Funeral director: Hard to bury alleged Boston bomber - CNN.com
What's wrong with feeding some fish?
Or converting him to ashes and sending him to landfill?
I'm not sure why this is an issue?
A dead service member and a terrorist are not the same thing.So you fail.
We should have fed his remains out to the pigs
The person that committed the acts is dead and gone.While I don't believe in god or follow any faith what so ever I do believe that when someone dies there is nothing left to feel resentment towards. I realize people don't agree with me, but I don't understand how they can hold onto their hate and further desire to act towards the body of the individual in the way they do.
Yes, exactly.
We bury our dead. We do not use our fellow human beings as fish food.
The United States Navy has performed many burials at sea in its history, with wartime burials as recently as World War II, and peacetime burials still common. Enemy deaths received the same ceremony as Americans or allies. Most other armed forces also perform burials at sea, such as the British Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy.
This is a story for about 2 seconds. Unless someone is planning to put up a monument to Tsarnaev at the site of his grave, what's the big deal. What do you think happens when someone like Jeffrey Dahmer dies or any number of other mass murders when they die? The only reason this is a story is because the funeral home director made it a story - this should have been handled behind the scenes and the body quietly buried where it would never be discovered again.
It shouldn't have been a problem. All the guy wanted to do was bury a body, he had to bring some sort of attention to the fact that he needed a place to bury it.
Maybe so - but he made a public issue of accepting the body at first and then made a public issue of not being able to find a place to bury the body. If this was all done quietly, without a desire for publicity, it wouldn't have been so contentious. This was a funeral home used to performing muslim services and surely had connections with cemetaries that bury muslims on a regular basis. He would have been wiser not accepting the body until he knew what the end game was going to be.
I wonder why they didn't just cremate him and send him to his mother? Probably would've been the cheapest and easiest thing to do with the body.
We can be civilized and treat the dead well, or we can be like the people we call enemies.
Cheapest and easiest, yes, but it would be wrong. I know what he did, but we can only control our own actions. Cremation is not allowed in Islam, and after his uncle came an did what needed to be done for a muslim burial it would have been disrespectful to the uncle at least.
