How would al Qaeda react to Mormons "baptizing" Osama bin Laden?

Baptizing Bin Laden has happened? Or temples being firebombed? Or just baptizing Muslims posthumously?

Anyways, here be the relevant wiki passages.

"The LDS Church teaches that those in the afterlife who have been baptized by proxy are free to accept or reject the ordinance done on their behalf. Baptism on behalf of a deceased individual is not binding if that individual chooses to reject it in the afterlife."
Anybody at all serious about their study worship of a different faith is going to, after being mildly offended, just laugh this silly custom off. That includes Al Qaeda... but not nearly all the people we like to group as Islamists.

LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter confirmed that someone did perform a proxy baptism for [Obama's mother], but said it was 'counter to Church policy for a church member to submit names for baptism for persons to whom they are not related'."
"Genealogist Bernard Kouchel conducted a search of the International Genealogical Index, and discovered that many well known Jews had been vicariously baptized, including Maimonides, Albert Einstein, and Irving Berlin, without family permission.
Church official D. Todd Christofferson told the New York Times that the church expends massive amounts of resources attempting to purge improperly submitted names, but that it is not feasible to expect the Church to find each and every last one, and that the agreement in 1995 did not place this type of responsibility on the centralized church leadership."

While not impossible, it would basically be a troll who's also a Mormon who did it, not "Mormons".

New Apostolics do it too.

Which is what spawned this thread, yes.
