Far from mourning the death of Osama bin Laden, most Muslim-Americans are celebrating his demise, saying they have no sympathy to spare for a man who indiscriminately slaughtered people of all religions and launched their community into a decade of distrust and discrimination. "A lot of (Muslim-Americans) feel, first and foremost, catharsis and relief," said Wajahat Ali, a Muslim-American writer and attorney in the San Francisco Bay area. "Relief because Osama bin Laden was a global symbol of terror and indiscriminate violence. This just has to be true given the overwhelming number of news clips I've seen showing them in the streets celebrating his death. Even more than I saw when the towers were hit on 911.....yeah, right. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42869844/ns/world_news-death_of_bin_laden/?GT1=43001 |

What I was referring to were those in the ME celebrating 911 Fair enough, but it seems as if you are using muslims in the ME to make the argument that muslim-americans aren't celebrating his death. Two very different groups, so you can't really expect similar reactions to events like this. |

Actually, just one Hamas leader did...another BS pub headline, gllefully repeated. And thanks Pubs for multiplying the number of terrorists many times by your arrogance, hate, ignorance, and incompetence... Bush refuses invitation from Obama to come to ground zero on Thursday. ALWAYS wrong...   |

ALWAYS wrong... Well I have it on good authority that Bush refused the invite because he knew you would slam him for it if he had accepted |
