I think the reasons given for his burial at sea make perfect sense. If he was buried on land there is the risk that his grave would become a shrine
for martyrs - somewhere at sea is nice and vague so the idiots that follow him have no shrine.
That is a really good point however it is a fallacy to believe it would have became a shire.
Under OBL’s religion of Wahhabism, most people have unmarked graves and as such there would be no grave to turn into a shire. The real reason was
probably because they didn’t know who to give the body to or find a state to take it off them and they were probably worried to some extent it would
have became a shire but like I said, this is a fallacy.
