From the Sabian Mandaean Association of Australia, with thanks to Mary Beth:
Several years ago the authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran confiscated the Mandaean cemetery at Ahwaz. The authorities casually disposed of all the human remains and asphalted the cemetery and used it as a car park. Eventually, the Mandaean community in Ahwaz was able to obtain a new burial ground. This new cemetery has now been desecrated by Muslims. Muslims have smashed headstones and in some cases have stolen the valuable marble slabs covering Mandaean graves.
Our Association has also been advised that Muslims have desecrated and destroyed the Mandaean cemetery at Khamzi Meel on the outskirts of Basra in Iraq. The Muslims have removed the fence, removed the sign, and destroyed the headstones. They are now grazing sheep and goats on the graves. The Association has also received a media report that Muslims have recently destroyed the largest Roman Catholic cemetery in Mogadishu, Somalia, digging up the human remains and dumping them on a beach. It appears that desecration of "infidel" cemeteries may be some sort of standard Islamic practice.
Unless, of course, it is perpetrated by those pesky Misunderstanders of Islam. Despite the best efforts of Ibrahim Hooper, Jamal Badawi, Stephen Schwartz, et al, they're everywhere.
Iran is well known for destroying Bahai cemeteries there as well.
Unfortunately, Iran does more than just destroy Bahai cemeteries:
"More than 200 Bahá'ís have been executed or killed, hundreds more have been imprisoned, and tens of thousands have been deprived of jobs, pensions, businesses, and educational opportunities. All national Bahá'í administrative structures have been banned by the Government, and holy places, shrines and cemeteries have been confiscated, vandalized, or destroyed."

This is not well known however since the media never report the truth about their favorite form of totalitarianism: Islam
Well, countries like Iran always get what's coming to them. The Ottomans, the Nazis, the Soviets, the Afghanis. Always.

And it can't come too soon.......
If search around on the Web for Lebanese information, you will find reports -all true- of Muslims destroying Christian cemetaries in the South of Lebanon. They dig up the bones, throw those in the roads and destroy the headstones. Its a religion of love after all.
Islam was designed for savages, custom made for the primitive, ignorant, illiterate mind. The ethos of barbarians revolves around physical power and strength and the ability to inflict destruction and suffering on the weak. Muslims are incapable of creating or building anything of value and derive a sense of worth through wanton destruction. The power of Islam is not a divine message from God, but a massive herd of human bodies with indoctrinated minds programmed to act in unison. That's all it's ever been but with its migration to the West, it has become a deadly threat.
Islam is the kiss of death. It destroys everything it touches, including the human spirit.
People who desecrate graves are no better than animals. Islam turns human beings into animals.
This is all part of islamic culture. How would they like it if we went to their cemetaties and urinated on their graves?
