If I may take a moment and clarify my position and the position of most Christians I know on the death of Osama Bin Laden.  We celebrate the removal of evil.  We don't celebrate the death of a non-believer.

I'm overjoyed by Bin Laden's death, but where do Christians draw the line between "acceptable" and "unacceptable" killings? The Catholic Church, for example, has said his death should not be celebrated, although I'm unaware of any official stance on the killing itself.

So serious question: how is allowed to be killed from a Christian viewpoint? A mass murderer? Any murderer on the street?

As said, I support what was done 100% here, but certainly not for any religious reasons.

Angela Merkel is now receiving some flak from her own party for publicly expressing "joy" over Bin Laden's death.  The criticism follows the line of the Vatican's recent statement: It's un-Christian to feel joy over the death of another person.

Sometimes I think they look for things to get upset about here.

Austrian newspapers have released pictures of the killed people in the Osama house today.
