Texas residents condemn plan for Muslim cemetery

[Desk trauma]

DALLAS — Muslims say they're looking for a place to bury their dead. Locals say it's a plot to gain a foothold in their small rural Texas town.

A proposal to bring a Muslim cemetery to Farmersville has stoked fears among residents who are vehemently trying to convince community leaders to block the project.

"How can we stop a mosque or madrassa training center from going in there?" he asked, referring to a type of Islamic school.

You know, if I was part of a religion allegedly determined to destroy America, my first target would certainly be a small town of 3500 in Texas, where I would build a cemetery in which to bury dead Muslims. Because dead Muslims buried in a small town is surely the best way to initiate Jihad and Sharia law across the nation.

What I find interesting is that the minister would come out and say that he is not in favor of religious freedom. You don't get to stop religions your don't like from building on property they lawfully attained.

People need to wake up and smell the hummus.

Sad scared fools. I pity them.

Happens a lot when you plan to have your ashes scattered someplace rather well trafficked.

How can anybody object to a Muslim cemetery? These poor, grieving families just want to bury their dead loved ones and people try to stop them.

Unless radical Islam has mastered Necromancy, I don't see the threat.

Who cares if they want a cemetery? And who cares if it leads to a mosque? My town has several times as many people as this town and only has one small mosque that's basically a converted house.

Islam has figured out how to start the zombie apocalypse, now they just need to plant enough that follow the Shariah to start their zombie army.

Back to reality, I'm sorry.
People want, need to bury their dead. If they can buy the land,
they can plant their people. If they want the town to provide a cemetery then I oppose that.

As for the question:
""How can we stop a mosque or madrassa training center from going in there?" he asked, referring to a type of Islamic school."
I don't believe you legally can. Except by not having any land available for sell.
Equal rights means people have the right to follow their religion, as long as it is peacefully done.

 

[Billnew]

Really freak them out.
The Muslim's could set up a range on their church property and target practice.
Rednecks do it, so can Muslims.
As long as they aren't encouraging unrest, they are law abiding.

Even in Texas?

Hey....don't mess with Texas!

Seems to me that if a certain sort of people think that the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim, they'd welcome all these good Muslims into their community.

There is already one Muslim cemetery further west on highway 380 near Denton.

So? Does the fact that one exists negate the possibility of another existing? Would that argument apply to other things? "There's already a hospital/fire station/grocery store/McDonalds/pizza place a bit down the highway, so there's no point in allowing another."

People have the right to bury their dead and even have a mosque. I'm no fan of the Islamic faith at all myself, but they have the right to the same things I do.

Well, apparently the Texan Muslims are dropping like flies to the extent that their Texan cemeteries are filling up so fast they need new ones.

A woman from Italy once asked me, as we were walking through a local cemetery, how long Americans were allowed to stay in their graves. The question surprised me as I always thought - as much as I had thought about it - "forever." She told me that where she comes from, a person only gets to rest in peace for about 75 years before a new occupant is placed in the hole. Kinda makes sense, as there is an awful lot of dead people in the Old World and not much unoccupied space.

I never have understood the logic behind taking up huge tracts of land to bury dead people when that land could be put to much better use for pretty much anything else.

I remember reading a few years ago how graves in Europe are only temporary.
The article was about how Hitler's mother was going to be thrown out of her grave.

Back during the war in Bosnia, I remember seeing news video of Christian Serbs
digging up their family graves when they evacuated lands Muslims were given.

Something similar is now afoot in Memphis with Nathan Bedford Forest's grave.

Even the dead can no longer rest in peace.
Hopefully this is a sign of the coming resurrection.
