BREAKING NEWS: Justice, it has been served.

Osama Bin Laden is dead.

This comes as being somewhat surreal, it being just about a decade since 9/11 occurred, and him being one of the world's most wanted elusive terrorists. Until now.

Also, I want to thank President Barack Obama for saying that we aren't at war with Islam, that Bin Laden was a mass murderer of Muslims as well, and that we shouldn't be blaming or attacking Islam for his heinous and inhumane acts. This is something I wish many Americans would get through their heads that Islam is not the enemy. So, hearing it from his mouth at his speech just now makes me happy and hope that people will listen to that. His entire speech was fantastic, such a wonderful speaker.

Also, I'm slightly tickled at the amount of coincidences this day brought due to this news, jsyk.

Yes! I also approve of your post. I didn't start out an Obama fan, but he has really grown on me. While I don't always agree with him, I share his passion for world unity and peace. I love that he made it clear that these terrorists don't represent Islam and that they often kill many Muslims too.

Seriously, every religion has its adherents who do horrible things in the name of their religion (and heck, there are atheists who've done bad things too). Those people do not represent the majority of their religion. People will always find the excuse to do the things they want to do. If it isn't religion, it is race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and anything else that they use to make themselves feel superior.

There are good and bad things about every culture and view point, and people who follow the more moderate versions and those who stick to the extremes.

All of this, just word to everything in this paragraph.

It baffles me that people cannot understand this very simple logic. Unfortunately there are so many people in this country that believe in the bullshit that propagandists spew out (aka FOX NEWS) that it's both sad and disgusting at their level of ignorance and choosing to remain in that ignorance. Seeing so much hatred just because someone is Muslim or who are Middle Eastern is just absolutely appalling. There was a news report earlier this year about an Indian man who was beaten because someone thought he was Middle Eastern, and that he had an accent, and they called him a terrorist. It's just, totally fucking appalling to me. :/

I'm happy that Obama made that speech, because he's absolutely right and hearing that last night just made me love him even more. ♥
