"One is on a long voyage where the body may decay before the ship reaches land. The other is if there is a risk of enemies digging up a land grave and exhuming or mutilating the body – a rule that could plausibly be applied in Bin Laden's case." I suppose this will raise some questions from birther types that want to see the body. But I appreciate that they adhered to Islamic traditions for burial that required that the body be buried within 24 hours. And his grave will not become a shrine, although it is not Wahhabi/Salafi tradition to enshrine their dead.
First, I'm glad the SOB is dead...two, yes it was good that they buried him within the 24 hours as per islamic law...three, they didn't exactly follow the law as per burial at see...A burial at see is only allowed if the death happenned at sea, they should have buried him in an unmarked grave with his head facing Mecca if they truely wanted to follow Islamic Law...I understand that we don't want a site for Myrterdom, but that could have been done with an unmarked grave...aa I said a burial at sea is only allowed if the death happens at sea and if it does they are suppose to go to the nearest land and proceed with the burial...as a friend of mine said...die on land, land burial...die at sea, sea burial Truthfully, I hope that they stuffed a piece of Pork into his mouth prior to dropping him into the waters A BIGGER QUESTION IS....WHAT DID PAKISTAN KNOW?...THIS EXPENSIVELY BUILT COMPOUND WITH SOME 18 FOOT WALLS had to be known by the pakistani government....

I'm gonna keep saying that as annoying as it might get.
