Why don't they cremate Tsarnev's corpse and give the father the ashes?

[snagglepuss]

[Xipe Totec]

1. They could use a pressure cooker as an urn. nt

[backscatter712]

6. I like that idea!

[Neoma]

2. Religion.

[Travis_0004]

3. Because islam forbids cremation.

[Xipe Totec]

4. As I understrand it, they're not too keen on murder either. nt

[snagglepuss]

5. The 9/11 asshats didn't think their cremation was going to prevent entry to paradise.

bombers immolate themselves and are encouraged to do so. It sounds like cremation isn't ideal but its not going to stop the partying in the hereafter.

[bobclark86]

8. Here's an analogy for you:

Al Queda is to Islam, as the Klan is to Christianity.

Can I condemn all Christians for Klan violence now? YAAAAY!!!

[Xipe Totec]

17. Tough call... I'm thinking... nt

[Neoma]

18. More like Army of God than KKK.

[snagglepuss]

20. Why bring up KKK or Christianity???

[cherokeeprogressive]

32. Fairness Doctrine?

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. A medical cadaver for science

which are needed




But the parents would never do that.

[bobclark86]

9. Pardon the word choice,

but mutilating dead bodies isn't kosher in Islam, just like cremation isn't (and embalming, too... so this guy is really starting to fucking stink right about now)

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. medical examiners students need stinky bodies

its part of their education. CSI Boston real life you know?

Anyway the op asked and I suggested the best solution for the family, Boston and the nation.


But hey I want to half the defense department and don't know shit what's best.

[snagglepuss]

21. Is murderacceptable in Islam? Why have a number of imand refused to give the corpse last rites?

[snooper2]

24. It's just mythology, you don't have to be too strict with it

bend the rules a little LOL...

Trust me, "god" won't care

[SoulSearcher]

28. But they remove the head sometimes... ?

In these awful videos that show the killing of a prisoner, even the stoning
of someone, they then proceed to mutilate the corpse. Disgusting, but
just don't understand how they can justify one and not the other.

[graham4anything]

10. Many orthodox in different religions frown on it, so generally in those cases, it is NEVER an option

for instance, many Jews do not believe in creamation either, due to the religion itself, and because of what Hitler did to the Jews in the gas chamber and the association with ovens.

When it comes to religion, one needs to remember there are many different religions practiced, and all have their own rules and regulations and some have different depending on what branch of religion they believed in. And some have no religion too.

[LisaL]

11. Because cremation is not allwed for Muslims? Therefore doing this would be a huge insult?

[snagglepuss]

22. Why have of number of imans refused to perform last rites?

[jeff47]

29. Because they have free will. (nt)

[snagglepuss]

35. Correct if no cemetaries want to accept the course that is their right.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. That would be the sensible thing to do.

Send it COD, and let the old man do what he wants with it.

[kestrel91316]

14. The state cannot force the cremation of remains on anyone.

The family has been given the remains to dispose of by whatever legal means they see fit.

Until and unless the state of Massachusetts passes a law that says that only the state can decide how terrorists' remains are disposed of, that's not going to change. And such a law would never pass constitutional muster.

Islam forbids cremation. And it's nobody's goddamned business how the remains are disposed of as long as it's legal.

[snagglepuss]

23. Islam also forbids murder. One iman who refused to perform prayers and such for the burial

said the murderer could no longer be considered Muslim.

[kestrel91316]

25. So are you saying that two wrongs make a right? That someone who kills a child or uses violence and

then dies should be subject to desecration of his/her remains??

Because it sure sounds like it. How completely inhuman and unamerican of you.

What are you - 5 years old?

I'll tell you what - you and your buddies who are so eager to desecrate human remains get right to work to pass a law that permits such a thing. I'll be watching. Good luck with that.

[snagglepuss]

36. Since when is cremation desecration?

[kestrel91316]

37. It is when someone's religion forbids it. I have a great idea for you.

Why don't you go tell an Orthodox Jew he or she should be cremated because it's what YOU want for them?

What gives YOU the right to dictate how someone else's remains are disposed of?? How about I get to decide how your remains are disposed of, and NOT YOUR NEXT OF KIN??

[LeftInTX]

15. We buried Bin Laden at sea

Well, I don't think he was actually buried, but we did throw him in the Arabian Sea.

"Traditional procedures for Islamic burial was followed," said one e-mail, adding, "The deceased's body was washed (ablution) then placed in a white sheet. The body was placed in a weighted bag. a military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker. After the words were complete, the body was placed on a prepared flat board, tipped up, whereupon the deceased's body slid into the sea."

[customerserviceguy]

33. Sounds like the best of all possible solutions

Since they probably wouldn't accept my suggestion of boiling the body in pig fat to send a message to future terrorists.

If they buried him in Massachusetts, the earth would puke him back up.

[LeftInTX]

34. Bin Laden was last resort. Also OBL was in the govt's custody too.

This guy is in his uncle's custody.

I wonder why they released the body to the funeral home if they didn't have a burial location?

They could have left him at the morgue until a place was found.

I feel bad for the funeral home director.

[customerserviceguy]

38. The funeral home director bought this problem

And is now wishing he hadn't. It'll be a good lesson for the rest of this money-grubbing industry for the next time we actually have the guts to kill a terrorist (or at least his brother does it for us).

[baldguy]

16. Have they found dad?

[kentuck]

19. We killed him....we should bury him.

Put him in a pinebox and put him in a pauper's grave. Follow his religious beliefs as close as possible and get it over with.

[BainsBane]

26. sounds reasonable to me

[Common Sense Party]

30. I think his brother killed him.

Being dragged under an SUV--after being shot a few times--isn't good for the health.

[hrmjustin]

27. I wish they would just bury him in the woods and get it over with.

[jberryhill]

31. Because Jodi Arias is looking for a new boyfriend
