  • On 17 December 2015 the web site Supreme Patriot published an article titled Obama Gives San Bernardino TERRORISTS an Honorable Burial. WHAT!?, which reported that: It's not uncommon for the final arrangements of mass killers to be complicated affairs for their surviving family members. For example, a Reuters published an article on the subject noted that arranging interment for Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik was a difficult task due to overwhelming public antipathy towards their actions: (That article was appended with an editor's note which read: This version of the story corrects first paragraph to remove reference to FBI guarding funeral.) A Washington Post article looked more closely at the challenges families face in burying the perpetrators of notorious crimes: (Unlike Reuters, the Washington Post didn't remove a reference FBI agents guarding the funeral.) It's possible that the FBI assumed (which jurisdiction over the investigation into the San Bernardino shooting) oversaw the burials of Farook and Malik to head off any potential trouble (such as violent protests aimed at innocent surviving family members), but no evidence suggests that President Obama arranged the funeral, assisted the family in finding a suitable burial place, or ensured that proper Muslim funereal rites were observed. Additionally, the photograph appended to the claim that President Obama arranged those funerals was completely unrelated to the event: it depicts a prayer moment observed by mourners at a funeral that took place in 2011 in Karachi, Pakistan.
