Osama Bin Laden Celebrations labelled "Disguisting"

[lokiduck]

... In history today we watched a video on the Atomic bomb.

With the deaths of countless innocents in Japan, the USA partied like it was the end of the world because they had defeated the enemy. Everyone celebrates not because of the death of the enemy. They celebrate because they made a victory...

I understand what the Islam leader is saying because he is stating simply that those who celebrate death are disgusting, which is understandable because I personally found the footage of the partying while countless Japanese laid there dying horrible back at the end of 1940.

Though this is different. I mean Osama Bin Laden was the horrible man and the fact that he is dead is good, and it is a victory which is why people are celebrating, but you can understand why some people would be offended because they may not understand that.

Like the Mosque reader said at a Muslim Service I attended said, "The key to world peace is respect for peoples different opinions" and yes we should celebrate, but we should understand and respect that some might think us cruel for enjoying death.

I wish hell existed so bin Laden could burn in it.

To anyone who believes that Americans celebrating OBL's death is disgusting, or immoral, or an exhibition of American depravation: F*ck off.

No, I won't 'f*ck off' just because you told me to.

I thought we were more civilized now, and don't follow the rule of 'An eye for an eye' any more. I believe revenge is a thing of the past.

Over sensitive dbag, Osama has been responsible for taking thousands of lives, of course I'm glad that he's dead.

 

[BioHazardMan]

It's not "eye for an eye" it's "eye for thousands of eyes"

What type of girly man is upset that people are happy that this monster is dead?

People especially americans have a right to celebrate, he was the figurehead and face of
an organization and group of people that declared war on us and want nothing else than to kill us and now he is dead by our hand.

If anything people have the right to celebrate the fact that the world is just a little less darker today.

 

[ShaqLevick]

I wonder who is running a bigger number. People killed in the WTC or civilians killed in Afghanistan by the American military machine. It's sad to say but Osama had some misguided motive in what he planned... Comparatively some slaughter is much more senseless.

The world is completely fucked, and I guess we should expect no less. What is a young Afghani child supposed to think about celebrations such as these when some old man got bombed in a cave, but nobody noticed when his father was buried in rubble last year.

I in no way defend guerilla warfare on civilians especially outside contested territory. However, I feel this was an opportunity for someone to be "the bigger man", an opportunity that was sorely overlooked. America is in need of a PR agent, so they can stop worrying what Americans think of America, and take a look at the world at large.

Celebrating in the streets after 9/11 is the celebration of the death of thousands of innocent people. The celebration of the death of Bin Laden is the celebration of the death of an evil man who is responsible for the death of thousands, those who died during the attacks on 9/11 and those who died in the resulting military conflicts. Its circumstances like these that change the entire situation.

Saw some footage of the American mobs celebrating. And with the chanting and the burning of a picture of Osama. I've got to say, it looked eerily similar to your average middle eastern celebration mob.

That said those probably were just some drunken youth who had already been partying/clubbing/going out when they heard the news at 2 AM. So it becomes more understandable. Still it does strike me as a bit disturbing to see civilized people celebrate someone's murder (justified or not).

 

[IamGamer41]

YES HE DESERVES TO DIE AND I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL!

I wonder if that person considers Muslim affairs killing innocent people who disagree with there religion.Bin Laud-in did enuff damage to the Muslim people I'm sure some of them are dancing in between prayers.

An honestly if you feel sick at the sigh of people cheering that a mass murderer is dead then I guess you also think Hitler was right.

 

[RadiusXd]

ding dong the witch is dead?

 

[icame]

I still jumped for joy when I heard.

 

[RedRockRun]

Turning the other cheek is for losers.

If Osama Bin Laden had been an honorable foe, celebrations of his death would be unfounded, but he was not honorable. He profited off of US aid during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and then he betrayed America after we helped him defend against Russia.

In gaming terms, he is a team-killer, and team-killers deserve no dignity or fair treatment.

 

[ImSkeletor]

I am personally happy the guy is dead. He was a monster and he got was coming to him, but throwing a party is over the top.

Celebrating in the streets after Hiroshima was the celebration of the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Training Afghan civilians to murder anything resembling a communist seems awfully dark and misguided... I guess we're all a little more monstrous than we thought.

I don't care if people want to give into their base instincts and act the fool, or just want to fit in. Lets just call it what it is and not try and justify it. People are always worse when looking in from the outside. Ignorance is a disease, face the facts. George W. Bush should have been tried as a war criminal but people just don't care. Someday soon we'll have to face it that on this small planet called Earth maybe everything hits a little close to home.

 

[Silentwindofdoom]

I have a question that anyone can answer is they so please.

There's up to 10 thousand Afghani civilians in the ground as a result of this quest for justice and attempt at nation building. Would you consider this morally justifiable?

If the nation building fails, is it still justifiable?

Is the death of Osama worth so many other deaths?

Couldn't have said it better myself. Osama Bin Laden was no Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron) who was buried with full military honors with wreaths inscribed with "To Our Gallant and Worthy Foe" Personally I wish Obama came out to the press conference with Osama's head on a stick and started doing a comedy routine.

It's not "eye for an eye" it's "eye for thousands of eyes"

And what about the tens of thousands of people that were killed by the United States direct actions overseas? Or the hundreds of thousands that were killed by indirect actions of the United States? How about all the U.S. soldiers that died durin the two conflicts in the Middle East? At what point do people stop with the idiotic idea of an eye for an eye?

On topic, I agree that the celebrations are in fact disgustin. Was the man a sick, deplorable human being that was nothin more than a waste of space? Yes. Did he directly and indirectly cause the deaths of who knows how many innocent people? Yes. None of that means that people should celebrate the death of a human being.

The people celebrating on VJ day where not celebrating the death of thousands of killed civilians they were celebrating the victory over a powerful enemy and the end of a long a brutal war.

The fact you call him a human being is an insult to every single person alive today.
