Not only do I believe that terrorists should not get a Muslim funeral, I also think that the Muslim religious leaders should announce that anyone that commits such an act is NOT a real Muslim, and that the Muslim community will throw out (excommunicate) anyone that is found to be involved in terrorism in any way.
The problem, from what I understand from WoodrowLI, is that there are no formal Muslim religious leaders. There are no representatives equivalent to, say, the Pope, or the Archbishop of Canterbury, or the synods (governing bodies) of other Christian denominations. There's no guy or group of guys that the Muslim world overall looks up to for guidance who could take on that responsibility. They don't have a process such as excommunication where someone is tossed out of the religion.
Woodrow or another Muslim is free to correct me if I am wrong.

By by your logic, if we look at a persons entire life and 1% is considered bad, does that mean the other 99% is simply trashed? Really??
The body is simply a vessel. Its up to Allah to judge the soul.
"On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil."
"Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds."
"Man cannot shift his responsibility to vicarious saviors or saints. His redemption depends upon the grace of Allah, for which he should constantly and whole-heartedly strive by means of right conduct. If he does so he will be redeemed."

As a person does not "join" Islam there is nothing to excommunicate them from. Each person that says they are Muslim are accepted as being Muslim Now if they are following Islam that is another story. There is no physical way to prove a person is a Muslim
Burial of anyone is the responsibility of the local community. For a proper burial it should be before sunset the day the person dies.
the body is prepared by family, friends volunteers etc. No fanfare. We are to avoid any crying. the actual burial should be only with the grave diggers present etc.
some of the fancy funerals you see are not in accordance with Islam

What happens when they get to the other side is one thing, but while here on the physical side we certainly can decide not to give a person who kills a bunch of people a proper burial.
I don't care what the other 99 percent of their life is, I only care about the fact they thought it was okay to murder people. If I know someone is a barbaric murderer then that is good enough to me to not give them any respect, and yeah, they are trash to me.
Maybe there are very good things about serial killers too, but I am not going to sympathize with them.
I actually believe in the death penalty for very violent criminals like terrorists and serial killers. They have no place in society. Once they die they can deal with God.

And who are the only one's we see violating this? Palestinians.
