The reason is bound up within Islamic practice and tradition. And that practice calls for the body of the deceased to be buried within 24 hours, according to a U.S. official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters.
I just think it?s odd we suddenly give a hoot about what the Islamic world might think of us because of one funeral procedure. We?ve been bombing their world for decades, they?ve stated all sorts of other cultural reasons for hating our very existence, and now we?re concerned that if we don?t follow their guidelines for burial, to the letter, that they?re gonna get really pissed off?!
I?m sorry, I don?t buy it. Not yet, anyway.
