A Boston mosque attended by the Tsarnaev family has refused to provide funeral services for the killed Boston bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his aunt said on Wednesday.
The aunt, Patimat Suleimanova, didn’t know the name of the mosque, NBC reported. But she said one of Tsarnaev’s uncles had approached the mosque for services and was flatly denied.
Federal investigators have been questioning various mosque leaders in the Boston area for information about the Boston bombing suspects, Tamerlan and his 19-year-old brother, Dzohkhar Tsarnaev, who’s recovering in a hospital.
On Tuesday, members of The Islamic Society of Boston mosque in Cambridge were questioned, NBC reported. And while that mosque hasn’t yet decided if it would host a funeral for Tsarnaev — with one spokesman admitting that “the things this guy did were absolutely disgraceful,” but that scholars were in charge of making the funeral decision — another has publicly said “no,” NBC reported.
Iman Talal Eid with the Islamic Institute of Boston told the Huffington Post that he “would not be willing to do a funeral for [Tamerlan]. This is a person who deliberately killed people. There is no room for him as a Muslim.”

  7. After all he was a muslim not murtid,a funeral prayer is his right,i live in toronto and know how much pressure we muslims go through after such attacks but i still feel for the dead man and no doubt what he and his brother did was un islamic!

  15. Rapist and murders and all the previous mass murders (christians) have had funerals so should this guy, what he did was terrible and un islamic but he is dead now and the mosque should allow his funeral to take place or is the mosque being put under pressure by the media.

  20. no, totally wrong, when a muslim dies its our responsibility to bury him, baaki usko Allah ko jawab dena hai 🙂 but i think this is a plot to defame muslims and target islam as a whole!! how is it possible they catch bombers within 24 hours… i dont buy this bullshit

  23. After all he was a muslim not murtid,a funeral prayer is his right,i live in toronto and know how much pressure we muslims go through after such attacks but i still feel for the dead man and no doubt what he and his brother did was un islamic!

  25. obviously no , a person who is insane and has no humanity why should he be given any burial at all , he didnt care for the living being , y his fellow being should care for a dead being ?

  26. There are norms for the dead. You apply your law for the live person but not for the dead. what a biased country.

  28. A Muslim never talk about the died people. its better if we question the US authorities to display the facts behind this terrorism. whatever he did was wrong but do you all think that US is killing people all around the world is fair. 20,000 innocent people have died in waziristan in drone attacks while actual militants are not more 500. now its up to us to decide what is write and what is wrong. REMEMBER no one living in us or any where in the world wants to kill anyone. people of US are friendly and good but the US government has some other agenda which is effecting the entire world.

  31. The Boston mosque is being too emotional. Their job, solely is to carry out the funeral for him, regardless of what he did or who he was. Why are they overlapping or confusing their moral duty with HIS wicked plan. The guy is dead, for crying out loud, have a little mercy, you're supposed to represent the "compassionate" Islam, after all.
