REFERRING to the repatriation of troops who have been killed in Afghanistan, I have seen all age groups and several nationalities (including some Gurkhas), but so far, no Muslims.

I know that there is neither obligation nor compulsion for people to come to the JR to pay their respects, but I wonder why no-one prominent in the Muslim community has yet done so, as far as I know. Can anyone elucidate?
