Drop Dead!

Well, we’ve all said it, especially when someone has done something so personally vile, so unforgivable like when your best friend has an affair with your spouse or your roommate has run off with your money that you had hidden under the mattress. The words are normally reserved for the most egregious action unless, of course, you live in Lake Worth. It is not a nice thing to say to anyone and usually only provoked by the most unusual of circumstances. It doesn’t take much here in this City. All you have to do is advocate FOR something the other person does not or just not agree with them to even the smallest of degrees. Then you automatically become Public Enemy Number 1 with all the vile adjectives and made up lies thrown in to boot.

It is just coming out now in the press that Osama bin Laden’s son, Saad, was killed in action while working as a terrorist for Al-Qaeda (meaning vanguard of the strong) in Pakistan. Our U.S. counter-terrorism team (the team they say does not exist but really does) is about 80-85% certain that he has been killed. Al Qadea, however, is so secretive. Not too much is known about Osama or his son for that matter. It is one group that takes a loyalty oath to Osama and promotes its Islamist struggles throughout the world even having operatives here in the United States. It has been known to engage in suicide bombings and the Twin Towers was the most horrible to date.

If you see the guy to the right walking around
call Homeland Security immediately!

No one can confirm whether Osama bin Laden is still alive but he has not been seen in years and his voice has not been heard since December 2001. It is believed by intelligence factions that he is dead. If the government knows, it is not confirming.

The Fatwah (a legal pronouncement in Islam) —

The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies - civilians and military — is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque (in Jerusalem) and the holy mosque (in Makka) from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty Allah, 'and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together,' and 'fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah'.

So, clearly, wishing Saad to “drop dead” is appropriate. And he did. May you get your 70 virgins on the other side of hell and may your father join you if not already there.
