[Oita] In the Hinode town mayoral election， Abe， who is “firmly opposed” to the construction of an Islamic burial cemetery， seeks a third term， defeating the incumbent and winning for the first time， saying， “There are future risks and it should not be built．”
Muslim burial cemetery in the Kansai region The election for mayor of Hiji town in Oita prefecture, which was held due to the expiration of the current mayor’s term, was held on the 25th, and independent candidate and former town council member and management consultant Tetsuya Abe (56) won his first election, defeating independent incumbent Hirofumi Honda (71), who was seeking a third term. Plans were underway to build a large Islamic burial ground in the town, but Abe was adamantly opposed, while Honda accepted it. The election results mean that townspeople have put a stop to the construction of a highly unusual burial cemetery in which bodies will be continuously transported to Hinode town from all over Kyushu, and once all the plots are filled, bodies will continue to be filled from above. [Map] Major Islamic burial cemeteries in Japan In the town, an Islamic religious corporation in Beppu City, Fukushima Prefecture, has purchased approximately 5,000 square meters of town land and plans to build 79 burial cemetery plots. In an agreement signed between the religious corporation and residents in May last year, it was agreed that the corporation would accept bodies from each prefecture in Kyushu, and that if there were not enough plots, bodies could be interred one on top of the other 20 years after the burial. Procedures for selling town-owned land in the planned area are underway. The town is known as a village of spring water, and residents have strong opposition to the plan due to concerns about water pollution and damage to their reputation. Honda has maintained his position that “if the requirements are met, we will have no choice but to grant permission,” and local media has barely mentioned the issue as an election issue. In the midst of this, Abe resigned from his position as town council member and ran for office, arguing that “considering the future risks, the construction should not take place,” and garnered support from the townspeople. The number of voters on the day was 23,021. The voter turnout was 54.66%. ◇ Hinode Town Mayoral Election Results (final results from the Election Commission) 8037 Abe Tetsuya, Independent, New Candidate 4474 Honda Hirofumi, Independent, Incumbent Published 8/25 (Sun) 22:23.
>>1 The majority of residents’ choice is correct. Japanese people are incompatible with the unique aspects of religions, including Islam, and it is natural to reject the parts of customs that are incompatible and cause trouble. You have to be careful of new religions that emerged around the time of the war, such as those that force people to convert or brainwash people to exclude others, even if it is just a little bit coercive.
>>1 Polytheism is evil, idolatry, Buddhism is evil, and destruction and enslavement are the fundamental teachings Trend points in Islam @ Return to the oneness of God, worship of the graves of saints is also no good, destruction and elimination of heresy @ Institutional ideas from the Middle Ages onwards that did not exist in ancient Islam are no good @ Expulsion of foreigners from European thought systems Not democracy, but rule by the Muslim community Not rule by positive law by the administrative parliament, but rule by Islamic law @ Fundamentalism of divine revelation that is only the Koran and Sharia Policies are divided into three factions 1. Those who are laissez-faire with positive law, those who are not interested in real politics 2. Those who make an effort within the democratic parliament 3. Those who are militant and militant like the old left wing.
The G7 countries, which have gender equality, are experiencing declining birth rates, so they are bringing in immigrants from male-dominated countries.
>Once all the sections are filled, they continue filling from the top. This is also the case with American Christian-style graves. There are few permanent graves. Burials are made under contracts that are renewed every 10 or 20 years or several years. When the contract expires or is not renewed, the grave marker is removed. A new person is buried on top of the previous person’s grave, which has a certain thickness, and a grave marker is erected. The Japanese Buddhist style of graves, which are based on permanent graves and continue to charge money for anniversaries, is rare even in the world.
I think it would be better not to grant Islam religious corporation status if it is not possible to convert. It goes against freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, and violates the Japanese Constitution.
>>16 This issue is inseparable from the issue of voting rights for foreigners. National voting rights are not recognized, but if they were recognized, the demands of Islam, Kurds, and other natives would be met with great speed. There are already some places where voting rights are recognized in local governments. This Hiji Town in Oita Prefecture does not seem to have been recognized, but I don’t know what would have happened if it had been recognized.
America has almost no concept of protecting one’s grave. Contract renewal is rational. It is possible to maintain the grave until one dies, but if one wants to impose that burden on one’s children, one should give them money to renew the contract. Most people don’t go that far, but it’s not impossible and there are still some left. It’s a rational country.
There are no graves for abandoned dead in America. If there is no renewal, the grave markers are removed. The remains are placed deep underground, and the next person can be found above them, and so on, creating a three-dimensional cemetery. After a few decades of contact with the soil, most of the remains return to the soil, becoming unrecognizable.
Abe resigned from his position as a town council member and ran for office, arguing that “considering the future risks, the construction should not take place,” and garnered support from the townspeople. If he declared that and won, then that must represent the will of the people of Hinode Town, Oita Prefecture. You Muslim natives should be fully aware that people hate you. It’s often the case that people talk big during elections, but when the truth comes out, they’re actually weak-kneed.
Ah, sorry, so a staunch opponent of Islamic cemeteries was elected. Well, that would normally be the natural course of events, but I wondered if they had done something again. That’s the kind of story I’ve been hearing lately. I get blocked here every day too lol.
I feel like it might be possible to take over a more depopulated, shitty rural municipality. I’m afraid that towns and villages that are too small will need to be merged with their neighbors.
The only problem is, does the mayor have the authority to stop burials? I’m sure there is no law banning burials, right? If burials were banned, even members of the imperial family would have to be cremated.
