i never suggested poking his body or anything like that, i just want to know why they gave a terrorist a muslim burial and why they buried him at sea within 12 hours before anyone seen the body

Its called being diplomatic and tactful. They buried him after offering his body back to his native country, they may have offered it to other countries they could trust, their decision.
Under Muslim tradition they are supposed to wash/clean up the body, then bury it as soon as is practicable, which is what they did. They did video the burial but why should they show it to the world, that shows a lack of respect. It would also make targets out of those servicemen involved in the ceremony.
Showing the video of a burial at sea wouldnt lessen the cries of the conspiracy nuts, the body is in a weighted canvas bag, it has words said over it, then goes sliding off a board into the sea.
If they showed the ceremony then the deranged howling of the nuts would only get louder, "why didnt they show us the body?". If they showed photos of the body the cries would be "its a fake photo" or "its not him just someone made up to look like him"!
He stated he was a muslim, being a terrorist doesnt change that, he and others believed he was following the tenets of his faith, or he believed that he could carry out his actions and reconcile his actions with his faith.
Why they accorded him a burial in line with muslim traditions is to show the world that they dont disrespect that particualr religions beliefs, so they cant be accused of hating Muslims or not respecting Islamic tenets.
The only thing they can be picked up for is the fact he was buried at sea only because they cant guarantee he lies facing Mecca, however he wouldnt be the first Muslim "warrior" to be buried at sea or to be buried not completely inline with that faiths beliefs.
