THiS NEWS ARE A JOKE! He made three mistaken.

Why "dump" him into sea is because they don't want the people to make his body into shrine. That's why ... it's not because of muslim law...

Good job videoing. Plain, simple and in ASL, yet! I just wanted to help you how to pronounce "Al Qaeda". It is pronounced as "Al Kida" in Arabic. I lip read yours and you mouthed "Q". In English, the Q always have the "U" after like queen, quick, quack, etc. so we pronounce the "QU". There is no u in Qaeda and the Islamics as well as those who speak English pronounce it Kida following the way they say it. Keep up the good work, Joey.
