But now there’s apparently an ‘uproar’ because in accordance with Islam a body should never be buried at sea unless the body won’t last the journey back to land. Hmm, don’t really think anyone should be bemoaning that fact, I think most people consider him ‘fortunate’ to have had any funeral rites at all.

		By Islamic religion, the body must be buried within 24 hours of death and must be returned to the family. Since the parents live in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia wanted NOTHING to do with Bin Laden's body, it was buried at sea within 24 hours after death. They ran a DNA test to confirm his identity.      tasnam1 wrote: Budred - thought the same thing!!!

I can hear the conspiracy theories already. Pictures can be faked so it will be interesting to see how they prove it.
