For a majority of thone who voted, the cemetery was probably not the entire issue. It's quite possible that they anticipated the eventual construction of a mosque and perhaps even a cultural centre alongside the proposed cemetery. Anyone who lives close to a house 
of worship of any faith is guaranteed to experience traffic chaos in his/her neighbourhood at least one day a week and an increase in noise. I am not completely certain that Islamophobia was the sole factor that determined the outcome of the vote.
