Bin Laden Given Religious Funeral Prior to Sea Burial

I just want to know why the US would use him for an excuse to invade Afghanistan, spend billions of dollars and human lives looking for him, and after ten years they get him and then dump him overboard to feed the fish. I mean how stupid can we be...

That's what seems odd to me.

I'm getting irritable;

This is either disinformation for security purposes,

or, Another demonstration of the "elitist" mentality of the current administration.

Show the pictures!!

I would trust a crack dealer on a street corner in Oakland before I would trust our government.

{Looking inanely for a prescedent}

It so happens that Col. Klink (Werner Klemperer

who led an exemplary life outside of "Hogans Heroes")

as well as Adolph Eichman (good riddance),

were also buried at sea....

UBL was not a follower of Islam, so bona fide grade A Muslims (I speak for all of them) wouldn't have wasted even the sheet on him. much less make sure he got an Islamic send off.

Osama himself claimed to be a Muslim. Who are you to suddenly declare he's not a Muslim or follower of Islam? US military was under no obligation to give the deceased Osama a burial according to Islam or their whim. They should have followed standard military procedures (if there is one) for disposing of a body in the ocean. End of story.

I only acknowledge and accept the good things that happen in Islam to be of Islam.

I'm somebody who doesn't accept him as a Muslim, and I can do that. Who are you to question that I did? He sure as hell wasn't a follower of Islam. He was an evil SOB, and we are ll better off with him sleeping with the fishes.

So, there.

bin Laden didn't happen "in Islam" or "of Islam".
