Strasbourg: Muslim cemetery desecrated


Via the Canadian Press:

Unidentified assailants have toppled about 30 tombstones and scrawled swastikas into the ground at a Muslim cemetery plot in northeastern France.

Mayor Roland Ries has denounced the desecration of the Muslim section of a cemetery in the city of Strasbourg as "an unbearable racist act."

An umbrella group of French Muslim organizations expressed its "indignation" about the vandalism overnight Thursday to Friday and called on authorities to track down and punish the attackers.
