Texas residents oppose Muslim cemetery

SHAFAQNA – According to AP, a plan for a Muslim cemetery faced opposition from some residents who are trying to convince community leaders to block the project.

David J. Meeks, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, told The Dallas Morning News: “The concern for us is the radical element of Islam. How can we stop a mosque or madrassa training center from going in there?” He said he thinks the cemetery would be the first step toward a broader Muslim expansion in town.
