I thought it was crass and insensitive.

Human beings have the capability for empathy. USE IT! We can believe that the correct actions were taken without celebrating in the street. We don't need to add fuel to the fire. We should be confident in our actions without showing others up.

Do you think others look foolish when celebrating a death? Well guess what, we look foolish too.

I'm sure some will attack me on this, so attack away...
I was/am pro-Mosque, but calling the cheering "insensitive" is ridiculous. Insensitive to who? The people who liked him because he wanted us dead?

I do agree celebrating his death is bad form, but not insensitive. I can only imagine how many "pro-lifers" cheered at the news, too.
