Fetzer added that the idea that bin Laden was buried at sea in accordance with Muslim tradition was “preposterous.”
“That’s disrespectful to bodies which can be eaten by fish, sharks and other crustaceans,” he added.
Obama claimed that Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces on May 1 in a hiding compound in Pakistan.
A US official later announced that bin Laden's body was abruptly buried at sea, falsely boasting that his hasty burial was in accordance with the Islamic law, requiring burial within 24 hours of death.
However, burial at sea is not an Islamic practice and Islam does not have a timeframe for burial.
“It’s a shame that the United States has been reduced to one lie after another. We seem to be spending more time trying to defend lies than we are solving real problems in the world and this is, yet, one more example,” he concluded.
