and because the dead body is regarded as garbage, nothing more

Then why was the US government so concerned that Bin Laden got a proper Muslim burial?

It was necessary for the maintaining of the illusion that Obama died in downtown Pakistan rather than at Tora Bora. Our pols are all into that promotion of whatever it is that the Moslems want as much as the mullahs and the imams are. For those who are not desirous of a moslem state it is just that if they can get enough moslems in the country they make a reliable and solid voting bloc. The French experience shows this in spades. Moslems decide many important elections now. It is happening in England, too. They don’t have to be even a large minority to have that effect. 7 or 8% is sufficient.

Because they didn't want anyone to see the body. So that leads to the next question....
