Humiliation at sea

The son of Osama bin-Laden is whining that disposing of the body of a Muslim at sea instead of on land is "humiliating".

I suppose he is also humiliated at the murder of 3,000 people on 9/11, the Bali nightclub bombing, the Ft. Hood shooting, the Kobar Towers, the Mumbai massacre, Madrid and London or any of the other over 17,000 jihad attacks across the globe since 9/11.

It is always a one-way street when it comes to whether Muslims and Islam are victims: they always are and we can never be.


From The Christian Science Monitor May 10

A statement purporting to come from a son of Osama bin Laden denounced the al Qaeda leader's killing as "criminal" and said his burial at sea had humiliated the family, an online monitoring service said.

The statement, attributed to Omar bin Laden, bin Laden's fourth eldest son, said the al Qaeda chief's children reserved the right to take legal action in the United States and internationally to "determine the true fate of our vanished father", the SITE Intelligence Group said.

There was no independent confirmation of the authenticity of the letter, published on the website of Islamist ideologue Abu Walid al-Masri, although several specialists on militant propaganda said the text appeared genuine.

Omar bin Laden, who has been based in the Gulf in recent years, did not immediately respond to emailed and telephoned requests for comment.

The letter said, in part: "We hold the American President (Barack) Obama legally responsible to clarify the fate of our father, Osama bin Laden, for it is unacceptable, humanely and religiously, to dispose of a person with such importance and status among his people, by throwing his body into the sea in that way, which demeans and humiliates his family and his supporters and which challenges religious provisions and feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims."

Too freakin' bad.
