Yes, it's very common.

And another thing about this interview is that the executioner/guard asks him: "What did you say people do after your death?" - What to do, where to bury me. - And you said that they don't recite the Koran. - Yes, they shouldn't recite the Koran. I ask them to play happy music. It's something that he had said before this interview, and the interviewer/executioner was very keen to get this out of him to portray him as "an evil anti-religious" person. But people loved him for that.
