United States at it yet again ...

It has been quite a while since my last posting in February 2011. I was quite busy with Umrah in March and my new posting in April 2011.

This post is done with purpose...

I bough a news paper and there it was NATO's strike in Tripoli, Libya killed Saif the youngest son of Muammar Gadaffi and his thee grandchildren. I am not going into the issue of whether Gadaffi is a tyrant or not - that issue should be left to the people of Libya not the United States or Nato for that matter.

The last time the States bombed Tripoli in the 80s, Gadaffi's adopted son (or is it daughter) was left dead but Gadaffi survived.

The question is what the bombings got to do with protecting innocent lives of the people of Libya?

Then, today CNN, BBC and al Jazeera reported that about 7 hours ago, Osama Ben Laden was killed in a town about 60 km from the capital of Pakistan in a joint operation between the States Special Operation Force and the Pakistani Intelligence.

Again, I am not to delve into the issue of extremist or radical et al....

What saddened me the people of the States was shown celebrating outside the White House - they may have their own valid reasons but where is the decency and respect for the dead no matter from which opposing side or ideology they might come from.

This reminds me of the almost "obscene" scenes of a certain quarters of the Iraqi people dancing in the streets outside the main jail when they heard Saddam Hussein is hanged to death...

At least Saddam Hussein did recited the Shahadah right before he was hanged amidst the profanities remarks thrown at him by his detractors inside the main jail when he was about to be hanged...

We as human kind has become so cruel and insensitive ....

Going back to Osama, it was reported that his body is being taken into custody by the United States - for what reason/purpose.

As a Muslim, my only pray and hope is that Osama would be given a proper burial in accordance with the Islamic law and rituals....

Let's hope the what happened to Che Guevara - the Cuban Revolutionary - who was caught and shot dead by the States Operatives - again and don't be surprised - was incapacitated and buried at unknown place until his remains was dug and flown back to Cuba for a proper States burial...

My last note is let's recite al Fatihah to Osama, Saif & the three grandchildren of Gadaffi so as to all Muslims out there whose passing away hopefully would be accepted by Allah the most merciful as only He knows what we the mortals not know ....

Till we meet again ....
