A man in Florida payed 10$ to put the name of Osama Bin Laden on the roster of people to be prayed for at the next service of his church.

the reaction was equally predictable, funny and ironic:

A devout Florida Catholic sparked some hellfire among members of his church after he asked them to pray for the soul of Osama Bin Laden.
"He needs forgiveness and compassion from God," Borga told WPTV television.
Borga said he got the idea to pray for Bin Laden's soul after he saw television footage of people celebrating the announcement of Bin Laden's death on May 1.

The devout Catholic said he also wanted people to pray for the families of 9/11 victims, but some parishioners didn't care.
"I think it's totally wrong, [Bin Laden] doesn't belong in the Catholic religion. For what he did to Americans, he doesn't belong anywhere," church member Luis Pizzano told the station. "It's unconscionable, it's sacrilegious."
"Let's pray for our soldiers that are over there, not for somebody that caused our soldiers to go over there," Pizzano added.

But some churchgoers said they'd back Borga.

Father Gavin Badway said the church had a policy of honoring all prayer requests.

"Some people, from their emotions, don't want us to pray for him. I can understand that, but we cannot do that," Badway said. "We are to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us."
