500 Muslim Soldiers' Tombs Desecrated In France
Unbelievable. Who thought this was in ANY way a good way to make a statement???
500 Muslim Soldiers' Tombs Desecrated In France: "Vandals desecrated at least 500 tombs of Muslim soldiers in northern France on Monday _ an act President Nicolas Sarkozy denounced as 'repugnant racism.'
The desecration near the town of Arras appeared timed with the start of Eid al-Adha, the most important holiday in the Muslim calendar.
The administration for the Pas-de-Calais region said the damaged tombs were in the Muslim section of the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette cemetery, a well-groomed burial ground for World War I soldiers. Some had swastikas scrawled on the tombstone, others had lettering whose meaning was unclear."
