Another Example of Creeping Sharia

Some have asked what is the big deal about letting muslims have time off from their job to pray? Has anyone ever heard of "Give them an inch and they will take a mile?" That is how it is with muslims and their demands. First it is prayer times at work that affect even the non-muslims. Then it is mosques with mineretts to blast the call to prayer across the entire neighborhood. Now in the UK muslims have taken over an entire cemetary on the weekends. This is to allow muslims to bury their dead as soon as possible.

We read: A council has barred a grieving family from burying their stepfather on a Saturday - because he was not Muslim.
Harold 'Charlie' Lemaire died last week aged 75 from pneumonia. His stepdaughter, Jean Maltby, wanted the funeral to be held this Saturday so family who live outside the city could attend.
The retired steel worker's stepson Stephen lives in Dorset while other members of his family live as far away as the Isle of Man.
But when her funeral director called Sheffield's City Road Cemetery to arrange a memorial service followed by burial, he was told the funeral would not be allowed on a Saturday because the family was not Muslim.
The city's council confirmed it does not offer funerals at the weekend except to Muslims, in line with the rules of the Islamic faith that the dead must be buried as soon as possible.
Ms Maltby said today she felt it was unfair to offer weekend funerals to one religion and not to others.
'It should be one rule for everyone - and I don't think the people of Sheffield realise the council has made this decision,' she said.
'It goes against the council's policy of equal rights. They are making a service available to one sector of the community and not another.'...

This is just one more example of special privillages for the muslims. They will be demanding more. That is the way it works with the muslims.
