ANOTHER POST JUST FOR THE WINGNUTS

I suspect that the radio gasbags will "ask" their listeners why American Muslims weren't pleased with the death of OBL so I'm posting some excerpts from this report in The Raw Story.

DEARBORN, Michigan — Arab and Muslim Americans Monday celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden saying justice had been served, but remained wary of any Al-Qaeda reprisals, and said the scars of 9/11 run deep.

A crowd gathered outside the Dearborn city hall shortly after the news was announced Sunday night, chanting "USA! USA!".

"We are very happy to hear the news that he has been eliminated," said Osama Siblani, publisher of the Arab American News.

Dawud Walid, who heads the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said he was also happy to see "justice served" and was thankful that US President Barack Obama reiterated that the United States will never be at war with Islam.

"Anyone who views Osama bin Laden as some type of holy martyr is severely misguided," Walid told AFP. "There is nothing holy or righteous about what bin Laden represented."

Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic relations (CAIR), agreed that bin Laden "received justice yesterday" adding the Al-Qaeda leader had "never represented our community of Islam or the Muslims."

"We urge our government... to put extra efforts into ending the war in Afghanistan and in Iraq," he told journalists in Washington.

The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) greeted bin Laden's death with "an immense sense of relief."

"We hope this is a turning point away from the dark period of the last decade, in which bin Laden symbolized the evil face of global terrorism," MPAC President Salam Al-Marayati said in a statement.

"We support President Obama's statement that bin Laden was 'not a Muslim leader, he was a mass murderer of Muslims,'" said MPAC Senior Adviser Dr. Maher Hathout.

"We stand together with all Americans and all peace-loving people around the world in remaining vigilant against any and all threats against our country."
