I was reading this news story. It began with the persecution of Muslims in retaliation for the Easter Bombings. Then an interesting little piece came to light. Muslims in hiding in Sri Lanka as tensions rise after bombings
Sri Lanka’s Muslim Council said on Thursday night that Islamic community leaders had agreed that bodies of the terrorists would not be buried in an mosque burial ground.
“The Muslim community is so angry about this that they want to disown [the bombers],” said Hilmy Ahmed, a top official at the council, an umbrella organisation of Muslim civil society groups. “Their bodies will eventually be released — whatever is left of their bodies. [We] will not entertain the burial of them in the mosque.”
He said the community’s council of theologians, a body of religious scholars, had initially resisted the idea but relented and given its approval on Thursday.
Now, what got my attention? The idea that they had to convince the Theologians. I was raised in the Catholic Church. So in my mind this would be like going to the Bishop’s, and telling them that a Catholic could not have a Funeral Mass in a Catholic Church because of the Perception that the Church agreed with their horrible actions if they did.
Several thoughts came to mind as I considered this turn of events. First, I remembered that Islam tells the followers to lie as needed to fool the Infidels. The second thing is that the Muslims in Sri Lanka appeared shocked at the horrific nature of the attack, while at the same time nations where Islam is the ruling religion Christians are executed for Apostasy. So why is it fine to execute a Christian for Apostasy in one nation, but horrible that someone would do the same thing in another?
Perhaps I am just suspicious, but I am not buying it. Even Osama bin Laden got a proper Islamic Burial. Yet the Muslims in Sri Lanka are going to be denied it? Details Of Osama Bin Laden's Secret Burial At Sea Revealed In Military Emails
Perhaps you see now why I am suspicious of the statements, and the purported attitudes behind it. Oh we totally do not agree with the Bombers at all. In fact, we are so disgusted, we are denying them a Muslim Burial.
Even the most heinous criminals and horrific people get a Minister in our System. Someone to discuss the hereafter, and they get a funeral with a Priest who talks about the time of judgement and resurrection. Gang Bangers get funerals in local Churches, and buried in the Cemetery. But not the Muslims?
Something stinks, and I suspect it is partly an effort to placate the hostility of the majority of Sri Lankan people who are furious at the attack, and targeting the Muslim Population, especially the Refugees. I think the Theologians took the time to decide this issue because they had to decide if the willingness to lie to the Infidel for the good of the majority was worth the insult to the faithful.
