Reply to Larry's comment

Larry, Thank you for your message and question. I am not used to receiving thanks from readers. I receive insults/comments which I remove
الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ 
The response that you find is adapted from a verse of Koran typically used in case of death.
The verse 156, verse 2
" Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return."
It is customary to use it  and repeat it in death.

Translation of the reactions of Arab readers on Aljazeera

Bin laden was a criminal who just received his just punishment and it hurts me to read these comments posted by Arab readers.Of course these reactions only represent their writers, not Aljazeera and not all Muslims or Arabs. However, I am sharing these reactions because the American is only showing the reactions of Americans.
The first comment was by a woman from Algeria: " This news is timed to perfection.This event is further proof that Al Qaeda is only a toy in the hands of the US and a ploy to justify war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why else would it have taken ten years to kill Bin Laden."

To this nice lady, I say that it is ludicrous to imply that killing Bin Laden was an election game.

Second comment came from Egypt, a man asked that God bless Bin Laden and accept the leader of Mujahedeen among the ranks of his martyrs.
Third comment came from Sudan compared the death of Bin Laden to the death of prophet Mohammad. He said that Islam did not die with the death of Mohamed and the idea of Jihad will not die with the death of Bin Laden.
The fourth comment is from another man from Sudan saying that now the US will be able to enlave more oppressed countries even more..

Again I denounce these comments. Turning a criminal into a hero does not help anyone

Muslim's reaction to Bin Laden picture on Islamic websites

The reactions to Bin laden's picture varied. Some believed that it is Fake picture released by Americans since the beard is not as gray. I find this reaction funny since the US officials did not release any picture yet.
If it is fake then let's remember who released it first.

Others are urging not to share it since the privacy of the dead is being violated.  It is noteworthy that Muslims do not take pictures of their dead.

These reactions were taken from Muslim websites such as aleftn and muslm. net. If you read Arabic you can find it.

Al Qaeda site/reaction to Bin laden death translated

Here is the translation:
President Obama announced that Bin Laden killed in a fire fight which means he died honorably.
Osama said: " He is a happy one who dies a martyr"
It is either a life who pleases the friend or a death that annoys your enemy. It is not necessary to enjoy the fruits of a quick victory. It is enough honor to die as martyr. It is beautiful for history to build our honor of the corpses and lay its corners in on our skulls and to walk proudly in the way of Jihad whether to have long or short lifes.
May God accept Osama and who were with him as martyrs.

This was the statement posted few minutes ago on the website I am Muslim. This site has been representing the views of AlQaida.

I am doing this research and translation to give my fellow Americans the whole experience of hearing all side of the news.

Al Qaeda site/reaction to Bin laden death in Arabic

قال رئيس الولايات المتحدة الاميركية:

ان بن لادن قاتل حتى قتل..يعني قُتل مقبلا غير مدبر.

قال الشيخ أسامة:

"السعيد من اتخذه الله شهيدا"

(( فـإمـــا حــيــــاة تســــــر الصــــــــــــديق ******* وإمـــــــا ممــــات يغيظ الـعـــــدى ))

(( ليس من الضروري التمتع بثمار النصر العاجل ، ويكفينا شرفا أن نموت أعزة شهداء في سبيل الله ، وإنه لمن جميل السيرة أن يبتلعنا التاريخ لتبنى صروح العزة على أشلائنا ، ولترسى زواياه من جماجمنا .))

(( ونسير في ركب الجهاد أعزة ******* قصرت بنا أم طالت الأعمار ))

اللهم تقبل الشيخ أسامة ومن كان معه شهداءاً عندك.

Some of the reactions of Arabs posted on Aljazeera by their readers

I am translating some of the reactions already posted by readers on Aljazeera site.
" If Bin Laden died there are thousand of Bin Laden so do not be happy about his death."
This one from Egypt: " May God help Mujahedeen everywhere following the example of Bin Laden"

I tried cutting and pasting the Arabic script but it did not go through. I will keep translating these reactions which I hope only represent a minority of views on the death of the criminal Bin Laden.
