1. I really hope they ship the body to Saudi Arabia, and that his family buries it in a secret place.
I think that burying it in Pakistan would be a very bad move - don't want his grave to become a place of pilgimage.

2. This is kind of a big deal.
There are conflicting reports .. heard another one that the body was to be cremated and dumped into the ocean. :shrug:

3. I saw that mentioned in another thread, but I thought it was just the poster making it up.
I could be wrong, though.

I have no idea if cremation is an accepted practice in Islam, my impression has been that they're into interrment only.
