My brother told me this sad story about a man who probably saved many people and received tens of kicks in return.
Two days ago a Sudanese man who has lived in Baghdad more than 20 years found two bombs beside his tea stand in the center of the city. The man did not think only of saving people in that crowded market. He carried the two bombs and ran toward the policemen at a nearby checkpoint. "I found bombs" the man shouted.
The policeman took the two bombs and quickly threw them away where they exploded far from the crowd without causing any casualties. The man saved tens of people in this market; but what did he gain in return? The policemen surrounded the man and started to beat him before taking him to prison as a reward for his bravery. Two days later he was realesed but I wonder will he do it again if he saw or suspected any bombs?! |

Hopefully his neighbors let him know that his selfless act did not go unnoticed. I'm sure the people whose lives he saved appreciate his heroism. People like him don't stop to think in situations like that. They just do what is right and leave it in
God's hands after that.

I bet he would save people again in a heartbeat, because he clearly is a person who loves humanity. I hope others around him have let him know how much they value him and honor his courage.
