Supporters of the banned Islamic organization Jamaat-ud-Dawa embrace each other after taking part in a funeral prayer for al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Karachi on Tuesday, May 3. The founder one of Pakistan's most violent Islamist militant groups has told Muslims to be heartened by the death of Osama bin Laden, as his "martyrdom" would not be in vain, a spokesman for the group said on Tuesday.

Those who have died in Bahrain protests are Martyrs.
Those who have died in Yemen protests are Martyrs.
Those who have died on the rebel side in the Libyan conflict are Martyrs.

Best time to nuke these dirty Pigs!
Time to turn this place into a parking lot.
If there was ever a reason to spend a dollar on a cruise missle or predator drone...this was it
I say Nuke the whole lot of them, Let them all get their 70 Virgins before they are all gone as there will not be enough to go around.
In a world of pridefully pretentious fallen allegiances wherein every confused status quo systems leaves men dividedly contentiousness rather than ONE; all fall as victims, none are saved. The WAY OF PEACE men have not known because rather than having love to exceed the UNrighteousnesses of this world, men all have sought comfort praising perpetuities to preserve their own devices. They who WAIT for the LORD who will SILENCE the minions of CONFUSION, these are they who shall be ONE! The TRUE CHILDREN of ABRAHAM'S FAITH shall be AGREED and NOT divided. Believe the ancient PROMISES of YAH. I pray for a world to know again never again to forget, the WAY of PEACE!
Nowhere on this earth are the religions of this world whole pure unto the Creator void of unreasoning bias. Wherever it is anywhere in the world where passion reigns more than purest inspiration, ALL are victims. They who are wiser discern the need to seek the EXCEEDING TRUTHS which a WHOLE WORLD contentiously prideful has refused to fully consider. (Isaiah 52:15-53:1, 41:27-42:3>-42:4, Mat.12:18, Acts 3:18-23) No short-sighted nor impure standard is to the salvation of any man.
then we will be just as bad as we say they are! think about the chaos that would cause! think!
THe bucket of KFC I had for lunch is a Martyr
What an ass!!! Go back to where you came from!!! Your a joke!!! We don't need people like you here Your SICK!!
wow.....
I agree that dancing in the streets and cheering over a death (even for an evil mass murderer like bin Laden) may not be appropriate. But hating America is NOT the answer. Not all Americans are bad. Not all are good. We are all children of Abraham. And sometimes "we know not what we do." America included. None of us is perfect. Please stop now.
We rejoice in the death of the #2 son of satan!! who for so many years killed innocent unarmed human lives. What is your exuse for what he did to all those innocent men women and Children on those planes and buildings? yes tell us!! hey why don't you get rewarded as you believe and follow him and all the other snakes to hell by doing what you cowards do best "suicide"!
osama was is and will always be a coward! That's why he lived so long he had other dumb asses do his dirty work and now come to light he also used women as shields. What a nut case!
Probably pictures of some other guys funeral. The powers that be are staging something big so that the public can go along with them. Mark my words, there will be a so called retaliation from the "bad guys" as to then instill more fear in America. Once they do this, these powers can do whatever they want with us and their profit and power motivative objectives. The real culprits are still out there. The best way to control economies and nations is to have two sides war against each other. But what makes this particular war even worst is that we have an enemy that is invisible. Its like trying to machine gun mosquitos in a swamp. Yeah, you might kill some of them but millions will arise again. The powers chose the perfect enemy so they can prolong the SO CALLED CONFLICT...a never ending money making machine at the expense of American lives. What ever you hear in the news, think the opposite and you are closer to the truth than the guy next to you. Its amazing how many people are still being led like cattle. WAKE UP AMERICA.
Preach on Nabiyah! Preach on , Brother!
David-3421858 has a point. The U.S. is not innocent - but paying Pakistan should be taking care of these people out in the street demonstrating. Just as the U.S. should have taken care of the Mexicans when they were out protesting. My only statement is let's quite giving money to other countries and take care of our own.
How 'bout praying for the thousands of people this SOB has killed?
Your damn right!!! Pray for this a$$hole? You must be kidding me. Good riddance, you fu@#ing evil Mother F&cker!! I hope the fishes enjoyed your entrails..........
Well at least now we know who our next enemy is with these pictures.
While they are all lined up like that deep in prayer how about a long slow plane ride that drops a canister of Napalm on the street. I think that would solve a lot of that areas problem real quick.
AGREED AGREED!!!!!!!!! They did not shed a tear, but danced in the streets when bin Laden killed thousands.
YAH does not desire the death of the wicked, but that he should learn to turn from his wicked ways unto life. WHO is it in this world that will truly know the WAY of COMPLETE and PURE LAWFULNESS before YAH according to the PROMISES? (Zephaniah 3:13 .. Revelation chapters 7 & 14 .. Isaiah 49:1-<50:10-51:8) When at last no more deceit nor deceiver has power to sway the hearts of men, then will a world know PEACE! Whatever is the WAY of PEACE, let it COME! I pray for WISDOM unto WHOEVER will find it! For in that day shall ALL who would LOVE the TRUTH be BLESSED!
YAH does not desire the DEATH of the WICKED, but that he should LEARN to TURN from his LAWLESS ways unto LIFE! (Ezekiel 33:11) For while men fall short of the knowledge of the TRUTH, they fall short of the WAY OF PEACE, and ALL then remain VICTIMS blinded by false devices! (Isaiah 59)
The Seals made a great decision to just kill Bin Laden. I'm sure that decision was made before they ever left for the mission. They knew handing Bin Laden over to Obama( 20 year member of the "God-damn America-US KKK of A-In the 9-11 attack the US got what it deserved" church) would have been a hugh mistake. Kinda like putting a famous, popular Black man on trial for killing two white people in L.A. in front of a jury with a lot of Black jurors. They don't see killing white people the same as white people se it. Or have you forgotten how HAPPY, LAUGHING and REJOICING the crowds of Blacks were at the conclusion of the O.J. trial? Looked just like the pictures of muslims and other America haters around the world rejoicing at the 9-11 attacks on us. No, Obama is happy to score political points with Bin Laden's death, but Bin Laden had the same view of America as Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor of 20 years, and close personal family friend. Some people are just too sympathetic to our enemies. Grovelling, bowing apologetic Obama couldn't be trusted to rightly handle a living Bin Laden.
Wow racism still exist. We need to be a better unit as a country before we start blowing and trying to patch up everyone elses. Based on this comment I can't be too mad if other countries hate us when we hate ourselves.
I agree. It's sickening to see all the America-haters who are Americans. They hate their own country. and yes, the racism of Jeremiah Wright and his congregation is quite sickening. This type of open hatred of whites is widespread. Just look at how popular this racist is and look at the people who CONDONE his relentless racism viciously spewed from the pulpit. Just wrap it all up with some Praise the Load's and it all good!!!
Fastback,
You are a total idiot. Quite sickening.
What kind of F****ed up math is that fastback? Jeremiah is a loud religious racist idiot. Therefore all blacks are bad? So by your logic Fred Phillips is a loud religious homophobic idiot. Therefore all whites are bad? I agree with your statement about Jeremiah, but try tying a very general pool in absolute connection with Jeremiah is about the same thinking process the high jackers had as they ran two planes and killed 1,000s of innocent people. I'd suggest stop being a jackass and use a bit more logic instead unfounded emotions to guide your thoughts. Makes the problem more clear and keeps the innocents safe that way.
Prayer? for a murder, terrorist, a man that would kill someone in a heart beat, who had NO value for human life, he butched people. They can pray all they want, he is in HELL right where he belongs.
I sing praises to the Lord, he is dead, and praise the Navy Seals 6 who killed him.
Doesn't sound like a very Christian attitude. I thought Jesus preached forgiveness and turning the other cheek, not wishing for vengeance and suffering for another. Maybe you could pray that he found salvation in the afterlife.
Depends on whether you are reading the Old Testament or the New Testament. Turning the cheek does not mean letting people walk and stomp all over you.
Yeah Mike, ah DUH!! Salvation in the afterlife? Mike Duh you're an idiot, he doesn't care about that, remember the 72 virgins or whatever? Wake up.
I like how christians quote whatever testament supports their cause the most - if its getting revenge or being an ignorant neanderthal - its the vengeful god of the old testament. If its about being a prideful benevolent idiot - its the new.
Christianity is no better than Islam.
That being said - these jerk offs in these pics deserve to have napalm dropped on them.
Mike Duh is being facetious. In an attempt to be wry, he is using his "wit" to demean Christianity. It isn't really Christlike to have such hatred towards a man, as the 1st poster shows, but there is no reason to hope for his salvation, either. He made his choices. He chose to kill. Not just to kill combatants, nor just "infidels" but innocents, including Muslims themselves. Anyone who stood in the way of his purpose, which was to unify the world under one Islamic dictatorship, was expendable, and supposedly marked for death by Allah himself.
New Testament
Submission to the Authorities
Matthew 28:18 (English Standard Version)
18And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
John 19:11 (English Standard Version)
11Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin."
Romans 13:1-7 (English Standard Version)
Submission to the Authorities
1Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
Unless they want you to Sin that is break the Ten Commandment, Have Unlawful Sexual Relations, or deny and stop preaching about Jesus Christ. Then you are to obey God rather than man.
Acts 5:27-30 (English Standard Version)
27And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us." 29But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
Leo Tolstoy..... "Do not judge the validity of Jesus Christ by those of us who so unworthily bear his name"
Mike 416 - hey man - the Napalm thing - you know the price of gas now ??
Not a Christian voice for sure. This kind of attitude is no different that the blind hatred bin Laden used to incite his simple minded followers to blow themselves up so they could have a direct route to Allah. Fools!
If there is some kind of supreme creative being all of the haters will be in the same place.
For all you bin Laden idiots, it's called "JUSTICE"
72 virgins sounds more like a punishment than bliss...
I don't think Bin Laden had a place on this earth and deserved to die for his crimes against humanity...but why aren't we more sad that we had to kill someone. I think some of the posts here are correct and that we need to stop spouting religious rhetoric at each other! We need to stop and think about whether people need to die in order for us to get a point across. America was once angry at a foreign power who (we thought) had way too much influence in our country and we kicked their a$$es and sent them packing...they resent us being in their country and having too much influence in what is going on. They are uniting against a common enemy and we are making it easy for them by fitting that role of the enemy. Lets get out and let them kill each other and lay waste to the land around them...then the UN can step in and stop it with the might of the rest of the council and it won't be so popular to hate the US anymore...then we can sit back and say, "I told you so".
Mike Duh He was Muslim they do not believe in JC, other than a profit, but I bet at this point he wishes he had, because he is now and forever religated to the lake of fire for all eternity, and I am sure he has found out that it was 72 Virginians not virgins.
Imagine no religion....
Do we need any more proof that Pakistan is hostile toward the U.S. Stop the monetary aid NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right on!!!! We are sending way too much to other places where their intentions are not so honorable. This deal with bin Laden should be living proof of that. We need to use our money at home to help others and trying to secure our border. There are people here without jobs and they are not growing.
It should be noted that these people belong to an illegal radical group not sanctioned by the Pakistani nation.
That being said - I question the amount of intel they actually had in hiding bin laden.
These are radicals. We have radicals in the U.S. too. We have thousands of priests that molest young boys.
Ad some more exclamation points and it might happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big boobies in my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
how can this be ? ............ the USA main stream media is telling us that Muslims across the globe are pleased that Osama was killed. CNN, MSNBC-TV, ABC, CBS, NBS, etc .... wouldn't possibly conceal a report like this ..... would they ? I am sure we will see this story reported on their stations tonight to help balance their reporting of this violent religion (sarcasm).
People, I beg you to read the Quran. Peaceful Islam is an oxymoron.
A "moderate" Muslim is not following Mohammed's commands.
These faces are extremists, not the average Muslim trying to live, raise a family, etc. A report like this? Grow up. Loser.
But look at how many faces. And that is just one location. You are not talking about other places. We can only put our imaginations to work on that one.
Dick (appropriate name). Please educate yourself and read the Quran. These "extremists" as you call them are adhering to the commands of Mohammed.
Not all Muslims are extremists, as I said. Do you really think all Christians agree that the "crusades" were right, or the Spanish Inquisition, or they all agree with Rush, Etc, etc. No, there are extremists in every "religion." Dick.
Am I debating a 5 year old ? Please educate yourself buddy. You are comparing apples and oranges. I am not referring to the bad decisions/actions of believers of any religion. I am referring to the commands of this particular religion which are found in the Quran. The Crusades - albeit an awful action - were not commanded within the Bible. The actions that you would refer to as "extreme" are found in the Quran. The people you are reading about in this article are merely following the commands of Mohammed. I don't expect you to believe me - please open the Quran.
What's next, will you bring up a bad action that a Christian 2nd cousin did to you ?
I cannot believe I am wasting my time with an uninformed, emotional person such as yourself. I will not respond to any more of your comments until you decide to open the Quran.
Oh give it up already you dolt. These radicals no more represent Islam than priests that diddle little boys represent Catholics.
Mike, please read the Quran
You never really read it Michael. Why don't you just use a quote? These are radicals which are no good, there is no doubt about that. Stop trying to cause more hatred towards an entire group of people.
Are you saying literal interpretations of the Quran are violent towards non-muslims?
Hmmm... sounds like another "holy" book I know.
Michael, I beg to differ. The Crusades had historical precident - the sweeping of Palestine by Isreal as led by Joshua. Jehovah ordered them to claim the entire region and leave no Gentiles settled within the borders. They failed to do so, showing compassion, and historically, the influences of the pagan religions practiced by the Gentiles weakened Judiasm, allowing them to become wicked and suffer their own cleansings. The Crusades to claim the same land is following the same pattern, excepting there was no commandment from God as given by a standing, living prophet. It was interpretation by men instead. But, since it is written in the OT, and with no prophet on Earth to correct them in their errors, they began, and since they were not commanded by God, they failed. Whoops, looks like I just usurped the Pope's authority. Guess I'm not Catholic then.
Dick:
The crusade were in answer to the slaughter the Muslims inflicted on the countries they took over. Read your history. God is a God of love, but also a God of justice.
This should be expected. What is the big deal? We can't control everyone and the way they think. Just read the opinions here. I'm tired of giving the subject of Bin Laden any more time. We have bigger and more important problems to solve in this country. I would pray for anyone who has a misfortune. That is the way to roll.
We need to have a Battle of the Books! Which fairy tale collection has more pointless cruelty and violence?
SungPark, you may want to reread your history book. What caused the beginning of the Crusades??? Islam invading Europe? Hmmm, and we are different?
Unbelievable, everyone is quoting all these mythological stories of their so called GODS. That is fine but this evil bastard got what he deserved. All these people are looking for is something to follow, they can't even probably put a decent meal on the table for their own family.
The world would prabably be a better place with none of them in it. but you people trying to invoke the holier than thou principle that your god is better than some other god, then really you are not much different than the idiots in the pictures. all of you can shove your religious beliefs.
I say thank you to NS6 and long live the USA!
Saying Muhammad would have supported these terrorists is like saying Jesus would have supported the KKK. Neither is true.
Muhammad said to beat your wife and kill black dogs because "they are the devil."
Muhammad married a six year old girl, wanted relations with her when she was five.
Muhammad said to kill the infidel "wherever you find him."
Can anyone tell what is religion? my personal explanation to it is a bunch of @!$%# head!
Human writes bible..for that there is no god..what you believe is your problem..keep it in your ass.
I personally believe in Money, Power and bitches (MPB).
I can take on all the 72 virgins and ripe their privates off any time..and you mislim are what ever the hell you are can suck my dick to clean it up.
God of all gods= I am
We need to learn how to get along with each other before we can successfully eliminate any enemies we have. Reading these comments have made it clear to me that we have no respect for each other. No wonder we are an easy target right now. Some comments I have read I agree with and other I do not. Do we really have to do the sharped tongued, double-edged sword name calling to express how much we disagree with someone. I know most of us are very passion about some of these issues but is it possible to have a little compassion. Compassion: something that you are angry that Bin Laden didn't have and some of us that are commenting don't have any either. Lets remember you don't have to be evil towards someone who made a comment you don't agree with. Just disagree, state your opposing view point and move on.
Bin Laden died a coward's death, he pushed his wife and son in front of him. Martyrs are buried with their boots and uniform on, he was stripped naked and thrown into the sea.
Why even show anyone mourning or praying for this P.O.S.. He's dead and that's good!
But don't give him anymore media coverage. Maybe then we can forget him.
drop a bomb in the middle of all those terrorists praying POOF problem solved
I was thinking along that line but instead of a bomb a remote controlled 757 with the body of Osama in the copilot seat
Bin Laden and his followers are proof that God has bowel movements and we know where he is dropping them off! This was a comment posted by someone brilliant on another page and I just had to share.
Prayer is an awesome response to this.
You're sick, get some help.
I'm praying for him, but I think Jesus might be so merciful that he doesn't force Bin Laden to spend eternity with him...
now is the time to blow all of the terrorist up when they are all together praying for that murderer. opps ! no more terrorists boom!!! yea!
They are probably praying they don't end up like him......LOL.
RIP's....May he rest in Pieces..........
Yeah, I'll pray for the a-hole...pray that he made a swift entry to hell where he belongs! I hope Satan is giving him a slow burn that lasts 1 year for every innocent he's killed!
The victims of 911 never received the form of burial their religions may have called for. I say screw him as he was not deserving of such protocol. Any who protest this should receive the same fate and quickly.
send a drone in to vist this group of idiots.
things will never change they teach them to hate while they're little look at the little terrorists in those pics bomb them all rid the earth of those infadels
Do you think what you said sounds like hate? Or are you just saying this because you are just upset about what they put other people through? Mo because this is a post it may come off as me trying to be an ass towards you but I'm not. I feel like this at times when I think about the poeple they've killed, but I have to check myself because the things I say I want to happen to them is just as much hate as you say their children are being taught.
Two Taps to the Head Nice and close That's the way I like it ah ha ah ha!!!
Instead of pumping money into this country, how about pumping a few thousands warheads into this sh*thole!!! They hid this scumbag knowing full well where he was and what he was doing. I think it's time for Pakistan to "Pak it in". That stretch of the globe needs a new parking lot any way!
They are sneaky bastards that want to take our money, and harbor terrorists. Stop giving these double crossing camel terds anything else ,and lets test some MOABS on their little prayer anti American rants. They only provide intel that helps them. No more money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woo hoo i agree 100%
Stop the mob mentality in this part of the world!!! Toss a bar of soap into the middle of them, they'll scatter like the cockroaches they are!!!LOL!!!
I hope the TSA and all law enforcement entities are looking at these faces intently. They are the faces of terrorists.
I've had it with these mindless motherf*ckers and the people who keep telling the rest of us to tolerate them. STOP GIVING THEM MONEY and while you're at it, bomb them. They think bin laden deserved a respectful burial? OK, what about the thousands he murdered?
Tolerate them? Who is them? Me thinks you are confusing your average muslim with a radical.
There is nothing to say about these people. They are enemies of us and will always be enemies of us. They are enemies of Jews, they are enemies of Hindus, they are enemies of Buddhists, they are enemies of Pagans, they are enemies of Atheists and enemies of Apostates. A perfect example of the way to waste your life. Very likely some of the aforementioned groups will be killed by these animals only creating more hatred towards Muslims. You cannot teach them anything. The faster you do away with them, the better the world will be.
Bin Laden and all of his followers are proof that God does have bowel movements and we know where he is dropping them off! (this was a comment on another page by a brilliant poster that I just had to share.)
I believe we should do away with you first.
I would much rather see these pictures of them praying, and miserable than the pictures of them gleefully dancing in the streets over American deaths!
The irony is that we are the ones dancing in the streets this time.
As Christians we are to forgive. It doesn't matter how bad or evil someone is. Can we justify killing someone like Bin Laden. I guess we can since it is in defense of people all over the world. But if we don't forgive, we will not be forgiven. I suppose forgiveness simply means ridding ourselves of the hatred we may have for someone. Agree or not, at least we are rid of him, and it was done the only way possible.
Forgive all you want, but don't ever forget.
How can anyone have respect for religion when it teaches to kill and honor murderers? The US is founded on Freedom of Religion but how can anyone respect a religion that all these idiot wars over the centuries are based on? I am proud to be an atheiest and not buy into this propaganda. PEOPLE should be held responsible for their actions.
Where does Islam teach that? How can anyone have respect for a religion that diddles little boys?
That's my point; people hide behind religion.
Ok Mike point made but that's just the Cocklick Church doin that .
People don't hide behind religion, people take religion to the extreme. I am a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, but I still have my own mind. Everything my pastors says I don't agree with and I don't follow. I do what Ifeel is right in my heart because that is what I believe my God guides. I am not going to say all Muslims but I believe most just do what they are told rather it feels right or not. My relationship with the one I believe created me is far more important to me than any religion. I do agree with you, that people should be held responsible for their own actions. I believe God wanted people to have their own minds if he didn't he would have created robots that did everything right.
Islam doesn't teaches this and believe me majority is pleased to hear the death of that cockroach bin laden :-)
Just the same, I have little respect for atheists. Just saying'.
