Excerpt:
The first publicly-run Muslim cemetery is to be established in Strasbourg, fulfilling the expectations of the city's Muslim community, which makes up 10% of the population.
A convention is to be signed today for the building of the cemetery by Mayor Roland Ries, President of the National Council for the Muslim Faith, Mohammed Moussaoui, and by president of the Alsace Regional Council, Driss Ayachour.
The site has already been chosen, and soil studies carried out.
