David, I certainly understand what you are saying. Schilling's point was (and I agree), why do we have to comply with his religious beliefs when he didn't even adhere to those beliefs? True Muslims know that he perverted the beliefs of Islam for his own purposes.

Nobody said we had to defile his body. The point was he did not deserve a Muslim burial because he did not adhere to the Muslim beliefs. I may be wrong, but I really think that devout Muslims would agree.
