The United States is treating Osama bin Laden's body in "accordance with Islamic practice," a White House official says.

President Obama announced Sunday night that American forces killed bin Laden in Pakistan and that they took his body afterward. He said no Americans were harmed in the fight.

Asked how bin Laden's body will be treated, a senior administration official told reporters on a conference call that "we are ensuring that is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition."

The official, who refused to be identified, said the matter is "something that we take very seriously, and so, therefore, this is being handled in an appropriate manner."

Thoughts? I am split between thinking this was right (taking the high road)and thinking we should have shown him the same "decency" he showed his victims or giving him the Mussolini approach of putting his body in a city square to spit and piss on

[Dahoser]

How does this square with him being dumped at sea? None of this adds up.

Ridiculous!! Buried at sea is an Islamic custom? I doubt it.

Sorry...Obama is hiding something.

They need to grind this ****er’s body up with the body of a pig in plain view with camera’s rolling.

[Charlespg]

have the SOB stuffed and mounted and put on display in the Smithsonian .

his head stuck on a pole outside the white house would have worked for me also

[Malone LaVeigh]

I don’t know if this complies with islamic traditions, but I hope they chummed the waters before they tossed his worthless carcass overboard.

Is a sea burial against Muslim custom/tradition?

[Doogle]

....?????...cept how did they buried at sea with it facing mecca? He went to the bottom like a sinker. Maybe they just hung it out the side of the copter (the head)

[pabianice]

By tossing his body into the sea, he did not get a Muslim burial. Muslims must be buried on land, in a plain box, with the head facing Mecca. Ol’ binnie ain’t going to get his 72 virgins after all.

[spokeshave]

Hang, drawn and quartered

(with the 4 body parts to San Francisco, Austin Tx, Boston MA and Portland OR)

[angcat]

Did they say what sea?

[MsLady]

Me too. I think the hornets nest is stirred anyway we handle this, so I’m thinking more the latter. Only I would have surrounded him with 72 roasted pigs.

[bigbob]

Buried at sea.

I only hope it was in the Bay of Pigs

[He Rides A White Horse]

I am thinking about Mussolini

String him up at ground zero.

[J40000]

No. This does NOT jive.

They caught him on LAND. You do NOT then take the corpse out to sea if you’re trying to be a good little adversary and follow Islamic rules...

This does NOT work for me.

[gop4lyf]

Bay of Pigs.

[svcw]

Ok, I know it must be out there but all that I am reading about what BHO is saying, he sorta gives credit to the military but thanks himself a lot. He also talks about all the muslims that OBL has killed but I am not reading about the 9/11 victims unless they are referenced as muslims.
Where is he talking about 9/11? Where is the reference to Gittmo intel? Why was OBL dumped in the sea? He has been dead for more than a week, so how are we supposedly treating the animal with muslim respect (which in it self makes me want to vomit).
