Bin Laden is Dead

I haven't followed the news on this at all because I don't really care because I don't really think it's going to make anything change, as a result I never bothered checking, but did they offer some solid proof this actually happened?

 

No, probably never will either.

 

I just remembered something I read somewhere: some religious scholars pointed out that the way in which they disposed of the body was not in accordance with Islamic traditions. Does anyone know anything about that?

 

Sounds right, burials at sea only permitted if the person dies on a ship, and the correct burial procedure wasn't followed. Also taking a tissue sample for the DNA test would not be allowed.

So, they weren't following Muslim funeral rituals, so there must have been another reason for dumping the body, wonder what that could be?

Simple, to stop shrines popping up around the burial site, and/or to stop people from digging up the corpse as some sort of trophy?

 

Not everything is a conspiracy.

 

Exactly. I don't have the link on me right now, but the US offered the corpse to Saudi Arabia and they refused on those grounds. Knowing no one else will accept the body, they did the next best thing and buried him at sea. Buried, not dumped in the ocean.

Looks legit.

 

A distinction without a difference.

 

Makes a slight difference if you're factoring what America said about doing it according to Islamic tradition.

can the mangled corpse images be stuck in spoilers guys? Not something I really want to see late at night... (and isnt this a "family safe" forum?)

 

Anyways, on topic, he's dead. Not gonna stop the "terror" plight, but well, at least that's one less piece of work hiding in the shadows

Or better yet, just don't post them. If I want to see a corpse, I'll Google it, but for now I'm good.

Apparently Obama and his administration has decided against releasing the pictures. I can understand the conspiracy believers (read: crazy people Mad Monkey) will just say this proves they didn't kill him, but those pictures Mr-Paul linked suggest I'm better off not seeing the pictures.

 

It would only incite more trouble anyway.
