It seems even if Muslims are so loyal to their country of residence that they go and fight for them during times of war, they'll still be treated as foriegners and have their graves vandalised.

Another despicable example of the anti-Islamic extremists who promote hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims, not unlike those vocal elements we have here.

The cemetery's Muslim graves have been targeted three times in two years

The graves of as many as 500 Muslim war veterans have been vandalised in northern France, in an attack President Nicolas Sarkozy said was "repugnant".

Gravestones were daubed with swastikas and letters spelling out anti-Islamic slogans at France's biggest military graveyard near Arras in the north-east.

The attack took place on the eve of Islam's Eid al-Adha festival, when Muslims visit the graves of loved ones.

Dozens of police searched the graveyard on Monday as an investigation began.

It is the third time the Muslim sector of the Notre Dame de Lorette cemetery has been attacked.

President Sarkozy called the latest incident "abject and revolting" and said it was "the expression of a repugnant racism directed against the Muslim community of France".

The cemetery holds the graves of tens of thousands of soldiers killed in World War I, including those of 576 Muslims.

The authorities estimated that about 500 graves were damaged. Vandals had sprayed letters on the tombstones which, when linked together, formed anti-Islamic insults, the French news agency AFP said.

The local prosecutor says the damage resembles another act of vandalism in April, for which two young men with neo-Nazi sympathies were later jailed.

One of them had already been jailed for a previous attack on Muslim graves at the cemetery.

Police say security has been reinforced but the site remains difficult to guard.

Well that's very nasty, nothing worse than getting vandalised hips, except perhaps vandalised shoulders (sorry couldn't resist).

I dunno, perhaps you can provide some figures, I've never actually heard of Palestinians vandalising Jewish graves... Have heard of the Israeli government wanting to bulldoze Muslim graveyards though... To make room for a museum of understanding and tolerance, no less 

Two wrongs do not make a right Tallo, even if your baseless assumption is correct, the desecration of these war graves is a disgusting act of vandalism, inspired by cultural hatred, and deserves to be roundly condemned for that alone.

So why don't we hear about muslims condemnation of jewish graves or is it again the case of "some animals more equal then others" and what about non war graves are they ok to desecrate?

Anyhow here is a question for abu. How good was Mohammed the prophet's spelling? (sorry couldn't resist)

Also, about the cemeteries in in Palestinian territories there is none of jewish cemeteries left there because it is something, which is not sacred to palestinian muslims. The muslim cemetery in Jerusalem you referred to was discontinued by muslem council. We already have discussed this issue and that example of muslem hypocrisy was pointed out.

Is abu memeber or ever was member of arab council?

The hypocrisy I referred to was part of moslem howling about Israeli plans to build  on disused cemetery while they were silent about palestinian arabic authority who early had plans to build there car parking.
Pus look what they've done to jewish grave.
Don't you agree that it is hypocritical of them?

Show me where I called abu hypocrite and where I had praised desecration of muslim graves. Put up or go to an eye clinic and remove the log of you atheistic religiosity from your eye. As for me I gave the link to muslim hypocrisy about graves.

1 whos grave was there before moslims desicrated it?

2 as much evidence as modern Koran is unaltered words of Mohammed.

3 Archaeological Find

4 Both religions use graves as place of worship. How about jews go and dismantle Mohammed's grave?


Anyway I state here and now clearly so even a blind atheist can see: . That is why I prefer to be minced after my death and put back to The River whos fish I've taken to eat.
