Well, there’s something…
From John C. Wright — who (rightly) continues to invoke the intercession of Saint James Matamoros to inspire the resolve of all the world to fight Islamic terrorism — comes the link to this promising news:
A Muslim graveyard in the heart of Mumbai has broken with Islamic tradition and refused to bury the bodies of nine terrorists who were killed during the attack on India’s financial capital.
The influential Muslim Jama Masjid Trust, which runs the 7.5-acre Badakabrastan graveyard, said it would not bury the gunmen because they were not true followers of Islam.
Hanif Nalkhande, a spokesman for the trust, said: “People who committed this heinous crime cannot be called Muslim. Islam does not permit this sort of barbaric crime.”
More of this please.
The opposition of the world to the whims and methods of terrorists remains important, of course — St. James Matamoros inspire our resolve! — but the key to fighting Islamic terror is in giving the terrorists themselves no ground to go to. That will happen when their own people, their fellow Muslims, can soundly and solidly reject their ways, methods, and declared ends (as this graveyard’s overseeing trust has now done), and say to the terrorists “you are not Muslim; you do not speak for us.”
Pray that day arrives with expedience and all due haste.
