Things Will Never Be The Same Again |
I woke up today (All Praises) to text messages from family stating that Osama Bin Laden (OBL) was killed by the United States Government. Thinking this was a joke, I proceeded to check news outlets for confirmation.
Now that I have become a slave to social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook at the urging of family and friends, I checked my inbox to catch up on the chatter. The commentary was Euphoric, Jubilation and Relief…
Got a message from my peoples “P” please speak on the matter; people are missing the point or are in denial with the reality of the situation.
So here it is; in the words of one of our contributing correspondent on the blogspot, we bring you a special report.
OK people; let me get focused….
- The Twin Towers Collapse
- Racial & Ethnic profiling is now a way of life at airports
- All Muslims are Terrorists
- Billions Wasted on Wars
- Promoting Torture to Collect Intelligence
- Unemployment at an All-time High
- Gas Prices…..
First and foremost; my respects to everybody impacted and to those innocent lives lost due to all terror related activities.
While the death of (OBL) is indeed a huge blow to Al-Qaeda, the United States straight “kill mission” commando operation might end up being a double edged sword in relation to the terror war along with the rather spontaneous and un-thought of celebrations in Washington, New York and other parts of the United States which might serve as a source of “CLOSURE” for the victims. These same celebrations might serve as the additional fuel and cannon fodder for additional call to arms for the enemies of the United States!
Don’t be deceived and let’s celebrate CAUTIOUSLY. While (OBL) became what was known as “THE FACE AND SOUL OF TERROR- AL QAEDA” he had long since from September 11, 2001 franchised terror out to many global outlets from America to Yemen especially when America and its allies made it very difficult for him to organize and conduct his business of terror. And by so doing had prepared for his inevitable death either by natural or outside causes. The organization today acts solo and independently mostly to do things to catch Bin Laden’s attention to keep his terror mystique going while attaching OBL’s name to such actions to have some sort of Street Credibility.
There is no CEO or official hierarchy nor Headquarters for Al-Qaeda. So there should be an intensified search to find and decimate these franchises if there is a true quest to end global terrorism!
Does this killing turn him (OBL) into a MARTYR? More powerful in death than in life as a galvanizing force for all crazy terrorists groups worldwide and inadvertently giving the presently dormant crazies a renewed spur, zest and thirst for innocent blood globally. God Forbid!
It’s difficult to fight an ideology and that is what Al-Qaeda is.
As some celebrate his death, some also will be celebrating his martyrdom and that is the unfortunate reality... The saga continues.
