Arab Americans, Muslims rejoice at death of bin Laden

DETROIT -- Muslims and Arab-Americans across this area -- one of the largest and oldest Arab-American communities in the U.S. -- rejoiced at the news that Osama bin Laden was killed

"The world is definitely a better place without the patron of all terrorists," said Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Mich., the largest mosque in a city with the highest concentration of Arab-Americans in the country. Qazwini called bin Laden "the world's most infamous thug."

"It is so comforting to see justice being served while the families of the thousands of his victims rejoice," he said.

Ibrahim Aljahim, 29, of Detroit, said of bin Laden: "He never represented Muslims or anyone else."
