Muslims - what a cheek !

The whole immigration and asylum situation in the UK never ceases to
amaze me, but when I read this I could not believe it.
Even as I come to write it here now I am still staggered.
Three Muslims from Oldham, whose partners died in the UK, wanted the
local council to pay for the funerals abroad, in Bangladesh, Pakistan and
Iran.
The cost ranged from 1,000 pounds to 3,500 pounds in Iran.
All three are on benefits (so much for immigrants bringing work and
prosperity to the UK) and asked for the council to pay for the funerals.
When the local council refused they took them to court and said it breached
their human rights !.
They lost their case (thankfully) but where does this all end.
