“It portrayed America at its worst”

That's a quote from Martha Mullen with regard to the furor over burying Tamerlin Tsarnaev.  She's just an average person who upon listening to the cacophony decided that "maybe I’m the one person who needs to do something.” She contacted the Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia, who agreed to perform the burial. She, Peter Stefan, the Worcester funeral director and the Funeral Services are to be commended.

Here is part of the statement issued by the Funeral Services,“What Tsarnaev did is between him and God. We strongly disagree with his violent actions, but that does not release us from our obligation to return his body to the earth"
