‘If Muslims want to bury their bodies, then send them to their country’, Japan rejected the demand for a cemetery, no compromise on culture.

Whenever we hear the name of Japan, a clean and culturally rich country dances before our eyes. In Japan, the method of children’s education, from their education to their grooming, is quite different and interesting. The culture here is the identity of this place and they never compromise with it. Many times this country has to get embroiled in controversies, something similar is happening right now. A decision of Japan is currently under discussion.

In fact, the demand of the Muslims living here was that a separate cemetery should be built for them in Japan, where they could bury the bodies of their loved ones after their death. When the issue reached the Parliament, during the Parliament session, MP Mizuho Umemura clearly rejected the demand for expansion of Muslim cemeteries in the country. He says that in Japan, more than 99 percent of the people are cremated as per tradition and this is the culture of Japan.

Why did Japan reject the demand for a cemetery?

Japanese MP Umemura said – ‘The demand for Muslim cemeteries is not acceptable. There is a cremation tradition in Japan. The right way for Muslims is to send the bodies of their loved ones to their countries and bury them there. This statement has come at a time when Japan’s female Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is a conservative leader with a strong stance. He is often known for his Japan First policy. She has said many times that foreign workers are welcome, but they have to follow the rules, regulations and traditions of Japan.
