Ding, Dong, The Witch Is Dead...

And here we are where our local TV news presenter just said they're interrupting the talkshow for a breaking sad news (Osama is dead) Plus this: Oopss, Osama or Obama is dead?[^]

While it's quite humorous, and a good point, I don't think it's appropriate. These people are not Muslims; they're sociopathic mass murderers who take on the colors of a peaceful faith in order to mask the true nature of their actions. To treat them in any manner which supports their subterfuge by accepting them as representatives of Islam is an insult to the true followers of that faith. Treating them as common criminals with no special significance is more appropriate, though far better than they deserve. Treating them as vermin, subhumans in need of extermination, is appropriate, but that violates the standards by which we claim to live as a nation, and as a member of a world community. For us to remain legitimate as a nation of laws, we must suppress normal revulsion of the acts of such creatures of evil, and continue to uphold the principles by which we define our existence. Only a few things separate us from animals, and important among them is the ability to have and to hold to a set of morals. When we lose that, we lose everything.

Odd I did not think there was anything humorous in the article, as for attempting to remove religion from the equation, I don't think it is possible or even reasonable. I'm not dirty on Muslims, there are just as extreme Christians that need exterminating, just not as high profile. I'm just glad there are some out there on our side that are not taking the moral high ground, we can't afford it.

Osama Bin Laden[^] is finally dead. It's wrong to celebrate death, but the death of evil incarnate is a cause for rejoicing! :-D

So a man who fought for what he believed in was murdered in cold blood by the "enlightened" West, and will now be replaced by another man who is willing to fight for what he believes in -- with the added bonus that the new guy will want to avenge the first guy's death. Yeah. Let's party. Great idea.

I fail to see the relevance of that, the depth of his belief is not at issue nor is his religion, it his actions that I believe justify the lengths taken to remove him from the planet. How can it possibly be murder to kill someone like this, he himself declared he is at war and he was killed (presumably) by the enemy on that war.

Sure, you hate him, and you've got good reason to. Unfortunately, he and others like him also hate you, because of the power that has been given to capitalism, which, never forget, is an evil according to every religion on the planet. How many times does it have to be said that hatred cannot be cured by bullets and bombs? Killing him in such an un-Christian way, does not, and will not, make things better. Expect worse to come, because all that blind hatred can do is make things worse. It's only when you try to understand why people hate you that you can begin to make things better.

One thing that sticks out to me is that he calls himself "I Believe in GOD", not "GOD is on our side!". Generally, its the godless who shout out that God is on their side. People who believe in God do it the other way round -- they try to be on God's side.

I take it your line is one of killing as many people as possible, on both sides. How very clever of you. As long as people consider other people as inferior or less than human, there is no possibility of stopping the killing. The point is that all people are just people with different opinions. Until they start considering the opinions of those who disagree with them, there will be just more and more killing -- more and more bombs killing innocent civilians and nasty men alike, whether "Eastern terrorist" bombs or "righteous Western" bombs. It ain't rocket surgery: If you want your kids to live in fear, support the continuation of the killing. If you don't, start talking to people, and actually listen to what they're saying. Bin Laden's people don't believe they're evil; they believe they're fighting evil, so, in their eyes, their actions are every bit as justified as we believe ours are. If we don't try to understand that, we're just condemning our (and their) children to horrible deaths. I'd say that the coward is the man who will refuse to meet such responsibility as an adult.

Too true. Unfortunately, the Cristian God is used to support any and all prejudices, so the warmongers on our side are just the same as the warmongers on theirs.

I'm afraid we are going to have to agree to differ you see I'm not a Christian, agnostic at best, IMHO all of the major (and probably the minor) faiths are flawed. I don't care how strong your beleifs are or even what you beleive in just keep them to yourself. I think that past a certain point talking is a waste of hot air. I have no problem talking to muslims or any religious person, it extremists and fanatics of all kinds I have a problem with.

Don't believe I said that and no, it isn't. However, when faced with an intractable enemy that will never compromise or change the way that they think and whose dictum is to kill me and mine then yes, I will strike first and hard to protect me and mine. If you wish to turn the other cheek then be my guest but don't include me in your cowardice: you should simply roll over and see if they tickle your tummy.

That does not matter: unless you are prepared to give in to what they want they will never stop until they do get what they want. I'm astonished at how naive such a purportedly intelligent man can be.

And I would say it is cowardly to allow a situation to develop that can threaten you and yours from such lunatics. At least I would have the courage to stand up to them whereas you appear to want to sit down and talk and reach a compromise. There is no compromise with these people: they are utterly alien to us and no matter what you give them they will want more until they have it all. Your bizarre morality will be the death of you.

Spot on. The trouble is that it's those people who are the most listened to and publicised. Wild invective must be more interesting than common sense, for many people.

Actually, they're religious people, whose religion says the same thing that all religions say: that capitalism is evil and the work of the devil. I really find it difficult to classify someone as evil if he's is willing to die in the fight against what he believes to be evil. Celebrating the death (or, in this case, cold-blooded murder which involved the murder of thousands upon thousands of others as "collateral damage") of such a man should hardly be a recommended pastime for Christians, whose own son of God himself once destroyed a temple of capitalism, so will probably welcome into Heaven others who fight against the same evil. A lot of people need to do a lot of serious thinking about whom and what they're supporting, and whom and what they're hating.

I love my country (Capitalism and all of it) and I am glad we killed OBL. If that makes me evil than I guess I'm a Satan worshiper then.
