Muslim Cemetery Proposal In Massachusetts Sparks Debate In Small Town Of Dudley

Residents of the quiet, rural town of Dudley, Massachusetts, are up in arms over plans to build a Muslim cemetery on 55 acres of old farmland. Hundreds of people turned out for a public hearing last week to raise their concerns.

“I am very against this cemetery going in and don’t see why it has to come to little old Dudley,” Gail Donahue said at the meeting, according to WBUR, a Boston NPR affiliate.
