We Gave Bin Laden a Muslim Burial? Now that shows some Class

Well, I guess we can put ourselves on the same respect level as Saladin who let Christians have a wedding ceremony during the Siege of Kerak in 1183.

The officials said bin Laden was killed toward the end of the firefight, which took place overnight Monday in a building at a compound north of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. His body was put aboard the USS Carl Vinson and placed into the North Arabian Sea.

Traditional Islamic procedures for handling the remains were followed, the officials said, including washing the corpse, placing it in a white sheet. Preparations for at-sea burial began at 1:10 a.m. EDT Monday and were completed at 2 a.m. EDT, one official said.

That is exactly how we treat our enemies. With respect even though they did so much killing against us. Dignity in the face of depravity is a virtue.
