'We won't taint Islam' Muslim community refuses to bury ISIS killer who murdered French priest in France
“We’re not going to taint Islam with this person.
Mr Karabila also insisted that the mosque’s religious leadership would not take part in any funeral proceedings for such people.“We won’t participate in preparing the body or the burial.”
Karabila added that if the mayor’s office were to request the mosque to receive the body, and Kermiche’s family said they wanted a burial, his mosque would obliged to assign someone to supervise the process. Local Muslims have supported the community leaders’ decision.
Kermiche and his accomplice Abdel-Malik Petitjean, 19, took hostages before killing Father Jacques Hamel and seriously wounding another person.
The pair were shot dead by police as they attempted to escape the church, using nuns as human shields.
