What a hot argument!!! I wonder how it would have been if you guys have been together in the same room.
My personal belief is: I am sure if the Hindus are allowed to cremate their deads in the UK, the Councils would want them to have it in some kind of remote place where people would not smell the supposedly odour coming from teh rotting bodies.
How many of you have actually witnessed a Hindu cremation. I have witnessed many. I can assure you that at no point in time I could smell bad odour. The Hindus(at least in the country I was born) put all sorts of stuff that have good smell on the pyre.So while burning, they emit some nice smell.
On a personal level I respect people beliefs. The Hindus in UK pays a lot of taxes and are the least scroungers on the state( I hope Brit expat will agree with me)..So, why not allow them to practice their belief. Anyway, they are in a minority. And not all hindus would want to be cremated that way.
They have not asked much from the UK which is becoming a fast pluri-cultural country. Whether you like it or not, UK people has to adapt to this situation of pluri-culture. Most of the europeans at this current point in time must have links to other countries. Now they see it as normal with the passage of time. But before, each nation would marry their own kind.
What's the harm in open air cremation? How many dead bodies will be burned everyday, anyway as opposed to the amount of fumes coming out exhaust pipes? Of course I will disagree if they do on the bank of the Thames in Central London.
End of the day, if the UK government have laws that allow it , so be it! At least they are not doing illegal things illegally some other nationalities are doing in the UK, like witchcraft, drugs and sex slaves?
One thing I might see coming is the Govt. imposing some taxes on them( they need the money since they spent billions in saving banks....hahahah) for polluting the air and the global warming stuff.
BTW, I am not Hindu, I am a Muslim who respect my Hindu and Christians fellow human being.
