Dying in Dhimmitude

Nottingham City Council is building a new £2.5 million multi-faith cemetery in Bulwell. What is noteworthy is that "multi-faith" in Nottingham means that all the graves, including the Christian ones, will face Mecca. According to Steve Dowling, services director for Environment and Public Protection,
In the first phase of development it has been agreed that the graves will face north east.

For people of the Muslim faith this fits in with a religious requirement, but it will also ensure a tidy appearance for the site as a whole.
What a great slogan: Keep Britain Tidy, Accept Dhimmitude.

Tip o' the hat to Drinking From Home.

    How horrible to be in a grave facing east. Good to know that while bi-partisan rifts are widening you're doing your part by confronting the really important issues. Let's ignore the fact that being buried facing east is part of other religions, including some forms of Christianity.
