Texans threaten to cover land with pigs' blood to block Muslim cemetery

A group of residents in Farmersville, Texas said they are prepared to put pigs' heads on spikes and pour pigs' blood on a plot of land where a Muslim cemetery will be established.

The members of the group say they object to the cemetery not because they hate Muslims, but because they will be poisoned if the cemetery becomes operational:

"When somebody dies they bury them at that time. They don't know whether they were shot, diseased or anything else. All they do is wrap them in a sheet from the grave and bury them," Troy Gosnell told the local CBS station.

Patricia Munroe voiced fears that local drinking water could be polluted.

"We used to grow onions here. We sure enough don't want to be growing bodies," said another resident, Mont Hendrick.

The Farmersville city council will meet and decide whether or not to move forward with the plan.
