Awarded Muslims' suicide mission

Two Pakistan Army pilots have just received the highest Slovenian award ‘Golden Order for Services’ (English, Slovene).

Story behind it is mentioned in many blogs, sites... - for instance here. Awarded pilots almost miraculously rescued Slovenian climber Tomaž Humar from Nanga Parbat.

The interesting part of all the buzz is pilot's statement (according to Slovene source) at the ceremony. For him award is a message to the world that Muslims can perform suicide missions likewise to help others...
