Quote by NicholasJohn16
Islamic law forbids taking photographs of the diseased or at-least publishing them. There was a bit stink about publishing Sadam's photos after he was hung and I think Obama's really trying not to piss off any other Muslims.
Aside from dying or submitting to Shari'ah, there is NOTHING Wester civilization can do to make the Muslim extremists happy. They've been pissed off at us for all of history. The Crusades happened BECAUSE they were invading, and slaughtering, Christian nations from the Mid-East up through Eastern Europe.
Doing anything "so we don't piss them off" is as absurd in my book as doing something to avoid offending the Neo-Nazis or Westboro Baptists.
On the other hand, the reveling in the streets we saw in the U.S. at the initial announcement was too reminiscent of the Muslims celebrating in the streets when the towers came down. It just left a bitter taste in my mouth about some of my fellow citizens. Justice was done, take solace in that. Don't celebrate it.
EDIT: Just to add, I'm torn on the photograph issue. I personally don't care to see it, but on the other hand, it should be part of the historical record just as the similar photos of JFK, Hitler, Saddam, etc. have been (I don't think I will EVER put JFK in a sentence with those others in any other circumstance).
