US treating Osama bin Laden's body in "accordance with Islamic practice"

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."

Show me the body..

I would like to see pictures, but he's dead. al-Queda is threatening reprisals. Reprisals for what? They know he's dead also.

The muzzies will find any reason to retaliate. I do find the “buried at sea” to be suspect until a complete timeline is given

No shrine to rally around for the Muslims.

I feel that terrorists should be buried with pork products. For real. If we catch you, this is your fate. Let them think about it.

I totally agree. We know they have an aversion to pigs and dogs. There is no reason we should not exploit this in every way possible. Make it known that pork rinds will be served on all flights. That harmless practice may actually save lives and the cost is minimal.

His body will be buried in an undisclosed place to minimize reactions to his death and prevent shrines of any kind from being erected," would have done nicely. Yes sir.

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

This was mt thought as well. Use the death photos to build a diorama showcasing UBL’s death. With a sign that says;

“This is what happens to people who murder Americans.”

For some reason, Muslims don’t like dogs, either.

Heck, even Hitler liked dogs.

I’ll wager that dogs don’t like Muslims at all.

The SOB should have been hanged from the Brooklyn Bridge and left there like the Muslims did to our American Service Members in Irack.

I later read that the body had been flown to a carrier, where all the identification procedures were done before O went for his last swim. They would be able to do the DNA sampling there, and they probably already had the DNA profile from Boston. I assume they confirmed identity by fingerprints and dental records too, but DNA is the clincher these days. It also helps that O was 6’4” tall. Don’t get many of those in Sandland.

But Dear Leader said in his remarks last night that Bin Laden wasn’t a Muslim. He was a mass murderer. So why the sensitivity?

Classic Obama, eh? Everything with him is all story and no substance, at least none that doesn’t shift with the wind. It gives another option to what ‘Obama’ means in his native Kenyan: shyster.
