A Place to Rest in Their Own Damn Country

We are unkind, right now: 

There are relatively few dedicated Muslim cemeteries around the country, so many Muslim communities use sections of other cemeteries to bury their dead.

In Dudley, the proposal from the Islamic Society of Greater Worcester has been met with angry comments at local meetings.

“You want a Muslim cemetery? Fine. Put it in your backyard, not mine,” Daniel Grazulis said during a zoning meeting in February, drawing a round of applause.

Jason Talerman, a lawyer for the Islamic Society, said he believes the opposition is rooted in Islamophobia.

“They like to say it under the guise of, ‘Oh, we’re just trying to protect our water supply,’ but it’s thinly veiled,” he said.

Desiree Moninski, who lives across the street from the site, once farmed by her grandparents, said she and other opponents have legitimate concerns that have nothing to do with Islam.

“I grew up here. It’s farmland, and I’d like to see it stay that way,” she said.

How do you get so broken that y0u would deny the dead a resting place because … seriously, what do you think, that when the vampires all rise up the Muslim ones will be more dangerous than WASP Nosferatu? Like they’ll be terrorist dead bodies? FFS. What do you get out of yelling at a town meeting about something like this?

  1. well, the last thing you’d want when the dead rise is a bunch of Muslim zombies roaming the neighborhood in search of halal brains.

    1. No worries. Sounds like in that neighborhood, any zombies would promptly starve.

  2. Reblogged this on SUICIDE BOMBERS MAGAZINE and commented:
    Quit nagging and moaning. Burial grounds are Muslims Property. If neighbors ain’t respect dead then they ain’t worthy neighbors. Have ‘em arrested if they go physical. America is for sale. If neighbors won’t like to live near Muslim Cemetery move to Israeli breeding grounds they probably like it there..
