Editor’s note: Below is the text of an open letter Forest Lake Councilwoman Mara Bain wrote to the Washington County Board of Commissioners. She requested that it be reprinted on The Times’ commentary page.

Photo by Derrick KnutsonSomeone near the proposed cemetery site placed this homemade sign in the ditch that conveys the opinion of the neighbors in the area.
There were back-and-forth discussions between commissioners and even a member of the public forcing down tears Dec. 21 just prior to the Chisago County Board voting 3-2 to deny a conditional use permit application that would have allowed an Islamic cemetery to be constructed in south Chisago Lake Township.
Commissioners George McMahon, Lora Walker and Rick Greene voted against the proposal, with commissioners Mike Robinson and Ben Montzka voting in favor.broadstreet.zone(48036);
Enes Gluhic, speaking after the meeting for the Islamic Community of Bosniaks in Minnesota, the group looking to have a 2-acre cemetery on a 16-acre plot of land near Lofton Avenue and 261st Street, said he was disheartened by the decision, but not surprised.
“I expected a lot of pushback, just because of the religious aspect of
