Osama bin "Gotten"

^ lol, conspiracy theory. But if he is dead, who wants to see that guy in a morgue pic?

I amazingly found this out here on MLK, and no, not by this thread, but by my BFF Nattie at TRP's den. So hey, thanks! XD
I'm gonna say what everyone else has said, glad he's dead, but there will be some revenge no matter how weak the Al Qaeda may be now.

[quote="DGFone"]No.No. You got it wrong. It's Al-Qaeda threatened that if Osama was to be killed or captured, they would detonate a nuke in some U.S. city.
The threat is most likely a bluff, so don't panic.[/quote]

Nah I had hoped that someone would point that out, it was late when I posted that XD, its fine to say it is probably a bluff and I doubt the AQ would have the power anyway. It would not be a nuke like a huge bomb, more like a radioactive explosion of sorts.
I wasnt panicking, I live in England XP.

Then you my friend, are extremely lucky, I'm frantic.

LilacVixen - I dont think they can do that, Islamic law prevents them from doing it (it is also the reason why he was buried at sea so quick, you have to be buried within 24 hours of death) I was talking to someone at College about it ^^.

[Thegeni99]

Buried at sea? O.0

[FlipMode]

What about it? That is what they did.

[Thegeni99]

ok, I just didn't know that part of it.

Yeah they have to do it in Islamic law, if there is a chance that the person would have their grave tampered with (which he likely would have) then you need to do a sea burial...

Plus, if he wasn't buried at sea, his grave would become a place of pilgrimage for extremists.

Nice way not make us U.S. citizens worried, there flip. "Oh, sure. I'm not worried. At worst case scenario, it won't kill me either way, so I'm just fine!"
J.K. I believe it's a bluff because if it wasn't, New York or some other major city would have already been on the front news.

And yes, according to Islamic law, a person needs to be buried within the end of the day they died, but I'm not aware about the sea burial (I'm not saying it's not true). Most likely, the U.S. gave him a proper burial so that radicals will not have another excuse to go and bomb some buildings, and alienate regular Muslims due to neglect of their faith.

About releasing the photos: Osama was shot in the head, and unlike in movies (and video games), head-shot wounds are very grew some. Scramble some eggs and paint the stuff red. That will look pretty compared to what people want released. This is why the government doesn't want to release the photos. Not because Osama isn't actually dead.
