    Why are Muslim scholars, imams, etc. so up in arms about Bin Laden being buried at sea and how it goes against Islamic customs/traditions? Do they not understand that they legitimize the idea that they recognize Bin Laden as a true Muslim, i.e. one of them basically? On the one hand, they would tell us he wasn't a true Muslim due to his extremist, violent methods use to implement his twisted interpretation. Yet, on the other hand, they wanted him buried like a true Muslim. I thought they were all distancing themselves from Bin Laden? Yet, they are all crying spilled milk over how that monster was buried...even though we gave him a more proper burial than he gave anyone he murdered (like he cared how they were disposed of; he disposed of them in the worst manner possible).

    I get the distinct feeling that some Muslims, especially these scholar types and imams, don't care much of anything about offending non-Muslims but they get all bent out of shape when non-Muslims do stuff that offends them...like we should know better. While they would shun our way of life, they want us to get down on our knees and adhere to how they live their lives. One even went as far to say we haven't learned anything about Muslim custom and traditions in the years since 9/11...like that was supposed to get us interested. Those type of comments, even if not intended, can be construed as indicating that somehow 9/11 was legitimate because we didn't give Islam proper respect according to how they believe it should be adhered to. I guess that was supposed to translate into a proper land burial for Bin Laden huh? Not in my book.

    To me, their comments are leading the way to a whole new line of abusers who will now terrorize for their religion...because they are giving legitimacy to Bin Laden as a Muslim after his death by what they are saying now about the way he was buried. Then, they don't want to think they are part of the problem. What about the part that he wasn't a true Muslim but was a deviant of the religion? Oh...deviants who mass murder are entitled to the same burials as ordinary Muslims. Yea...right. I think the true colors came out of some of these people. They would tell you that, on the one hand, Bin Laden was a bad person whose violent ways went against everything Islam stands for. On the other hand, he deserved a true Muslim burial because he was a true Muslim...or even as a crazy, extremist Muslim he is still entitled to the same burial as a normal, peace loving Muslim.

    It makes little sense to me. Can someone explain it to me? Trying to understand why they are using Bin Laden's burial to try to further drive a wedge between Muslims and non-Muslims. We should have cremated him and buried him at the 9/11 site where his soul would be in constant turmoil while it battled the souls of those who were unjustly stripped of everything, including a proper burial, that fateful day. How's that for an Islamic burial?

    I think some of these scholars, imams, etc. care more about Bin Laden's burial than all those who died on 9/11. That's what I think.

    They would have complained no matter what so who cares what they think. IMO Obama should have cremated Osama, put his ashes in the white house toilet, take a dump, and flush him down the toilet.

    Since we're reposting this picture and it's various iterations, I give you the "don't you wish we could just get rid of all the women in this room?" picture:

    (brought to you by your local Ultra Orthodox Hasidic Jew newspaper Der Tzitung)

    Source: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/09/unpeople/
    [​IMG]


    Ultra Orthodox Hasidic newspaper Der Tzitung is telling its readers like it isn't- by editing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from the now-iconic Bin Laden raid Situation Room photo. Oy vey.

    The religious paper never publishes pictures of women, as they could be considered "sexually suggestive." Apparently the presence of a woman, any woman, being all womanly and sexy all over the United States' counterterrorism efforts was too much for the editors of Der Tzitung to handle.


    Plus, her nickname is Hitlery.

    It's interesting that fundamentalists of all the major religions seem to share this particular characteristic. I guess that's why we liberal feminazis support them so much.

    Too funny.
