Another manifestation of the Islamic division between believers and unbelievers, which is so deep and wide as to preclude even respect for the artifacts of the past -- and, in this case, human remains. "Somali militias target cemetery," from the BBC, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Militias from the Islamic courts set up in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, are destroying a colonial Italian cemetery.
They are digging up the graves and dumping human remains near the airport.The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan says he was horrified to see a large number of abandoned human skulls. Young boys were playing with one as a toy.
Somalia has not had a functioning national government since 1991 and rival militias have divided it into a patchwork of rival fiefdoms.
There are thousands of graves at the cemetery, of which some 700 have been destroyed.
The militias refused to let our correspondent enter the cemetery in dangerous north Mogadishu but locals say the gunmen want to turn it into a base.
Hundreds of people have gone to the former air force base, near the ruined international airport to see the dumped human remains.
Local resident Geedow Awaale Ali said the remains had been dumped overnight and he was worried about the spread of disease.
Law and order
Mogadishu was under Italian colonial control until World War Two and many of the graves belong to Italian soldiers and expatriates.
The Islamic courts were set up by businessmen in Mogadishu to bring some semblance of law and order to a city without a police force.
They must be running out of real live infidels to go after. maybe once the grave yard is purified, they'll start killing each-other.
I thought they were damaged by the tidal wave. What a horde of simians.
Somalia, Taliban Afghanistan and Sudan represent the asymptotic limits of the political, social, economic and cultural order to which the Islamic ideology leads all who embrace it. In spite of more than 13 centuries of effort, the Islamic societies have not been capable of transcending the tribal order extant at the time of Muhammad. Their economies are no more than scaled up versions of primative brigandage that operates by a process of perpetual raiding and plunder. The Islamic universe is one of constant strife, endless suffering and poverty of body and mind. It is a world devoid of the joy of the performing arts, romance, visual arts, free expression of the human spirit, unfettered public or private discourse, and scientific reasoning. It is in its essence, Somalia.
How long before the American cemeteries in France are treated this way???

No doubt when they topple the headstones of
the American soldiers that died in Europe
to buy our freedom Michael Moore will be their best friend and he'll make a movie about racism and Islamophobia.
NO MOORE - MORE FOOD
Local resident Geedow Awaale Ali said the remains had been dumped overnight and he was worried about the spread of disease.
It would be a fitting revenge of the dead.
Somalia is that country that anyone want to go in, any liberal! the catholic laic italian that was curing sick people was muredered because muslims thought that she was converting people to the Church, she was another martyr of this satanical religion, greetings
When the dedication of the first Islamic Mosque in London occurred, Prince Charles was present as a guest and possibly a speaker.
The head muslim Imam stated in his speech that it was the objective of Muslims to build a Mosque over the site of every Christian Church and every Christian cemetary in Britain. To the best of my knowledge, Prince Charles said nothing...during or after this event about that threat. I thought his family existed to defend the faith.
Yes, these dumb bastards dig up bones. Aren't these guys a piece of work?
A poster above wonders about what might happen to the graves of American soldiers in France. There have already been reports of graves of American and British soldiers being vandalized in France, by people particularly outraged by the Iraq War. Who might those people be?
It has already happened in France:
