…This is pretty simple, do you really think we buried Bin Laden at sea?

    They buried him at sea..but before that they cut off his head, stuffed it, and gave it to Bush to mount on his wall next to the moosehead.

    LOL--no, but as S&L said, I do think he went into the water headless

    You can guard it on land. Or dispose of it (cremation).

    Yes

    It would unlikely. But not impossible.

    Maybe it wasn't even him but one of his decoys. He could still be sitting on a beach in Miami sipping on a Vodka and Red Bull while posting on the OC from his iPhone.

    Right. Because his decoy would have the same DNA.

    id say impossible. ever hear of the missing h-bomb? during the cold war the US was doing test runs, with live nuclear bombs on the planes. something happened and a jet collided with one of the planes carrying the h-bomb. the bomb had to be dropped in the ocean just off of the coast of georgia so that the plane could land safely. they know the exact location where the plane dropped the bomb and decades later they still cannot find it.

    I know. It just seems you would prefer a 100% fool-proof way. Why not cremate?

    So what does Muslim law say? Kind of surprised that burial at sea is allowed, though I suppose some sort of accommodation for sailors had to be made.

    And I would guess they have a few vials of blood stored away somewhere. Again, however, not sure that is allowed under Muslim law.

    All i have heard is within 24 hours Gut......within 24 hours of death they must be buried.

    I imagine they had every angle covered on what to do with the body within Muslin customs. Obama would have made sure of that......

    Then what to do with the ashes? Burial at sea is the one way that there is no burial site to serve as a shrine.

    Whatever you want. Use it in the concrete mix for the new Twin Towers?

    I'm sure Muslim law prevents you from disposing of the ashes as you see fit. Even if not, to desecrate the ashes would just be a horrible political move.

    Hmmm, but dumping the body overboard is ok? Seems weird to me. I don't think it's a big deal, just thought there were other ways.

    If you go back centuries to the days of mercantilism and so forth, I'm sure Muslim law has to accommodate death at sea, meaning burial at sea is acceptable according to ritual.

    And to that point, I suppose they could have cremated him (again, no idea what Muslim law says about cremation) and spread the ashes in any respectful manner. From a logistics standpoint, getting the body to a crematorium and following ritual isn't really feasible.

    ...I would like to think we did all the right things b/4 his burial at sea.
    In accordance with Muslin burial rituals, the whole body cleansing is performed first, then making sure he faces east when the body is lowered into the sea and finally having his dick cut off & shoved up his ass.

    Good point. May not be able to cremate within 24 hours.

    I don't give a crap if they gave hime a "proper muslim burial" or not!! I would have wrapped him in a blanket of bacon and stuffed him in a dead pig with his head at the pigs ass and shoved him over board!!

    A burial at sea under Muslim law is only OK under the event that the person dies at sea, or they can't find anyone to accept the remains and give them a proper Muslim burial.

    EXACTLY--why the hell do we care if he's given a proper burial or not? were the passengers on Flight 93 given a proper burial?? how about those who were vaporized in the WTC collapse??? this is the kind of shit that burns my ass!!!!
