I agree, this image does a whole lot more to garner my support than that of someone running on fire and in pain. The mental resolve it would take to remain calm under such pain and certainty of death is at the very least interesting if not somehow admirable. You're assertion that it changes it from a religious protest to a political one seems apt.
