i don't think they'd make his resting place a "shrine" per se, but to say that religious zealots(remember, you said they're "not considered muslims by other muslims") or those generally anti-american(in a violent way) wouldn't visit it(or "make pilgrimage")? i'd disagree.
and he may actually BE in an unmarked grave, and they just say they dumped him at sea to prevent exhumation.

It's not just people on ATS, there are many people questioning why, after all the money we've all spent on this costly war, was the ultimate prize dumped overboard, supposedly to "honor" the traditions of a religious fanatic that allegedly murdered thousands of Americans, when we've been pissing all over the traditions of moderate Muslims for years? They put honoring that fanatic, over proving to the American people that their #1 enemy is dead? That's pretty damned insulting...

What did you want them to do with the body "after all the money we've spent"? He's dead, they got him, there's no reason for them to keep him. Mount his head in the Oval Office? Conspiracy people are going to find the conspiracy in everything. Most real life people I've talked to don't find too much wrong with this at all, there's no reason to keep the body.

Islam does not condone or support extremism, so why was osama entitled to a traditional Islamic burial?
- is it even a traditional burial these days?

Oh here we go.. of course we have the section of ATS writers who won't believe anything unless they get to touch the corpse themselves. Did you expect a public burial so you could walk by and take pictures? Nobody in his family wanted his body, Saudi Arabia didn't want it, so they dumped in the ocean. If you buried him, nuts would be coming to pay homage all the time.
Video/photos/DNA evidence will come out eventually. Why would we wait 10 years to lie we killed him?
