I support the lack of funeral rites for terrorist. I believe it is a step Imans and the muslim community do not take lightly.

I often feel these days that not enough people are loudly, vocally distancing themselves from Daesh and making it very clear that following Islam means denouncing ISIS. It often seems that after an attack, the muslim community all over the world is silent or throwing up chaff by using other extremists (i.e supremacists whom no-one before trump ever took seriously anyway.)

I understand the muslim community suffers greatly from racism and stereotyping after each attack in N. America and Europe. Framing terrorist portrayals in news and movies doesn't help either. But really, one wonders, if muslim people feel they are so very far removed from the religious extremes of ISIS - tacit silence is not the same as standing against something - demonstrate against ISIS in the streets of North America as is your democratic right and I will believe you.
