    I cant say you really will.

    Coming from an Islamic background I can tell you that Muslims are supposed to respect Christians and Jews but I have never heard anything of an Islamic Regime giving a traditional burying to someone of a different monotheistic faith.

    The answer would be a big no. Both religions have different points of views on people who don't believe in the others religion. Muslims believe that if they kill infidels who will not turn to there religion they will get 40 young female virgins in heaven when they die. Now Christians and Jewish people both know that commenting suicide they already on there way to hell. Now Most of the Jewish people wont touch a dead body unless they be unclean themselves and since and Christians are taught thought the bible that the dead can't be touched less who so ever touched the body will be unclean.

    Now Muslims hate both the Christians and the Jews because we don't worship Allah so there for we must die or convert (which is unlikely) and so if a body of a Jew or a Christian was found by a Muslim you can almost think of the possibilities of what they would do to it. Spite on it, Burn it or cut it up and use it for an example to try and say they are better then the other religions

    If they can't identify the person the corpse used to be, they'll just give it whatever John Doe burial they do in that country. It's not like Christian bodies glow a certain color so people know to bury them a certain way.

    Yes, define "Muslim country" most of Middle East is Muslim and Christian and only Israel Jew, so we have Christian all over the Middle East even though many people forget about us.

    hi, i'm from Turkey and as additionally different human beings noted this is the main uncommon incident that any one will ask you to transform, in certainty Turkish each physique is inquisitive approximately different cultures and religions additionally, so as that they are able to ask you to talk approximately your faith and subculture :). besides please save in mind that Turkey, specifically those soils of Anatolia, has been witnessing countless religious ameliorations in peace and there has been no concern approximately each others religious identity. different than the places the place kin disturbance is going on, i think you will no longer have any concern and none will stress you to transform to Islam. because of fact in Islam there is not any compulsion. inspite of the undeniable fact that there possibly different issues you should be careful. case in point, in some international locations you could no longer tell something against King, like Jordan. i desire you will get no concern in any respect.

    Seems like they'd try and find out where the body came from and like any other nation, simply return it to its place of origin...don't think religion would have anything to do with it...but I could be wrong.

    Not sure about that , but doubt it. But for those of us who Christians and die, we are absent from the body, and present with the Lord, so that doesn't matter to us. At least to me it wouldn't. I am with Jesus no matter where my body is buried or how!
