TEXAS---Concerned citizens who packed into a local high school cafeteria for a town hall meeting in Farmersville last week to discuss a proposed Muslim cemetery agree on one thing - there is very little agreement to be found in the meeting itself, but they can agree fear and divided opinions remain. With a population just over 3,000, the town made national headlines this summer when a proposal for to build a Muslim cemetery was brought before a May 28 Planning and Zoning meeting. Alarmed citizens have shown up at every public meeting since -- with standing room only -- to protest and voice concern. [link]
