Most Muslims view these extremists as evil who are distorting and perverting their religion. At least that is what Ive read and heard. If we can agree that these type of terrorists are indeed hijacking a religion and twisting it, using it to kill innocents, going completely against what Muslims tell us Islam is about shouldnt we then not even consider Muslim sensitivity?
After all, they are not representing Muslims. They should not get special treatment. That means no special burials, no special treatment and privileges while being held that would normally be given to a Muslim.
I dont know, I can see arguments against this but I hate to see these men who are obviously evil terrorists twisting a religion to murder innocents get special treatment based on something they are not.
Do they take infidel-sensitivities into account...?
"Russian security forces have decided to bury the terrorists from last’s week’s hostage siege wrapped in pig’s skin. The aim is to deter potential Islamic terrorists from future attacks. Shahidi (Jihad martyrs) believe by their nefarious acts that they ascend immediately to heaven. Using their beliefs against them, wrapping their corpses in ‘unclean’ pigskin prevents them from entering heaven for eternity. The jewish rabbinical council confirms pork by-products are able to deter terrorists Israeli police are considering using bags of pig lard in buses and other places to deter Muslim suicide bombers, Maariv reported today. The proposal received the Jerusalem rabbinate’s approval. The police’s suggestion is based on the fact that strict Muslim tradition holds that any Muslim who comes in contact with a pig before dying will be denied access to heaven."
I wish they would have done this with the body of OBL...
I would have gone farther and cut up his body and fed it to pigs. That way he is utterly destroyed in the most horrific way imaginable to a Muslim. If such a thing were our policy I believe it would deter some people from becoming terrorists.
The liberals claim a separation of church and state. The govt should IGNORE anyone's sensitivities. OBama did not care about offending Christians on Easter.
General Pershing would have his soldiers dip their bullets in pig fat. How's THAT for caring about muslims?
I agree that it is more than some of these awful people deserve. On the other hand we need to show the world that we are anti-terrorist and not anti-muslim.
I'm not sure if Israelis would love the idea of seeing their burial wrapped in pig skin. What do you think?
The whole point of this type of burial is to negate the reason for an extremist Muslim committing a suicide mission in the first place: entrance to heaven.
What that has to do with Israeli burials I do not know.
I'll admit, i'm a cold-hearted bastard who is forward leaning when it comes to heavy handed justice. I don't begrudge a bullet to OBL's brain (vs. a trial) and I wouldn't cry if they had strung him up by the balls from the Statue of Liberty for the world to see.
Just like Mussolini. Or the contractors on the bridge in Iraq.

The idea about desecration of bodies, since you didn't get it the first time around. Jews are in the same boat as Muslims when it comes to pigs, no?
If not burying him immediately served more of a purpose for us than would be lost, that would be fine. I think the religious sensitivities of all groups are tip-toed around too much. But if it's easier to dump him at sea and be done with it, why invite trouble?
