Was it right to kill Osama Bin Laden?
Following the announcement of the death of the leader of Al-Qaeda, some are now questioning was it right to kill Osama Bin Laden?
Now that Bin Laden is dead, newspapers and news channels are discussing the morals and ethics of killing an unarmed man. The Leader of the Church of England, The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams voiced the concerns of many when he said:
“I think the killing of an unarmed man is always going to leave a very uncomfortable feeling, because it doesn’t look as if justice is seen to be done in those circumstances.
I think it’s also true that the different versions of events that have emerged in recent days have not done a great deal to help here. “
Indeed, many Christians, while understandably wanting the world to become a safer place with the removal of Bin Laden, this is at odds with their belief that killing is wrong.
Some believe that Bin Laden was not killed on May 02, 2011 and that he is still alive. Others, that he died years ago. Others, that he was not buried at sea, as announced by The White House, but that his body has been retained by the American Government.
Whatever you believe, Bin Laden is Dead – Was It Right To Kill Osama Bin Laden? provides the opportunity to participate in polls and debate the issue.
