Imams Refuse To Perform Funeral Prayers For Terrorists Who Carried Out London At by spartoo: 11:30am On Jun 06, 2017 |
A group of over 130 imams and Muslim religious leaders across Britain announced that they won't perform the traditional Islamic funeral prayers for the men who carried out Saturday's terror attack in London. In a public statement, the imams said their pain at the suffering of the victims and their families led them to take this momentuous decision. Condemning the attack which claimed the lives of seven people and injured 47 others, the group said the actions of the perpetrators was "indefensible" and they did not deserve the ritual that is normally performed for every Muslim, regardless of their deeds. "Consequently, and in light of other such ethical principles which are quintessential to Islam, we will not perform the traditional Islamic funeral prayer over the perpetrators and we also urge fellow imams and religious authorities to withdraw such a privilege. This is because such indefensible actions are completely at odds with the lofty teachings of Islam," the group said in the statement. The Islamic leaders expressed their shock and disgust at the "cold-blooded murder" of innocent people and said the terrorists were misguided in carrying out the violent attacks, as they had no religious legitimacy. "Though at no time is it acceptable, that such ruthless violence was perpetrated during the season of Ramadan , in which Muslims worldwide focus on pious devotion, prayer, charity and the cultivation of good character, demonstrates how utterly misguided and distant the terrorists are from our faith and the contempt which they hold for its values," the statement reads. Describing the attackers as "vile murderers" who sought to divide society and instil fear, the imams urged people to unite and ensure that the terrorists fail in their objective.

Mynd44: Muslims don't need ID card, what is required to become a Muslim is believing that "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger". So those attackers qualify to being muslims. |

Nne5: George Bush Jr is a Christian and prior to his Iraq invasion, he said God told him to attack Iraq. Tony Blair said exactly the same thing. These two guys are christians and they ruined not only Iraq to the ground but also Afganistan to name a few. You be the judge |

Mynd44: Yes, they are Christians, Guess what ? Most people don't care about what happens in some remote countries. Islamic jihadist would have been ignored if they stick to their native country and cause havoc there. But they chose to export terror and make life unbearable for humans everywhere thus earning them the infamous label of global terrorists. You may expend great energy in convincing people of some christian terrorists operating somewhere but most won't take you serious because it has no effect on their own personal lives. Of all the problems in the world, why should anyone care about some christian terrorists operating in a country they will probably never visit ? Finally, existence of christian terrorists does not justify jihadists' actions. Terrorism is condemned not because of the perpetrators but due to the carnage it leaves in its paths. 2 Likes |
