About Me
- Name: Intellectual Insurgent
- Location: South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
I am the person who fits in nowhere and everywhere.
Extremists. Militants.
Religious Fanatics. Terrorists.
Patriot.
And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone, and it gave his awards - Purple Heart, Bronze Star - showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death, he was 20 years old. And then at the very top of the head stone, it didn't have a Christian cross. It didn't have a Star of David. It has a crescent and star of the Islamic faith.
And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan. And he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was fourteen years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he could serve his country and he gave his life.

Hope all is well with you. Great pictures. I haven't yet shown the inclination to take in process picture of our remodel yet.
Insurgent. I cannot begin to tell you how impactful I find these images. Beautiful. They seem more like photos of a spiritual experience than snapshots of monuments.
That's why your family and J's family will have to join us for the next trip.
beautiful.
