POST HERE For Discussion About The DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN (Updated)

I was just talking to my flatmate about this...
There is something not right about the American claims; if Bin Laden had been killed there would be video footage of his entire body rather than one leaked photograph (if there is footage, I'm surprised it hasn't been released).

It is Islamic tradition to bury the body within 24 hours. The Americans asked the Saudis to take the body but they refused. I imagine they buried him at see to prevent his grave from becoming a shrine.

Sky news: Media reports suggest that there are photographs of the body that are due to be released

Undoubtedly counterfeits that they are in the process of creating and releasing.

If I take a picture of something, it takes me 30 seconds to upload it on the net to show everyone. If the US officials encounter the world's most wanted terrorist, it takes them 2-3 days to 'release' pictures of it. Something fishy.

I'm just in a WTF state-of-mind right now; what will the implications be? Good, bad?

Is Obama a dead-cert for 2012 now (I don't think so in my opinion)? Crowds have gathered rather quickly in front of the White House and the Twin Tower sites too; rightly, I assume it shall be quite a jovial atmosphere in the US today...

I have lots of Muslim friends who knew nothing about this ritual and always bury their dead in some white sheets. They are Pakistani Muslims.

I think shooting him dead will anger his followers tbh.

It's a custom/tradition I've heard about before. They buried him at sea so that his body couldn't be found and turned into some sort of martyrdom shrine.
I agree it does sound suspicious but the only reason I can think of for burying him so quickly is what I mentioned just before (I should point out that it's not something I've just recently read on a news website!)

Yes, killing him was always going to anger his followers but they're trying to lessen the inevitable repercussions I expect. If they didn't care about the consequences then they might as well have put his head on a spike outside the tower of london or something like that. But doing something like that would clearly be unacceptable as it's extremely disrespectful.

NO! You look at the evidence presented and the credibility of the source to make a decision.

Exactly, the credibility of the source. Every single major worldwide news organisation is reporting this as fact, yet some students with tin foil hats on an irrelevant forum say the contrary.

Credibility indeed

THIS IS NOT ANOTHER CONSPIRACY THREAD

Video taken from BBC article

"It is now being widely reported that Osama Bin Laden's body has already been disposed of at sea"

Why have they disposed of his body so quickly? Isn't his body the only evidence that it is actually him they killed?

"A US official quoted by Associated Press news agency said Bin Laden's body had been buried at sea, although this has not been confirmed."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13256676

It's odd that he was buried at sea. What about all the Taliban soldiers who are killed - I doubt they are buried in 24 hours? I dunno. Given time, photos will be released and his dead body will be confirmed.

jihad it coming.

Thought this was a troll and checked out your source, but wow! Thanks for the info :smile:

Actually, burial at sea is not completely forbidden under any circumstances. In some exceptions (dying at sea, etc.), it is allowed and although I guess being shot on land does not qualify, burial at sea is nonetheless not strictly prohibited.

Exactly. I never stated that it was prohibited. Burial at sea should only happen if the person has died at sea and is unable to be taken back to land to be buried in time. In all other cases it is best to bury in land.

Just... stop.

That's the most ridiculous thing i've heard.

This isn't a facebook upload.

That photograph is fake and has been in circulation for around 2 years according to the Guardian.
