I have to admit, I don't understand the need for separate burial grounds for ANY group.  It seems to me this speaks to the larger, fundamental question of what kind of society we want, say we want, and the demands we make about, desire for inclusion.  This seems to me a contradiction to claim, demand, want, desire inclusion on one hand but in death we want separation?  What does it mean to be inclusive?  I'd certainly be interested in understanding this issue more - because I suspect the reason for the vote might be a bit more complex that just not wanting people wearing Muslim garb in their neighbourhood?  I hope anyway. 

BTW, on a less serious note, cremation is so much more sensible,  practical - as opposed to the slow melt of the human body.
