DEVELOPING: Usama bin Laden was given a religious funeral prior to his burial at sea, senior military officials told Fox News.

Religious rites were conducted on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier at about 1:10 a.m. Monday in the Persian Gulf.

In accordance with Islamic practice, bin Laden was washed and wrapped in a white sheet before buried at sea at 2 p.m. local time, senior U.S. military and intelligence officials said.

"So they washed him before dumping him into the ocean?"

In Islam, the washing of the body is very important - when it's done and when it's not done. It's not done when the dead body is that of a martyr that of a martyr - a Muslim that has died on the battlefield as a warrior of Islam. In fact, a Martyr is suppose to be buried in his bloodied clothes, which is something else the DoD didn't do - quite on purpose.

The DoD, in carefully washing the body by another Muslim, is - to many people in the Muslim world - keeping Osama from becoming a Martyr.

Who in the world suggests that this is the only alternative?

The WH. They are the ones calling the shots. They said they were going to give him to a foriegn country but nobody wanted him. Because they put this silly 24hr window on it for muslim sensitivities, they had only one choice. Of the two options, this is the better. What other options did you hear Obummers people give other than these?

Bin Laden’s either a true Muslim or he’s not.

Bad message to send to the Islamic world.

Saddam’s burial was anti-climactic because we saw him being dragged out of the spider hole and captured and then we saw him being hanged.

We have no evidence of dead Osama, and burial at sea as it turns out is not an islamic custom.

A lot doesn’t add up about the current charade, except the way it is being played for political gain by obama.

“The man should have been displayed in front of reporters for them to verify and for the muslims to see for evidence not a religious prayer service and he GOP had better raise this crap too”

I tend to agree with you. Bush showed us the evidence. Obozo should also. He won’t because that would show disrespect for his fellow muzzies. He’d much rather disrespect Americans every chance he gets. One of is comments from his statement Sun, and I can’t remember the exact wording, completely pissed on the sacrifices of the soldiers who have given life and limb in this war. Essentially he said his actions regarding OBL were the most important achievement in the war.
Next, please don’t hold your breath waiting for the Republican leadership to lead. The national crier has already come out publicly equating Obozo to General MacArthur.
Sorry to add to our collective feelings of nausea.

no need to say sorry FRiend. I've not met one person since this happened which has agreed to him being sent to a ship and given a nice respectful religious sending off. Infact most got really pissed off and angry where as some others did not even know about it. I have not been watching the MSM but I take it from what I can gather is that the MSM are not really talking about obama respecting this scumbag

Gents,

This demeans you both. Manc and I disagree about this and have had a good private discussion, but we are not going to fight in public about it.

The b*stard is dead and shark food. Take joy in that.

“washed and wrapped in white sheet”

They didn’t use water, but the body was washed. The white sheets were from Charmin.

I can dream, can’t I?

Thanks KansasGirl.

I am thinking this whole OBL thing has more to do with Trump’s pressure than anyone realizes (including myself).

Birth cert released and a few days later OBL is dead?

I don’t like Trump for president but it seems more than a coincidence to me

?

.... yeah, sum’m like that.

I am, of course, referring to those tragic souls who jumped from the towers - - that we should have accorded UBL the same ‘exit’ from life.
And taped his eyes open first.

(Does ‘747’ refer to the plane, BAC)??

‘-———from the Empire State Building.’

I posted a comment (333) before I completely read this thread.
See we’re thinking of the same edifice - - -

.............OR !, cut the bastard up into 3,000 pieces, wrap each one in bacon, freeze, place in styrofoam dry ice box for preservation, and send one each to nearest relative of each 911 victim..............

and, send an invoice to Pakistan for 3 billion, that would be one million to each family of 911 victims...........

US Servicemen being forced to wash that bastard and treat him with dignity is ridiculous. If I was the Admiral in Charge, I would have fallen on my sword FIRST !
