[Avodah] Picture of Bin Ladin - a thought

> And where does not having pictures of tamei animals fit into this equation?

Considering that the RBSO has the Nevi'im "describing" his "throne" as
standing on Tamei animals  (Eagle and Lion), I do not understand those
who oppose such pictures.

We also have Tana'im comparing positive character traits to Tamei
animals (Eagle, Leopard and Lion), and many classic Halacha Seforim
start with that, including the SA OC.

And - on a lighter note - don't forget that the Holy Hat is made from
Tamei animals; the fedora from Rabbits (one of the few Tamei animals
mentioned by name in the Torah) and the Shtreimel and Spodik from
beavers or similar. Thou Shall Not Be Seen in Public without a Tamei
animal hat on your head!  :-)
