Thank you for seeing how we feel but this above statement contradicts with your other statement. I don't know if this is typo or you see both sides.

I remember years ago when a U.S. helicopter was shot down in Somalia and the Somalian soldiers/citizens paraded the soldiers body through the village. This was agonizing to watch a dead body disrespected and thinking of the anguish it caused his family seeing the people cheer and mock his body. I firmly believe any dead person should be given a decent burial and not have people celebrating the death. Somewhere...... someone loved these people and I imagine myself in their shoes....feeling their pain.

BTW - Muslims don't believe in burial at sea, only if there's no other choice.
