OT:Osama Is Dead

You asked a reasonable question and I gave you an answer. Now, I have a question for you (or anybody else that wants to answer). If some jihadist, after hearing the news about OBL, was planning a terrorist attack in retaliation, do you honestly think it matters one way or another in their mind whether we gave OBL a proper Muslim burial? Do you think that would change their mind?

It would not stop any planned attack but it would avoid riling up angry radical muslim idiots who would then form mobs and attack American or European citizens (because we are all the same to them), consulates, and/or embassies. It happens every time someone gets a speck of dust on the koran, draws a picture of allah or writes or says that islam just might not be the greatest religion ever.

I'm glad to know what we can do to prevent them from getting rilied up against us. Just curious though, what riled them up for the first World Trade Center attack, the U.S.S Cole attack or the 9/11 attacks, and what could we have done from riling them up all those times and prevented those attacks?

Edited to add: Why can't people just admit that there are bad people in this world who want to kill us and don't need any reason to get "riled up?"

Radical Islam is a cancer which needs to be eradicated. All the appeasement and all the Kumbaya by a bunch of pansies won't change that.

I see this as 100% positive thing. With Osama being dumped at sea, we don't have to worry about his gravesite becoming a site for religious pilgrims, etc. All the easier to forget him.

There is nothing that the United States of America can do that will avoid riling up radical muslims who believe that America is the devil and that we all deserve to die. Absolutely nothing.

But the manner in which we conduct ourselves in the aftermath of events like killing Bin Laden will help avoid riling up MODERATE and PEACEFUL muslims. I just do not see any reason to help the bad guys recruit new members to their terrorist ranks.
