Rendering of Muslim cemeteries

Postitas michalfabik kuupäeval 21. mai 2017 – English.

While I was fixing a lot of stuff around Sarajevo, it occurred to me that we don’t have a way to render Muslim cemeteries - an important landmark of the cityscape there, and in many other parts of the world too, I’m sure. Some big cemeteries are even divided into Christian and Muslim sections.
Adapting one the existing rendering patterns was easy enough:
landuse=cemetery + religion=muslim
So, how does one officially propose a new way to render an existing feature?

There are other religions too. Jews usually have a separate section … arr Star of David IIRC. Then Buddhists … and so on.

Jewish cemeteries have had their own rendering for quite some time, IIRC. This looks quite strange, from a worldwide point of view, considering how marginal Jews are in numbers (~20 million Jews vs. ~2.5 billion Christians, ~1 billion Muslims or ~0.5 billion Buddhists). I’m all for adding Buddhists or other important religions’ cemeteries, only I know next to nothing about those, or their symbology. I just added what I’m personally familiar with.

Interesting. I agree with you. We need a dedicated rendering.

@Richard, @rorym: Thanks for pointing that out, I opened an issue there and it looks promising.
