United States Navy Sailors Gave 40 Minutes of their Lives Conducing Funeral Services for Osama Bin Laden

We are getting more details about the funeral service conducted by the United States Navy for Osama Bin Laden. According to accounts, the service lasted 40 minutes. That's 40 minutes of these sailors lives taken from them to honor Islamic tradition and Osama Bin Laden. That seems shameful.

Video of Osama bin Laden's dead body being dropped into the North Arabian Sea from the USS Carl Vinson early this morning could be made public, according to officials.

The 40-minute ceremony, and perhaps photos of his corpse, will be released "cautiously," according to The Associated Press, citing two Pentagon officials.

The world's most notorious terrorist did not receive a customary Islamic burial as he was slipped into the North Arabian Sea today when no others countries would accept his body, according to experts in Muslim funeral rites.

"Dumping the body into the sea is not part of any Islamic ritual," said Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy and a physician of internal medicine. "Koranic scripture says God created him and he must return to the earth."
