text: there is a difference between anti-Muslim hate and concern regarding the cultural spread of Islamic thought.
  
  There are large numbers of Catholic and Jewish cemeteries in Canada. Denying a Muslim the simple comfort of the burial custom of their religious affiliation, seems simply motivated by animus.
