JihadWatch: Al-Azhar says sea burial of Osama bin Laden a "sin" |
2011-05-03 |
The most influential Islamic institution among Sunni Muslims condemns the sea burial of Osama bin Laden. Obama took pains to make sure that Osama would get a proper Islamic burial, but since he wanted to bury the body quickly (in accord with Islamic law) and couldn't find a country that would take the body (and probably also didn't want to create a place of pilgrimage and anti-American agitation), he buried him at sea. He was trying to show the Islamic world that the U.S. is not at war with Islam, but ended up enraging Muslims anyway -- demonstrating yet again that dhimmi pandering gets nowhere. |

#9 B Dubya: Technical point. Pershing himself did not order that. He had some subordinate generals that were very hard men, however, and it was done at their orders. For further, entertaining information, check out "General Order Number 100", aka "The Lieber Code", first written during the US Civil War, and applied "liberally" during the Philippine Insurrection. And be sure to check out the Wiki biographies of Major General J. Franklin Bell and Major General Littleton "Tony" Waller Tazewell Waller. |

#8 "Lieutenant, has the body been prepared in accordance with sacred Muslim ritual?" "Yes, sir." "Outstanding. Now bring me five pounds of bacon and the largest can of lard the galley has." |

#5 "Daddy, when they said the mean man was buried at sea did they flush him down the potty like my goldfish?" "We can only hope dear." |

#4 Good. I hope they critique and nitpick and rage away. Maybe B.O. will start realizing that no matter what he does, he will be regarded as a crusader kufr just as much as any of us juices or bitter clingers. |

#3 He wasn't buried, he was dumped overboard. Like trash. Feel better now? |

#2 It seems points are deducted when the buriers aren't a prepare Muslim authority... just like non-Muslims don't get to pronounce judgement on Allah's face believers, or fight back when attacked. A pity those uppity American dhimmis refuse to take this critical concept on board. |

#1 I think that we should have done a Black Jack Pershing number on him, and buried him in a pit filled with pig blood and offal, with photographs and one or two live assymetric warriors (translates as murderous, cowardly dogs) to go home and spread the good word. Seemed to calm down the Moros for decades after. Can't get those 21 virgins all covered in pig blood, eh Achmed? |
