Bin Laden Rock Song Celebrates His Death. Non Christian?

[ScottGerling]

[font="verdana]Hi,
On May 1st I released a song celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden. I did not record the song the day he was killed, I recorded it about 2 weeks after 9/11 in 2001. It has been almost 10 years.

At that time, like most everybody here in the U.S. I was confused, sad and really angry. The song sat for almost 10 years in my closet. Outside of maybe 20 people, no one had ever heard the song I wrote.

Since May 1st, the song has received abot 21,000 hits and has polarized many people. It's not a hate Muslim or hate Islam song. The song directs it anger soley at OBL. It's an honest reflection of my state of mind right after 9/11, love it or hate it, it's how I felt at the time.[/font]

Not going to watch it.
Even when I saw the twin towers fall when I was at a bowling class, I felt it a tragic thing. What is tragic about it is that it was premeditated. Osama bin Laden is a son of Adam like the rest of us. I think what is of greater value than his death would have been a conversion moment. Now, it is also tragic that over 3,000 people died, some to eternal damnation and some to eternal life. Perhaps this tragedy helps others to think more about their spiritual state and thereby many are seeking after Christ. If we continued on the road to mediocrity and complacentcy, there may be many more that suffer eternal damnation than the ones who both lost their life and their soul on 9/11.

While many of us had always distrusted Yasar Arafat, he was at first a terrorist and then he worked at being a diplomat. What would be nice to see in the Muslim world would be another Malcom X, from an angry black man who endorsed violence to a man who had a change of heart after his pilgrimage to Mecca. If Saul, whom we know as St. Paul, became the greatest evangelist of Christianity after persecuting "The Way," then it is a testimony that redemption is by far a greater pleasure than seeking after destroying the lives of the wicked. I, for one, will not glory over OBL death. I choose instead to ask God to find ways to convert him while alive. Now he is gone, I continue to pray for those who continue in his ways for their conversion.
