Reuters Celebrates bin Laden's Birthday

It was bad enough Reuters counted the 9/11 hijackers as victims earlier this week, today they're passing along birthday wishes to Osama bin Laden.

Osama bin Laden, if he's alive, celebrates his 50th birthday on Saturday, and his friends in the Taliban prayed for his long life.

The al Qaeda leader's long silence has fueled speculation that the world's most-wanted fugitive may have died, though many in the international intelligence community reckon Islamist militant Web sites would circulate word of his death.

"He is alive. I am 100 percent sure," Taliban spokesman Mullah Hayatullah Khan told Reuters, adding that senior leaders were in touch with bin Laden, reinforcing a widely held view that he is hiding near the rugged Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Surely they're celebrating quietly at CAIR headquarters.

Osama, of course, won't be "celebrating" at all. Under sharia law, birthday parties are forbidden and considered poisonous Western inventions.
