Nasir sent me this: “For a people who constantly attacked Arabs/Somalis/Pakistanis for celebrating death, Americans are out in force celebrating this death tonight.” That made me think. Take George W. Bush: he is as hated among Arabs and Muslims as Bin Laden is hated in the US. If Bush were to die, and if there are scenes of celebration among Muslims, the US news would be disgusted and guests would be invited on TV to speak about the sickness of Muslim culture.
Perhaps some would be disgusted. However, I am an American. If Bush were to die, I would celebrate his death, too - right alongside the INTERNATIONAL HERO who threw a shoe at Bush.
What kind of Iraqis protested the celebration of Saddam Hussein’s death?
