An eye for an eye is in the Bible and encouraged. Your idol Gandhi was a racist and opportunist.

10 years, 2 wars, 919,967 deaths, and $1,188,263,000,000 later, you managed to kill one person, good job guys! To my knowledge the streets have been filled with crackpots today with nothing more than revenge in their eyes and their minds, celebrating the fall of a symbol.......a symbol completely without any real value left. Have you gone completely nuts or are you still mourning the deaths of the 3000 people in the Twin Towers. Man it´s pathetic!

Bin Laden is a murderer, while the Palestinians celebrated thousands killed on 9/11.

When did Osama Bin Laden become a BAD GUY??
 Osama was a fine person back in the 1980's when the Reagan administration was supporting Islamic fundamentalists in Afghanistan as they terrorized fellow Afghans in their jihad against the SECULAR government of Aghanistan.

The US government armed these Islamic terrorists with all kinds of advanced weapons, including surface to air rockets.
 According to the US government, it is OK to arm and support Islamic terrorists if they claim to be the enemy of your enemy.

According to the US government, it is also OK to allow Islamic terrorists to plunge a country (like Afghanistan) into devastating civil war that would eventually kill hundreds of thousands of Afghans.

And who is the evil guy here? Osama? Really?

Talk about misinformation he is parroting.  :bird:

As much as you might want to believe that OBL was not a human soul, that is impossible. There is no human being walking on this planet who does not have a soul. He was a human being, even though his actions put him pretty low on the totem pole of human beings. And animals do not act with malice or master-mind violent acts so in that regard, he also does not qualify for the animal category. But he did live and die by the sword so I shed no tears over his death–just some reflection about the hatred that lies at the source of all human violence and how we might strive to change that. (I know that sounds like wishful thinking but to ignore it will only be surrendering to it. Humans do evolve and have over a very long period of time. We might someday just finally evolve beyond the desire for violence and hatred.

Bin Laden gave up his right to be human when he engaged in terrorism.  :bird:

‎"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"
