(click here for more pics)The inscriptions (notably swastikas) and graffiti were found on most of the 576 Muslim graves. Most were covered by a capital letter drawn in black, others by a swastika. Some inscriptions, readable by joining letters written on the tombs, along with a placard affixed to one grave, insult Muslims. The inscriptions just as prominently cite Rachida Dati, the justice minister.
Jean-Pierre Valensi of the Arras prosecution says that at first glance this looks like the preceding desecration of April 2008.
The desecration was discovered by veterans early Monday morning, the day of the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha. According to Colonel Bruno Bresson, of the Pas-de-Calais police, since the previous desecration of the cemetery in April there have been random reinforcements and at certain times, surveillance of the cemetery, but tonight a patrol which passed about midnight did not notice anything. There were no suspect cars. The officer adds that it's a completely open site and extremely difficult to guard.
Significant resources are being put into the investigation, which involves many police agents of Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardie, as well as specialists from the IRCGN (The criminal Research institute of the national police) at Rosny-Sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis).
In the thick fog, criminal ID techs set up a black tent at the entrance to the Muslim plot and worked already by late morning marking the place.
President Nicolas Sarkozy quickly put out a statement announcing 'his profound indigniation' and 'his deep feelings' at the new desecration. "This despicable and revolting act, after that of last April, is the experssion of a repulsive racism directed against the Muslim community of France," accordindg ot the president. He expressedly asked to be kept informed of the investigation and insists that the perpetrators are promptly identified, tried and sentenced with all the necessariy severity.
Prime Minister François Fillon condemned the acts which he said 'attack the history of our country, the memory of men of honor'. Minister of the Interior Michèle Alliot-Marie also expressed her 'indignation' and her 'deep feelings'. 'All the necessary means are mobilized to quickly find the perpetrators of these intolerable acts."
Secretary of STate of Veterans Jean-Marie Bockel will visit the place Monday afternoon.
Martine Aubry, secretary of the Socialist Party, said in a statement that htis new desecration of Muslim graves at the military cemetery consitutes 'an injury to all French'.

Maybe "scholars" like Lewis and Crone will be happy to see this; after all, this is what Muslims are worthy of. I'm sure Daphne will have something to say!
Not sure why my name should be mentioned. I am a democrat. I condemn the desecration of graves and hope the culprits will be punished according to the rule of law.
Following on my example could you condemn the flogging of adulterers and the cutting off of the hands of thieves? Also the persecution of apostates & homosexuals.
It is not that your name should have been mentioned, but I wanted to. Going by your comments here, it is quite obvious how much you hate Islam and Muslims. I'm surprised you condemn this incident. Thank you! And goodbye!
I note that though I answered my question you gave no reply to mine. Could it be that you actually approve of flogging adulterers and chopping off the hands of thieves? And your stand on apostates, pagans and homosexuals? I can guess.
It is not muslims I hate but Islam. Islam is a neo nazi doctrine that corrupts decent people by making them believe in a god who endorses criminal acts. Just as decent german people were corrupted into believing in the heinous doctrines of Hitler.
You are welcome to note whatever it is that you want to note. I have deliberately avoided responding to your comments because I know from experience that you have your mind made up, your ugly hatred will keep rearing its head, and there is no point in a discussion with you. Have fun living in ignorance of my religion. And to hell with people who are so shameless and deprived.
"I have deliberately avoided responding to your comments"
Yet you continue to respond. But of course you do not answer my question. Do you or do you not condone the flogging of adulterers and the chopping off of the hands of thieves?
It's quite a simple question. But you seem to have a block upon answering it.
Could it be that you like to present yourself as a caring individual who is proud of her religion but does not like people to know that the religion is
hateful and ugly?
Daphne, could you condemn the restrictive and draconian traffic laws in your country that are used to fleece innocent drivers of their hard-eanred money for innocuous mistakes? And you have written in one of your posts "...hope that the culprits will be punished according to the rule of law." What "rule of law" are you talking about? The "laws" that are made to punish people. Why should such laws exist? And i am sure you would advocate the idea of creating a comfortable haven for thieves and killers because how can you stand seeing them behind bars? In case you are, that's a neo Nazi concept you are advocating.
I am a democrat. I agree with the people making the law and the law being enforced by a judiciary which is separate from the state.
If you want to know what Nazism is it is where laws are inscribed in stone and cannot be altered. It is where the judicary, religion and the state are all held together in one body. And where the people have no freedom over the running of their lives.
I find it strange that many muslims come to the west yet still want to enforce the neo nazi regimes they escaped from.

So for you, democracy is a religion and the people are your God. Not bad! If you want to know what faith is, it is where you believe in a higher being who is not unconcerned about you and who has given directives for your well-being.
I live in a Muslim country and i have, by the Grace of God, complete freedom over the running of my life. And so is the case with countless people in my country. Yes there are times when Muslims feel helpless and deprived of freedom and that is when the imperialist and hegemonic "democratic" Western powers use blatant lies as pretext to attack and control them. Talk about Nazism!
And let me ask you, oh champion of democracy, if a large majority of people in a country "democractically" want to be governed by the dictates and laws of their religion, would you have an issue with that? I am sure you would because behind the veil of democracy, what you want is the imposition of your worldview on others.
