Freedom of speech is not limited to political speech. Where did you get such a notion?

that is an extremely narrow (not to mention incorrect) view of the first amendment.

Unconfirmed reports state they had explosives on them as well as automatic weapons. Some reports state that they were "middle eastern" men. Evidently an officer was wounded as well, and a Walmart down the street was evacuated as there was a report of someone with a hand grenade was inside.
Little hard news to go on as of yet...
Where is the thread on the cop who just saved lives with his quick thinking ? Oh nevermind.

Hypocrites. All of them.

Yes, the young soldier was Lee Rigby, his killers were loser Nigerians, again, a family of scroungers with no love for Britain, makes your heart bleed. Again, you cannot blame all communities, but Lee is bordering on being a saint in South London. ( Though better he was alive than an Icon and with his young family). That photo of Elton, I thought that is exactly how I imagined him with his loser face and silly wispy beard. ( Hang on isn't he trying to impersonate the proph, should he behead himself?)

We have denounced his actions, but as long as he claimed he was Muslim we have no way to say he wasn't. Every person that claims to be Muslim is accepted as being Muslim.

One reason a Muslim burial was wanted, is because our burials are to be anonymous, no visiting of the grave, no memorial or even permanent markers. Not even Muhammad's grave was to have been marked, which contrary to Islam was done about 100 years after his death.

Also the burial at sea keeps the question open as to if it was Bin Laden. Many of us believe Bin Laden had died long ago .

While burial at sea is permitted in Islam we believe the burial must be the placing of the body in either a small boat or on a raft. We do not believe a person should be buried in any form of container or under water.

for the life he led, why would any law abiding Muslim give a " rat's behind" how he was buried ?

Lost in the liberal's hushed disapproval of free expression which they justify by classifying it as "hate speech" whenever it's an expression of something they find offensive according to the PC playbook. Also silent due to their overriding concern for anti-Muslim backlash whenever there's a Muslim attrocity. Lastly, God forbid they ever show any approval for a Texan with a gun regardless of how many lives they might have saved.
