28-year-old Christian man's funeral took a surprising twist at the Helsinki Malmi cemetery when the deceased's Muslim relatives arrived at the grave and took the lead in the funeral. - Upon reaching the gravesite all of a sudden Muslim men jumped out from the thicket and replaced the Finnish pallbearers and the Imam began to lead the service, "the pastor, Jukka Simoila said.
The 28-year-old deceased became a Christian in December 2008 and got married last summer in a Christian ceremony. His father was a Muslim. The deceased died of serious illness in September and had hoped for a Christian funeral. The Christian man's wife and mother-in-law had handled the funeral arrangements because the Muslim relatives did not want to be involved with it. The Muslims' only wish was that the deceased would be buried, not cremated.
The Muslims' actions at the funeral came as complete surprise to the Christians relatives. They stood shocked at the unexpected turn. An Imam came along with the Muslim men and began to read a prayer in Arabic. The Imam also swept the cross formulated out of sand by the chapel pastor, off the coffin. - People were just overcome with grief and wondering what was happening there. Their emotions were such, they were not able to react to the situation, but let it go, pastor Simoila said.
Pastor Simoila said about the surprise guests: - The worst thing was that they did not respect the content of the Christian funeral. - The Imam wiped off the sand crafted into the cross from the coffin. This was a Christian's funeral, and he shouldn't have touched it in any way. I take it as a provocation that this is how to act.

He is in the hands of God. Beyond the reach of the Death Cult.
Nope, they need to be dealt with the way Vlad the Impaler dealt with them.
God already holds the soul in his hands.
The coffin and the cells composing of a body are just left-overs and symbols for the friends and family to properly grieve over.
OTOH- this is absolutely obscene.
Wonder how they would feel if the tables were turned!
These are the same crazies who get incensed over a cartoon!!!
Muslims percieve, correctly, that they are ascendent in Europe.
Native Europeans should ask themselves what it was that this convert knew that compelled him to choose Jesus, at such a risk.
Yes, this is a worldwide religious war, waged by Muslims against pagans and all other religions.
I was surprised they didn’t dump the man’s body out of the coffin and tear it to pieces.
