Indian Muslims refusing 26/11 terrorists burial in their graveyard
2009-04-19
The bodies of nine men, involved in the November terrorist attack on Mumbai, are still lying in a morgue as the Indian Muslim Council has opposed their burial in Muslim cemeteries. Ujwal Nikam, the public prosecutor trying the lone surviving suspect, told CNN the dead, who are assumed to be Muslim, have not been buried because their bodies have not been claimed and Mumbai's Muslims have refused to bury them in their graveyards. John Voll, professor of Islamic history at Georgetown University in Washington, said the non-burial sent the message that the terrorists were acting so contrary to Islam that they had been judged as being unbelievers and were not worthy of being buried in a Muslim cemetery.

#1  "John Voll, professor of Islamic history at Georgetown University in Washington, said the non-burial sent the message that the terrorists were caught acting so contrary according to Islam that they had been judged as being unbelievers and were not worthy of being buried in a Muslim cemetery and the rest want to cover it up and pretend their religion isn't involved."

Fixed that for ya', Professor VTroll.
