I Don’t Get It

We’re constantly told by the government–and this isn’t just Dear Leader’s administration; it goes back to September 12, 2001–that we are not fighting Islam, Islam is a religion of peace (as opposed to the culture of hatred, oppression and death that it appears to be) and that terrorists who are self-described adherents to Islam aren’t really, and they in fact pervert the teachings of the religion.

So explain to me why it is we would take pains to treat Osama bin Dead’s flailing corpse in accordance with traditional Muslim practices? Why do we want to be certain he’s buried within 24 hours in accordance with the Koran or hadiths or whatever, if he isn’t really a Muslim? Do his actions and beliefs pervert Islam, or adhere to it? Because, if he’s been perverting his supposed religion, it seems to me we’re under no obligation to respect any damn thing he might have wanted or expected.

Someone help me out with that one, will ya?
