Osama Killing Is A Call To Arms For Extremist Muslims

May 16. 2011

Barack Obama

The Associated Press is stating, the killing of Al Qaeda terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, has produced terrible results among extremist. Al Qaeda's news site "al-Fajr" has stated, the U.S. government committed a "serious sin" in killing Osama. The site goes on to state, Muslims are being called upon to avenge his death.

Regrettably, Osama's slaying is being used as a call to arms for extremist Muslims. Another point of concern is Osama's murder being used as a tool to draw moderate Muslims to violence they normally would not participate in. This is the line extremists are pushing to attract more people to their misguided cause.

Bin Laden's death has also crossed other lines in the Muslim world, as the Taliban, who say they have a different ideology from Bin Laden's Al Qaeda, responded to his death with a suicide bombing that killed 80 in Pakistan. They took are engaging in acts of revenge and over someone they state they did not see eye to eye with.

Osama Bin Laden

Once again, it is lamentable President Obama did not arrest Bin Laden, rather than issuing the kill order. The government could have put him on trial and deconstructed the myths surrounding this man that made him popular to some Muslims. 

Instead, it is being stated by some, President Obama had an unarmed man killed in his home, in violation of international law. Bin Laden's son, Omar, is even using it as a basis to say Obama is no better than his dad was in killing civilians.

The Judiciary Report is not sad for Osama, but concerned about what the slaying will mean for the West, when innocent men, women and children are made to pay the price for other people's madness. Any way you look at it, this simply is not fair.
