Dealing With Fanatics

I'm not the most intelligent man, but when you are dealing with fanatics, it's pretty easy to figure out that the over zealous will just end up calling the entire ocean a shrine. I did a search after Rednote answered one question in my previous blog. Sure enough, it turns out the Arabian Sea is now known as the Martyr's Sea._____________________________________________________________________________________

If a home renovator like me can figure this out, then why can't the American DOD?  The DOD should have brought the body back to his family in Saudi Arabia.  I know, that just makes too much fucking sense!
