Muslims are only buried at sea in the most extreme circumstance, not as a matter of course. I would call it more like disposal of the evidence, or lack of evidence.
Does not an extreme circumstance apply - Body parts identified by the NY Coroner as belonging to the bombers that hit on 911 were offered to the Saudi Govt for proper burial - They refused.

of territory, marriage laws, administrative practices, discrimination, lack of birth registration,
denationalization (when a State rescinds an individual’s nationality), and renunciation
(when an individual refuses the protection of a State).
Many of the world’s stateless persons are also victims of forced
