ABC News' Jake Tapper reports here and here on the Obama administration giving Osama bin Laden a Muslim-led Islamic burial at sea so as not to "inflame" the Muslim world.
...The SEALS shot the terrorist leader dead after he refused to surrender.
Bin Laden's corpse was taken to Afghanistan to have his DNA tested for positive identification. The body was then flown to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, officials told ABC News and he was buried at sea. The burial was done in accordance with Islamic law, officials said. A Muslim seaman conducted the process and said the prayers, with bin Laden's body wrapped in the "appropriate way."
Obama administration officials said it was important to handle the body in accordance with Islamic practices so not to inflame the Muslim world.
Really. My attitude is if the Muslim world wanted to ensure a proper Islamic burial for bin Laden they should have killed him and buried him.
I can't wait for the video of our non-Muslim sailors forced to stand at attention as bin Laden is dumped overboard.
Yeah , sure we do not want to inflame those poor innocent, mooselimbs..../s
Blah!
Trying to spread the word. I heard on KFI radio here in L.A. a short time ago (Fox radio news) that admin officials confirmed the OBL death photo circulated last night is a fake. NO OFFICIAL EVIDENCE HAS BEEN RELEASED YET TO PROVE OBL IS, IN FACT, DEAD. Time to agitate for release of official evidence. Critical.
Bfl.
Heh.
What nation were these so-called “Muslim seaman” from? And just as critical, to whom and to what do they owe their first allegiance?
What would be wrong with en-flaming the whole muslim world.....heh....
We didn’t do that in fear of what the muzlims would say. Anyone reading what Drudge is reporting the muzlims are saying? It still wasn’t good enough for them and they will retaliate. They should have done what you suggest and then posted the video. Then tell them every muzlim killed in the future will get the same treatment. They should show an ammo manufacturer sloping bacon grease on our shells for bullet lube.
The Seals would never lie..and they eye balled him. A six foot five Arab is rather rare and they also kept DNA evidence..I hear it was an ear and some internal organs.
PC at its finest. When will the next Fort Hood-style attack occur?
They did not bury him in the ocean. He is right next to John Dillinger’s you know what.
he was not interested in showing the body or evidence because he wanted to put UBL to rest according to islamic law
Now the GOP had better raise this and do it and then do not stop if they bring how they got him up
Americans have chosen. No one has the balls to do what is necessary: stop immigration and encourage all the muslims currently here to leave. But, we get ridiculous farces called security to make Americans used to being treated like terrorists and criminals.
Americans chose this. The end of America is certain, as that's what most Americans' decisions lead to.
lets think about this for everyone.
I’m not saying he is not dead at all so lets clear that up before someone jumps up with the names as usual
We know he is dead becaussssseeee, obama told us.
They do not want to release any photos, video’s etc yet which is not good as we cannot convince the millions around the world when we have no evidence .
Now which pisses me off to no end and others when I bring this up is.
Why the hell did obama respect UBL’s islamic law?
This is plain nuts and someone said this morning, well what do you want have him on the lawn at the white house which was a stupid post.
No but the body could have been taken elsewhere and shown to a group of reporters like the AP, CNN, FOX and especially Al Jazeera.
Now from their view all they know is that the white house said so .
As if killing him won’t inflame the Muslim world all by itself.
Heck, the Muslim world gets all inflamed about a lot of minor things. They seem to have no difficulty getting inflamed by just about anything. Yet Obama thinks we’ll keep them from getting inflamed by washing the monster’s body and dumping it in the ocean.
Once a fool, always a fool.
Besides, this order makes the U. S. look weak and conciliatory again, and that alone will spark more attacks. Count on it.
Have you heard from any Seals? Also, the administration owes it to the American people to produce incontrovertible proof. Not so much to ask with a story this huge, is it.
The Kor-animals will be furious regardless of what we do. Therefore, we should have gone for shock effect: grind OBL into hamburger and fed it to the pigs. He would ultimately have become pig doodoo trodden into the dirt by cloven hooves — a fitting end.
I agree. The only reason to give someone a “proper burial” is out of respect for that person and their soul, period. Don’t do it because you fear stirring up a whole religion of already angry whackos. It’s not going to make any difference. If giving bin Laden a proper burial was to keep from inflaming the muzzies, why did we have to increase our security precautions?
