‘Evil Must Be Stopped’: Bin Laden’s Death Is a Tricky Topic for Sunday Sermons

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — The killing of Osama bin Laden, a man who was America’s face of evil for nearly a decade, left Christians, Jews and Muslims relieved, proud or even jubilant. For their religious leaders, it was sometimes hard to know just what to say about that.

There is at least some dissonance between the values they preach and the triumphant response on the streets of New York and Washington to the death of a human being — even one responsible for thousands of killings in those areas and around the world.

The Rev. Bill Kelly, priest at Saint Mary of the Assumption in Dedham, Mass., near Boston, said he was taken aback by the celebrations because he detected bloodlust. Christians should rejoice that justice was done, but not that another human being was destroyed, he said.

At the same time, Kelly said, the emotional reaction is understandable.

“This is 10 years of pent-up anger, hurt, frustration, especially here in the Boston area because the crimes were initiated here,” he said, referring to the two planes that took off from Boston before crashing into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. “We all know people who lost people.”

Kelly said the problem comes when the reaction to the terrorist leader’s death is “tinged with hatred and revenge.”

Some religious leaders weren‘t planning to say much about bin Laden’s killing at services. The Rev. David Howard, on the other hand, shouted his approval — in a sense — from outside his Virginia Beach church’s doors.

“OSAMA BIN LADEN, SATAN AND THE FINAL VICTORY OF JESUS,” read the marquee outside Brook Baptist Church, publicizing the sermon Howard started writing hours after he heard that a team of Navy SEALs based in Virginia Beach killed the al-Qaida leader.

There is no equivocating in his message: Howard has no doubt that bin Laden was an instrument of Satan who was brought to justice with the aid of God, who answered the prayers of millions.

“We should pray for bad people, evil people, that when we pray to God he will change their lives. But if he won’t change their lives, especially those who have a lot of power to hurt a lot of people, you pray for their end because they’re causing so much pain,” he said. “You pray somehow God will take them out. The Bible is very clear that God is in control and every person in power is because God put them there. He can put them there, he can keep them there or he can take them out. That’s his prerogative.”

The leader of one of the nation’s largest mosques was equally direct during prayers Friday.

“There is no doubt that this man was a thug, he was a murderer,” Imam Hassan al-Qazwini told worshippers at the Islamic Center of America in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. “His hands were stained by the blood of thousands of innocent people — Muslims and non-Muslims alike.”

Qazwini, who delivered his sermon in a large, circular hall filled to capacity, said the Quran is clear that someone who kills one innocent person “is doomed to hell forever.“ And the imam was particularly incensed that bin Laden ”committed atrocities against innocent people … while he was calling ‘Allahu akbar,’“ or ”God is great.”

“He’s responsible for tarnishing the image of Islam in this country. He’s responsible for tarnishing the image of Muslims,” he said. “We’re happy to see the man who caused so much pain for Muslims in this country is gone … finally.”

Before the sermon, he told The Associated Press that Muslims are discouraged from showing jubilation over death, but cheering the news of bin Laden’s demise marks an occasion where “justice was served.”

The Vatican said Christians could never rejoice about the death of any human being, though it acknowledged the reasons the U.S. pursued bin Laden for nearly a decade. Spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said bin Laden was responsible for having caused the deaths of countless innocents and for having used religion to spread “division and hatred among people.”

The Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader and Nobel Peace laureate, said Tuesday in Los Angeles that although bin Laden may have deserved compassion and even forgiveness as a human being, it is sometimes necessary to take counter-measures.

“Forgiveness doesn’t mean forget what happened,” he told students at the University of Southern California.

Among Amish and Mennonites, bin Laden’s killing clashes with their ethic of valuing every person as a son or daughter of God, though they also believe God allows a government to do what is necessary to protect its people, said Paul Miller, the director of the Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center in Berlin, Ohio. Though some shun technology, they still follow the news closely, and Miller said he wouldn‘t be surprised of some members of those churches have also celebrated bin Laden’s death.

“That seems to me to be contrary to what God calls us to do and for our nation, as an enlightened country. One would think (we) might have some higher goals and some higher ethics than just to be following a retribution of an eye for eye, tooth for tooth,” Miller said.

Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said the Bible marks a distinction between individual Christians, who should pray for and forgive their enemies, and the state, which has a different responsibility. “God says they are to punish the evildoers,” he said.

“I take no personal pleasure in Osama bin Laden’s death, but the moral symmetry of the universe demands that a person who has perpetrated the terrible crimes against humanity that he’s perpetrated deserves to be executed,” Land said. “And I look upon what happened to him not as a killing, not as an assassination, but an execution for crimes he freely admitted to and bragged about.”

Mark Nieting, senior pastor at Hope Lutheran Church in Virginia Beach, said that although bin Laden’s death has come up in small group discussions, it’s not something he felt compelled to spend a lot of time on at Sunday services. His congregation, in a city where war planes regularly fly overhead, is filled with active duty and retired military personnel.

“Because this is a military community, I think people understand the difference between murder as laid out in Scripture and the commandments and killing as it happens in war,” he said. “Do I celebrate that the guy’s dead? No. Do I feel safer? No. I don’t celebrate his death. It’s tragic that anyone dies in war, that anyone has to die in a conflict. But we live in a sinful world.”

    Some will revel, some won’t. The world had no problem with Hitler dying. Some will say we have “progressed” since then, I disagree. The difference today is the out-right passiveness of the Western World. Now everyone is a protected class, except, well you know who. We have had 50 years of pandering and complacency. It has gotten us to the wonderful enlightened state we are now in. Bullies=bad, stand up for yourself without an excuse=even worse. A nation of wimps, fatazzes, and gimme’s is all we are right now. We are a crying shame. We have destroyed what was, is, and should be the beacon of freedom for the world. Every one of us is an accomplice in HER demise. We either never cared before 2008 or we were lazy, either way, we own what we are. Democrats and Republicans in Washington, didn’t lay waste to the greatest nation, YOU did, I did. In some ways, forgive me, I want to see her fall, because she is not who she should be. Right now, as sad as it is to say, anyone who died for the USA died in vain. Their sacrifice has meant nothing, because we have allowed it to mean nothing. We are in desperate need of a swift kick in the azz.

    For lectionary based ministers the scripture was the walk to Emmaus. Plus, it was Mother’s Day and if you live in Kentucky, Derby Day. Already our service had too many pieces in it to even consider talking about whether it was appropriate to celebrate Bin Ladin’s death. It was better that way. When the scripture speaks to me in the right way maybe I will preach on Bin Ladin.

    In other words, God has placed laws and governments and authorities to exercise justice in the Earth. If you do evil, be afraid for it does not bear a sword for nothing.

    At the same time, don’t rejoice when your enemy falls or God will be displeased and turn His anger from Him.

    Makes sense to be happy when Bin Laden’s evil deeds are ended by courageous Navy Seals. Just maybe hold off on the party in the streets. IMHO

    And now you see one of the main reasons the “church” in America is really messed up. All of these different opinions over a realitvely simple subject. For me, the closest I agree with is pastor Howard, Brook Baptist (our pastor chose to say nothing). I really have suspicions about the Muslim one – I think we’ve seen how they celebrate deaths of the infidels. They are taught that it’s ok to lie as long as it promotes/protects their agenda. So I never believe what they say.
    We are told to pray for everyone, including our enemies; however, we are also expected to try to keep a peaceful & free society so people can worship God freely, etc. The commandment not to “kill” means hateful “murder” on the “innocent” and the Jews understood that. God commanded them to kill their enemies when necessary for survival, etc. It‘s true we aren’t supposed to “hate”/do things merely for “revenge”; but He is for “just” wars. David & the Jews were ecstatic when he killed Goliath and cut off his head. That also was in play, I believe, with the Revolutionary War, etc. If we hadn’t done that, we wouldn’t be free & helped the world as we have been.
    You can be both happy that evil is stopped but unhappy that a person has lost his soul, whom Jesus loved and died for. I pray for people’s salvation, etc. but then I also pray that if that person (if hurtful & evil like bin Laden) is not going to respond, then please remove him (however He wants). Guess who’s at the

    I really don‘t consider someone that doesn’t consider other humans as nothing more than something to be slaughtered because they don’t believe as they do. So I have no qualms about OBL or UBL whichever it is being killed and if someone wants to rejoice in the fact then that is between them and their Creator.
    What I have a problem with is someone saying that OBL or UBL was a human, which is clearly what he is not. He was not a soldier or warrior. In my books he was lower than whale crap. He perverted a religion that promotes peace and tricked others into believing a lie.
    The only I regret is that this didn’t happen sooner so we can get on with out lives. His last days I bet he thought that he started the war and now he could just lay back and let the ones he deceived carry out his plans.
    Now he is gone and the world is a better place. Hopefully the families that he affected can now find a little more closure knowing that he is at the bottom of the ocean. I could think of no better way for him to forever disappear for eternity.

      “He perverted a religion that promotes peace and tricked others into believing a lie.”

      What? He perverted the Buddhas’ teachings?

      C’mon, give us a break with your halftruths, will ya? At best OBL perverted a cult that promotes both peace and aggression, and afterwards his variation of Islam still promoted peace and aggression. Even a superficial reading of the Koran (e.g. 9:29) shows that it’s an invidious, violent cult, and if you dig a little deeper in the Koran or move on to Sira and Hadith, Islam gets uglier.

      Recall Muhammad’s career as a brigand in the early days when, if Islam had been a religion of peace against aggression, he’d have had a hard time attracting good people as followers. But he was successful at attracting brigands and ignorant rabble and spent a lot of time battling with others. The great battle of Badr, still celebrated by Muslims, was provoked by the Muslims who made plans to raid a caravan and let the plot leak out to people in Mecca.

      Islam is peaceful like communism is peaceful, and, like communists, the Muslims know how to tell tall tales with which to fool credulous dupes.

      For his crimes (the actions he did, not the person directly) of murder (the you shall not kill command) the judment and justice of God is delivered by HIS usage of the SEAL’s.

      There are always consequences for bad behaviour.
      If a man comes to be a murderer, then by the hand of man, he will be punished.
      It is called capital punishment. This is done to protect society from evil ones who destroy the peace.

      Christ says to turn the other cheek when hit.

      He doesn’t say what to do next after the second hit.
      The Seals took care of that for us.
      Thanks Guys!!!

      Hitler was dedicated to taking over the world and most church going people prayed every day for his demise. What is different now except that there are less church going people. Could it be globalism?
