Is Acceptable to celebrate the death of someone?

There's a difference between the death of "someone" and the death of someone who massacres thousands, including his own people, across the world. Someone who poured billions into operations of suicide bombers. Someone who declared war on the US and the West. Someone who caused billions of dollars worth of security and traveling issues. His death is not about him. It's about what he stood for. He was the leader of an extreme terrorist group that the world needs to collectively shut down. His death was the first step.

I did not celebrate his death, but I will also not judge people who do. I haven't lost anyone to his disgrace, but many have experienced pain that they did not deserve because of his inhumane and excessive terrorism.

 

In many cultures they don't just morn the death of people they also celebrate it such as los dias de mertos in mexico (day of the dead) they celebrate their ancestors but this is not that kind of case, truth is his death is definitely something to celebrate, only thing is i wonder if this is gonna make some of his followers start to do acts that will cause us problems....

 

Osama bin Laden is dead. He has received the death sentence without any court case, and the Americans seem certain that it is reason for celebration. Is not that just such celebrations, this joy that another man is dead, which causes hatred, cruelty and terrorism?

It must be that a terrorist feel when an attack is successful - enjoyment of another's death.

By celebrating this man's death, we allow ourselves to fall on the same level as terrorists. Can not the world realize that it is not something positive by killing a man like bin Laden? Or even less to celebrate such a murder? This is a sign that democracy based on elected leaders and a developed legal system does not work anymore. The people have now made ​​a choice - a choice of taking a human life without any statement from any judge. Do we want a society where all are terrorists and no one is safe? I feel great compassion for all families who have lost loved ones through this man's deeds, and is in no way agree with those ideals Bin Laden fought for, but justice does not happen by killing. Justice is to let terrorists be held accountable for their deeds. But today's society punishes well either through the life-long sentences that end after ten years, or the death sentence without any court case.

 

Whos to tell you, that you can't? Yeah you can who gives a fuck!

 

The reason so many people celebrated was not only because a man died, but because we accomplished the mission. This was a huge blow to terrorism and a celebration because the man who was responsible for 9/11 was finally killed and captured.

 

Bn ladens death as nothing but good for the world. Gives those families of 9/11, India and anywhere else he has killed some sense of closure.

 

People have every right to be jubilant that the symbol of U.S terrorism for many years has finally been caught and justice served.

 

I think it's morally wrong to celebrate Osama's death. Sure Osama was a warrior and a terrorist against the United States, But the real question is, Did Osama do all those attacks alone? No. I don't see why everyone is happy about it.
Al Qaeda is a whole group that work together, Osama was nothing more than a picture really... Infact, Since Osama has been killed, The hatred will grow stronger agains the Goverment, And they'll even do more attacks..

 

It's perfectly acceptable to me. This is revenge for the families that have lost loved ones due to his "reign of terror". I see nothing wrong with celebrating, as I celebrated myself...

 

No even if he did stupid things, never laugh with a death of someone.

 

All they did was kill a person who was involved in a huge system. We can only hope it was something to be happy about.

 

It really depends on who you are. Personally I am glad he is dead for what he did to our country, and to all the families and people who he has hurt in the past. I am not exactly celebrating it but I would say I am happy he is dead.

 

It's all about morality. If someone were to come into your home and kill your whole family and get away with it for 10 years would you be happy that guy was killed later? It's karma I suppose.

 

no, osamas death should not be celebrated, nor hitlers or anyones

 

Not unless it's someone you hate. A lot of people hate Osama even though there is no proof he did anything wrong or to those people individually. It's stupid to hate without a reason. so yea

 

This question is general and doesn't apply to the Bin Laden Situation. Death can and should be mourned when the situation warrants it.

 

depending on the person and what events made then the target.

 

When my grandfather (nonnol - Italian) passed, we were all terribly depressed over it as he was the head of the family. We were always so close and it was the first death of our family.
He died in my arms on his deathbed at home, It was the worst feeling you could ever imagine; feeling his pulse 1second then the next he's not there and 5minutes later he's cold and white.
I think you should celebrate every life after death, after everything they've done and it help's you move on from it.
Not in the way America did it though, that made me feel sick.

 

I feel that the death of Osama kind of took away Al Qaeda's mysteriousness, but at the same time, there are many more people waiting to take his place.

 

‎"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - MLK Jr

From a the Christian viewpoint I have, MLK says it best.
