And the Answer Is...(drum roll).....Fish Food!!!

Why did they bury bin Laden at sea?

"The decision to dispose of the body at sea, experts say, came out of a concern that a gravesite might become a shrine to the terrorist who masterminded the 9/11 attacks. Besides, U.S. officials said, no country seemed eager to become the final resting place for bin Laden’s remains. Even his native Saudi Arabia is reported to have refused to accept what was left of him.

And though the decision to dispose of him at sea was dictated by pragmatism, according to the official narrative, the burial did not neglect cultural sensitivity. Though Muslims usually lay their dead to rest in the ground with the head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca, U.S. officials say that bin Laden’s body was washed and shrouded according to the Islamic rite, and the burial occurred less than 24 hours after death, as prescribed by tradition.

Yet toeing the line between practicality and political correctness has landed the White House at the centre of criticism. Soon after details of the burial began circulating, a slew of Muslim clerics and scholars were shaking their heads in disapproval. A burial at sea “runs contrary to the principles of Islamic laws, religious values and humanitarian customs,” said Sheik Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar mosque. Others rejected the notion, circulating on several Western news outlets, that a Muslim’s burial at sea is acceptable in extraordinary circumstances, and the Obama administration’s inability to find a country to take bin Laden’s remains constituted one of those exceptions. That isn’t the case, said Mohammed al-Qubaisi, Dubai’s grand mufti. Some even warned that the handling of bin Laden’s body is an insult to Muslims, and could possibly be grounds for retaliation against American targets."

BULL!! SHIT!!

Any excuse will do, and it matters not how they handled the old psychopathic one's remains, the good Islamist will use it as an excuse to foment more anger and lust for vengeance.

"A Facebook page called “Osama bin Laden NOT DEAD” launched almost immediately, and now counts 925 registered fans."

I wonder how many of those fans could tell us why the sea he was dumped into is called the Arabian Sea? Or what happened to Arab traders who died at sea from the days of the formation of the Arab/Islamic empire to its height and eventual decline or why the Arabs themselves called it the Indian Sea, a land far away by Medieval standards, and difficult to reach overland, or for how many centuries before Mohammed the Arab trader plied these waters? Do those fans know about Ibn Battuta, the Arab Marco Polo, and his sea voyages along the East African coast? Are they aware that even the great Chinese explorer, Cheng Ho, who sailed the eastern seas long before Columbus and Magellan, was a Muslim?

What a crock!!

And please don't even attempt to pretend that sea-faring travelers and traders in the Middle Ages didn't encounter, die from, take advantage of and spread deadly diseases from port to port or would sometimes, when not at port, have to throw human remains over-board. You know, there was this thing about fleas and rats and ships and disease.

As someone in the comments at the first link at the top of this entry said:

"Someone should write a book on what insults muslims... oh wait that would be 1000 pages long, maybe it's easier to write one on what isn't an insult to muslims."

Enough, thank you. If you can't shut up, I wish the MSM would at least quit giving you above the fold exposure. But I'm not holding my breath. If it wasn't for that fact that communicable diseases neither respect political borders, nor recognize nor distinguish between idiocy and insightful analysis, I would wish a pox on Dar al-Islam.
