A word about the Islamic burial of Tamarlan Tsarnaev in a cemetery in Virginia.
Virginia. Cradle of our Founders -- and resting place, too. George Washington. James Madison. Thomas Jefferson. ... Tamarlan Tsarnaev.
This is a defilement of the land. The killer waged jihad by destroying American lives as viciously as possible -- killing three, including young Richard Martin, consigning many Americans to life without limbs, skull and brain injuries, pain, trauma, shrapnel, nails, ball bearings lodged in their bodies, sowing terror in the land. He should have no resting place here, anywhere. His corpse should have been cremated and disposed of.
Why wasn't this done? Why did Tsarnaev receive undue consideration? Islam, we read in every story about this abomination, does not permit cremation. Well, that's too bad. The vicious act of war Tsarnaev committed against unarmed United States citizens canceled any claim to consideration. His casualties, dead, maimed, suffering, received none.
But Islam's law ruled. Once again, the United States submitted to Islamic religious dictates. This is another abomination. And notice what it seems to says about Islam. Not even this act of evil depravity "ex-communicated" Tsarnaev. Like Osama bin Laden, he presumably remained a Muslim in good standing.
Islam's law should not have moved US authorities with possession of the body. Cremation was clearly and patriotically in order. The jihadist's parents didn't want to claim him, nor his wife. The ashes should have been scattered to the winds or the seas.
Islam dictated once again? Tthe wishes of the odd and well-connected Uncle Ruslan trumped all. This should not stand.
