On Tuesday, the bodies of San Bernardino Islamic terrorists Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik were buried according to strict Islamic ritual. In fact, “the bodies were cleansed according to Islamic rules, wrapped in white cloth and buried,” reports Reuters. The ceremony was eerily quiet.
The attendees included the Farook family and a few fellow mosque-goers that conducted the Islamic funeral prayer, Salat Al-Janazah. Most members of the community mosque refrained from participating in the event.
Although Islamic law dictates that Muslims must be buried within 24 hours of their death, family members here had to wait until law enforcement released the terrorists’ bodies.
Additionally, most cemeteries in the San Bernardino area refused to accept the bodies. Ultimately, Farook and Malik were buried at an Islamic cemetery several miles outside of San Bernardino.
The Farook family’s boisterous attorneys refused to comment on the funeral procession, respecting the wishes of the family.
Farook’s father has been placed on the FBI’s watch list. The terrorists’ mother is currently under investigation by federal enforcement under the suspicion that she may have known about, or even played a supporting role in the attack that left over a dozen people dead.
The “martyred” bodies of the San Bernardino terrorists will contaminate the earth at an unspecified location for fear of retaliation and desecration.
