Muslim Air Force Pilot Dies: Funeral Pictures

[Salika]

In my hometown, a young Muslim airforce pilot, Ali Jivanjee, died while conducting training exercises over the Gulf of Mexico.

CAIR got involved to bring the local Muslim community in as well as to ensure that proper Islamic burial practices took place. There are some pictures as well, which I thought were very interesting.

Folks, Muslims are Americans and Americans are Muslims. I really thought these pictures were beautiful.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon. May his soul rest in peace.

It's a safe bet he didn't.

from the way the women dress and the style/colour of the mens' hats.

Yes, those are most likely Bohras...their clothing is very distinctive...

May he buried next to those he loves, next to those whom he supports and takes as protecting guardians...and may he be raised up with them as well.

Hm, that's very interesting. I didn't know. To me it just looked like desi clothing. Thanks for the info

But if he was so ordered to perform his duties in these conflicts then either he should do so, or resign. Pick and chose surely is just is not an option

Someone died, save your empty rhetoric for another time and show some damn respect.

inna illahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon

Funny I thought you were silent and sulking because I didn't answer your last question.

As to the reverence of your silly remark, it was blatently clear that my comment related to the post that specifically dealt with the personal conscious of anyone in military service. I suggest you try to behave with a little more restraint.

I suggest you leave. But, alas, we don't always get what we want.
