Good deed and even a better PR stunt....

A good deed? I guess so, but there are better uses for the money here in the country but they would attract less attention in the press. 

 

I never understood the sentimentality and rigmarole about bodies, burials etc. I tell my wife save the 150K for the funeral, just buy a can of petrol and throw it over me in the back garden, but she is worried about the police.

One day I hope you understand. But until then, I hope that you will learn that you should respect the beliefs of others. Under Islam is is critically important that the deceased's body is handled a certain way and that certain rites and proceedures are followed - that is why it is so expensive. 

 

Understanding and respecting does not mean you agree - it just means you accept it is that person's belief.  Not everything is right or wrong - you dont need to take a side on everything.

There's always one huge virtue signalling hypocrite in the room isn't there? Ugh, and I suppose you you respect the beliefs of cannibals to eat their ancestors.

 

No you don't, do you? Because in your highly biased opinion, their's is not a belief that you should respect. Get they behind me Satan, with your hypocrisy.

And I never implied their belief was wrong, it simply differs from my beliefs, which is that after death we are gone and it doesn't matter a fig what happens to our bodies. Believing it does, is no different to a cannibal believing that they should earthier ancestors flesh. Superstition pure and simple.

The difference between you and me mate is that I understand my biases, but you don't think you have any, because you lack the ability to see yourself.

I did not expect any less - was hoping for more - but got back what was expected.

Shouldn't the Iranian government take care of that?

That is risky. She might do that before you have been declared clinically dead.

Nice gesture. Big bike accident, for those (like me) who weren't aware.
