More than 130 Imams and religious leaders, from different branches of the religion, have refused to carry out the prayers – a tradition performed for all Muslims regardless of their actions.

The Muslim Council of Britain branded the men “cold-blooded murderers” and called the attack “indefensible”.

A statement, posted on the Council’s Facebook page, read: “Coming from a range of backgrounds, and from across the UK; feeling the pain the rest of the nation feels, we have come together to express our shock and utter disgust at these cold-blooded murders.

“We are deeply hurt that a spate of terror attacks have been committed in our country once more by murderers who seek to gain religious legitimacy for their actions.

“Consequently, and in light of other such ethical principles which are quintessential to Islam, we will not perform the traditional Islamic funeral prayer for the perpetrators and we also urge fellow imams and religious authorities to withdraw such a privilege.

“This is because such indefensible actions are completely at odds with the lofty teachings of Islam.
