Muslim Community: Muslim Families and Muslim-Owned Cemetery

muslim community: But for months now, this small town has been at the centre of growing controversy drawing attention across the province and even the country, according to CTV. The question should the Muslim community have its own cemetery in Saint-Apollinaire It all comes down to a vote in a local referendum on Sunday. It's not the kind of place that normally makes headlines. We knew there could be controversy, but we didn't expect it to go this far, said Mayor Bernard Ouellet, adding that it's an issue he never expected. When there is a death in the area, most Muslim families bury their loved ones near Montreal or repatriate their bodies to their birth countries. There is no Muslim-owned cemetery in Quebec City.
