发帖数: 29846 | 1 The other day we told you the story of Usaama Rahim, the radical Muslim who
lunged at police officers with a knife and was ultimately killed because of
his actions. Afterwards, Rahim’s brother went on a tirade claiming he was a
victim of racial profiling and police brutality.
Ugh (having to type that last sentence while knowing Rahim’s brother
believes what he says to be true was brutal).
Now, Rahim’s burial has been “delayed after funeral home refuses to take
body of ‘extremist.'”
From Daily Mail:
The funeral of Boston terror suspect Usaamah Abdullah Rahim is being
held up because a local cemetery refused to take his body.
Rahim, 26, was fatally shot on Tuesday after investigators said he
wielded a military-style knife as they sought to question him about ‘
terrorist-related information.’
He was allegedly planning to behead the controversial anti-Muslim
blogger Pamela Geller and police officers and was under surveillance by
authorities.

The Knollwood Memorial Park funeral home in Canton, Massachusetts,
refused any part in his burial, which his family hoped to hold today.
‘They wouldn’t take him because he was a suspected terrorist,’
Abdullah Faruuq, Imam of the Mosque for Praising Allah in Roxbury, told CNN.
Another unnamed funeral home has now agreed to take the body, he said.
Once the funeral has take place, police will release the surveillance
video of Rahim’s shooting to the public, after holding it back per the
family’s request.
Police have said the video shows officers backing up and Rahim moving
toward them before they fired.
Rahim’s brother Ibrahim Rahim, a well-known imam in Boston, originally
hit out at police, claiming Usaamah had been shot three times in the back.
But after seeing the video, Ibrahim Rahim acknowledged that his initial
post was not correct, and he asked the public not to jump to conclusions.
A family attorney said he now regrets posting a Facebook message based
on incorrect, third-hand information claiming that his brother had been shot
three times in the back. |
