Osama Bin Laden is dead.

Why does Obama need to come out with all the 'God bless everyone, God bless America' stuff at the end of the announcement. Just makes it sound more and more like a religious war.

I have very little to say about this as I've only just found out. I'm genuinely disgusted with the amount of people who are cheering and hollaring at the execution of somebody but I understand why they are. OBL became a mythical beast, something bigger than a person and Obama has just slayed the dragon. The townspeople now think that their lives will go on and be full of happiness and wonderment.

In reality, Al-Qaeda as a big organisation with a head guy has never existed. All that's happened is that somebody has shot a nasty old man in the face. The U.S. has just walked into a sovereign nation and assassinated somebody, then proudly told the world about it.

Maybe this is the U.S. breaking its habit or maybe it is them overdosing, I can't figure this out yet.

Every President says that at the end every time they address the public. They say a specific god, they just say god bless america. That can be whatever god you believe in.

Apparently one of the soldiers on the mission took the picture on his phone & emailed it to his dad, who put it up online.

Unfortunately I doubt very very much that this will be the end of Al Qaeda! I said from the start that you can fight a person or a country, but you can't fight an ideology especially militarily!

Bin Laden as we know him was created and funded by the US when it suited their purpose during the Afghan/Russian war.

Saddan Hussein as we know him was also created and funded by the US when it suited their purpose during the Iran/Iraq war.

Extremism is extremism whether Muslim or Christian. Religion is the one thing that is supposed to bring mankind together, yet the very few at the top use it as an excuse to maim & murder millions just as Bin Laden and George Bush did. The people who have to deal with the consequences are you and I and the likes of you and I in the Muslim world.

2 Questions:

1. Can anyone hand on heart honestly say that this will be the end of Muslim extremism?

2. Can anyone actually recall what this conflict was originally about? Not 9/11, but what actually started the hatred between Al Qaeda and the West and led us to where we are today?

Yeah, because Navy Seals take their cell phones with them on special operations. That makes a whole lot of sense. I stop reading your post after that sentance alone.

I think there a 10's of British soldiers killed in 'friendly fire' by US special forces who wouldn't put anything past them TBH.......

Anyway, I'm just repeating what the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported 2 hours ago so don't shoot the messenger. As a person hailing from America, please do read my post further and feel free to answer my honest questions as I would be genuinely interested in your point of view.
 
anyone holidaying in a muslim country this summer (like me ) might be abit worried
