Obama kills Osama but Waldo Still on the Run: The Politics of Fanatics


Does this mean that US-Al Qaida cooperation to kill Gadaffi has suffered a major setback now?

The part that interests me the most is Obomber's insistence that killing Osama does not signal a war between the US and Muslims.

Really?

But do you think the vacuous geniuses that make up the greatest nation ever and forever and a little more now know the difference?

Here in the Republic of Mimicry I just heard a white radio voice tell the nation that "removing the scourge is a victory for humanity".

Whose humanity I wonder?  Whiteness?

I wonder if they will be burning Qur'ans in Florida today as a gesture of reconciliation?

And what of the tea loving Republicans?  Does this mean that the alien Kenyan president will win the crack house again?

This blog is no fan/supporter of Obama or Osama or the politics of fanatics both represent.  That said, I must add that there is something decidedly disturbing, disgusting, and immoral about the scenes of jubilation being beamed from the US.

What kind of humanity celebrates killing in any context? 

Onward!

I definitely agree with you on these two points...other also but these are important...you must be 'civilized'...lol.

Anonymous thanks for your comment and the decency to be "civilised".

As you can see from the first comment there are those who would rather be ignorantly uncivilised.

Peace to you,
Ridwan

When I turned on to the news, I was stunned. Not the news about OBL, but the news of Americans dancing in the streets. Why? I asked. Why? A small sigh of thanks to God as a voice (manufactured or real!) that preached intolerance, hatred, revenge and violence is silenced, and a large amount of mindfulness not to replace that voice with one's own. Is America's mindset really rooted in that Holywood fantasy where the good guys wear white hats and fight the bad guys, and always win?
I've cruised the web looking for comments about this and for every whooping animal crying out for desecration and blood, there are a hundred sickened to the core by jubilation at a killing. For me, I feel the same draining sickness as I did when I saw the baying mobs post 9/11, post 7/7. And then it struck me that the door swings both ways. If the mother, sitting in her lounge in Boston, is repulsed by the partying in NY, will she know that a mother is kneeling in Tabuk hiding her face in shame as the youth take to the streets around her?
Salam, Ridwan. Let the light shine, a beacon for those marching onward. :)

Salaam TRT:

Excellent commentary. Celebrating death in any circumstance is wrong.

I was in the US when those planes killed innocents. It was horrific and nothing about it spoke to my values or my Islamic beliefs.

Yet too many ignorant folk find solace in wanting to believe that all Muslims celebrated or were/are accomplices.

Those people who died were innocents and among them there were non-Americans and Muslims.

It is all too complex for the kind of idiocy that wants to paint all Muslims as terrorists.

For the same reason I am heartened to know many Americans who detest all the nationalist whooping going on in the streets.

Thanks for looking in.

Peace to you.

Onward!
