Osama Bin Laden is Dead!

The article numbers are rising like hot cakes.

Osama Bin Laden is dead! :O What implications does this bring??

http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/...364/story.html

You know, the funny thing is that I was dreaming about US troops and terrorist forces at war last night, I wonder if it was the same time Osama was killed. Not joking, lol.

:O:O

Why, does his body contain the entire worlds resources of oil??

"Jihad will continue even if I am not around."

Never a truer word spoken

Haha good one. Anyone who thinks that killing OBL will stop terrorism in any way is misguided to say the least. if anything it will probably fuel more violence against westerners. Its a good thing for Obama's re-election prospects though.
I'm not saying he didn't have it coming, I just don't see it as the victory it is portrayed as. Plus I sort of feel uncomfortable cheering over someone's death despite the fact he had it coming to him.

Trade centre bombing happened in 2001 right and this guy supposedly organised the faction that did that, and now here we are, what some 10 years later on in this war on terrorism, and they have amazingly finally killed him!?? Pfft!

Haha this whole 9-11 debacle is without doubt the biggest load of bullsh!t I have ever witnessed! and this is one situation that deserves the conspiracy banner, because it was without doubt total deception all the way.

Ok he's dead nice one, but who really knows any of it?, and who is really who and what role they truely played?, in this plainly obvious steaming cow pat of deceit and lies.

I believe that Osama and "Ahmed the dead terrorist" are one same person! Look on Utube.... lot of similarities![}:)]

No mention of camels in that part of the text. I spose you could put in a special order though if that's what takes your fancy.
Also, the general view is that it's 72 virgins, not 10.
From the text,
"Verily, for the Muttaqun [righteous], there will be a success (paradise); gardens and grapeyards; and young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age; and a full cup (of wine)" (An-Naba 78:31-34). "

That's a bit strange since alcohol is prohibited. Maybe it's light wine, sort of like decaffinated coffee.

And it doesn't specifically say that you get to have your wicked way with the "young full breasted maidens" but then if all you could do is sit around and look at them while they darn your socks or something then I would think that would be more like purgatory than heaven. Just my view.
Maybe for someone who has just strapped on a bomb and blown themselves to smithereens then just watching them darn your socks for an eternity would be total bliss.

All up, I'm left somewhat bewildered as to the meaning of much of this text. It seems to be aimed at appealing to the base animal instincts rather than any higher ideal.

{edit} Hmm,.. just looked up this bit;-
sura 56 verses 12- 39: "They shall recline on jewelled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine (that will neither pain their heads nor take away their reason); with fruits of their own choice and flesh of fowls that they relish. And theirs shall be the dark-eyed houris, chaste as hidden pearls: a guerdon for their deeds... We created the houris and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand..."

So I guess if they are "face to face", it sounds a bit too intimate to be darning socks.
But the wine definitely sounds like the decaff stuff because it says; "that will neither pain their heads nor take away their reason"
Not sure what the point of it is then really. Might as well drink lemonade.

Probably almost everyone except you Pweet.
Although everyone would be aware that he didn't personally do it, but followers of his warped philosophy did. And with his blessing and approval.

Apparently there has been a misunderstanding about the 72 virgins.
The news is that the righteous actualy get one 72 year old virgin!

some people still believe in the fairytale told to us then,why?

a good nights sleep perhaps?

knowing authority is corrupt,including the media is just a step too far for most.

they can't simply get their head around the fact we live in a matrix.

we are taught to believe.

when 'truth' is presented in a professional way by a man in a suit on the t.v,then it must be true.

as George Humphrey said in his excellent documentary the great illusion,is the truth important?

Ok, I've thought of one now, he never really existed, just a fictional character made up by the US so we have an enemy now the cold war is over.

Maybe he died from his health problems but the press release version is a lot more exciting like the Jessica Lynch fib.

It'a a conspiracy I tell you! Oh wait... here we go...

As other folks have already said, I also struggle to see an upside to this any way you cut it.

So much for due process, and let the merry-go-round of an eye for an eye continue

Kill it.

I bet he now regrets using the "check in" feature on facebook!

Wow, it gets better (and by that I mean worse)

Even avoiding the obvious conspiracy theories around this it's a huge cop out at best.
