    That’s what the phrase means in Palestinian culture. It’s a verb phrase that means “to become a statistic in the name of the glory of Islam.”

    Got a source for that, or is it just anti-Palestinian bigotry?

      Colloquially the concept of yashad does stand for that. However, the way the user is bringing it up is not appropriate in my opinion. I get what they are trying to say, but we can’t apply it to every single instance when someone is killed. It’s trying to insinuate that every journalist killed so far has been invited to “bear witness” which… No.

      It’s a dumb argument and makes no sense.
