Here is a fine example of foresight on the part of PA mentioned in this article as having been among the very few to recognize the heroism of a Muslim journalist in Bangladesh. The man was:
"arrested, tortured and imprisoned for long 17 months just for being in favor of global peace, inter-faith dialogue, ending religious hatred and thinking of everything good and noble for mankind? (..)
"my crime is: I am a living contradiction to today's phenomenon in the Muslim world, a Zionist, a defender of Israel and a devout, practicing Muslim living in the second largest Muslim country in the world." "
"Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury never got the attention of anti-Semitic institutions like Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch. Committee to Protect Journalists fears in honoring this Moslem Hero with any of their awards. None of the Israeli organizations ever came forward in favor of Choudhury with their recognition, to at least tell him "we are with you". When
Prince Albert of Monaco or Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiessel recognize him for his extra-ordinary courage, Dan David Foundation, Gruber Foundation or other Jewish organization's recognitions for defending human rights and rights of Jews never went to this man."
