Notre Dame De Lorette Cemetery: The War On Muslim War Graves Continues
Image source: Wy@rtThe latest installment of Muslim war graves being desecrated in an European countries took place in France last night just before the beginning of the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha.
This attack targeted 500 Muslim graves in France’s biggest military graveyard the Notre Dame de Lorette near Arras.
This is not the first time that a show of hatred towards Muslims who fought for European nations have been carried out.
In April 2007 Muslim World War I graves were desecrated at the same site. Then in April 2008 the same cemetery was attacked by anti-Islam vandals. Finally in November 2008 Muslim war gaves were attacked in Slovenia.
President Sarkozy called last nights attack revolting and hateful:
“Neo-Nazi vandals have daubed swastikas and racist graffiti on the graves of 500 First World War soldiers in the Muslim section of a military cemetery in northern France.
Slogans insulting the Islamic faith were sprayed on headstones in the second mass desecration this year at Notre-Dame de Lorette cemetery in the Somme.
Insults directed at Muslim-born French justice minister Rachida Dati were also painted on several headstones, police said…
… President Nicolas Sarkozy described last night’s attack as ‘a revolting and hateful act’.
‘It is both an insult to their religion and to the memories of brave men who fought and died for France.’
….An Arras police spokesman said: ‘These criminals vandalised around 500 of the 576 gravestones in the cemetery.We believe that once again the perpetrators are racially motivated and possibly connected to the National Front party or other far right organisations….
…During the First World War, France mobilised about 600,000 colonial subjects, including many Muslims from Algeria and Tunisia, of whom 78,000 were killed.
Some 1.2 million French soldiers were killed in all during the war.” (Source: Daily Mail)
The message from these vandals seems quite clear to all.
As a Muslim you can expect to fight and be killed for the freedoms of your colonial masters. But for your sacrifice expect that after 94 year some Nazi vandal will come along and desecrate your last resting place.

It is so shameful to see that even the most developed countries have peoples like those who disrespected the graves of brave soldiers, soldiers don’t belong to any religion they fight for a sacred cause, whoever did this should be taken strictly and should be ashamed of themselves.

Thanks Muntazir for commenting.
You are right all decent people should condemn such acts of hate. I am sure that it was done to time with Eid al-Adha and to cause maximum offence.
