…With Liberty and Justice for All.

Después de estudiar un poco la materia de pedagogía familiar para mi examen, me he dado un descanso y ,en los comentarios que llegan a mi correo sobre el encuentro del Blogs en el Vaticano 2011  o también llamado en ingles "Vatican Blog Meeting 2011",  encontré datos de un blog donde su creador tiene origen americano. He de reconocer que sigo pocos blogs americanos cuando se trata de criterio o de opinión, ciertamente por algún prejuicio que debo de superar (ya que los prejuicios van en contra de todo crecimiento humano) y sobre todo por que tengo pocos amigos o conocidos americanos que escriban sobre su testimonio de vida, humildad, opinión y vida de piedad (aunque no significa que mis amigos americanos, no sean ilustrados o educados, simplemente escriben sobre otras cosas no menos importante, pero diferentes).

He escrito sobre lo acontecido con Osama (no confundir con Obama), y he estado buscando además de los blogs que usualmente sigo, un criterio desde un afectado directamente para entender la postura y conocer la opinión, en mi correo hace unas horas lo encontré, desde el blog: http://fromthepews.org/ ,dejo este escrito, no sin antes comentar que ya he agregado este sitio a mis favoritos ya que además de ser un sitio refrescante es honesto y humilde, bien por "From The Pews". (En cuanto a mis prejuicios es increíble como la vida y las personas de fe, si pones atención, y sobre todo Dios, hace que cambies las estructuras emocionales que la experiencia te ha dejado, para volver a tener esperanza en ésa parte de tu corazón).

 

Justice is Done

President Barack Obama’s words as he addressed the Citizens of the United States after they proclaimed Osama Bin Laden was Dead sounded so meaningless when I heard the news.

Justice for Whom ? I asked myself.  As Catholics we are taught to Love the Sinner not the Sin.  This is a very difficult teaching which I myself have a tough if not impossible time with.  My gut reaction to the news was “Finally, They Got Him”.  Then the reality sank in.  I am not saying that everyone should Forgive Bin Laden.  Far From it.  I would not be able to.  What I am struggling with is how Obama can claim that Justice is Done ?

The American media ran footage of people waving American flags and holding banners with the line delivered by the President.  Whether it was Retaliation, Retribution, Revenge or Justice – one point was clear.  Bin Laden is Dead.

So Where is the Justice ?

Bin Laden will Not Stand Trial for his Crimes and take responsibility for the many he has killed.

He will not face the surviving family members of the September 11 Attacks and see the pain and devastation he has caused to so many innocent people.

He won’t have to look each person in the eye and explain why he murdered their loved ones without just cause.

He will not have to answer to the Worldwide Muslim community in regards to his hijacking of Islam and the Islamophobia that has followed the World Trade Centre Attacks.  I firmly believe this would have helped to greatly in repairing the Image of Islam, especially in the Western Hemisphere.  His Followers might have had to take a second look at their Beliefs.

Instead Christians and Muslims remain divided.  In the Middle East where Christians are already persecuted,  it will only get worse.  The Government of Pakistan issued alerts to Christians to be wary of reprisals.

One Obama Aide was quoted as saying the president made one of the  “…gutsiest calls of any president in recent memory”.  The president was even quoted as saying “We Got ‘Em”.

On Monday, Obama said,  ”I think we can all agree this is a good day for America. Our country has kept its commitment to see that justice is done. The world is safer; it is a better place because of the death of Osama bin Laden.”

Really ?….Safer ?….  What you have is a bullet riddled corpse. 

Osama got off Scot Free….He’s Now a Martyr to His Followers….who rather than seeing their corruption of Islam for what it truly is, now believe in it even more strongly than before.

The world isn’t any safer today then when Bin Laden was alive.

For Every Osama Bin Laden, there are 10 Others ready and willing to take his place and Die in the name of their twisted view of Islam.

These Militant Muslims Must Stand Trial for their Crimes.  Their Beliefs must be exposed and explained to all Citizens of the World – Regardless of Religion.  They must be made to take responsibility for their actions  They must answer to their Fellow Peace Loving Muslims as to the desecration of Islam.  Only then can any Justice be Done.

If they don’t the World will Remain as Dangerous as Ever.
