During town meetings on the proposal, residents of Dudley have said
they are concerned that burial practices could contaminate groundwater
because Muslims traditionally do not embalm bodies and bury their dead
without coffins. They have also cited concerns about noise, vandalism
and increased traffic on the narrow road where the cemetery would be
built.
One resident said he worried he would have to listen to “crazy music” like the Islamic call to prayer.
Nope, no discrimination there!
“All Americans have the right to worship and to bury their loved ones in accordance with their religious beliefs, free from discrimination,” Ortiz said.
No problem whatsoever with this, but, then again, I believe I have a right to a “Sky Funeral” in my own backyard.
