60% Americans say wrong to celebrate Osama's death

May 12, 2011

Meanwhile, an amazing six in 10 Americans find it was wrong to celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden, says a poll. Around 60 per cent of Americans believe the Bible's admonition not to "rejoice when your enemies fall" applies to how Americans should react to bin Laden's death.

And more than 8-in-10 (82 per cent) Americans agree that bin Laden distorted the teachings of Islam to suit his own purposes.
