Letters by a modern St. Ferdinand III about cults

Bin Laden in the Muslim paradise dining with the virgins? Great news if true. I would like to see more photos of the body. The one below appears to be the Muslim hero with his faced smashed in and right eye gouged out. But some questions? He was taken near Islamabad, which is nowhere near the Pakistani coast, which is 1000 km away, so why was he buried 'at sea'? Very suspicious. Why the haste to toss him out of a helicopter? Afraid of rioting Muslim crowds ? Hussein was photographed and videotaped during and after his capture. His hanging was filmed. Why wasn't Bin Laden filmed?

In any event one thing is true and obvious. The fight against Islamic supremacism goes on. Bin Laden's death changes the landscape, but not that much.

Decker: “Mr. Obama called his predecessor, former President George W. Bush, to tell him the news. This was only fitting as it was Mr. Bush’s policies that took the fight to the enemy and didn’t back down despite opposition from timid politicians such as then-Sen. Barack Obama. Bin Laden’s death is more Mr. Bush’s victory than Mr. Obama’s because American forces wouldn’t even be fighting in South Asia had Democratic doves had their way. Mr. Obama may indeed have instructed CIA Director Leon Panetta to make the capture of bin Laden a top priority, as he boasted Sunday night, but he was reiterating a mandate already established as national policy. It was Mr. Bush who first identified bin Laden as “an evil man,” designated his “dead or alive” capture as a top U.S. priority and relentlessly pursued it throughout his presidency. We would not have seen this day without the groundwork he laid, from the use of military force to the building of coalition support with other nations, including Pakistan. 

“The fight against terror goes on,” Mr. Bush said upon hearing of bin Laden’s death. “But tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.” Mr. Bush’s reminder that the fight still will be long was important because the war against Islamic terrorism is far from over. Al Qaeda cells and other terrorists around the world might now feel pressure to validate their power by launching an offensive against soft targets all over the West, perhaps in America. The United States needs to preempt as much of this carnage as possible by escalating our war against forces of evil. Mr. Obama went out of his way to reiterate that America is “not at war with Islam – Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader.” The fact is a huge chunk of Islam is at war with America, and there’s not a huge uprising of moderate Muslims doing anything about it. The president ignores the reality of who this enemy is at the nation’s peril.”
