Few details are missing to complete the Muslim cemetery in Strasbourg. The first in the history of the French Republic, to be funded with public money: € 800 thousand invested by the local government. It will be open on February 6 and, on a land of 1 ha in the south of the city, it will accommodate about a thousand graves. A large gate at the entrance, a high wall, seemingly no different from the burial sites of other monotheistic religions, but the orientation of the bodies towards Mecca and rooms equipped for washing, make it a special place. A tangible sign of integration made possible thanks to the fact that, in this part of France, does not apply the 1905 law on secularism that prevents state governments to allocate funds for the various religious cults.
