    I was honestly waiting to see someone burning an afghan or iraq flag, but being Americans they probably didn't know what they looked like.

    I kid, I kid. Or do I?? :lol:
    :lol: No, you don't. :( :oops:

    I might be wrong about this but I do know that many of the Muslim faith believe that i dead body must be buried in 1 day. Maybe someone here can confirm or deny that.

    If it is true things become more difficult. what do you do? do you follow that believe or don't so that you can show more proof.

    I believe this to be true. I would have rather we dug a hole in the ground so no one would find him. If he get's a proper burial it becomes a holy site for his believers, which I will take a burial at sea over. Sooo, shallow grave never to be found > burial at sea > leaving body to be buried on its own

    I saw somewhere on cnn, I think, that it actually happened like a week ago and they have done DNA testing to make sure before they 'buried' him. ??

    We were having our morning coffee and yes JB and I both looked at each other like right.....

    he said something about throwing him out of a chopper over the ocean though :lol:

    I'm pretty sure it also said none of our men were injured in a 45 minute gun battle :?
    that sounded unbelievable to me

    Forgive me in advance Godfather because my intention is not to be a prick

    BUT

    His (Osama's) plan, which you, a man from the united states with an interest in FOX news, knows that the 'plan' was to kill 1 million Americans. A total sum divided up between men, women & children. C'mon man. Was he going to stop after he reached his amazing mark of one million ? A ridiculous train of thought. No offense

    I bet if you were to sit down with Osama (in another life now) he would not agree with you that he had been living like a rodent.

    We live like rodents Godfather. Look around!

    Me and my relatives have a joke about rodents, rats for that matter.
    We will slowly die like rats (when talking about tough economic conditions).

Otherwise, after giving Ghusl, Hunut, Kafan and Namaz-e-Mayyit it should be lowered into the sea in a vessel of clay or with a weight tied to its feet. And as far as possible it should not be lowered at a point where it is eaten up immediately by the sea predators.

    I wonder if 'they' chummed the water first. Some 19 year old U.S. soldiers are game for a little chummin', would you think ?

    Imagine they baited him and actually fished with his body parts off the side of a vessel. It wouldn't surprise me.

    sorry Godfather but i think osama couldnt kill 1 million people,but he did something more important...
    to make feel people fear,especially the west world,,to feel fear that they are helpless at their own home..
    thats how we all felt when we saw the attack the the towers :( ..fear..

    A week ago? And I did read something about linking DNA to a sister who died of cancer, but it's still in testing phases. How long does it take to get a DNA report?

    Another thing... why did they choose to kill him rather than wound him in order to capture him? That would seem more feasible AND believable...

    this whole "buried at sea" because he's a muslim stuff is really dodgy
    i'm a muslim but that doesn't mean i have to go be buried at sea
    it's preferred that you are prepared for burial by a family member (which was out of the question here) and washed, wrapped in a cloth and then buried, as soon as possible after death
    It is preferred for a Muslim to be buried where he or she died, and not be transported to another location or country (which may cause delays or require embalming the body).
    it's preferred that you're buried on land too, except in circumstances when you cannot get to land. then you are buried deep in the sea - to prevent any sea animals digging your body up.
    i'm not the most knowledgeable and there will probably be stuff that i don't know but still..to say that he needs to be buried at sea because of his faith isn't accurate. at all.

    after letting what happened sink in, and then reading lots of stuff, watching the news - i am worried, definitely, for the future, for revenge attacks from those members of Al-Qaeda that are still left.
    Celebrating death is ignorant and while I completely understand and share in the feeling of relief that many Americans feel, we all know that this is NOT the end of terrorism. And it is probably the start of something new- i really fear more attacks on the west from angered and revenge seeking jihadists and such
    I don't know if it's right for us to celebrate the killing of someone, to justify the killings of others? I suppose yes because what he did was much more but was a trial out of the question? Was it impossible to capture him and then see from there?
    The world is a place full of suffering, death and sorrow already.

    I wasn't questioning if he was buried at sea. I totally understand why it happened.

    I think the "yeah right" is what is crazy. We will get the proof. No doubt about it.

    I'm not really sure, but not nearly as long as it used to. I would think they could probably get it back in a week considering the priority this probably has. Again, I didn't read the whole thing, but that was a headline comment on the story when I briefly glanced at cnn. Also, I think he was killed in a fire fight, so capturing him was out I guess.

    I have a feeling that if your the American government who just got the guy who took down the towers you can get a DNA test pretty fast.

    as for the killing him rather than capturing him, i think we have wait for more info. i have never been in a war but many people i know have been and they say that sometimes capturing a person is not possible.

    From all I've read and heard it all happened in one day, he was killed the same day Obama made the announcement.

    And I don't think they chose to kill him. I highly doubt Osama would ever let that happen, he was gonna go down fighting no matter what. The was said to be a 45 minute gun battle.

    I don't know. This is what's sketchy...

    -The sea burial
    -No proof
    -No capture
    -No Americans injured in this so-called incident
    -They torched the compound

    I could go on.

    I just think it's very important that we QUESTION everything we hear from the U.S. government and not just blindly believe everything we hear.

    Everything I've heard as to the burial at sea is not because of religion but because they didn't want him buried in a place that would become a terrorist shrine. Apparently the body was offered to the Saudis but they didn't want it. So the best place was the sea.

    I'm not surprised our guys were not hurt, they are the best, Navy SEALS.

    I've also heard reports that he was given a chance to surrender but chose to fight it out. There is footage of the assault. Now the immediate burial at sea, I don't think he is. I'm guessing he is really on ice somewhere. It smells fishy, plus the torching of the compound? Wouldn't they go over that place with a fine toothed comb for weeks to extract info/intel first?

    Yeah...we're not getting the whole story. Bits and pieces, fragments. Weird. It actually kind of makes sense if it was a week ago, and they wanted to do testing...and then, now, they announce it after all that's done to make it appear as though the sea thing was within one day. Nobody really knows wth is going on other than he's supposedly dead. Par for the course.

    Well it's all still pretty fresh, and broke pretty late at night in America. I'm pretty sure all of the facts and details will come out in the next few days. Obviuosly the American government know they are gonna have to prove it is him not only to their citizens but the whole world. And I'm sure they have enough evidence to prove this if the body has already been disposed of.
