"I cannot understand this fixed thinking about what´s sacred and untouchable, or national hero worship."

There is no "hero worship" involved in this and it is a deplorable comment to make and would be more careful in choosing your language.

The fact that you "cannot understand this fixed thinking" is your answer. Did you personally know a single person that was killed or their families, let along dozens of people? These were not martyrs or soldiers. They were all innocent people either travelling or working that morning who were slaughtered for the sake of some perverted sense of Islamic justice.

This would "not be an honor to the victims." In fact you would be trampling over the right these families have to remember them in their own way - not your way. For anyone to abuse that day for their own personal agenda is unconscionable which is why no one has done it or will do it unless they have no conscience.

I think you should re-check the morailty of the abuse of that day and not question me or many, many more on the flexibility of conscience.
