War graves kicked in

No, but it's typically practised by Arabic people, and so join the dots...

Dear oh dear oh dear, SCM.

Go to the back of the class, with your race ignorance. I myself have many racey friends of diverse religions.

From Wikipedia

Islam is the world's second largest religion after Christianity. According to a 2010 study, Islam has 1.62 billion adherents, making up over 23% of the world population.

Islam is the predominant religion in the Middle East, in the Horn of Africa, in northern Africa,[3][4][5][6] and in some parts of Asia.[7] Large communities of Muslims are also found in China, the Balkans, and Russia.[8][3] Other parts of the world host large Muslim immigrant communities; in Western Europe, for instance, Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity, where it represents 6% of the total population.[9]
According to the Pew Research Center in 2010 there were 49 Muslim-majority countries.[10]

Around 62% of the world's Muslims live in the Asia-Pacific region, with over 1 billion adherents.[11] The largest Muslim country is Indonesia home to 12.7% of the world's Muslims followed by Pakistan (11.0%), India (10.9%), and Bangladesh (9.2%).[3][12]

About 20% of Muslims live in Arab countries.[13] In the Middle East, the non-Arab countries of Turkey and Iran are the largest Muslim-majority countries; in Africa, Egypt and Nigeria have the most populous Muslim communities.[3][12]

A study conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2010 and released January 2011[14][3] found that there are 1.62 billion Muslims around the world, accounting for roughly 1 in 4 people.

The study found more Muslims in Germany than in Lebanon and more in China than in Syria.[3]

But let's get back to the desecration of graves.

It is inexcusable.

Australia Aboriginal burial site vandalised

The desecration of an Aboriginal burial site in eastern Australia has been condemned as "disgusting and sickening" by Australian officials.

The Nazi swastika, and the words KKK and white power were inscribed across the wall and several headstones at the Fingal Head cemetery, a burial ground for Aboriginal people in the north of New South Wales state.

The desecration is thought to have happened early Tuesday, reports say.

Police are investigating the incident.
'Traumatic'

New South Wales Aboriginal Affairs Minister Victor Dominello expressed outrage over the incident: "Any racist attack on a site that is the designated final resting place for people of any culture or heritage is disgusting and sickening."

Burial sites are deeply sacred places in Aboriginal culture and even saying a dead person's name is taboo because it is considered disrespectful, correspondents say.

A local indigenous man said the act of vandalism at the cemetery, which was used by Aborigines between 1864 and 1964, was distressing.

"There was a photograph which they smashed and left lying there, so that's pretty traumatic for the family," Kevin Slab told reporters.

Local Mayor Barry Longland said the attack took the community by surprise.

"There is a very close-knit community there with a strong indigenous representation."
