Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Kashmir villages clash over who would get the honor of burying slain jihad terrorist

Oct 31, 2015 11:55 am By Robert Spencer

We are constantly told that Islamic jihadists are a tiny minority of extremists, shunned and abhorred by the vast majority of Muslims. Someone forgot to tell the Muslims of the villages of Bugam and Khandaypora in Kashmir, which clashed over which would get the honor of burying Abu Qasim, a leading jihad terrorist. If the mainstream narrative about Islam were correct, both Bugam and Khandaypora would have refused to bury him, and his relatives would be searching for a place that would take his remains. Note also that thousands of people attended his funeral.

“Violent Protests Ensue As 2 Kashmir Villages Clash To Claim LeT Terrorist’s Body,” PTI, October 31, 2015:

SRINAGAR — Residents of two villages of Kashmir clashed with each other today over the right of burial of the body of Pakistani terrorist Abu Qasim, a top commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba outfit, who was killed in an encounter yesterday.

Qasim’s body was buried in Bugam village of Kulgam district but people from the same district’s Khandaypora, where he was killed, wanted the body to be exumed for burial in their village, police sources said.

Before the burial in Bugam, thousands of people participated in the funeral prayers for Qasim, whose real name was Abdul Rehman and hailed from Bahawalpur in Pakistan’s Multan district.

However, residents of Khandaypora went to Bugam, demanding that the body of Qasim be exhumed so that he could be buried in their village where he died, police sources said.

To lay claim over his body, a family from Khandaypora village even claimed that Qasim was their “long lost son” who had joined militancy 15 years ago.

The residents of two villages then clashed over this issue, they said….

    Not hard enough, otherwise there would have been enough people to bury on both sides and the place of burial of the dead terrorism became a moot point.

      I agree; the fight should have turned friendly ( for people, not the Muslims, ) and they ( the residents of both cities) kill each other.

      A battle to the last person (on each side) would be great- and both sides should do their best to obliterate the other side.

      (And, if the various factions in Iraq and Syria; Yemen; Somalia; etc would do thesame-it would be great).

      Just my not PC views.

    Better that he was killed in Pakistan—and hopefully, many of his followers were killed along with him.

    Cannot (or will some asshole?) blame Israel.

    And, isn’t it a shame that there were no car/truck bombs to go off at the funeral? Would have livened things up.c

    There are a lot of terrorists around each coffin. Has anybody else noticed that?

    Priorities – they’re sure showing theirs here in no uncertain terms……

    What a bunch of useless brain-dead savages, too bad there weren’t more of these beasts to bury as well…….
