A MUSLIM graveyard today refused to bury nine of the gunmen who terrorized Mumbai.
The men were not true followers of the Islamic faith, according to the influential Muslim Jama Masjid Trust, which runs the 7.5-acre Badakabrastan graveyard in central Mumbai.
"People who committed this heinous crime cannot be called Muslim," said Hanif Nalkhande, a trustee. "Islam does not permit this sort of barbaric crime."
Ten gunmen laid siege to India's financial capital. One was captured and the rest killed.
The bodies of the nine now lie in a morgue awaiting last rites, while the lone surviving militant is in police custody.
Normally, unclaimed bodies thought to be Muslims are given to the nearest Muslim graveyard for burial after three days, leaving police unsure what to do now.

I believe they should be read their rights.
ReplyDeleteThey did what they did and even if we dont support their actions, its important to read their last rights, because there is nothing left to do.
Even though this will send a message that we must always consider our actions.
