Oh, Texas Christians. Adorable.

Yeah, they're not that bright. It's not as if the cemetery is being built over an existing christian cemetery and everyone who dies is going to have to be buried in that cemetery. The only reasonable argument is the burial methods used by Muslims and I'm not even sure its that bad of a problem.

The interesting part is that this satire website is the only source for the quotes and names used. Most of their posts are obvious satire but in this one they started with a true title and fabricated all the other details. As an FYI Bobby Thingpen was a pro baseball player.

Islam is supposed to be contained and extinguished, not accepted into the west. Nothing good will come of worshiping the pedophile Mohammad today.

Just to take the other side of the issue, do you think rural highly uneducated Muslims of name that middle-eastern country would be cool with a bunch of stodgy old white christian people being buried on their land?

This sort of thing is just embarrassing. What are they afraid of? A Zombie jihad?
[–] A_Goat 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
I am not afraid of Muslims, but I am afraid of Zombie Muslims. And Zombie Christian, and Zombie Budhists, and Zombie Atheists. Come to think of it I am afraid of Zombies regardless of their spiritual views or lack of them.
Or at least I was afraid until I found my shotgun.

Something something dealing with all the religious zombies in this fashion...

Remember to aim for the head. And what every you do, don't forget the zombie squirrels!

"Muslim zombie jihad in rural texas" would make an awesome video game. Especially if you can play the zombies.

You get a up vote for the great idea. I befit would be even better than "Defend Your Nuts"

Dead Muslims can do exactly what dead Christians can do - nothing.

I for one, don't care. They can do whatever they want on their land.

24/7 news cycle doesn't have enough stories so they give air time to every fucking idiot with anything to say, no matter what who or why.
[–] JesTheRed 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)
Oh fuck. I've been sitting here laughing that people on Voat thought this was real, then on a whim did a fucking search and it absolutely fucking is. Goddamn it Texas.
This is the worst-written "real article that actually could be satire" I've ever seen. It could run in the Onion and fit right the fuck in.
But it's real. FFS.

I know it's wrong but my sides...

The post is from a satire site. So instead of using the real cringe worthy quotes, they do make up their own quotes and names. I think they hope the fake ones they make will get quoted in other blogs.

Dirty OR diseased. There's an important and telling subtlety there...

It's SO hilarious when the "private property" people suddenly have objections too what OTHER people are doing on their own private property.
[–] Broc_Lia ago
How are these "private property" people? They sound alot more like statists to me.
[–] CaptOblivious ago
When those texans are defending thier right to do whatever they want with THEIR private property, and then turn around and complain about what someone else wants to do on property they own the texans hypocrisy becomes obvious and their previous protestations become the stuff of ridicule.
