Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

Best thing is to stay silent ... We should say that Muslims should be buried on one hand, but if there was no human to bury then what? I would sooner like to believe that OBL was killed and his body thrown in the sea than think it was all a hoax and the throwing in the sea was just a matter of convenience - for those who say OBL was killed. Convenience because there is no way evidence for authentication can swing against them.

On the other hand what was not anticipated was the reaction of the Muslims who would stand up and say ... Muslims need to be buried ... deep down in their minds they want to know the truth as well. I just feel powerless to tell the molvis "forget it" - however they probably do not see eye to eye with me anyway. I say it matters not if he is revered in this life or not ... we know nothing about the truth of this man ... for all we know he may have been peace loving and killed early after 9/11 and then there after his 'name' was used to propagate long war on the other hand he could well have been that evil person portrayed in the West, and on the other hand again he could still be alive ...

... I know which version I would prefer ...

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

If someone used to die on a Islamic ship in olden days they used to toss the dead body in the sea. So I have read. All those burials were non-Islamic ?

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

no country wanted him buried on their land so they dumped him in the sea and why is it important that the muslim scholars should have said something about OBL not showing any care for the muslims that died and that didn't get proper burial rites, i wish he had cared for both the nonmuslims and muslims that died in 9/11. with that statement it makes me feel like the life of a muslim is of more value than a nonmuslim's life.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

It's high time we accept that bin Ladin and 9/11 go hand in hand. And even the in rare rare possibility that they don't, the truth still remains that there is a bigger group of Muslim fanatics than that of any other religion. And they hate the west.

As for the burial furor, blah.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

the truth is out there scully

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

I don't want to judge anyone here and give my opinions but I just don't understand one thing what was the hurry of dumping him in the sea ? They could have kept his body like they did with sadam . I mean he was killed and his country was given a chance for burial they disagreed so they dumped him in the sea and this all happened in less than 24 hours wow !

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

I dunno it all sounds fishy to me. One would think that the man who had been the most wanted person for the past decade and after whose killing obama said, ‘today justice was served’, his body would be paraded over all channels for all to see again and again, rather than burying him in the sea within 24 hours :rolleyes:

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

Osama Bin laden was already old when 9/11 happened. I think he died in around 2004 or 05 in Afghanistan somewhere in a mountain. They probably buried him somewhere in a cave. The lack of images shown by the media suggests that America is using another incentive to invade Pakistan on the basis of increased terrorist activity after OBL's death.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

You saved me posting, that's what I believe aswell. I wonder how long it is before Pakistan gets invaded.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

It won't be invasion.....due to the nukes n stuff.......sanctions like iraq are coming....

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

How do they bury someone under a sea? :konfused:

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

Wrap them up, tie some weights to them and drop the in

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

If only they had used Zardari for that, there would have been some hope of something positive coming out of this.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

Occam's razor doesn't really state that though. It says we should lean towards a theory with the least assumptions and then start replacing the easy assumptions with others until we reach the most plausible state. So no, the hypothesis with the least assumption is almost never the one with the highest chances of being the truth. Sorry for being anal about it.

Eh while that stands true, there's millions of Xenophones who hate Islam and are fanatical enough to work against it and undermine the religion.

Muslims are the new Jews.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

Thank-You! You said excatly what i wanted to say. This is all a drama. Soon we wl see Osama taking his 101th janam :halo:.

p.s this makes me wonder howcome the indians hvnt blamed the americans yet for repeating their starplus act for osama?! :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

I dont understand why our own Muslim scholars are questioning this sea burial? He is lucky he even got that much.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

If they were scholars in the truest sense then they would agree that OBL removed himself from within the folds of Islam long ago.....

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

This is what I got from wiki ..

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

nah, aid will be stopped rather than new sanctions.

Re: Sea Burial, a disrespect? Really!!

What you said and what the Wiki article says might look like the same thing but its more about eliminating all obvious possibilities. Basically you select the simplest hypothesis and then pick at its simplicities until you reach a point where you are satisfied with it. It is not just about saying 'The simplest hypothesis is the most accurate one'. I hope I've been coherent in my explanation. :o
