Bin Laden's death marks a key historical juncture, in that it offers us an opportunity to break away from the polarizing, divisive atmosphere he helped ignite and the paranoia and fear-mongering we unfortunately allowed to ensue in our culture as a result of it. For almost a decade, we have played into bin Laden's hands by allowing him and his outfit to dominate our national discourse on Islam and Muslims.

"It [Bin Ladens' death] brings closure for the families of 9/11, and all Americans, and hopefully brings closure on an era," said Rehab. "I hope now we can usher in a new era that focuses more on the Arab Spring which is the reality now, and less on the so-called War on Terror."

"It is a double-edged sword and it has to be balanced out against the conspiracy theories that are likely to come out if there is no evidence provided by the government that this was Osama bin Laden," says Rehab.

"I think Obama should issue proof to the public that this was indeed bin Laden. We don't need to see gory photos. We don't need to put ourselves in a worse spot in terms of our national security, and so the DNA report, rather than the photos, can accomplish that," said Ahmed Rehab.
