i understand your relief/joy and all but it's pretty fucking ridiculous to not allow anyone else a point-of-view and opinion.

there are other people in this world with other ideologies and outlooks to your own that are entitled to not view the death of a person as a celebration.

Well it appears the White House will not release the death photos of Bin Laden. They are afraid it will cause unrest and violence.

Now I asked before and I will ask again. If Bin laden was sooooooo un-Islamic, why do the Muslims care what happened to his body? and why should anyone be afraid of violence because of it.

the guys dead, any revenge/punishment has therefore been fulfilled. Why not bury him according to the rights of his chosen religion? You're only going to piss off and alienate more Muslims by doing that, something I'm sure America can really afford to do.

Ask that to the gazillion imams who denounced him.

Obviously the man has a nutter following. I really don't understand your arguments because if you would apply the same logic to political parties as you do to religions then obviously they would all be right (as they all claim to be). Impossible. Contradictory. Illogical. Pointless.

Does it sound like a good idea to you to prance around with the dead body of your enemy's leader while his following is still very much intact / alive?

I'm confident the pictures will probably leak btw as the CIA guys expected them to be released. Doubt they agree with Obama on his decision here.

Ahhh but according to this board, Bin Laden was not acting in accordance with Islam, so, why should they care? Also, can't recall anyone worrying about Christian backlash when they kill a serial killer. Could it possibly be, that, after all the bullshit that is slung, around here about how peaceful and tolerant Islam is, that it just might not be so true after all? I mean, they are concerned about Islamic backlash over this, right?

According to the BF2S brain trust, there are only "a few" "nutters", and they are nothing to worry about. So why are govts. worried about Islamic backlash.... Oh and it is ISLAMIC backlash, and not extremism they are worried about.

You are in some wicked kind of denial if you refuse to admit that they are not releasing those photos because of fear of Islamic reaction to them. Especially since it has been stated as much.

Osama's followers (in ideology or in person) are still there. What do you think they'll do if you start prancing about with pictures of his dead body?

OK lowing blame it on Islam all you like, fact of the matter is that pretty much 95% of the population in the middle east are muslims. You don't need to be a genius to figure that the people getting angry about this are muslims, doesn't mean there's a definite connection with Islam.

There would be if they started blowing themselves up because his body was dumped into the sea because the sharia court over there judges that as being non-islamic.

Why do something to possibly piss a group of people off if it can be easily avoided?  Especially when providing the photos would pretty much only placate people's morbid curiosity and 'convince' the people who still don't believe he's dead.

I'm not denying that at all, just saying there are varying degrees of extremism in every religion, I don't see say this guy:

Oh ok so to be clear, they are worried about ISLAMIC backlash, ( not extremism), but this has notning to do with Islam? Then why worry about ISLAMIC backlash if it does not concern Islam?

Ya I call that media bollocks. Everyone in that part of the world is a muslim, just with the articles you linked of people volunteering to be human shields - they explicitly state "muslim" human shields. What else would they be?!

Tell me, what the fuck does Islam have to do with showing pictures of someone's dead body? If you can explain that to me and what Islam dictates should happen if someone does that, then yeah maybe there's an actual connection.

So Obama ordered a raid instead of a drone strike because he wanted proof, for the American public, that they killed Osama but now refuses to release the pictures of the body or the raid video. Uh huh.

I can understand the raid video not getting released, you know sensitive military stuff and all, but we should be allowed to see Osama's headshot.

As for the let's not upset Muslims-
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/World_Muslim_Population_Pew_Forum.png
Make note of the Ocean between North Africa and the U.S.

We live in a society that has a history of displaying the bodies of our enemies. We live in a society that that values freedom of speech and openness. We live in a society where random acts of violence doesn't dictate our lives. We shouldn't not release the photos of our dead enemy because it offends third worlders half way across the globe, regardless of the potential backlash.


Also

Osama's followers (in ideology or in person) are still there. What do you think they'll do if you start prancing about with pictures of his dead body?
Try to kill Americans like they have been doing for 10+ years now?

I cant find any mention of worry of "Islamic" Backlash, best I can find is "extremist" backlash and some mention of Hillary Clinton. Can you show us some sources lowing, perhaps saying the president has refused to release the photos for fear of islamic backlash?

extra chances of a backlash. If you were working in a US embassy in Pakistan right now, would you want your government to do everything it can to aggravate the extremists even more?

I can't, that is why I ask, why are they worried about backlash from the Muslims? If, by your account, there is nothing to worry about? By the way, explain to me the connection between Islam and cartoons, yet....the violent rampages happened.

Did I tell you there's nothing to worry about? No.

I told you that almost everyone in that part of the world is a Muslim so people shouting there's going to be an "Islamic" backlash is kind of an unnecessary statement. They're all followers of Islam.

What it does tell is that the people shouting such stuff can't actually seem to separate belief and political and/or emotional motivation.

That's bullshit. Extremist there have been trying to kill embassy workers for what decades now? Releasing the photos aren't going to give them a +10% terrorist attack complete chance bonus.

Ah. Right. It's not like rage can play a part in the amount of attacks they'll have to endure?

Come on, anger would definitely play a big part in what they're going to do next.

Though, I can understand not releasing the photos for those reasons. But; I do believe the white house has an obligation to release the photo for all the people who got deployed to get the bastard.

I think it'll leak anyway.

So they're just going to go "meh, shit happens" if the white house releases pictures of their leader with half his head missing?
