What is wrong with this person!? They could have freely buried this person anywhere but they expect others to take action because they are offended.


Muslims Think They Should Be Allowed to Ban ‘Others’ From Public Cemetery


Over the weekend the family of a Muslim man buried in a British cemetery demanded that a man of Gypsy descent be dug up and moved away after his burial near their loved one. The Muslims claimed that in their “religion of peace” it wasn’t permitted to have a Gypsy buried near a Muslim and so demanded the right to control who is allowed to be buried in a public, non-denominational cemetery.

The controversy arose in Lychgate Lane cemetery in the town of Brubage in central England after Shadrack Smith, a man of Romany Gypsy descent, was buried on Friday.

Smith’s family bought three plots in the cemetery but as soon as the Muslims found out they began demanding that the cemetery force the Gypsy family move to another section of the cemetery. The Smiths purposefully chose their plots, though, and refused to acquiesce to the move.

The cemetery is run by the Brubage city council which, for some idiotic reason, is taking responsibility for a “cock up.”

Chairman of the parish council, Councillor Richard Flemming told the media it was all the council’s fault.

Burbage Parish Council provides an award-winning cemetery for the benefit of the whole community. The cemetery is multi-faith and non-denominational, providing a number of interment and memorial options in a peaceful, serene, picturesque environment.

If they're going to claim burial next to gypsy is haraam, they must provide daleel.
I'd be interested to read said daleel.
 
well, the people that run the cemetery should have told them no and to move on, why is this even news?

tell them no and move the fuck on, jesus christ, people these days...
