Christian war graves desecrated in Libya

Libya's leadership has apologised after armed men smashed the graves of British soldiers killed during World War Two, in acts of vandalism that appeared to be directed against non-Muslims.

Amateur video footage of the attacks, posted on video sharing site YouTube and social networking site Facebook, showed men casually kicking over headstones in a war cemetery and using sledge hammers to smash a metal and stone cross.

One man can be heard saying: "This is a grave of a Christian" as he uprooted a stone headstone from the ground.

Another voice in the footage says of the people buried in the cemetery: "These are dogs."

The dictators recently deposed (and deceased) with American assistance were guilty of not being committed enough to the jihad of the Murdering Muslims.

The world is actually in greater danger now than pre-Desert Storm II.

I doubt it. My Dad’s a stone mason and with all the digging he’s done, he’d at least found an arrowhead or two. Joking aside, it’s a disgusting thing to do.

Hopefully several. Then I can go out back and dig relics to my heart's content.

Hillary Clinton cheered Gaddafi’s murder and proclaimed “we got him!”

His murder was a war crime. He was tortured and murdered as a POW. This is a greater crime than the reported abuses at Abu Ghraib.

Barack’s foreign policy has been decided pro-Islamist. Seating the Muslim Brotherhood into power in Egypt and Libya is part of that agenda.

He will not denounce this religious hatred they are showing.

Give me a break. These people are defacing graves simply for their own pleasure, that’s a bit different than someone building a house on vacant land that someone might have been buried in long ago.

“lots have never been found.”

That just goes to show how silly your original statement was. If nobody knows where these unmarked burial grounds were, then the only way people could have been certain they weren’t “desecrating” them, would be simply to never build anything ever again. Ridiculous.

It was not silly, and you are making a mountain out of a dam mole hill. We bomber the hell out of german graves and japanese graves during ww1 and II, and no one gave a fart. So get over, dead is dead.

Worthless Saracen bastards. Truth is however the Libyans were pro-German.

The Axis powers(Germany and Japan) started WW2. The sowed the whirlwind and reaped it. Do you regret that?

My Dad built retaining walls through 300 ft. of our 2 acre property. He found some old glass throw out by the original homeowner, but no arrowheads, or femurs, for that matter.

Did not say that, I said this has been happening since the dawn of history. Do not make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Better luck next time, flat ground close to a water supply is the best place to look.
