Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are dead

Assuming it really was Bin Laden that was assassinated in that luxurious mansion a few hundred yards away from Pakistan's equivalent to Sandhurst or West Point then frankly Al Qaeda is finished while the West can use this death as an excuse to retreat from Afghanistan.

Notwithstanding the rather repugnant celebrations about the killing which is juxtaposed with the equally repugnant celebrations by some Muslims justifying and celebrating the attack on the Twin Towers the reality is the rules of the game have changed.

For far too long the narrative about Muslims has been dominated by angry men in beards crawling out of caves and blowing something up. I often liken the criminality of Bin and AQ to the men in balaclavas carrying out old fashioned bank robberies when more sophisticated crime is done online with a few clicks of a mouse not that I am justifying either. What Bin and AQ failed to realise was the Arab Muslim World had moved on, they had simply become irrelevant dinosaurs who should have been on anti depressants.

Take a look at the Middle East and the reality which often gets intentionally overlooked by Murdoch and the Israelites is the Arab Spring that's toppling corrupt tyrannical despots has been done by Muslim youth without Bin and his Al Qaeda cronies. While Bin was holed up in his mansion watching Bollywood movies the Arab Muslim world are engaged in a real battle and war to overthrow Muslim murderers ruling the Ummah.

For all those Muslims that have been taken in by the lies and propaganda of Bin and AQ the West is not our enemy but an important stakeholder that we need to engage and work with in partnership. The biggest enemy Muslims have is fellow Muslim tyrants who have been removed in Egypt and Tunisia and are set to be swept aside in Libya, Syria, Bahrain etc. Bin and AQ managed to allow some Muslims to take their eyes off the ball by focusing on the West when in reality the battle was internal not external.

Sadly for some in the West like the Neo Cons and Israelites their biggest asset has been removed which is presumably why Bin was allowed to be kept alive next door to an elite Pakistani Military Academy which coincidentally allowed the US military industrial complex to be recipients of $1 trillion since 9/11. In addition, the Pakistan Military has grown rich and fat on Western military "aid" which will now dry up as we in the West both Muslim and non Muslim focus on the War against Poverty rather than so called "terror"

LM does not celebrate death Muslim or Non Muslim however, a page has been turned with another chapter of Muslim internal change, revolution, freedom and democracy being the new game in town.
