the greatest story of all time, and not one of you thinks to e-mail me about it? Some Tatooine Forward Intel Unit I have working for me. For shame. For shame! Instead, I have to find out from Allahpundit. Kudos to him and his 72 virgins for finding this.

1 My condolences to her on the loss of her husband.

And hats off to her for correctly identifying the root of the problem.

2 Comrades,
 
     I'd like to offer her my condolences as well, and buy her a tall frosty glass of Sangria to celebrate her courage.
 
     It's a sad day for Spain when the women have to show the men what it means to have balls.....
 
     Respects,

3 Observe how this grieving widow "discriminates".  The spaniards are secularized, wussified Liberal pussies.  I would know, half my family is from there.  My guess is they'll react more angrily to this grieving widow for her "bigotry" than they will towards the islamotards who killed her husband.

4 I'd say the fact that the terrorists are on trial, and the woman isn't, might contradict that.  There wussification takes other forms.  My guess is that we'll see it when these guys get less than life sentences.

5 That took alot of guts for her to do that. I am damn proud of her. Will others fall in her footsteps?  Only time will tell.

6 This woman is a hero.  We need to give her cult status.  She deserves a shrine!!
 
Of course, it would just jeapordize her life....

8 I am sorry that the Tattooine Intel Support Element failed you oh dear Sith Lord.  We are working on tracking down Imperials that were taken by some Tusken Raiders.

I hope she can heal from the pain, but that she always remains a fighter. I do salute her courage, but in my own experience it is sometimes easier to BE brave when your pain seems unbearable.


On that note, I do want her to get some healing. I know this comment seems a distraction, but imagine her loss. She must be in terrible pain.


I hope the killers recieve punishment appropriate to the crime.


I hope she can get her life back somehow.


USA, all the way!

10 Playing the movie "El Cid" backwards gets better reviews in some North African countries.



Pray for this lady in the upcoming re-reconquista.
