Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Va. woman has no regrets over role in Tsarnaev burial

DOSWELL, Va. � The Virginia woman whose actions led to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev being buried about 30 miles north of her Richmond home said the angry backlash from local officials, some cemetery neighbors and online critics has been unpleasant, but she has no regrets.
�I can�t pretend it�s not difficult to be reviled and maligned,� Martha Mullen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday. �But any time you can reach across the divide and work with people that are not like you, that�s what God calls us to do.�
Tsarnaev, 26, was quietly buried Thursday at a small Islamic cemetery in rural Caroline County. His body had remained at a Worcester, Mass., funeral parlor since he was killed April 19 in a gunfight with police, days after the bombings that killed three and injured more than 260 in downtown Boston. Cemeteries in Massachusetts and several other states refused to accept the remains. With costs to protect the funeral home mounting, Worcester police appealed for help finding a place to bury Tsarnaev.
Mullen said she was at a Starbucks when she heard a radio news report about the difficulty finding a burial spot for Tsarnaev. �My first thought was Jesus said love your enemies,� she said. Then she had an epiphany.
�I thought someone ought to do something about this � and I am someone,� Mullen said.
So Mullen, a mental health counselor in private practice and a graduate of United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, sent emails to various faith organizations to see what could be done. She heard back from Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia, which arranged for a funeral plot at the Al-Barzakh cemetery. �It was an interfaith effort,� she said.
Mullen, a member of the United Methodist Church, said she was motivated by her own faith and that she had the full support of her past o r.
�Nobody is without sin,� she said. �Certainly this was a horrific act, but he�s dead and what happened is between him and God. We just need to bury his body and move forward. People were making an issue and detracting from the healing that needed to take place.�

Nothing 5 gallons of pig blood poured on him won't cure!

Doswell is rightat exit 98 on I95 in VA

A few bones and a gut pile. Nothing there to care about either way.

I would tell her The Lord said , "Let the dead bury the dead."

I don't believe in desecrating or defiling places like graves, but I sure wouldn't lose any sleep if any local folks had at it in this case...

Well now thiers a thing called Cremating very little cost an they could have put ashes in the tolit if wanted to No big deal

At least now people know where to go take a pizz.

Now that's thinking.

I can't believe anybody gives a schit what they did with the body but this country IS right rimmin' full of dumbphucks. Probably should have just cremated him and thrown the ashes in the landfill. Personally I couldn't care less what became of him.

I believe it is against the Muslim Religion to Cremate

So don't ask a muslim to burn him up. Problem solved.

"WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!! ?"

The burial site will probably be turned into a museum of sorts and somebody will make a million out of this deal.

Say he should have been buried at sea with his buddy Osama.

His grave is the new antimecca. If I make the pilgrimage, I ain't just takin a pizz.


The word is disinter, ya know, exhume. Folk act like it ain't easy to undo. It is. Can be easily and quickly undone. Only problem is that hogs will not eat an embalmed body.

I wonder why. The will eat diesel soaked corn and not bat an eye. They will eat just about anything.

So what.

I'm just saying that is why they didn't cremate. They weren't about to insult Islam or Obama would have had Holder prosecute them

I can't believe a landfill somewhere wouldn't take him?

What self-respecting landfill would ?


Mike

Reach across the divide?

Is that like Lazarus reaching across the gulf to cool a tongue with wetted finger?

Or is that like Republicans reaching across the aisle to appease Communist devils and their muslim imps who mean to destroy America?

Someone needs tell this twit God never called her to do either.
And she better wake TFU.
Dumbass.


Really...

Must have stopped off for coffee between Cabela's and the shooting range.


Love them, yes.

Coddle them, play nicey-nicey games of tiddly winks, and make believe with them that everything is A-Okay, no.

It's too bad this guy didn't have a chance to "love" you back.
Dumbass.

Better luck next time.

No.
That was a brain fart.

Most people know the difference by the smell.
Dumbass.

There is no interfaith.
Dumbass.

The bible clearly states you're either for Him or against Him.



Liar.

Never met the Lamb of God, did ya.
Let alone receive what His blood did for you.


Not as horrific as rejecting the blood of the Lamb like you and he have.

Maybe you'll have adjoining cells and since you two missed your opportunity here he can love you long time down there.


No it isn't.
He's in satan's living room now.



Healing?

HEALING!?!

Dead bodies and legs blown completely off don't heal.
Dumbass.
