The only facts you know are 1 & 2

3 is conjecture as is your following statement

You're also assuming that the objection is on the basis of religion.

Can't possibly be conjecture. Burbage Parish Council have already called (and had) an extraordinary council meeting about this (behind closed doors though, so I'll put forward the conjecture that the parish councillors are bricking themselves) ;) ;)

Knowing that councils are riven with pc, I bet that was an interesting meeting. Who do we please, the gypos or Peace Religion? Easy decision when it's the indigenous majority V a minority. But minority V minority?

Only one that will end up screwed will be the council tax payer. Every time.
 
Why wasn't the muslim family told to move plots?

I'm not aware that anyone was TOLD to move plots.

If you're asking why the council had the idea of offering a different plot before the burial, rather than asking the other family to dig up their old feller, I expect it was because they thought it would be preferable.
 
Well I don't fancy the muslims chances on this one. The romas will stick to their guns.

Seeing as the Roma grave has already been "bricked up" , I can't see any complaint from the Muslim family being upheld. (but ya just get this gut feeling it will)

On a very similar vein, I seem to remember a potential conflict between the interests of muslims and homosexuals. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the details, but I do remember thinking 'I wonder which minority will come out on top'.

What a quandary!

The plot probably belongs to someone else. Bet the gypsy will be dropped in when no one else is looking. ;)

Then you try getting the fecker out. :LOL:

OK then - substantiate anything other than the two known facts (without conjecture). At the moment all you've done is find a Daily Mail type headline with few facts and lots of conjecture.

The fact you've built an argument on two facts and the rest being guesswork is symptomatic of most of the threads in this forum on the anti-Islam subject.

Again - try reading the article and looking for facts.

The article says "bricked out" (prior to the burial) - not bricked up.
 
Ahh, Newboy,, yet another apologist......... Why do you think the parish council had an extraordinary meeting? More to the point, why do you think they barred the public and the press, from attending? Let's have your conjecture on this. ;) ;) ( I bet you have absolutely no idea (and will say so, or ask me what I and others think) ) :rolleyes:

EDIT,, You seem intolerant of those who view things differently from you (and very intolerant of those who view the RoP as a threat) I wonder why?
 
Lets look at this issue carefully, and admittedly, a little reading between the lines, which might be considered conjecture.
First of all, a lot of faiths require that the deceased are buried amongst those of the same faith, wherever possible.
"As an Orthodox Jew, one would like to be in consecrated ground, with fellow Jewish people. There are some people who aren't as Orthodox but they are Jewish and they want to buried with the same sort of people. That's why we go for Jewish ground as opposed to multi-cultural ground," he said

The graveyard would be able to comply fully with Sharia law which states Muslims are traditionally buried in their own section of land, next to others of the same faith.

Secondly, we can assume that Parish Councils etc are fully aware of this, and especially those that operate and publicise themselves as multi-faith.

Thirdly, the article states that the council “cocked up”:
This was not our fault. It’s the council’s cock-up. Before we bought the plots I even asked if it would be a problem and was told it would be fine.
From the oiginal aticle
Fourthly, from the original article, the Parish Council contacted the Gypsy family on Monday, perhaps when they were aware of the preparation of the plot. The funeral wasn’t until Friday.
The article was written on Friday.
So, alternative arrangements could have been made.
Reading between the lines, I would suspect that the plots were mistakenly sold to the Gypsies, after some reassurance at some previous time was given to the Muslims that the area was reserved for Muslims, an attempt was made by the Parish council (buying back one of the plots for planting of a hedge, alternatives plots) but then a certain amount of intransigence was in evidence:
“The grave was already being dug and bricked out when we had a call last Monday at 5.45pm from Julie Perrin at the parish council asking us if we could move plots.
“We said no - we bought the land and it was too late to find another plot.
“We have no issues with the Muslim family. I think they were under the impression it was a Muslim plot but it isn’t. But they should have tolerance to us.”
So who is at fault? Clearly the Council made a mistake which they tried to correct. The Gypsies were intransigent because they had the plot that they wanted. The Muslims have behaved in accordance with their contract with the Council, and in accordance with their faith.

Yet again the title of the thread suggests it was all the fault of the Muslims.
 
Just picked this out from your drivel reindeer.....(eyes glazed over at the rest)

"First of all, a lot of faiths require that the deceased are buried amongst those of the same faith, wherever possible."

Then don't get buried in a multi faith cemetery.
Simples.
