VIDEO CBS TV: Pamela Geller on Osama Bin Laden Photos
Obama Delays Refuses to Release Due to “Muslim Sensitivities”

46

CBS TV NY did a segment on whether the photos of a dead Osama Bin Laden should be released, or should be withheld in submission to Islamic supremacism.

Clearly, I strongly advise releasing the photos, if for no other reason than to give evidence of what is, up until now, just a story. Of course, those rabid Muslims who refuse to believe that he's dead will never be satisifed, but rational people will be convinced.

Opposing my positon are a Muslim professor and NY imams who insist that the photos not be released in respect to the Muslim world. (shocka!)

Story continues below advertisement

Not releasing the photos is the act of a conquered people. It is submission to islamic supremacism.

Jihadis will be enraged by their release. So what? If it's not one thing it's another. They are already at war with us, already killing Americans — this is just one episode in a long war, and we cannot be cowed by the rage of our enemy.

"Bin Laden was the hero of the Muslim world and after his martyrdom he has won the title of great mujahed"

 White House to delay the release of "gruesome" bin Laden death photos due to Muslim "sensitivities" Jihadwatch

But bin Laden, Obama said Sunday night, was "not a Muslim leader"! He was a "mass murderer of Muslims"! So why should Muslim "sensitivities" be in play in this at all? And even if Osama had not been a Muslim leader, would the White House hold back on anything else because of the "sensitivities" of some group or other? If Osama bin Laden had been "not a Methodist leader," but a "mass murderer of Methodists," would the White House hold back on releasing his death photo out of deference to Methodist "sensitivities"?

"White House to delay the release of 'gruesome' bin Laden death photos due to Muslim 'sensitivities,'" by Oliver Tree in the Daily Mail, May 3:

The White House was under mounting pressure today to release 'gruesome' photographs of Osama Bin Laden's corpse – to end claims he could still be alive.

White House officials are afraid that releasing the images, thought to show the dead al-Qaeda leader with a massive head wound, would offend 'sensitivities' in the Muslim world.

It had been previously thought President Barack Obama had decided to release at least one photo showing Osama Bin Laden shortly after he was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs.

The news came as a Taliban spokesman demanded to see photographic evidence of the assassination.

The White House says the photograph of a dead Osama bin Laden is 'gruesome' and that 'it could be inflammatory' if released.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said the White House is mulling whether to make the photo public, but he said officials are concerned about the 'sensitivity' of doing so….

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement emailed to journalists: 'This news is only coming from one side, from Obama's office, and America has not shown any evidence or proof to support this claim.

'On the other side, our sources close to Osama bin Laden have not confirmed or denied the news.

'Until there is news from sources close to Osama bin Laden it will be too early to provide any reaction.'

Officials are also considering whether to release a video showing Osama Bin Laden being buried at sea….

John Brennan, the White House counter-terrorism chief, told reporters that the administration was still deliberating on release of the material. Making it public might satisfy those who would otherwise doubt that it was bin Laden who was killed….

'The burial of bin Laden's remains was done in strict conformance with Islamist precepts and practices,' said John Brennan, U.S. President Barack Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser….

Muslim clerics are predicting revenge attacks against American targets because of the way the government decided to dispose of the leader's body.

9/11 didn't bother them. The sea burial of Osama bin Laden does.

“9/11 didn’t bother them. The sea burial of Osama bin Laden does.”
Reminds me of something I saw or read years ago that a member of Hitler’s Military Staff said to another after the Battle of Stalingrad that the fact that MASSIVE numbers of their soldiers were killed ,wounded,and/or captured didn’t put Hitler into a RAGE,but that his General Von Paulus did NOT commit suicide rather than surrender did.

Obama is so busy trying to disconnect Bin Laden from Islam it is sickening.
This spineless coward in the White House is trying to portray Al Qaeda as the “bad guys” as though they are not connected to the “religion of peace.”
Obama you hypocrite here’s a couple of quotes from your precious Holy Quran.
Qur’an:8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”
Qur’an 5:33 “The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Prophet and make mischief in the land, is to murder them, crucify them, or cut off a hand and foot on opposite sides…their doom is dreadful. They will not escape the fire, suffering constantly.”
Bin Laden was a Muslim and he was a good Muslim as he followed the Quran and the Hadith to the letter of the law.
Obama “we the people” are far more switched on to the sheer evil of Islam so can the B.S.
These barabaric Islamic pigs were not offended by the beaheading of American Daniel Pearl so who gives a flying F—if they are offended by a photo Bin Ladens worthless corpse.
Get a backbone Obama and do what you are elected to do or resign.
The Navy Seals are the true heroes in this story and they deserve the highest military honors and a ticker tape parade. The only problem is Obama you would try steal thier glory.

the wh was aware that obl was hiding in that safe house since AUGUST. so why did our tower of jello finally order the strike? obviously the answer is “politics”. if bho had not ordered the hit (and that’s what it was) and word got out (and it would), clinton would tell the truth before bho would get elected to anything ever again.
i’m just sayin.

Rest assured that Obama will aid and comfort all our enemies. He can’t help himself. He is like a child living out a fantasy where people are suffering and dieing because of his antics and all he does is ignore the results. To top it all off he is making a visit to the GZM site thursday. I guarantee he will lie and say he is there to address the 9-11 families. If that were true he would have to go to each site of mass murders on 9-11 not just one where his supporters might assemble, in dar al Islam.

“The burial of bin Laden’s remains was done in strict conformance with
Islamist precepts and practices,’ said John Brennan,
U.S. President Barack Obama’s top counter-terrorism adviser”
The fact that any American, I don’t care what their rank, would give
any consideration about following Islamic practice under these circumstances,
freaks me out!!!! What happened to my country????
The fact that Osama got to die rather than be hung like Hussein is OUTRAGEOUS!
Any special anything makes me want to flip out!
In the name of not offending Muslims, whether here or elsewhere, causes
me, and American to suffer!
I suffer the fact that I am not convinced and my own leadership will not
focus on the loss that we as Americans have suffered. It’s always about
the sensitivities of Muslims. It’s always about some stupid concept
that somewhere in stupidistan there might be a USA soldier lost because
of something someone said or did that made the whole muslim world mad!
The gosh darn Osama bin laden, if he is dead,(which I doubt) took away
my world and the world of my children as we once knew it! He masterminded
the plan to destroy innocent lives and penetrate the “safe world” we all
used to know. He managed to ruin the way we live for what seems like the
rest of our lives now, and he, this piece of crap gets to be buried at
sea like some kind of holy man. Sickening! Please America, vote in someone
with half a brain in 2012, NOBAMA 2012!

They already disposed of the only real evidence that OBL is dead. His body!
They should have taken OBL alive, then they could tried him and executed him publically.
This what they did with Saddam Hussien.
Maybe they were afraid that this would be too offensive to Muslims, so they (allegedly) shot him in the head instead.
If they had taken OBL alive and tried and executed him publically, there would be no doubt that OBL is dead, and the world have closure.
Now all we will ever have is conflicting stories and conspiracy theories.

Sorry Pam,
I am still not buying it. Quick disposal of the body , at sea! No clear death photos, impossible DNA results (one day after the alleged death). It seems to me that Obama and the Pakistani intel have conspired to fake BL’s death, possibly to help him escape, again. Remember this is all coming from the people that brought you the “certification of live birth”! I need proof.

sigh…here we go again. look, just like when that idiot preacher burned a quran and every right-winger for miles hannity, rush, etc. along with our military condemed it because it would put our troops in danger. this is the same thing, with conformation in the muslim world that he was really killed, it will strengthen their resolve to commit more attacks. i dont care either way, drag his body through the street, bury him at sea. but you cant speak out against one act of stupidity by a preacher and then say to release photos which will have the same effect. make up your mind fools.

also their was a reference to taking this guy alive…it would never be possible to detain a super high profile person like that…all he would have to do is say ill give you 1 billon dollars to break me out, it would be impossible for the jerk to get any kind of impartial trial either so those points are moot. the only way of dealing with him was death.

This “delay” in releasing the photos is going to become permanent. I don’t believe they are going to release the photos.
This is Obama’s “hissy fit” he’s throwing to get back at the military chain of command for overriding him and taking Bin Laden out (if that’s really what happened!).
On the other hand, it might be that they didn’t actually kill Bin Laden, rather set this up to look like they killed him – therefore the quick disposal of the body at sea – so the spineless one could earn some political points.
This president is the biggest America-hating twerp we have ever had in the White House.

Just let me remind you that this Osama bin Laden was the most wanted
person in the world. Americans are expected to swallow so much bull crap
every day even when our skin is crawling from the lies we know are being
spread. Wake up bereal! Use the good sense you were born with and stop
following like the rest of the herd. Until we get to see with own eyes
the body, and until a better explanation of the story brings the whole picture
together, just like Obama not presenting his birth certificate right way,
every shred of DNA in your body should be screaming out telling you that
all of this is total 100% B.S.! Listen to your gut! Holy Mackerel~!
Obama’s approval rating just jumped 11%..what is wrong with Americans?
Are you all really that easily persuaded? Question everything~! Stop with
accepting everything with such foolish abandonment!

To hear this Muslim professor – TEACHING AT AN AMERICAN COLLEGE!!! – say that to release the Bin Laden death photo would hurt the image of the United States, I am beside myself with anger.
Let me ask you, butthead – Does the United States have a good image in the Muslim world that we don’t want to tarnish?? HELL NO! – they hate us NO MATTER WHAT WE DO!!! So screw ’em! They hate us for being non-Muslim!!!
Let me ask another question, butthead… Don’t you think the problem might be that the United States is beginning to think that the Muslim world and Islam and Jihad and Shariah is a pile of shit and that your religion has a serious PR problem that you might want to work on first?

Since 0bama spent many of his formative years in Indonesia as a muslim I suspect his reluctance has more to do with what he knows the reaction on the Arab street will be- muslims attacking anything even remotely connected to America, kidnapping and slaughtering Americans at every opportunity, and every jihadi wannabe trying to become the new poster boy for jihad by assassinating 0bama. All the work the government has done to minimize the perception of islam as “the religion of peace” that has been misunderstood by a small but violent minority, shot to Hell overnight. To Hell with all the PC BS. They have been trying to tame rabid dogs. Let’s get this party started.
Cry “Havoc!” and let loose the dogs of war. Release the damn pictures.

There is a rational argument for not releasing the photo. The report of bin Laden’s death came just a week after WikiLeaks documents revealed claims his supporters could unleash a “nuclear hellstorm” in the West if he were killed or captured. If we don’t “prove” it, maybe they won’t know and it will avert what was once unthinkable but is becoming increasingly believable. And if they do come to believe we killed Osama, showing the pictures may trigger an escalation that goes nuclear on their part. So there’s a weirdly rational argument for hiding history. But then… why did Obama announce it? Bush has said that things will happen in the War on Terror that would go undocumented. But of course, the re-election of our narcissist in chief demanded his moment of glory. That’s treasonous! At least the polls show that we, the little people, were not impressed.

Just goes to show what Butt-Lickers we have in the White House. His body should have been put on display till it rotted. And it took Obummer 16 hours to make up his mind?? What a jerk, still cant make a decision and stick to it. Bin Laden should have been shown NO respect as far as burial…no one showed the 3000 people who died 9/11 any respect. And we’ve had to put up with Americans being beheaded on TV, bodies drug through the streets, etc. This man got MORE than he deserved. All he deserved was to get his head blown off. End of Story.

Last night I was watching a piece on Osama Bin Laden and he was being interviewed by an American reporter after the bombing of the US Embassy in Kenya where over 200 were killed and a 1000 injured mostly Muslim men, women and children. He was asked by the reporter “what about all innocent the men, women and children that died” and Bin Laden said “in Jihad it was Alla’s will that they die, it was their destiny”.. Well then it was DESTINY that the Navy SEAL’s killed Osama Bin Laden and was the WILL OF ALLA according to Osama Bin Laden’s own words..

We witnessed 9/11 live and the weeks and months and years on after
without one ounce of consideration for Americans or for retaliation.
We witnessed these other disgusting videos for example too.
On March 31, 2004, Iraqi insurgents in Fallujah ambushed a convoy containing four American private military contractors from Blackwater USA, were killed and dragged from their cars, beaten, and set on fire. Their burned corpses were then dragged through the streets before being hung over a bridge crossing the Euphrates.
The beheading of Nicholas Berg and Daniel Pearl and Paul Johnson.

The American people have a right to see this. They had no problem releasing photos of Abu Ghraib. Obama is working for the American people. His only concern is the American people. His dual loyalties need to be put aside. We need to demand this. It’s unconscionable. That fact that they gave this guy a funeral is enough to make me sick. Too bad those who died on 9/11 didn’t get the same consideration. Make him resign. If they are going to continue the lie about his past, birthplace or father, make him resign!!!!

Photos are not an issue. Who cares to see or not to see them. Here is much bigger question: why this bastard had not been captured alive for interrogation and military tribunal? why he was shot and thrown to the sea in hurry? what “respect” they are talking about by following muslim’s protocol while throwing his cadaver into the sea? With all this story I have more questions than answers. The last thing I would do is to trust hussein on any matter… and especially when it comes to protecting “sensitivity” of his muslim brothers.
