Osama Bin Laden is dead.
Glorify, celebrate, and embrace this moment of relief says the media. True. He had been the most wanted man in the world. He had put people in an absolute horror and unrecoverable remorse. He had brilliant ideas to cause further worldly destruction. He had killed the lives of millions and planned for even greater number. He had committed, multiple times, the most horrendous sin among mankind, murder. He had maddened the world. Now, he is gone, for good.
Extensive comments and articles about the details and expressions of relief and joy are, thus, understandable. However, people are having a hard time containing themselves as they make sick black humor out of this man’s demise. He, despite of his nearly unforgivable deeds, is a mankind.
A man. A father of six children. A husband of two wife.
Here, I question. “Do you think those children chose to share the disgraceful blood with this sick-minded man hated by the billions alive?”
But, sympathy is not the suitable wording of this case–apparently, those fancy and domineering religions have failed to deliver their grand message, forgiveness.
I am not an American citizen, but have friends, and relatives who suffer from the 9/11 catastrophe and the days since then. Maybe, my nauseating reactions to these comments are abnormal.
However, I know. I know, that some comments displayed online have exceeded the borderline of appropriateness.
An eye for an eye.
Is that it?
Please! They wee and are of the blood of Bin laden; they deserve no sympathy or consideration since they are as bad as it was by the very corruption they carry in their veins.
An eye for eye? No; that leaves everyone blind. A life for an eye, on the other hand, ends things right then and there and removes the threat to my people.
But glorifying his death only brings more of a threat. Giving his name such a sense of power gives the radicals who are really doing the killing something to fight for. We are creating a martyr and that is very dangerous. By celebrating his death we are not so much removing a threat as creating a bigger one.
