text: The politics of Muslim cemeteries have sprung up recently in Dudley, Mass. (pop.: 11,390); Walpole, Mass. (pop.: 24,070); Farmington, Minnesota (pop.: 21,086); Carlisle, Pennsylvania (pop.: 18,916); and Farmersville, Texas (pop.: 3,301), reports the Associated Press.Apr 26, 2016Not only is it Muslim cemeteries that are being forced upon us, it s also Mosques. With the help of our Department of Justice, towns are being threatened if they don t cave to the construction of mega Mosques:Over the past decade, the total number of mosques in the US has continued to grow at a tremendous rate.
