She's truly amazing. Surely she has a special place in Heaven awaiting her.

I'm not Catholic, and I don't know the rules, but I hope they do an initial investigation for consideration for sainthood. Martyrdom for her religion must count for something - although I believe miracles are required too. Just a thought.

I believe she would need to have two miracles verfifed in Somalia to be fast tracked for Sainthood.

She is a great example for all faiths, IMO.

In our tradition (Jewish) when someone dies for being Jewish (like say Daniel Pearl) he dies a very holy man. No matter what his life was like he dies as if he lived the most righteous life a Jew can live.
